" How do you 'classify' ".?

the different cliques and possees are fresh in everyones mind. These categories have been exposed in films such as Mean Girls and American Pie. Classifying yourself into a "clique" is definetly something that goes on at Stephenson High School. I never thought this actually existed in real life, i honestly thought it only happened in movies lol. But I see it everyday. Like at lunch they really do sit amoung the class they fit in. The Cheerleaders sit together at one table, Band dorks at another, and the cocky attractive football players on one end. Theres also the Nerds, gansters, emo, and the rockers who are protrayed as the ones who you can find with Heavy metal and scream music found on their iPods. Then theres me, the girl next door. People actually classify me as a "undercover freak" because im quite, which they say is one of the first signs. I laugh. I actually dont see where i fit in with this whole "stereotype" ordeal. People who label others with high school stereotypes are ignorant and do not understand the concept of individuality. There are actual tests to see where you fit in, like it matters. smh . . But i dont really think everyone just sits there and places people in "categories", i think it just happens and it"ll never end. Its not only happening in just schools. theres Racial and ethnic stereotyping and Sexual Orientation stereotyping with LGBT people. but who can forget about black stereotyping. Stereotypes can have a negative and positive impact on individuals. And unfortunetly, everyone is a victim in this. .

Why Women Cheat.

Most people think men are the main ones cheating, but guess again. Women do it almost as much. For men and women to cheat there has to be a problem in the relationship. Perhaps there is no real commitment. Communication sometimes stops in a relationship and if you and your partner are not communicating the gap gets wider and wider. If there is a lack of interest in each other's daily life, it allows other people to come into their lives with temptations. Sometimes interest begins as simple as the new person actually listens to them or this person understands them. According to the current infidelity statistics 60% of men and 40% of women are involved in an affair. This may come as a complete surprise, but most extramarital affairs are not about sex. Once there is a problem in the relationship bad decisions can occur. i think one reason why women cheat is beacuse theres not enough sex in the relationship. Women want to feel wanted. If you’re not making her feel that way, she could seek it elsewhere. Keep the spark alive. Other reasons are for Revenge, Self-esteem problems, or even Bedroom boredom. To me, Cheating is such ugly business. It never ends well. no matter how it plays out somebody carries the baggage of what happened.

TEEN MARRiAGE.

Why are so many people against teen marriage? its simply because studies show that today, teenage marriages are two to three times more likely to end in divorce than are marriages between people 25 years of age and older. Thats about 66% and is a pretty high divorce rate. Even though way more than half of teen marriages doesnt last, some actually do. In the United States, half of teen marriages will dissolve within fifteen years of the marriage. To me, i think most teens will marry for all the wrong reasons. Of course the teens think that their reasons are all well validated. Pregnancy is a top contender when it comes to why a teen would get married. The teen pregnancy rate is very high in this country. It is estimated that in the United States of America there are 1.3 million babies born out-of-wedlock each year. Another reason i think a teen would consider marriage is to get out of their parents home. they may feel that their parents expect too much from them. Maybe they feel like they have too many responsibilities and they tire of having to answer for them. Maybe the teens hate their jobs and school. Well these just aren't good reasons to get married. Teen marriages take a lot of work to maintain. I suggest if you know someone who is trying to get married at a young age, you tell them to wait till there 20's. Maybe it'll last longer. .
