Gra nger High School
Tri-Color Times an open forum for student opinion and expression
There’s no elevator Welcome to Granger High School! Home of the Lancers! This high school is full of fun stuff! Granger houses many different groups to choose from. There are the Jocks, who are so popular and cool. Then there are the Outsiders, who can’t stand anyone. There are the Cheerleaders, who are also cool and hang out with the Jocks, all the time. There are the nerds who compare their grades and play D&D. There are the Bullies who pick on the Nerds. The Quarterback dates the Head Cheerleader, the Jocks host parties every other week and high is just easy and fun all the time! Actually, none of this is true. Once sophomores start high school, they will have a serious reality check. High school isn’t everything that the movies make it out to be. There is no actual “groups.” Everyone just hangs out with a lot a different people.

Everyone pretty much is accepting of everyone else. Sire everyone naturally sits with people who are like them at lunch. but no one is too “popular” for someone else. Since there arn’t really segregated groups, there is no single school “bully.” There are fights in school, but not because one wanted the other’s lunch money. There is no one person who is the most popular person. No one at our school is labeled as the “one and only.” Parties do not happen every week. Parties rarely happen and if they do they are secretive and exclusive. There are no flyers that go around saying “Party at so and so’s house!” So, don’t get your hopes up. Well these are all the myths that I’ve exposed so far, but you will discover other high school myths that are, just that myths. What high school really is about are us preparing

ourselves for the future. As long as you know that, you can deal with most of the drama that a teenager filled high school brings.
Are you a texting addict? Texting can be fun. It can also get you in a lot of trouble. In some states if you text during class and get caught they would get suspended and if it happens a second time, Expelled. You’re probably thinking it’s not fair they can have their phones. They just don’t understand. Whine all you want it’s still not going to get you anywhere. If someone is texting while your talking does it bother you? Teachers just want your full attention when they are speaking to you, when your texting do you think they are getting it. Some consider a cell phone a toy. There are pluses about it but you have to make sure you watch what’s going on. here are some of the DO’S and DON’T’s Of Texting • Don’t text in Mr. Carlisle’s class he will smash your phone • If you have a question about an assignment you can ask • Don’t send naughty pictures of your self to anyone. It’s a felony it will go on your permanent record. • Parents can reach you or you can reach them • Don’t text during texts • Coaches like to get a hold of there players over text. • Don’t argue over texts, if you have a problem with someone work it out in person. • It’s entertaining on a bored day • Don’t always be glued in to your phone you’ll never learn that way the other person can wait. • A way to keep in contact with friends or family members move.
