Students, of all grades in high school are usually allowed to attend this function whether they went to prom or not. Finally, the drive an individual feels to have a date is extremely different for both dances. For homecoming students can attend with a date, friends, or alone and feel comfortable; however, at prom one feels the need to have a date because the hype for prom is much greater than that of homecoming. Prom is more important to students because they will carry the memories made that night for the rest of their lives. Likewise, both functions are equally alike, but what sets them apart is what makes each dance their own.
How Alcohol Affects the Central Nervous System Alcohol can affect several parts of the brain, but in general, alcohol contracts brain tissue and depresses the central nervous system. When alcohol reaches the brain, it interferes with communication between nerve cells, by interacting with the receptors on some cells.

Enhancing an inhibitor has the effect of making a person sluggish.
It all just depends on what kind of personality you have and what you want to do with your life. To start out with, Partying is a popular reason among most students to go to college. Personally, I am not the partying type of person, but occasionally I will go out some nights and have a blast with my friend’s. I have been given the talk multiple times by my parents of the crazy situations you will get yourself in if you do not how to control yourself, and limit yourself to the amount of partying and drinking you can do in one night. I have learned to observe other people and even my own family that if you cannot control how much you drink at one sitting you should not be drinking alcohol.
This can be linked to negative stereotypes about these races. For example a negative stereotype about black people is that we steal, so in stores a black person who may walk into a swank and higher price store might have a good chance of being followed around by a store employee because the employee thinks they are going to steal the clothes while someone who is white can use their white privilege to openly shop and not have someone follow them around. This is an example of Oppression. An
But one problem seemed to remain in society, racism. Although segregation thrived through Jim Crow Laws, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X both fought hard against it. In the 1960s, the way of life was different for people with different colors of skin. There were separate bathrooms, separate restaurants, drinking fountains, and churches for black people. Restaurants had a Jim Crow law, that stated, "It shall be unlawful to conduct a restaurant or other place for the serving of food in the city, at which white and colored people are served in the same room, unless such white and colored persons are effectively separated by a solid partition extending from the floor upward to a distance of seven feet or higher, and unless a separate entrance from the street is provided for each compartment.” Black people were also forced to use different barbers, nurses and jail
Some teams will meet at a player’s house and spend time bonding together as a team. This initially helps the team prepare for the game tomorrow. I believe this is the biggest ritual that they do the day before the game. This brings the team together before the game so they act like a team.

There are also many reasons why teenagers may take drugs. To relax, to experiment, because of peer pressure, to rebel, to escape from reality, to celebrate, and many others. Because of the many reasons why teenagers use drugs there are also many risks, such as: overdose on many types of drugs such as heroin where the person slips into a coma and dies, also if the user is sharing needles with another person they are far more likely to become infected with HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

As it turns out that night and the wonder of going to my first concert was one of the most inspiring moments of my life. After waking up the morning after the show it seemed I couldn’t satisfy my lust for music. I started finding ways to listen to music whenever I could. Even during the short 3 block walk to school I had to have my walkman. For my ninth birthday all I asked for was more music.
