Lasting Friendships, Necessities To All Life Without Friends 15 Lonely: Life With Friends Has Its Rewards Friendship is a necessity for all of us. Love and trust are two important ingredients in friendship. A true friend is al- ways there in times of good as well as bad. We should treat friendship like our best sweater, because once it starts to ravel, it is lost forever. Students become closer through struggles and success in academics and school activities. Freshmen Tammy McCarley stated, ttBeing in geometry and participating in sports was hard, but through friends I received help in understanding geometry and have learned new techniques in different sports. With the support of my friends I was capable of achieving much during the year. Small get-togethers, dances, movies, going to the mall, sports events and bowling, brought together friends to '1 5:35? v ; th'i :01! share secrets, laugh together and have good times. uWhile bowling you could watch your friends make total fools of themselves by getting constant gutters, hav- ing the ball get stuck on their thumb and doing a dive into the bowling alley, or having the ball fly off your fingers and go straight up! commented freshman Mendi Epperhart. UGoing out with my friends, allows me to relax and have fun, stated eighth grader Angie Wojcik. Friends didn't always just have fun. They supported each other through hard times, trusted each other with confidential information, and helped each other strive for their goals. Freshman Dave Hamilton stated, uFriendship gives me a chance to share my feelings with someone special.

Just say no ! Mr. Cothem explains to students the harmful effects of smoking. Peer Pressure! Does It Have a Hold On You? Peer pressure e IPir presh'eri n.a. compelling force or influence on a group of people of the same social back- ground. Peer pressure has gained a reputation for being the neg- ative force which leads thousands of teenagers to drugs and alcohol each day. In the fall, Mr. and Mrs. Reagan held a campaign against drug abuse. As each day passed, more and more celebri- ties joined in their fight. Now more than ever, teenagers learn that drugs arenIt their friends, they're their enemies. Peer pressure also has a positive side when it comes to drugs, because students could influence others not to take drugs or drink. Iilf I was at a party and no one was drinking, I woulant feel dumb, because I woulan feel obligated to drink? stated seventh grader Danielle Casey. Through all the good and bad, there is a lighter side to peer pressure. For instance, the way people dressed in- fluenced the rest of the crowd. uShopping at the Limited makes me feel like Pm keep- ing up with the latest trends! , expressed seventh grader Leslie Shapiro. Some students were not persuaded by others though, they went their own way when it came to style. ii1 donIt really think that my friends influence my style because I dress for me not for anybody eIsefI commented Freshman Mike Dushane. Although peer pressure couldnit be avoided, students learned how to cope with it, discovering that what counts in a person is their personality, not what they did to be Iicool.
