Jeff comes home from school every day and sits on the couch. He either picks up his PS2 controller for the night or finds a marathon on the television. His backpack is always empty and his grades are all C’s or lower. He doesn’t really care about the way he looks and if he actually does something, it is not to his full potential or done correctly.

As I walked into Mr. Fenrick’s classroom, I knew that I was in for a very long afternoon! We had a guest speaker for 5^th, 6^th and 7^th hour. I looked around the classroom and let out a big sigh. Joey was in his normal position…sleeping with a little puddle underneath his face. Jackie had her nose squished into the table of the desk, the noise of her snoring echoed in the room. Mr. Fenrick continued on with his lecture as I took my seat and rested my head on my arm.

Kristine knew that something was bothering her best friend, but she had no idea what it was. She decided to go up to her and talk to her about it. Kristine was very caring and willing to talk and just be there for her best friend. Jess decided that it would be best if she told Kristine what was going on. Kristine completely understood the situation, stayed there and listened the whole time, wiped away the tears on Jess’s face, and gave her some good and useful advice.

Jake was talking to one of his buddies and he started to freak out on them. He was calling them rude, inconsiderate, and careless. His friend, Adam, had no idea where any of this was coming from and so he just stopped talking to Jake and walked away. A few hours later, Jake texted Adam saying he was sorry and that he was just mad at some other stuff. Adam said okay, but please don’t do it again. Then Jake started to freak out again…and the process repeated itself again and again.
