After reviewing some of the pictures from the homecoming dance, I realized something. In the halls I always hear females talking about how guys don’t respect them and treat them like a piece of meat. No wonder. I never personally knew that females could do so many sex positions in high heels and tight dresses while dancing.
I’m sick and tired of people judging girls in general at Everett, as “Bops”. When pictures like the Homecoming ones come into light, it makes all the females at Everett look bad. Our schools …

There are people who want to do something with their lives, then there are those that think there is no point in trying to get an education.
Students should come to school and try hard to be successful.  If they do not do this, they are just wasting everybody’s time.
Many students claim that they do not try to get good grades because it is too difficult. They would rather drop out instead of doing things to motivate themselves to do well in school.
School and education should be part of your life.  …

Imagine a student is on their way to class and one of their “friends” asks them to skip class to hang out or maybe even do drugs. Maybe you ask yourself how much you really care about your education? Look in the hallways during first hour, you are sure to see underclassmen wandering about and fooling around when they should be in class.  They do not seem to care about the hall sweeps held before fifth and sixth hour. Obviously, underclassmen do not care about their education. By the time …

With the start of the new semester, students are again faced with the challenge of getting to class on time. As I can tell, the majority of students do not have a problem. However, there is a small population of students who, for one reason or another, have a hard time avoiding tardies.
Students are expected to make it to classes and to be on time. Still, over the past few years, I have observed a connection between poor academic performance and students who are consistently tardy or who skip classes …

Teen violence is a problem in our society, whether it’s bullying, jumping, fighting one on one, or even shooting. Violence can be verbal or physical and ends in hurt feelings or bodily harm. When teenagers are involved in such behavior, it makes them look bad.
In the last month there have been at least two shootings in the Lansing area that ended in the death of two young men. This type of event happens all the time in our city and is negatively affecting the lives of teenagers and their families. …

“He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.” – Raymond Hull
From what this Canadian play director stated in the early 1900’s, this quote should speak to everyone here at Everett High School and beyond. But specifically as for highschoolers, life can become pretty hectic at times because of the demand from parents, teachers and dear friends. Learning to make decisions based on what would be best is more important than depending on what someone else says about their view on the future.
For instance, the year is …

It seems that the latest fad among some young girls is to lock lips with another girl in order to thrill guys and fulfill their fantasies. The latest copy of Vogue magazine was packed with winter’s hottest trends, the latest gifts and countless pages of designer ads. But in the real world, faux lesbianism is in vogue.
Lipstick-lesbianism, bar-sexuals and LUGs (Lesbians Until Graduation) are rapidly growing in society. According to the online magazine, Salon.com girls are making out with each other, because they think guys like it. It has become …

As students walk to class in the morning, they are greeted with empty milk cartons and pop tart wrappers all over the hallways.
During the morning announcements, principal Howard Cousins and student Brittney Edwards remind students about the issue with trash from breakfast in the hallways and stairways many times. But the trend of trash on the floors has not changed.
School buildings are public property; just the simple act of throwing a piece of paper on the floor falls in the categories of littering, defacement, and even vandalism.
Some students have stated …
