The downfall of society can be traced back to 2 things: pop music and high school. Pop music has corrupted us. I remember before this "bubblegum" era, little girls played with dolls and wore shirts with cartoons and animals on them. Now, I'm seeing eight year olds singing about sex, talking about all their "boyfriends" and wearing things you shouldn't be wearing until you're in college. I never even liked guys when I was that young, and I didn't care about how skinny I was. Look what pop music has done to us...now, on to high school. In high school, you meet people that can either build you up or tear you down. You have to be wise enough to distinguish the difference. New elements are thrown into the scheme of things in high school. There's now this gap between you and the opposite sex that never existed before in such an extent. You watch the people you once played on the playground with make decisions that will eventually harm them. You see people covering their true selves up to fit in with cliques, and uncovering their midriffs. Nothing stays the same forever, but these changes I could do without. Surely there must be a fast forward button on my life...
Sad, but true. My friends and I have noticed that it seems, to be "cool" or "popular" you have to do one or more of the following:
1). Have lots of sex (with your significant other or just sleeping around)
2). Drink
3). Smoke or do any drugs
4). Play for a good team
5). Date someone cool (ex. football player)
6). Be Skinny (Girls)
There's other things too, but it all goes to show the sad but true reality of my environment (NEHS).

SCHOOL'S BACK!!! Bleh...
Sophomore year's way different than freshman year. Last year was kinda fun, but we were the lowest of all scum. Now I'm just void, and there's much more work to do. Fun fun fun.
So far, I suppose things are okay. There's much work to be done and no fun, but that's the way life is. I just hate going to school because it reminds me of everything I'm not and everything I'll never be. All the people I'll never live up to. Man I wish I was good at something, or pretty, or something that might distinguish me as worthwhile person, but alas my life, in the words of Anne of Green Gables, is "a perfect graveyard of buried hopes and dreams."
Who's got spirit? Not me... I have a lot of opinions though. Now, school isn't my most favorite of all places, but there is room for much improvement. I get angry when people do things they know will only get them in huge trouble. How many kids have brought drug paraphanalia to school in the past years? I've lost count. I have no remorse when they are expelled...boo hoo, go to rehab. They knew it was coming. Student teachers really bother me, as most people know, because I inevitably do worse whenever instructed by a student teacher. And about those infant simulators... those aren't even CLOSE to the real thing. Those are nothing but a nuisance. If they really want to show kids what it's like to have a baby, they should have to take care of a small infant for a day, then they'd understand the difference.
And about the dress code. Am I going crazy, or does it seem that the dress code is only enforced to the beautifully-impaired? NO, they don't care when the little twiggies wear tube tops or daisy-dukee, yet a girl my size would immediately be asked to change if she were to wear something like that. And why's that? They WANT to see little no-bodied sickly girls in tight clothes,because apparently that's attractive. Oh the injustice of it all... "lookism" (prejudice based on looks) is the subject of much scientific study now, and it's shown that pretty people get ahead in life... what a surprise.
