As we all know High School is the worse time for teens. Most of them anyways. This is one of my favorite topics that I could continue on for the rest of my blogs if I could, but I won't. Riverside highschool is NOT like the high schools you see in tv, where everyone have at least 5 best friends, or where they actually have fun at school. No Riverside is filled with numb hearted boys and girls. I would say men and women but everyone in Riverside is too immuture to be called men or women. I personally think that everyone at Riverside, both boys and girls need a reality check. What we students don't understand is, big butts, big chests, being rich, being popular, won't get you anywhere in life. You see we come to school to ridicule people, we don't come to learn. We come to make fun of the quiet girl in the back of the room who dresses funny. Not once do we think about her story, Not once do we think about what she goes through, NOT ONCE do we think if she's hurting, yet we hurt her more. At Riverside it's all fun and games, our education doesn't matter, even though that's what will get us through life. We come to school trying to look cool, to make people believe that we are rich, that we are popular, When will we decide to take off that stupid mask? When will realize that the opinion of these immuture boys and girls won't matter when you're working a night shift to keep your family fed? When will we realize we will never see these people again? Or are we doing this to cover up the problems in our life? Not to make friends but to make ourselves feel better, but is it working? This is what I mean when I say high school is he worst time for teens. We are trying to find ourselves in a society that won't let us. Girls, are supposed to wear make up to look pretty, we have to be skinny, have big butts, and a big chest just to even be excepted. Boys on the other just need to have good hair, hurtful jokes and the ability to hook up with every girl he sees. Cruel isn't it?  At Riverside guys are cool for getting with 7 girls throughout the school year, but if a girl who texts more than one guy automatically gets a bad reputation. I think we can all agree when we say this isn't fair.. but life's not fair, right?
