What do I want to write about? Well, no offense Mr. Logsdon but I hate to write. I always have. As a result I am not very good at it and I dont spend enough time on it to get better. But if I got to pick what to write about maybe it would be different. Actually I think I would still hate it because as my mom says I dont use enough words to articulate my feelings as anyone who has ever talked to me on the phone would know but maybe what I picked would be interesting enough that I could stay focused and use all the words neccasary to explain what I am trying to say.

So in order to understand how I was supposed to write this blog I read the people who had posted before me. And now I just have tons and tons of ideas but no one substantial winner or a best pick.

In middle school we were writing fiction pieces and many kids wanted to write pieces about space travel or being an olympic athelete but my teacher wouldnt let them. She said we had to write about something we knew. While I found this irritating at the time I think it was some of the best writing advice I have ever gotten. Because of this I pick to write about something I know even though it wouldnt be fiction. Even though it would be way cool to write about African refugees or hospitals, I personally and dont think that anyone really knows very much about that.

So that was one way to narrow my topic ideas down. Something that takes up a lot of my time personally and Im guessing everyone elses is school. We spend at least 8 hours a day there for the majority of the year. School is what can stress us out, it can make us sad or extremely happy depending on the day and the class. But something that is even more important to me then school and the educational aspect are the relationships that are built in and around school.

I used to tell my friends how crazy I thought it was that somebody thought it was a good idea to put 2,000 stressed out, hormonal teenagers together in one building for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I dont think my friends ever really understood what I was talking about so maybe I was just being rediculous but think about it for a second. As a result of being together we form so many relationships. Im not just talking about the classic bf/gf relationships but the relationships with the people we must interact with every day

I would like to write about relationships in high schools. Student to teacher relationships, friend relationships, stranger relationships, strangers becoming friends relationships, friends that are girls with boys, friends that are boys with girls, enemies and fellow teammates. Our days are filled with constant interactions. It would be fascinating and extremly revealing if we could disect and examine the mundaneness of the day to day interactions we have with people we dont even think about. In the process you would learn not only about everyone around you but also yourself, how you personally function as a human high-schooler.
