Several times I’ve lost the interest of a boys attention to a friend. A friend that said they had no interest in perusing a relationship with that boy. Later on they become jealous and sabotage our relationship. My junior year I was with a boy named Jared. I became really good friends with his friends and truly believed they were my friends. Later on in the relationship my friend Destiny started having feelings for him and started going behind my back and trying to get his attention. She would start rumors about me to try and throw my boyfriend off and try and make him lose feelings for me. After this Jared and I started to spiral downwards like a tornado. At the time I had no idea what Destiny was doing so I still thought we were really great friends. When I needed some one to vent to I went to her, and of course her playing her two-sided game she would use my troubles against me. Jared and I did stop being in a relationship, because people would not keep their business out of ours. In the long run Jared and I are still really close friends and neither of us speak to

As I read the article on Boys’ anti-school culture, I learned that boys perform worse in school. Boys may try to incorporate their social status as risk-takers. I also learned that there are some stereotypes among boys and girls. It doesn’t matter where you live, it starts early in age. Preteen kids tend to believe that males and females should think a certain way. To understand the meaning of stereotype, it is any thought about specific types of individuals or certain ways of behaving which represents the entire group as a whole. Studies were made about how stereotype inspect what people think of others, rather than the reasons and methods involved in stereotyping. Just as (Griffin, 2000), stated that debates on boys and their schooling are

Have you ever had to choose between a friend and spot on the team? I haven’t and I don’t want to ever in my lifetime. Finley in my book has to choose between being good friends with Russell Allen and not helping him through his hard times or starting spot of the basketball team. Boy 21 by Matthew Quick has a theme in the book of don’t be selfish I think, and this matters because it’s caring for others more than yourself is more important always because for example if your friend is hurt and can’t hang then your life isn’t very fun so care for others and they won’t get hurt.

Pete is one of the most interesting and varied characters in this book, and I’m choosing to combine the two “separate” characters in this response, and analyze Pete as a whole. Pete is introduced as “The Meathead”, a total jock that has rejected the stresses of the overachiever culture that perpetuates the Whitman campus. Initially he attempted to act in sync with the other students, but he had a breakdown after using diet pills to stay up to complete a complicated essay for school. Pete ‘s purpose of inclusion is to show that there is more to high school than just studying and school, but one should also hang out with friends and have fun. His family is going through economic struggles due to his father losing his lucrative programming job

Boom! Billy Bizmo slammed in through the door and pointed his splat gun at my face. “Where do you think you are going!” he yelled as he observed the materials I had put into a bag. Before I could respond he tazed me with his splat gun. This is could be one of the outcomes in the novel The Last Book in the Universe. I found it hard to agree with many of the choices that Spaz made to save Bean. If Spaz made different choices he could have made the journey shorter, less dangerous, and easier.

“When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.” Whenever I think of Dumby Red, this quote is the first thing that comes to mind. Not only did he often say the quote himself, but it also perfectly depicted who he was. No matter what, Dumby always tried to see the good in every situation and always tried to help me do the same. That’s one of the many reasons why Dumby and I were close. He was more than a best friend to me. He was an older brother. Someone I looked up to and trusted. He was the one who encouraged me to see the bright side of things day after day. He was the one who always had my back. So to now know that Dumby has breathed his last at such an early age, I can’t deny the fact

After thoroughly reading the first factor, ‘Changes at School,’ I completely agree with the author Leonard Sax for the reasons boys are showing a lack of motivation in school. An example he states which I was able to connect with is the lack of real-world experiences in our curriculums. I completely agree with this point and can relate as I know all about the mechanics of a telescope and how it works, however, if I were given a one I would have difficulties using it. Moreover, I do believe that boys are in trouble as women continue to create greater gender gap. This is evident in the statistics as 64.8 percentages of women between the ages of 24 and 35 have post-secondary degrees and this number has consistently increased over the years. Whereas, 63.4 percent
