High school it's all about puberty and hitting those awful hormones. Once you reach those stages it's hard to control. I know it's near the end of the year and I am posting this late, but better late than never. I am going to talk about the sex hormones.
And I warn you this will get awkward.
For many, once they get their hormones they have needs and get horny. And once they see a really hot/cute person they just "need" to have them. After a while or so the person would want to think that it is "the time" to do. And they would either talk the other person into it.
For most males they would be glad to have sex (with a person that is really cute/hot or if they just love the them).
For most girls they want to wait for the perfect time and the right person to have sex with. Unless they are whore/sluts then they want the attention and are lonely.
But you can't forget the people that are abstinence. They wait until they are married to have sex.
Back to the point.
Once they have sex some forget to use protection or it breaks. This most times leaves the girls pregnant. Hense making both teenagers' parents angry.
And it happens that sometimes the girl would get an abortion, because she either can't handle it or she doesn't want it.
Another thing that sometimes happens is that the boy would leave the girl with the baby and have no connection with it.
Both scenarios happen. And some times:
- The boy wants to keep the baby, but the girl doesn't- hense the abortion.
- They both don't want the baby and the girl doesn't want to feel the pain- abortion.
- They both want the baby and keep it.
- The girl has the baby, but gives it away to adoption.
There could be other scenarios that I didn't mention but the point I am trying to make is that teenagers are driven by their ragging hormones and that could cause the teenagers to make huge mistakes. Parents need to be aware of their teenagers and to know that when they were teenagers with the same needs, that it hasn't changed for teenagers now. Also that teenagers have to be careful and to think before they act. Being a high schooler is not that difficult to not think and be more careful.
Everyone makes mistakes, because they are not aware of the consequences of their actions. For one consequence becoming or getting someone pregnant is a huge consequence and huge responsibility.
To conclude teengagers need to be more responsible and more alert in what could happen in life.

End of the year
It's almost the end of the school year and everything is getting more and more packed and frustrating. Students are slacking on work or they are stressed with finishing work. Many are cramming for the finals or getting ready to fail.
Students think that the end of the year is the time for slacking off and that they'll get the good grades they have whether they do the work or not, but they are sadly mistaken. The exact opposite happens. I'm not saying that every student thinks like this but some do. It might be common sense to know that they aren't going to get the good grade that they have now if you don't do the work, but some people don't know or forget common sense.
This is why most student are stressed out with finishing all the homework they just got or got months ago and projects teachers give them when it's near the end of the year. They want to have good grades for whatever their parents say they'll do when their child gets decent grades or so they don't have to retake a class again.
The end of the year is a sad and happy time for students. Seniors are either happy they are leaving high school to go to college or they are sad that they are leaving and are going to different colleges than their friends. They are also scared of what will happen in college (like I talked about in my pervious blog: the Future).
Students younger than seniors are happy that summer vacation is almost here or they are sad about leaving school, because they liked this year and hate that more kids younger than them are coming. You'll be surprised how many teens hate kids.
Some friends are leaving to other schools or another state. Which is another sad part about the year ending.
And that maybe next year they won't have that much classes with their friends or no classes with them.
Most students have become content with their school life right now and are sad that it's going to change. But some are probably happy with it changing.
The end of the school year is an emotional and stressful thing in a teenagers life. They have to deal with more changes, finals, and their emotions getting the best of them.

The future
Most high schoolers are totally stressed and scared about the future. They wonder what college they'll get into, where they'll work, and if anything will work out.
Students tend to stress themselves out with all the work they are doing and all the things they are balancing. They want something good to happen to them, which explains their actions. Some also need to save money for whatever they want to do in the future.
Many don't know what they want to do in the future and they're scared of what will happen. There are also many that know what they want and are trying to accomplish them. And there are the ones that don't care, they live in the moment, living care-free until it's the right time to worry.
Looking more into it, people that aren't sure about the future and that are scared of their unsurement are stressing out on what to do and what will happen. They aren't sure if they want to go to college and if they do they don't know which college to go to or if they can afford it. They don't know what they want their career to be or what they will become in the future. Or that they will become what they wanted to be.
For the students that do know what they want their future to be and are attempting to accomplish it are working their butts off to see their perfect future happen. Hence, stressing themselves with so much to balance. They are sure and they are determined, but they still have worries to deal with like if-again- if they have enough money for the right college, if their current job gives enough money to support you, some careers have competition, and if they can pass and handle college studies.
Students that don't have any idea and don't care about their future yet are the either the goof-offs or the ones that do great in school but just live in the moment. they don't dwell in the past or future. They are down to earth. They let things happen naturally not forcing or even letting it go out of control. Their worries though are the same as for the ones that know and don't know what to do. College is a big deal and what you'll turn into, but for them it's not attacking them as hard or at the moment.
Students have a lot or pressure and decisions they have to face in the near-by future. Whether they want to succeed in their dream future or make their future a new.
The future is indeed scary and unreachable, but you just need to relax and do the best you can- if not better. Just do good in school and take care of yourself and make the right choices in life.

