Basic Information about Senioritis

Senioritis is more then just not doing homework and assignments in school. It is a huge problem across America that many teens cope with in their everyday lives. Senioritis can and cannot be prevented or caused, it is really up to the student to achieve his or her goals in life or not. This problem happens to most teens, but is a common feeling at the same time. Senioritis is senior students looking to have fun during their last year of high school, but forgetting their priorities and academic work at the same time. As I was stating in my other blogs, senioritis can be prevented by getting yourself into academic programs, sports, after school activities, and community service work. There is always more advantages out there in the world to keep yourself occupied and on track in school, we just have to reach for it. As far as becoming a senioritis and the side affects to it, it is really the students opinion to change his or her ways when they notice they are becoming a senioritis. Some and most students dont realize that they are slacking off in school and dont know that they are jepordizing their chances of graduating with a high school diploma or even getting into the colleges they wish to attend. Sometimes it isnt even the students fault for putting school their last priority. Sometimes students deal with emotional issues in their life and don't have help or any support on their problems. Then they suddenly drop out of school or skip classes everyday and not do their work. It is always the best choice to talk to someone or a counselor or even attend any meetings associating with your personal problems if you dont like to talk about it. You can also read books and learn many ways to cope with certain issues as well. There are many problems for high school students, especially seniors to deal with everyday, but it isnt to late to make a change. This topic is very important because of the rate high school seniors as well as undergraduates are very high at a 70 percent of these students not graduating and dropping out. The future generation is up to high school students and college students to live a bright life, but this can't happen if this issue isnt brought up to attention. School administration as well as teachers always talk about the causes and issues to senioritis and students dropping out, but what action is really being done? Maybe if more support both mentally and emotionally was out there in schools, then the rate of students procrastinating and dropping out wouldnt be so high. Parents as well should take more action and be more involved with their childs academic progress, but most parents tend to not worry about that as much as they should. High school seniors and students have the chance and choice to become whatever they wish, but tend to not put school as their number one priority in there life. If we want a generation where our future life looks bright and successful, then everyone must make a change. Dont let senioritis take over, let the students have the positive control.
