I have Oak Hollow Mall memorized, and have been to almost every restaurant around the High Point-Greensboro-Winston area. It's not that teenagers are becoming lazy, we're getting tired of going to the movies and bowling every weekend like we've been doing since 2nd grade. I just wish there was somewhere that I could meet other teenagers without having to worry about my friends getting drunk or pregnant but also not feel like I'm in elementary school again. People that don't support a facility either don't know what's really going on in high schools or just don't care and don't want to "waste
Although I go to a school with thousands of students, the fact that I was not able to communicate with anyone via technology was almost unbearable. "Being cut off from the wired world also meant being cut off from news and information -- not that any of them were regularly watching the news on TV, picking up a newspaper, listening to the news on the radio or visiting a news website. One student who failed the assignment and cracked open a laptop during the 24-hour-ban learned about the violent earthquake in Chile from "an informal blog post on Tumblr." Another student suddenly had less information than everyone else about a range of subjects, including sports and news and cultural references. One instructor said that after giving the kids a test, he noticed something.
Too much mindless entertainment is very relevant it today’s world. A new study suggests teenagers who watch several hours of television a day do worse at school and are less likely to graduate than their peers. Therefore, too much television may result in academic failure. Fire chief Beatty tells Montag to see if his stolen books contain anything worthwhile and then burn them. Overwhelmed by the task of reading, Montag looks to his wife for help and support, but she prefers television to her husband’s company and cannot understand why he would want to risk reading books.
Sam “Marshall” Davis What’s the problem with high school students these days? The problem is students today are losing interest to stay in school as study shows 35% kids drop out each day. The problem is happening right now in front of our doors! This problem is very serious, especially for young black males because the majority of them were born and lived in the projects, which was full of negative influence. The problem is still happening because every kid wants to be cool or to fit in, and the only way to do it, is to do drugs or commit crimes with their friends.

There were stories from last year and years back about cyberbullies and how this issue is raising eyebrows due to it being a deathly problem. From what the news or media has talked about it, it is widespread and with all the social media sites online today it is as easy as working from home to bully. When I grew up there was the bully at school, he or she bullied at school, maybe the bus, but after you went home that was it and that was the norm. As a kid you get used to it, the other kid moves on or the both of you grow out of that stage and all is well. Today, however that is not the case and anytime kids and or young teens are dying due to bullying an all out resolution has to be reached.
The first conflict is between the parents and the children. George Hadley, the father, says: “I've taken a few machines from the house and threatened [the children], a month ago, with closing up the nursery unless they did their homework. I did close it for a few days to show I meant business”(109). Although this may not seem to be a major issue to the parents, the children end up killing their parents, because of their over reliance on technology. The author is trying to issue a warning that one can become too reliant on technology, and if it is taken away, one might over-react to the situation.
Valerie Dr. Brister ENG 110 31 October 2011 Where is my #2 and composition book?! Since becoming a student at VCSU just a couple months ago I have seriously questioned not only my intelligence but, my communication skills as well. Numerous times my stress level from having to use the computer in ways I have never even heard of has been incredibly overwhelming. My facebook page has several comments posted by me about the technology these days, and wondering what happened to a number 2 pencil, a notebook, and books. The generation has been called the dumbest; I have been considering myself the dumb one.
And for what, their hair, clothes or appearance? On average 30 percent of children get bullied daily whether it is at home, school, or on the playgrounds and at a local park. An estimated 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack intimidation by other students. If one of those children that were getting bullied were yours would you not want the bullying to be stopped? A major total of 71 percent of children have reported that bullying is a problem at their school and 15 percent of all school absentees are directly related to bullying.
I have seen, first hand, that high school students are becoming desensitized to things that are truly horrible. Today, anyone can turn on the television and watch a celebrity being handcuffed and taken to jail, but two days later, it will be announced that the celebrity had the charges dropped or something to that extent. It gives high school students the impression that because you are famous or wealthy, the consequences of your actions do not apply. This false sense of security leads many of those students try things like shoplifting or driving under the influence.
