Contrary
to popular belief, the life of a high school student is one laden
with many challenges and sherber sherbers. Unfortunately, it seems
as though adults have lost the ability to remember what it was
like to be young, and in doing so apply a certain pressure that
they
feel is appropriate. Actions with good intentions don't necessarily
derive good results. It creates stress, and in doing so leads to
a rebelling behavior. Where it is a curfew is set at nine, a student
may purposely come home at nine-thirty as a slap to their parent's
face. When reproached, a common excuse is "You said nine. Technically
it still is." In order to bridge the gap between generations, there
must be a mutual understanding that time, as it has done for as
long as its been recorded, is consistently changing. Once this
is achieved, leniency may be produced. This is not to say society
should do away with morals, but try to see that sleeping over isn't
as bad as it seems. Also, jumping to conclusions is one of the
worst things any one person could do. The worse thing you could
do to an innocent person is accuse them. That is to say, don't
automatically assume a couple is having sex. One, it is of no one's
business but their own. Two, if you do, do not do so in a confrontational
manner. Discussions help, arguments don't. - El Negro.
