High School after High School

The song “High School Never Ends,” by Bowling for Soup correlates to how no matter how old you are or how long you have been out of high school the drama never ends and people with continue to criticize each other.

However, what we will all come to find, the reality is that even after you accomplish your four years of high school, all our obsessions with each other and their personal lives will prevail. There will always be someone who’s bigger and better and most of us will hardly change if at all. Although, high school could very well be the best time of your life there’s no denying that drama is persistent, and people are invasive. “Four years you think for sure/ That’s all you’ve got to endure.” I take a look around and don’t understand the never ending obsessions and opinions that are being thrown every which way. Once you graduate you aspire that if you go to college you’ll meet a new matured community, when surely most of your high school class will be there too. Everyone figures that we’ll all stop caring about “who’s best dressed and who’s having sex.” Nevertheless, once high school starts it last longer than four years, because while we think we’ve matured we still talk about the neighbor …show more content…

Audre Lorde’s “Hanging Fire” goes into the thoughts and feelings a teenager may face. Some of these insecurities related to my teenage years, but Lorde’s story is still specific to her and maybe a few others.

When people think about high school students, they may imagine carefree teens who seem to have little to concern themselves with, except for petty drama within their social groups. However, students are pushed with expectations of achieving stellar grades and being accepted into the colleges of their, or their parents’ dreams.

We exhaustingly spent the last month of high school counting down the days until we would look into the sky and lock eyes on caps thrown up in the air. As I sat in class anticipating the bell for lunch, a message from the random boy in my ninth grade science class flashed onto the screen of my phone. I took a glimpse to discern text saying, “In high school, you were still my friend no matter what anyone said about me, and I can’t thank you enough for that,” followed by, “You don’t know how much I felt like giving up.” Suddenly, I became conscious of his urgency to gather supplies for our project in ninth grade, his consistency in seating choices, his large number of absences, and his gradual switch from homemade lunch to school lunch to no lunch at all. At thirteen years old, I held little awareness of how my actions could impact someone’s life.
