CHATTER —So, what do you think? —Really? Yeah, that's what I thought tool —Hey, who ya talkin’ to? No matter where you are, or where you go, you can hear conversations like this all over. Chatter is a tremendous part of everyone’s life and most people couldn’t get along without it. Take, for instance, those true chatterboxes (names withheld, of course) who go home after an endless day of chatter at school, and immediately hop on the phone to rehash all the gossip or discuss the latest crisis in their lives for hours on end. Something good to talk to might be your pet cat or dog, perhaps even your plants. They listen to you without judging you or giving advice that you probably wouldn’t use anyways. They’re also always there to talk to when you need them. When asked if he’s ever gotten in trouble for chatting”, Mark Gagas claims, I've been kicked out of the library three times for being my usual, loud, obnoxious self» and that’s only in the first three weeks of school!” Kyle Weidman’s reply to what his favorite topic of conversation was, Never mind. I don’t want to be rude!” Most of the voices in the halls come from IS THE BIG people similar to Mark or Kyle who are enjoying their day and sharing a little fun with their friends. In between classes is when the best chatter can be heard, even though you’ve only got four minutes to hear all the gossip or what’s on the test fourth period. Many students rely on their guidance counselors or favorite teacher when they need someone to talk to. They can usually be counted on to give sound advice and help with hard decisions. Mr. Bethel comments, The most rewarding part of my job is working with the students, but a lot of my time is spent on the computer or doing little tasks, and that’s too bad. Next time you’re in the mood to talk, stop and chat with a good friend or someone you like for a few minutes. You’ll make their day, and you might hear the best news you’ve heard all dayl Transportation is a problem for all non-driving stu- dents, some find it necessary to call Mom or Dad for a ride home.
