Frustrating prom rules! At my school, there’s this ridiculous policy that says you can’t attend prom if you have over 10 tardies or absences in the semester. At first, it seems reasonable, but then I found out that they include excused absences too! What’s up with that? Sure, it makes sense to exclude students who skip class often, but it’s unfair to punish someone who had to leave school because they were sick or had a family emergency.

My teacher gave me his number (not in a weird way), and I kind of like him. What should I do? I appreciate your advice, but please, no negativity. It was just a silly crush, and I never intended to act on it. I’m making this post to help myself move past these feelings. Let […]
I’m really feeling overwhelmed with school right now. Waking up every morning at 5:30 AM EST is tough, and getting out of bed is a challenge.

Maybe you could bring it up with the administration or see if there’s a way for students to advocate for a more reasonable policy?
