Those kinds of ideas can lead them to serious consequences. Those consequences can include: getting caught, losing tuition, and getting kicked out of college. Getting caught may not be an issue, if they are in high school, but in college it can be an issue. Explaining themselves to the professor and classmates can be quite embarrassing. Their classmates may not find it okay for them to get good grades while they do nothing, while the classmates study hard and long to get the grades that they do.
Even if a teen has never considered doing drugs they might do it just to fit in with their friends. Music and television may also encourage teens to do drugs today. Many songs and shows give the impression that drugs are fun and considered cool. Other teens do drugs to relive stress. Teens who are depressed are more susceptible to using drugs.
But others, particularly such highly competitive schools as Stanford and UCLA, value the essay for providing extra insight into students' abilities as well as a cross-check on the veracity of other application materials, Lucido and other experts said. In addition to the SAT essay, which often prompts writers to explore a sociological or philosophical question, many schools require autobiographical compositions in the online Common Application ("Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you?"). In addition, some campuses require supplemental essays that attempt to learn whether the student would be a good fit for that particular school. Questions may be raised about assistance from parents or paid coaches if students submit an elegant autobiographical statement with their applications but score poorly on the proctored SAT essay, they said.
Gamblers Go All-in On Ritalin The scientists have recently produced a new kind drug that increases the brains memory capacity. College students occasionally rely on these drugs to cram before examinations. Later, the scientists found out that the drug itself causes some negative consequences similar to cocaine and amphetamines. They increase the risk behaviors of the drug taker. The use of this kind of drug is not restricted to illegal drug us or gambling but it depends on a person’s decision making process whether they consumes it or not.
In the past it was the struggling student who was more likely to cheat just to get by, but today it is also the above-average college bound students who are cheating. Increased pressure to succeed has made students more willing to do whatever it takes to get the A. College freshman, Collen Wenke, in her essay “Too Much Pressure”, argues that cheating in college and especially high school has become a more prevalent issue in today’s culture and society. Wenke’s purpose is to explore the effects of this problem on our present world. She employs a combination of a quizzical and contemplative tone to appeal to readers and to connect to their feelings and experiences.

It is not classified as a one night stand, but a way of socializing and finding a suitable romantic partner. In order to reduce the amount of sexual assault and the over-accumulation of alcohol, educators must acquire new methods that acknowledge their effects on the hookup culture and enforce stricter rules. Bogle suggests that, “Most sexual assaults no longer take the form of a typical date-rape scenario.” In fact, the majority of sexual assaults take place in the midst of a college party or the hours following. These sexual assaults can be related to alcohol because students in turn become heavily drunk and their perception is impaired. If educators recognized the correlation between sexual assaults and hookup culture, there would be enormous increase in awareness of alcohol intake.
Is This Education or Just a Game? “To a professor, education is like constructing a building, with each brick of knowledge resting on prior bricks. But to most students, it is more like a sport. Students prepare feverishly for each match (exam), taking away their points and their standing (grade) and little else” says Walter R. Tschinkel in his article titled “Is This Education or Just a Game?” In this current event article Tschinkel discusses on the fact that majority of college students remember nothing from their previous courses, or even from their previous exams. Tschinkel is a professor of biological science at Florida State University; he explains “Rarely can a student give a coherent explanation of simple principles learned in middle or high school, much less in college”.
Another issue with the lack of tests and being able to procure these drugs so easily is the large and overwhelming issue of misuse. Some kids and young adults mainly in the late years of high school and early years of college can fake ADD, ADHD, and Bipolar disorder to obtain the prescription drugs and use them for other reasons such as selling them, or taking for other reasons than prescribed. Students tend to be on tight budgets especially in college, and can take advantage of the lack of tests and being able to obtain it so easily by taking the medications prescribed and selling them to classmates and others for a good amount of money. Some students also use the pills to get stuff done, and be able to pull “All Nighters” to finish assignments. These medications are in high demand for the desirable effects they have on the body, like helping you to sleep
Fake Energy and the Mind “Artificial energy usage for you is quite good for one, especially a student.” Anita Mann, college student (Mann). How often do you have to cram hard all night after work just to get up early and take a hard test? You’re tired and will most likely do poorly on the test, regardless of your studying. As students, we know that we need extra energy and an artificial booster may be the way to do it. They say that artificial energy boosters can be good and bad for the body; I say they are good.
