I don't want a debate here, I'm just saying teens who can't vote need to stop posting on facebook how mad they are about the election and who won. Most of the time they are uneducated about what the canidate is going to do and only want them to win due to their parents influence. Which brings me into my topic today.
             We need to get some thinking of our own. Teens have no common sense anymore and they don't think outside the box. It's all conformity. That's something the "experts" got spot on. In school we have to dress like everyone else, talk like everyone else, and look like everyone else. All the "fads" are made due to conformity. And this is what impacts our education.
             Kids who are very intelligent pretend to be dumb and fail a test on purpose just o fit in with their friends. This isn't right. So when people are saying what's wrong with education and teaching styles? Most of the time the answer is the kids know the stuff, they are smart, but conformity forces them not to show it.
               So if you're a teen reading this, it's okay to get good grades and be smart. It would be better for you. After high school when you apply to college and they don't accept you because you didn't get good grades you will wish you didn't sink into the conformity. Be your own person! Who cares about what anyone thinks. You have a future and you need to think about it. If you are an adult reading this with kids of your own, I enourage you to talk to your kid and let them know how important grades are and let them know you are there to help. Don't push them. Don't say you NEED to get good grades, just let them know you are there for them.
