Getting Through High School

Maturity and rationalization is not yet achieved or experienced by teenagers. In the era of technology there are several distractions for drivers of any age to maneuver. Parents can play an educational role by enrolling their teen into a driver’s educational program. Some states require students to complete a comprehensive graduated drivers licensing (GDL) program prior to receiving their license. The brain function is still developing in teenagers and may impede the quick thinking process necessary to become a responsible driver. For the safety and welfare of teenagers the age requirement in Arizona for a driver’s license should be increased from 16 to 18 years of age.

Surviving high school is no easy task. From the very first day of class, students are forced to find comradery in various social circles. These cliques can range from sports jocks, to math and band geeks, to school club members, and to the social outcasts who could care less about school. While there are more various types of groups, the most common are the jocks and the nerds. As far as everybody in the school in concerned, the popular athletes and the “wimpy” nerds are from two very different planets. However, while there are a lot of differences between the two as far as physical appearance goes, I had the honor of being part of both worlds, and I know for a fact that they have more in common than either would care to admit.

Some suggestions have been to increase the driving age to twenty-one and older, however, the lack of experience would be heightened with a possible increase of driving under the influence since the legal drinking age is twenty-one. Therefore, instead of raising the driving age why doesn’t the state, or even community create a mandatory Driver’s Ed class, one for learning about driving and another for actually driving. This is due to the idea that teens are more likely to see the errors of their classmates and not want to make the same mistake, or see what to do in certain situations that a teen might not know about. For example, the majority of teens aren’t actually taught about what to do in case one's car starts hydroplaning, which is crucial for not only the driver but anyone around them on the road safety. This is due to how the cars wheels have no traction on the ground and if they accelerate, or brake they could lose control of their car even more so than they already had. Thus, providing a mandatory class for graduation for students aged sixteen through nineteen will give them the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge, so that they have a decreased chance of being involved in an

However, their argument would be invalid considering that students’ grades/ intelligence level and their driving skills don’t have anything to do with the other. If students are getting good grades in school it doesn’t necessarily mean that their driving skills are going to be equal with the intelligence level. Besides, in an article it reads that, “The mean grade point average for female high school graduates was 3.10 in 2009, .33 higher than the average GPA for young women in 1990. The average GPA for male high school graduates over the same period rose .31 points to 2.90.” and that, “Some say this means American high schools are churning out smarter, harder-working students.”( U.S. News). This evidence proves that the policy that students should have good grades before they can receive their license is unnecessary because students are already doing better grade wise. I can’t say myself for a fact that teens

The state lawmaking body ought not pass a bill that would require a man to win a secondary school confirmation before he or she could get a driver's permit because of the way that it is a disadvantage. Folks would need to drive kids more places and the children would take more time to grow up.

Many people struggle in high school. I’m doing alright, and I’ll tell you why. I’ve decided to focus my essay on what steps and tactics I used to have a good high school experience, things that I also plan to use in college. I’ll sum it all up in 5 steps too. If you think I deserve a scholarship, hey I’ll take it. If not, life goes on.

Throughout my high school career I have had many ups and many downs.  High School by far has been the biggest challenge I’ve ever had to overcome.  Freshman year and sophomore year were my easiest years academic wise but my junior and senior years have been very challenging.  But while facing these challenges I have learned many things that may be helpful for those future seniors who are trying to get through high school.

Junior year; considered the most difficult year of high school. Junior year wants to make senior year as relaxing and stress free as possible. Part of this preparation: community service and then writing a paper and making a presentation surrounding that service. Kennedy calls this project the integrated service learning (ISLE) project. For my ISLE project, I built houses in New Orleans through Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization. I found that when hurricane Katrina and the Levis broke it left a tremendous amount left in its wake. Since the trip would knock all my service hours out in a week and I became interested in the project I went and worked on houses and learned a great deal culture and poverty

Every day teens are given access to automobiles. Every day these young people go to their jobs, classes, and athletic practices. Do they all abuse their driving privileges? No. Then why restrict all teens, including the law-abiding and mature, by raising the driving age? This debate reaches all across the nation, to all levels of government, and many related laws and propositions can be found. If the driving age is increased, teenagers will have more difficulty getting jobs and gaining experience. On the other hand, if the driving age is 18, new drivers will have more maturity. So the question remains, should the legal driving age be 18 years old? No, the current driving age

Do you really want to be stuck at home until you’re 18 doing nothing with your free time while your parents are gone? Don’t you want to be able to roam around places and probably take extracurricular activities on your own time and hang with friends too? Being able to drive is what many children in our society think about these days. When many teenagers reach the age of 15 ½ they are allowed to officially take their permit test to receive their permit for driving with an adult. After they have officially turned 16 they may take the behind-the wheel driving exam for a driver’s license, but the USA plans to change the driving age from 16 to 18. This idea seems to be a mistake seen in many ways. I believe that they shouldn’t change the

People should have a high school diploma before they get a driver's licences for two reasons they are, some people are too immature to be handling a driver's license, some people who do have a driver's licence but no car sometimes don’t really have enough education about how to drive cars, but for a counter claim ;however, Most people would learn at a younger and better age to drive than those who learn to old and have some difficulties remembering.

High school is one of the most important years of a person’s life because you learn the major responsibilities that are in life. Driving being within the top responsibilities. My state legislature is considering raising the minimum driving age from 16 to 18. I disagree with this decision. There are many reasons why high school students need their license as early as the age of 16.

Getting your driver’s license is a coming-of-age time in a person’s life. It is taking another step to becoming an adult. In the article, they suggested that grades and attendance could make or break your privilege to drive on and off campus.

How would teenagers react to a law that states that one must receive a high school diploma in order to obtain a driver’s license? I, for one, would not be a jolly camper, as I rely on the ability to drive for functions similar to school or work. I also see countless young adults would oppose this law for the same reasons. In this essay, I will dive into the effects of this law, including the hidden obscurities that would have those effects tied to them.

     I understand getting a license is difficult, but in the end everything you go through is worth it. The driver will have more experience, more time to learn, and the driver will learn to drive with others as well as driving on your own. So I think that establishment of graduated licenseing is a good thing for teenagers and for society. When you take your
