High School is not the same as movies and tv portray it. It is far more unique and complicated. Even though in the media it’s often dramatized, High School is way more difficult in reality. Even though there are problems and cliches, there isn’t always a happy ending. There are problems people have to deal with far deeper than any media can portray. High School is social as much as it is academic. The social skills developed in high school will remain a huge part of adults’ lives. Building relationships and working together. Learning through not only school projects but also human interactions. It’s important to build these things before getting into the world on your own. One of the most important parts of High School is spending time with other people outside of school and learning to maintain friendships. It’s these activities shape the rest of the lives of the teens. People are who they are based on experiences, good or bad.
High School is also about time management. Learning to balance school work and activities with social things outside of school. Whether that’s sports and academics or spending time with friends.
