High School. It really isn't what people or the movies say it is. In the movies, they show it as if it's a bad place, like how in almost all the high school movies, they have a loner, prep, popular, lame, jock, or emo person. Now I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, but I think that they should show how high school really is. To me, high school is a very active place. People are always on the move and over half of them are rude. Most of the people look at you as if you have some kind of problem if they see you walking down the hall, but I think that the biggest thing about high school is that most people aren't who they claim to be. It's like they want to fit in as much as possible because they're afraid that if they don't then people will just think of them as lame. Now the question is... what's wrong with that?

Well, as me being a high schooler, I see alot of this going on everyday and I thought that if I wrote something about how wanting to fit in isn't and shouldn't be your lifes goal, maybe a could help an upcoming high schooler.

High school isn't a bad place...people just make it seem that way. High school is nothing more than junior high, except a little bit more complicated. In my eyes as long as you just be your self, and show your real self...then you'll just be fine. I'm a freshmen in high school and im learning that it'll be just fine as long as you be who you are on the inside.

I am also in High School, and I agree it's not like the movies. To me its just school. I don't feel the need to "fit in." I don't go there to hang out with friends. I go to learn and get an education.
