Public Display of Effection
One of the most distracting things about high school is definitely all of the public displays of affection. This is otherwise known as P.D.A. It’s in the hallways, classrooms, and even sometimes in the lunchroom! P.D.A is just plain disruptive and needs to be stopped.

The moment I step on to school grounds it begins. Couples are hugging and holding hands and it isn’t even eight am yet. Walking into the school I’m greeted by the sight of people lip-locking all around me. I have to squeeze between my locker and whoever is being kissed against it. I’m dogging through all the couples to escape being caught in the middle of one of their countless make-out sessions. I’ve never noticed just how many couples actually attend Amery High School.

If the same amount of energy put into flirting was put into doing our homework everyone would get straight A’s. There are always a few girls in each classroom that flirt non-stop. They never get any work done and in the meantime, distract the rest of us. Pardon me for wanting a future. The classroom is where we’re supposed to be learning, but it’s impossible for any one to concentrate with such distractions!

P.D.A also takes place in the hallways of our high school. It’s the worst! I have to practically go on an expedition to get to my locker. I have to weave in and out of girls and boys between every class. It’s like there is some invisible couple magnet pulling them all to one locker bank. They all seem to congregate in one area and crowd by MY locker. Half of the time, neither one of the people actually have a locker by mine. Heading back to class, the hallways transform into a jungle and its inhibitors are all of the love-birds kissing.

I personally don’t have a problem with dating, but I do have a problem with constant groping. The worst is when you need to speak with on e of your friends and you’ve come to find out they’ve turned to the dark side also. All you need is a simple answer to a question, but you don’t

    With the growing concern for obesity in the kids coming up today the government is calling for dramatic changes in school meals, including limiting french fries, sodium and calories and offering students more fruits and vegetables. About a third of children and adolescents — 25 million kids – are obese or overweight.

    Schoolies Week

    • 1241 Words
    • 5 Pages

    She opens her article by recounting her personal experience of schoolies week in high school, when “there were no wire barriers, dance raves, or identity bracelets” needed during schoolies week, and “nobody’s life came to a standstill as a result of missing out”. By including this anecdote in the beginning of her article, Wilson instantly engages the reader, and gives them a picture of how schoolies has evolved over the years, from a “quiet affair involving a couple of hundred school leavers”, to a “booze and drug fest of the highest order”. The anecdotal evidence also encourages the reader to accept the writer as a credible source of information due to her personal experience in the matter, and the evidence she provides which show that “at least a third of the kids involved [in schoolies] are underage”, enhances this effect by adding even more legitimacy to her arguments, convincing the audience to share in her point of…

    After discussing this report with my parents, they remembered a time last year when I came home and complained about a group at school. I recall last year around June, when I passed a group of friends. All standing in a circle gossiping by the gym. There were five or six - three girls, and I think two or three guys. Easily, I could tell that two of the guys were in a relationship with two girls because they were holding hands. I was opening my locker a few feet away so I could easily eavesdrop without much suspicion. As I twisted the lock around to my combination, the lock opening with a click, and I heard them mention a name of someone I knew. One of the girls, who was holding…

    This sort of tawdry teenage conduct spooks some administrators. The principal of Manuel High School, Beverly Keepers, witnessed teens doing the nasty and had the good sense to turn up the lights. Soon chaperones were moving through the crowd, separating couples. "Nothing seemed to calm them down," Keepers said. "It's difficult when you have 800 students to tap every one on the shoulder when they're dancing inappropriately." Tapping 800 students on the shoulder would be exhausting! But the chaperones pressed on. Keepers complained that they saw it everywhere on the dance floor. "It looked like they were having sex, only with their clothes on, and sometimes the clothes were pretty revealing. To me, a public school should not allow that to…

    Middle school is a pathway to new opportunities, important information to remember, and a time for new, and different, experiences. When students enter the chaotic world of middle school, many will feel an urge to break free from the chains, restrictions, that the administration has placed upon them. One experience that many middle school students anticipate is the ability to date whomever they choose. This issue is thoroughly debated about within schools and usually concludes to the banning of dating between students. Schools need to allow the right for the students to date because it allows for the practice of an extremely important life skill that some combat with… social interaction.

    They are patiently waiting for someone to bump into them as they are flying to their next class before the bell rings. They are patiently waiting for someone to bump into them so hard, that they will drop their books and the person who bumped into them will pick up them up and they will fall deeply in love with each other. What better way is there to meet the one you are going to spend the rest of your life? Parents and teachers need to open their eyes and realize that high school is all about love. They would be doing us a favor by supporting what we really want to get out of high school. Science class should be all about learning the chemistry of love not that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, which is extremely useless. We should be devoting our knowledge and time into how to get the cute boy or girl you almost bumped into as you rushed to class. Teen love is all around us, if only you will open your eyes and realize it! It is the best type of love you can ever experience. High school love is so…

    the importance of physical appearance and female self-consciousness – her fear of standing at the blackboard thinking there was a red stain on the back of her clothing – reference to menstruation and the associated “shame”. "I did it up!" "You look like a Zulu. Oh, don't worry. Let me get a comb and I'll do the front in a roll. It'll look all right. It'll even make you look older."

    Let's Talk About Sex

    Nationally, nearly one million young women under the age of 20 become pregnant each year. That means close to 2,800 teens get pregnant each day (The Annie E. Casey Foundation, 117). A study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation shows that approximately four million teens get an STD every year. Experts estimate that as many as one in three sexually experience young people will have an STD by the age of 24 (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation). So is this because of lack of education about sex or are teenagers just that careless? It could be a mix of both, but lack of sexual education seems to play a big part in this problem. Sexual education should be increased in school because problems like teenage pregnancy and STDs are becoming more of an issue and having more knowledge could help teenagers learn the consequences and risks of irresponsible sexual behavior.…

    It is 7.00am and teenagers of all shapes and sizes dressed in all shades imaginable pour into the entrance accompanied by the buzzing of the latest gossips. Uniforms, such a bore! Though free to dress in whatever attire we desire, we still have a dress code to follow. The warmth of welcome surrounds you when you step foot on the school’s entrance. You will not feel isolated as you can join many groups or societies to your liking. As the bell rings, clanging of lockers fill the air. School has commenced. First period, homeroom. Attendance would be rechecked since it was already registered from the main entrance by using the ‘matrix card’. The class teacher would read the announcements and before you know it, the second period bell has rung.…
