Back, Back, Back It Up Go shawty, it’s your birthday. We gonna party like it’s your bir-...wait, where’s the party at? | Rochelle Mascey | Protraits Editor Name
| Kaniesha Bray | Staff Reporter Teens seem to be taking over the back of the bus. It’s easier to get away with things when there is no adult supervision and that’s exactly why teens feel the need to rush the back of the bus. “No offense, but there be some loud people talking all types of mess on the back of the bus, I see people bumping their headphones, girls getting hit on, random people’s phone conversations, people getting a deal on bud, crazy people talking to themselves, shoot I see A LOT,” senior Briona Harrington said. You can say what you want and basically do what you want the further away from the bus driver you are. So much goes on in the back of the bus, but why pass up every seat and go directly to the back? It’s almost as if people scurry to the back of the bus because they’re hiding something or feel like that’s where they belong. No one wants to be put in a place where they don’t feel like they belong. I sit in the back of the bus most of my bus rides because you never really have to worry about being cramped next to someone who smells bad or someone who is overly sized squeezed into a two seater. In the back of the bus it seems to be more spacious.
Why do you sit in the back of the bus? “It’s comfortable, no weirdos talk to me, the CUTIES be back there; I feel like the front section of the bus should be reserved for the elderly so they can see,” senior Kayla Miller said. “Usually the smelly people sit in the front,” junior Hollis Thornton said. “And just like why people like the back of a party bus IT CRACKS.” In many ways the back of the bus is so much different than the front of the bus. Most of the time depending on the bus you get on is what type of people you run into in the back. If you were to hop on the 106 bus to the city in the back of the bus you will see a copious amount of African American kids, and if you were to catch the 240 bus to Bellevue in the back of the bus you will see a lot of Asians and Caucasians. In fact, race is no longer the issue anymore. “I sit in the back because it’s the human need for something dangerous, exciting, and different,” junior Erin Welker said. “The back of the bus is like the heart of Compton, you know it’s bad but you just keep going back.”