Labeling
Labeling is like stereotyping, but catagorizing them either goth, cutter/"emo", scene, ganster, loser, nerd, hippie, bad curse names, etc. Labeling, I would say, comes before stereotyping. It leads into the stereotypes of "what you are."
You just can't express yourself without someone labeling you as whatever your appearance looks like to them. It gets annoying and sometimes it brings in bullying. People expect you to hang out with "your kind."
Both labeling and stereotyping seems the same, but they really aren't, they have some differences.
For example, some says:
"Oh my gosh. Look at her she's such a goth [labeling]. Those are ugly baggy pants and way to much dark make up. She probably goes to her room and like talks to ghosts and writes in her diary who she hates and wants to kill [stereotyping].
"Look, there she goes again. She's so emo [labeling], I mean like come on get over yourself. She probably goes to the corner of the room and cuts herself [stereotyping]. It's most likely that she has cuts all over her arms."
You see the difference a little. Labeling goes into the stereotyping, but it doesn't go into detail like stereotyping. Stereotyping goes deeper into poeple's lives, while labeling only catagorizes you into how you look/dress.
Also, yes most high school students are that mean like in my examples. Most students are selfish and inconciderate.
You see? I'm labeling students as selfish and inconsiderate. Just like stereotyping it's inevitable. It's something we can't control. Sure we can bottle it up but we can never stop labeling people as they look.
Like I typed earlier, no one can be themselves or even express themselves without some person gudging them.
High schoolers have a major inpact on this. People think of free speech and blurt out something rude about how the other acts looks and labels and stereotypes them without thinking of how the other will feel.
Grown ups label and stereotype as well but they are more mature and considerate, and so they keep their opinion and comments to themselves.
High schoolers have to face these harsh and useless labels that are said to them and the mean comments the some times come after the label.

stereotyping
Stereotyping is a major thing in high school. It's a major habit everywhere, but high schoolers have more of an affect.
When you are a different race stereotyping is inevitable. Everyone stereotypes. Adults and kids.
For example, if you're:
Caucasian, poeple think you are full of yourself, rich, and racist. People see you as smart and possible good-looking.
African American, people think that they are troublesome brats and don't care much about education. They all are gansters and love basketball. Fun overall people.
Hispanic, people tend to think that are loud, trouble makers (most at least). Also, that the girls are mostly snobby, dramatic and cocky. They all want attention. For the boys people think that they are all cocky as well and that they are all goofy. All in all people think that they are cool people that could only be handles if you are good with drama and attitude.
Asian, people think that all you care about is work, work, work. That you have strict parents and are uptight. You only eat certain types of food, and that you don't seem fun at all. They all look alike and are very very smart.
These are the major races that are stereotyped. But we all have to know that everyone is and acts differently. If we were suppose to be the same as our race then we would look alike and act the same as everyone else of our race, but we don't so people have to stop being so ignorant and arrogent (again I say this), because we assume too much and we try to make ourselves feel better.
Some times stereotyping hurts. It leaves you without friends and makes people not talk to you. Some times people are bullied because of their ethnicity and later they result in a bad way and think negatively on everything. Most that is. Some people can stand it and just ignore it. They live their lives the same and just laugh it out, leaving it in the past.
Students have to deal with stereotyping everyday they come to school. Either by the way they walk, dress, talk, and who they hang out with. This is just another annoyance in high school students life.

Homework
In high school, teachers pack you with a lot of homework. And when you are taking honors programs then you barely get a life from all the homework they give you.
Some teachers have due dates and won't accept your work afterwards (or at least gets points off), stressing some kids out when they're trying to get the work done.
Then there are the teachers that don't have short due dates and accepts it anytime before the school year ends.
This makes most kids slack off, stressing themselves do the work at the last minute.
And like I said earlier some teachers give you a lot of work to do over the weekend, forcing you to some times cancel events that would make you not complete the work.
As homework comes along, teens plan on copying work from one another- to save time. Then some teens don't even do the work because they don't care about school or their education.
Homework as a lot of hate against it from kids, with all the stress and waste of time it has on them.

Friends
There are so many kinds of friends that you could be friends with in high school. All you have to do is pick the ones that you think would be good friends and fun to be with.
A lot of kids complain about their friends; like how they're not good enough and how they don't live up to your expectations.
Some be friend people out of pity. Others just don't have friends. But most are very okay with their friends now.
Some tips for you is to get lower expectations and that its your fault for picking the friends you have now. And hey there might be a reason why fate wanted you to be friends.
But if you don't have friends, then I suggest you act nicer and not so shy and start talking. I know it's hard but it'll be worth it.
But if you are anti-social, well... Keep doing what you want to do.
Talking more about friends, there are the kinds of friends that are bad influences. Putting pressure on their other friends to do drugs, have sex, and drink alcohol- just doind bad thing in general when they are not ready to do these experiences.
Then there are the ones that are uptight ones. Most hold you back from living life- from exploring new things. The uptight ones are sorta like the shy ones, they just don't want to do anything outrageous.
There are also the bossy ones, causing their friends to feel lower than them and making them do as they say. Trying to control everything and be the leader.
There are the hypocritical ones. Ones that just do something to you that you would never do to them that you know would anger them, but yet they still do it to you whether you like it or not.
And last there are the good friends. For most people it's hard finding the perfect friend, but they sometimes find a decent one that fits your dream friend. Good friends care about you, support you, are there for you, make you laugh and truely smile, and that you can tell anything to them and they won't judge (at least as much as usual people would).
You probably thought I forgot one other friend, the best friend.
To me that's not really a type a friend. It's a stereotype. You just picked a friend or friends and labeled them your best friend(s), triumphing over the rest of your friends. They are the same as good friends, but you just trust them more and hang out with them more.
Making friends and finding the right ones are a hard obstacle in high school. Teens will never stop judging whether they want to or not. Teens are arrogant and ignorant. It's hard when you are being judged from your appearance and the way you walk/act.
