Rumor has it

Rumors and gossip spread like a wild fire in a forest. One thing leads to another and your'e the only thing people are talking about. Chances are the words that linger around campus aren't even true. In High School ,stories and lies are all sorts of shapes and sizes like the people they are told by. Other ways the stories become the top gossip is by re-winding and "re-newing the words of what really happened." Have you ever played the game telephone? Well spreading rumors is pretty much the exact same game. The game telephone is when you have a huge group of people and one person says something and whispers to the next person and so forth. Most likely the word or phrase you start with will change drastically. Stopping rumors and gossip is merrily impossible and hard not to do.

Tongue Tied

Don't leave me tongue tied. Teachers making you read aloud, presenting presentations, performing skits? The worst feeling is nerves. If you have a bad case of the jitters look no further, because everyone around you feels the same. Butterflies screaming to be let free in your stomach? This blog will show you steps and tips on how to keep calm and carry on. The number one step is to BREATHE! Next is to re-read what you will presenting to make sure you got it down, but not too much over stressing somethings causes your brain to go on overload and cause your nerves to go hay-wire. Lastly make sure you look presentable and calm so no one can tell how nervous you truly are. By the end of your presentation and after following these steps your teacher will say "You definitely didn't leave me tongue tied,"

Relationship status # 1

One of many relationship blogs of mine. Your status in high school is everything...but your relationship status adds to it. "Going Steady" is a thing in the past. Now it's "hooking up, talking, seeing each other" and it gets a lot more complicated. High school relationships were thought to be meaningless, but to students and their peers it's a life line. Teenagers are too embarrassed and shy to say how they really feel and end up getting caught up in meaningless relationships or allow themselves to be taken advantage of. Witnessing it everyday teens still don't understand the concept of actually being in a serious relationship with another person. Lying doesnt consist of little white lies anymore, now with the new teenage generation lieing is a new language for teens that we all know fluently. Making up massive stories for just one lie is where it starts in most teen relationships. Cheating is the next big thing. Students will do anything to "get some". As in teens will play each other and drop them, like a child does everytime they get a new toy.

Beginning of discovering what high school is all about.

High school is a place where nobody is safe. Rumors, scandals, lies, cheating and just drama is what hides  behind the walls of learning. It all seems normal from the outside, but when the bell rings to start school till the bell rings to end school chaos can occur. This can start from a friend telling a friend a secret, to the whole school talking about that secret that those two friends shared most likely not long from the time the rumor has spread. In high school actions don't speak louder than words. One word can change a life, like calling someone "fat". Obviously teens in general are becoming less sociable due to technology, so kids become unable to stand up for themselves from bullies and lies. Due to this students become weaker and weaker. So in this place us students call "prison" we have more reasons than just disliking school. Some are getting bullied and others don't want the drama.  But either way high school is dysfunctional no matter how many teachers or parents refuse, kids are kids no matter how much we try to be good and like everyone, it doesn't work that way. The cliques won't every join together like the "popular's" or the "nerds's" opposites don't want to become one.
