Filed under Opinion
During high school our stress seems to rise dramatically, and in my opinion seems to correlate with increase of activities.

Anxiety is on the rise in teens and it’s adults fault. It’s not from lack of caring or because they purposely hurt us. It’s because they protect us too much. Growing up means getting hurt and learning from it. Whether it is a, restricting our information or letting us stay home when we “don’t...

While the idea behind the tardy sweep might be great, the format could use a little more work. Instead of having the sweep immediately after the tardy bell, students should have a minor grace period.

As a new student to Conroe ISD my experience on Fridays with music being played during normally mundane, passing periods, it caused something in my brain to click.
