This is not simply a yes or no question, but a thesis of the effects of high school on stu- dents. Accepting the reality of growing up and maturing, students often found themselves faced with common teenage mental hangups. When questioned one senior ad- mitted she thought psychological maturity came long after high school, but others disagreed. Many felt by the time they had become seniors they were fully mature for all the responsibilities they had to deal with. A few of the many psychological difficulties some seniors faced in- volved school, home, and societal pressures as well as not meeting the expectations of one's self and others. Friendships seemed to be what at- tracted people to school whether they were scholars or not. I think, remarked senior Maria Korienek, the reason friendships became so important are because we all need someone to share our experiences with, whether good or bad. Home crises affected almost ev- erybody. Divorces and deaths in the family caused a great strain on the mental stability of seniors. Many worried whether or not they had reached the cracking point. Stu- dents often considered seeing a psy- chiatrist or psychologist, but then gave -up the idea by telling them- selves they weren't crazy. However seniors found the expense of going for professional help to be more than they could afford. Seniors also looked for help when dealing with societal pressures of drugs, alcohol, and sexual promiscuity. Perhaps the most difficult prob- lem seniors faced was not meeting the expectations of themselves. The acceptance of reality is an important aspect of life, but for seniors soon to be out in the real world, it was an aspect that had to be met head on. SENIORS 239
