Transcripts, From A Teen’s Perspective

by Sam P. April 4th, 2014| Teen Perspective, Teens
Being in high school you are allowed much more free rein in course selection. Back in middle school our classes were chosen for us. However, in high school we can choose what courses we want to take. From wood shop to cooking to drawing, there's a lot to choose

by Jacob P. March 28th, 2014| Social, Teen Perspective, Teens
As a soon to be graduating high school senior, I have a list of things that I wish I had more readily taken advantage of during high school.  While there is a great variety of things on said list, one of the biggest ones is having been more social

by Sam P. March 21st, 2014| Safety, Teen Perspective, Teens
There's no point in beating around the bush, most teens nowadays are sexually active.  Teen pregnancy rates definitely have gone down over the years, but not enough.  Teens are still getting pregnant and their futures are typically crushed, and usually if the child isn't given up for adoption they

Supporting Your Siblings: A Teen’s Perspective

by Sam P. March 7th, 2014| Teen Perspective, Teens
As much as we hate them, we love them to death.  At times we take them for granted though.  I think we forget how much it means to them when we support them.  I mean I hate it when I have an important event and my brother decides to

Homework: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. February 28th, 2014| School, Teen Perspective, Teens
Let's be honest, nobody has ever enjoyed doing homework.  No matter how much you may enjoy school, learning, or doing work, homework is the devil's invention.  Thus, as a high school senior, I find myself unsure about the actual value of it.  I know this may partially be due

Parents, Too Difficult to Deal With?

by Sam P. February 21st, 2014| Behavior, Teen Perspective, Teens
As teens, our behavior isn't always the best.  Whether you are having a teensy argument with a parent, or a full-blown war between the two of you, your parent is still your elder and respect is necessary.  Oftentimes, parents will deem some sort of punishment necessary, and if your

Losing: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. January 24th, 2014| Behavior, Teen Perspective, Teens
Nobody enjoys losing.  Anyone who tells you that "they don't mind losing" or "I like seeing other people win" is lying to you -- and themselves a little bit.  Let's be honest, losing is horrible.  Whether it is in sports, school, or other activities, losing competitions sucks.  The challenge

Safe Relationships

by Sam P. January 17th, 2014| Safety, Teen Perspective, Teens
As teens it may often feel like society pressures us into relationships. But as a teen I completely understand that we don't always want a relationship. We see intimacy and couples all around us and oftentimes it is easy to give into the pressure and start dating. And as

Grades are Rigged: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. January 10th, 2014| School, Teen Perspective, Teens
No, I'm not here to profess some conspiracy theory about how the educational system is rigged to help some students more than others.  Rather, I'm saying that the system is rigged for all students.  Grade inflation is rampant throughout the school systems in the U.S.
