Best Prom Ever

The Pressure of High School High school is basically one big popularity contest, and the students will do anything it takes to be the winner. Everyone wants the most friends and to be at the best parties, at any cost. The students are young and experiencing new things, and that makes them very naïve and impressionable. Peer pressure is a very common aspect that students give in to just to be a cool kid. Peer pressure can push people into doing things that they wouldn’t normally do. I was sixteen

He grabbed the Gun that Alex gave him and tried to look for the best person to rob nearby. He saw an old lady in a wheelchair so he ran up to her and he pointed the gun. “Give me all your money now.” Troy demanded. The lady was struggling to open the purse but eventually she opened it and took out 2,000 dollars worth

that was the case we still wanted to enjoy ourselves and have fun as teens. It was about time we had some fun. One day Akrita mentions a brilliant statement over lunch, “ I just want to do something that we will always remember, I mean when do we ever do something crazy fun?.” I instantly agreed excitedly and brought up lists of ideas we could do. Normally we’d just talk the talk never walk the walk because we feared the consequences but i knew this time was going to be different. As that day passed

Chapter 1… Even though he only had one tattoo I yearned him to fill the lonely hours between Dr Phil and days of our lives. as he approached me with his pasty white arms hanging out of a Nike vest,his smile told me it was dole day, and I knew my velour track suit would be hanging off the lampshade tonight. As I stood in line at centrelink, thinking up reasons why I can't work, a sweet smell drifted past my pig like nostrils. It was a mixture of weed, sweat and lynx Africa! I turned and there he was

It makes me feel like I’m wanted, and it’s so rare that I actually get excited when it happens. Even when a best friend I’ve known for years texts me saying “Olivia, I need to talk to you,” I get startled. When I raise my hand in class and the teacher picks on

got beer in bottles and in a keg, I got hard alcohol like whiskey, vodka, rum and all the mixers that you need for a good underage drinking party. The party was going great everyone was having a blast! Everyone showed up it was turning out to be the best party of the year. People showed up that we didn’t even invite, so they got charged at the door to cover the cost of the party. As the night went on and it was getting late people were starting to leave, we started to wind down and clean up a little

you ever dreamed of doing something but never thinking it would happen? Have you ever wanted to do a whole list of things but never had the courage to do it? Have you ever woke up every day feeling like you were living a fantasy? Well I did and here’s my story. On April 13, 2014, after being in Panama City Beach for five whole days, it was finally coming to an end.

believe prom is worth it, you’ll get both a yes and a no. This is because each person forms their opinion based on the stereotypes of prom. It may be the cost or it may be getting dressed up and having a “magical night” that forms their definition of prom and it's worth which then helps them make their decision to say yes or no.

When I read through “A Prom divided” I find myself not surprised, sadly. This is something that really shows what the United States is coming to. So many people seem to be worried about what other people are like according to their appearances. They need to stop judging people by their looks and realize that the personality in someone and who they are is all that really matters.

Before joining the Youth Council I was seldom involved in any community service activities outside of my school. I was fortunate enough to find out about the Youth Council through a family member and quickly signed up to volunteer.
