Woodridge High School: A Short Story
It all started in August, when I moved to Woodridge High School. I was fourteen years old when I moved to Seattle, Washington, I had transferred from New York City because my mother had fell in love with a rich man who lived out here and I am being forced to live in Seattle too. Yesterday was first day at Woodridge high school, the people here are not much different from the people in New York, rich and snobby, with a few exception, I was one of those exceptions in New York, but now everyone likes me, I have money and can afford things I could not before. There was one guy, Derek who was being extra kind and nice around me, I had a feeling, a feeling something would happen. The next day, Derek asked me out on a date, at first I was not sure …show more content…
More jokes came and so did more. I was the school joke, I had zero friends, not a single one. I ate lunch in the bathroom sitting on the toilet with my feet up so people walking in and out could not see, although I think they all knew considering I was sobbing, as quiet as I could at least. I was surprised no one made fun of me in the bathroom, I decided to start eating lunch there. About three months had gone by of Derek and his passi bullying me. Then just as I thought I could not handle it any longer, a girl named Nadia told Principal Cucker about the bullying I was suffering, the principal called Derek and I to the office and will Principal Cucker asked Derek if he was doing it, he denied, and when she did not believe him she brought in his passi, and took Derek out of the room, and when they denied too, Principal Cucker threatened to give them all suspensions, and at that point all of the boys, replied “Yes, it has been going on for over three months, and us boys also admit we had part.” Principal Cucker expelled Derek from Woodridge High School for bullying and denying what he had done. The boys were suspended for a week for the bullying, but were not expelled because they told the

    PHOENIX, N.Y. — Football coaches and school administrators at John C. Birdlebough High School congregated in a small room off the library Monday, huddling around a computer for a most painful and unusual review of game video. They examined every play that one student was involved in, assuming the role of medical examiners.They were trying to discern which collision of the hundreds in a football game at Homer High School on Friday night might have caused Ridge Barden, a 16-year-old defensive tackle, to fall to the turf in the third quarter and die within a few hours. The coroner attributed Barden’s death to a subdural hematoma, or a brain bleed.…

    Everyone is bullied at some point, but the bullying August went through was cruel. It began with calling him names, such as “monster”, “rat boy”, “freak”(p.139), and so on. It advanced to Julian leaving notes in August and his friend’s, Jack Will, lockers. At the end of the year, Mr. Tushman, the middle school director, had told him he “wished he and Jack would have came to him about the notes”(p.473). Even though teachers are supposed to be mature, it doesn’t mean they always act that way. They didn’t mean to be rude, and August knew that, but it bothered him even when they would stare or hesitate for “a millionth of a second”(p.75). Bullying like this, especially for kid as young as August, can…

    Does the decision of a principal to prohibit the publishing of certain articles,which he believes we're inappropriate, in the school newspaper violate the student journalists’ First Amendment right of freedom of speech? This issue was discussed after a student named Catherine Kuhlmeier in Hazelwood East High school in St.Louis County, Missouri was enrolled in a journalism class II in which she was writing a newspaper known as “The Spectrum”with other students. Two of those articles contained a story of parents being divorced and a story of a teenage pregnancy. The divorce article was a personal issue in which a girl blamed her father for his actions in leading towards her parents' divorce. The teenage pregnancy story stated her experiences…

    Growing up my mom has always encouraged my siblings and I to continue our education to as far as college. My mother never really got the chance to attend college because her family could not afford to put all their kids in school. She had seven siblings and an extra bill for school was not something her parents were able to afford. I consider myself really lucky to be alive in a time where there are so many opportunities to be able to afford college. If it were not for scholarships and financial aid, my mother’s story would be repeated once again. Through financial aid, the door for a college career is opened for me and I’m willing to enter it. My biggest motivator to push myself academically has been my…

    For the past two years, on the 1st Monday of the month I have participated in Site Council meetings at my high school along with other Associated Study Body (ASB) members, our principal, school administrators, parents, and teachers. Frequently it was brought up that minorities were not as involved in our school as majority groups. ASB has always been dominated by white students and as a Latina, I found it very intimidating when I joined.…

    “Skrt skrt!” The brand new 2003 minivan door slowly slid closed as my mom held my hand. My first day of kindergarten started walking through the rocky terrain up to Jacobson Elementary School on a hot, summer morning. Prepared with my lunch box full of goodies and plaid backpack weighing me down, I walked through the gates to the kindergarten playground. My mom helped me find the girl I met on “Meet the Teacher Night” and stayed close by as we played in the ant-infested, wood chip playground. Then suddenly, in the middle of making a wood chip pancake, the bell rang as if it was taunting me, I knew what was about to happen and so did my mother as I watched her face droop more and more as the bell rang it’s three chimes. My mom walked with me to the wall my teacher designated as the wall to line up on. My hand started to constrict around my mother’s as we approached the wall, as we got closer my knuckles began to turn white. My teacher, Mrs. Priest, announced it was time for the parents to leave.…

    The teachers see the school as “bully-free” because their soft eyes refuse to see the brutality of some kids and the fragility of others. My teachers would never suspect I cork my emotions into a glass bottle with the word caution smeared across the front. To them I haven’t a care in the world. They refuse to believe that I am alone, or that I’m not as smart as they may expect, or that I care about being these things. They ignore the years I’ve spent alone. They don’t know that I squeeze myself into the lunch table, between two groups of friends. I don’t have any “friends.” I only have a few people who tolerate…

    I have been a student at Macomb Community College for a year, over my academic career here I have learned a lot more than I thought possible. Before I started at Macomb I had already been through two other colleges, but for academic reasons I left those schools. When I finally got to Macomb I had to register for an English class, in which I just happened to get you as my teacher. I thought the class was going to be extremely easy because it was online, and honestly, I thought that I was pretty good at English. As I went through the class I never really paid attention to all the good tips and skills that you were teaching, I just wrote on the topic as I was told. I never practiced on my punctuations, run-on sentences, or even the development…
