What is High School?

What is High School?

BY MADISON JOVANE-FLYNN

This is the cast of the breakfast club all together. From the left to right it’s Bender, Alice, Andy, Clair, and then Bryan.

You eighth graders might have been told that high school is a wonderland. You also might have been told that high school is a hell hole. But in the movie, The Breakfast Club, written by John Hugh’s in 1985. This movie shows the real high school life.

As you have a little group in middle school you might think you’ll be in it forever, but as you get to the high school you might change your personality which then changes your social status.

You might be a pre-teen who’s innocent and has nothing to do with your social life, but as you turn into a real teenager and go into the high school you could turn into a basket case, a criminal, a princess, a smart kid, or an athletic.

As I watched The Breakfast Club, I was looking at the characters. I realized that I’m not an ordinary high school student.

I’m my own clique. I hang out with people who are down to earth, who don’t have much drama, and who don’t judge me by the way I look, but by the way I am.

As I saw in the movie these kids are each in their own little group in a big high school. These kids were different by the way they looked. But when they were forced to go to Saturday detention, they found out that they really are not so different from each other as they thought they were.

The problems that the kids had were what got them to notice that they were not so different after all. The problems got the five kids in Saturday detection together as a new clique.

You eighth graders should not have to go through Saturday detention just to realize that everyone around you is maybe going through the same problems as you. Instead of judging the people by how they look.

You might have been told that high school is a wonderland; you might have been told that high school is a hell whole. It’s just how you interpret it in your eyes. Just don’t make the same mistakes as the kids in The Breakfast Club did.
