Popularity Contest

                   We've all seen that typical cliché movie and read that book where the lunch room is split by popularity levels. We see one table with the jocks, Athletes and the other table with cheerleaders and preppy people, the smart, or nerdy people. The emo, gothic people all sit at different tables; It's sad that it has to be like this. It seems like everything now in high school is one big contest, everything from homecoming court to prom king and queen is about who's popular , either way people will feel and be left out.

                   "Mean girls" one of my favorite movies and is a perfect example of pettiness and childishness in high school. For example, gossip and bullying isn't just a girl thing, because guys do it too. Either way, it is hurtful and destroys people's lives physically and emotionally. A perfect high school, in my opinion would be where teachers taught the right way, students learned the right way and everyone had fun and got along. Maybe if high school weren't just one big popularity contest, high school would be great for everyone.

                     Let's challenge ourselves to be accepting of one another!
