The pressure of fitting into highschool is not the greatest pressure of life. The greatest pressure of life is being an adult and having to wait on if you'll get the job that'll feed you and your family and having to be extra respectful to everyone above you, so that you'll maybe get a promotion or are less likely to get fired. Highschool, socially wise, is not a tremendous pressure; as long as you don't make it one. The pressure of fitting in is for those only that wish to strive friends and not be talked about in negative manner. That pressure only go to those that try to artificially fabricate relationships that will do nothing more than peace of mind. Disclaimer: peace of mind is not in its own right a bad thing, but when its strived for
In high school surviving is the hardest things to do, when anyone first come there. The best thing to do is finding a clique of people and join them. Finding different cliques are not that hard, but knowing who they are and adapting the environment is one of the hardest thing to do in high school. Finding a wrong clique can lead anyone straight down to a life of hell or worse. Students who entering high school can identify the types of cliques of student are in, and join up with whatever cliques that their find is good for them.
I think I speak for many people when I say high school is a critical point in one’s life. Coming into high school, things seemed to be tightly-knitted between my peers and I; those of us who had just
Middle school to high school is a big jump from not only school to school but also new people coming into our school, harder academics, sports are now a part of your school life, and a jump from school to school. My thoughts on high school have really changed over the past few weeks. When I first realized that we we're going to be in high school shortly, I got a little freaked out. Although I know alot of high schoolers and specific people that go to West I still feel overwhelmed by the fact that i'm going from a 600 person school to a 1,200+ person school. For the longest time I felt if high school would be the hardest part of my life and getting accustomed to the new setting would be hard for me, I thought the people there we're mean and
“Why fit in when you can stand out?” You have been told this your whole life. But whose responsibility is it to find out where you fit in, yours? Or your peers? Your adolescent years are all about trying to not stand out, and trying just as hard to fit in with the “in crowd.” You use more energy trying to “fit in,” instead of just spending all your energy on being who you really are. A group of friends are suppose to have things in common, but that is hard when everyone is putting up a fake persona. It is the student body’s responsibility to make sure that everyone has a place they can fit in and be themselves. People spend their whole lives trying to “fit in,” while the people who “stand out” are the ones who become something. Think
If students would just not get stuck into peer pressure, manage time, and be themselves, then they would strive in high school. Peer pressure is hard to overcome but if students think through the consequences and what could happen to them then it would be easier to overcome. Managing time can easily be fixed if students would plan ahead of time and not wait till the last minute. Fitting in can be hard but everyone just needs to be themselves and not care what others think about you. High school may be a time of struggle but it is for enjoyable times
High school High school is a very crucial part of everybody’s life filled with many learning moments and also times that most would like to never redo. This being said we all go through this time and we can all relate to the stereotypes that come along with high school. Some were on the top and others were on the bottom, but everyone had their specific place.
In the article title “Individuality vs. Conformity: The Healthy Middle?” by an anonymous high school student it says that there are only two thing that a typical high school student wants to typically achieve in their short high school life (par. 1). One of these things is to fit in (par. 2). The second one is to be different (par. 3). How could you do this?. You could choose to be individual or just conform. However I really maintain the idea that what we should really do it's to stay in the middle so we won't forget who we really are and still be liked by different groups of people.
When I first started high school I wasn’t nearly as worried as some other kids were, since I had been going there for several years already. My dad has been the band director at Mason City High School since I was one year old, and so I have been inside the building many times throughout my life. In middle school I would walk over to the band room after school got out, so I already knew many of the older students in the school. Many of them already knew me pretty well by the time that I made it to freshman year, so it wasn’t hard to make friends. A lot of freshmen are worried about the seniors, but since the majority of my older friends were seniors, I had no problem hanging out with them.
As teenagers, we’re all told in high school that “These are the best years of your life! Don’t waste them!” or something to that extent. Though in reality, high school is nothing more than a stress filled scramble to find your own identity or at the very least, one that will allow you to survive the next four years of hormones and midnight cram sessions. Some people find it unnaturally easy to find their clique, and others struggle to do so. I fall in with the latter category.
At first glance high school seems to be a fun and relaxed time. A time that you get to hang out with friends and participate in extracurricular activities. Some of your most treasured memories will be made in high school. However, high school is a cruel and unforgiving place. In high school individuals get judged by their appearance, the way they act, and who they hang out with.
Fitting in. This is essential in high school. Adults will try to feed you mind-numbingly stupid information like, “Be you” and “Why fit in, when you were born to stand out” Disregard these senseless pieces of so-called “advice” and try your absolute hardest to fit in with the cool kids. If you try to be your own individual person, and embrace what makes you unique, you’re just going to be weird. I mean, really weird. Who wants to be weird, or different? Nobody! That’s who. High Schoolers often times get a bad wrap for being know-it-alls (which is completely untrue). Teenager’s opinions matter more than anyone! The lack of life experience and ignorance in many of life’s facets is exactly what you need to hone in on, in order to become the coolest
For four long years I felt as if my high school was in a different world in of itself. I had spent that time interacting with an extensive amount of groups, or “cliques”, and getting to know what they do. Through my experiences, I had begun to realize what made this “subculture” high school of sorts run like it did. High school is an incredibly dynamic time for people, and I had changed as a person dramatically from my freshman to senior year. Like many, my freshman year was quite awkward, as remnants of my middle school self remained with me. As time went on, how, I talked to more people and grew out of my passive and shy personality. This did not just randomly happen without reason though. I began to learn and realize who I was and whom I enjoyed talking to in school, which explained why I spent so much time socializing with multiple kinds and groups of people. Everyone’s concept of “normal” was different, and high school was where I learned that lesson and will never forget.
Back in my old school, fitting in was something more important for the students, rather than getting good grades. I had a group of friends who made me do everything they told me to, and there
I along with countless other freshman now have finished my first semester to high school. The first of a total of 8 and I’ve already messed up and know that these mistakes will be permanent. As of right now the only thing I am able to do is try harder next time. I understand that Freshman year is the start and that you are now in an unfamiliar place, around unfamiliar people. But as it might seem obvious that you should first find your place among people and fit in, that is a wrong approach. Freshman year is very detrimental and will shape how the rest of your years in high school play out, whether you fail through your first year or soar through above everyone else is simply your choice. People change, that is a very fact of life. Therefore
Freshman year is the year you have idolized all through your childhood. You finally become a high school student. The pressures almost all freshman deal with are: transitioning into high school, staying focused, and the influence from your friends. High school is very different transformation from middle school. Because of this difference, it 's sometimes is hard for you to adjust to the change. The social aspect of high school is larger because there are students from the other middle schools combined into one high school. Meeting new people can lead you to forget about your work. As a
