I am a freshman in high school, and although it is only my first year, I've already got a pretty good idea on how most things go. High school life is a little more difficult than I had imagined. Keeping your grades up there is pretty tough for some people. Not just the work and the tests make it difficult to keep your grades but also everything that goes on outside of school.
Some kids have a pretty tough time.
When I first came to high school I never realized just how many kids were into drinking and doing drugs. I never realized how many problems kids actually have. Some people I would never expect things from, such as them doing drugs or drinking were the worse ones, and the ones who you would think were all into that stuff, had never even tried it. That night just goes to prove the point that you can't judge people by the way they dress or look. After the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado, a lot of people were scared about coming back to school, including myself.
