How to Write about High School Students

Before you begin talking about how 75% of this generation is going no where and how high school students need to learn a lesson, make sure to address the cause of the problem. More specifically, make sure to discuss their poor work ethic and their habit of procrastinating and not caring about school. Rule of thumb: students are the villains, schools and teachers are the heroes.

Tip before you start: make sure to always generalize one bad student to the rest of the student population,  and suggest hard and unnecessary punishments, to reprimand them for their habits (by the way, these habits may not actually exist, but pretend they do for the sake of being a good writer).

Of course, how can you write about high school students without mentioning drugs and alcohol? While writing, the characters must have done, currently do, or will do, drugs. They probably should do bad things because they want to experiment. Remember to mention that experimenting is a teenagers habit and that it is okay. NEVER mention that students can learn from their mistakes.

With the rising statistics about phone usage and bad grades, teenagers must be the cause of this. Instead of mentioning hours of homework, make sure to emphasize the hours they spend on their phone, or out with their friends. The students are too busy hopping school fences and skipping school to do their work, so some higher power should step in and show them who the real boss is. The characters would not be well represented if they study all the time. Superficial qualities should be added for some extra spice.

When writing this, consider some things that should never be mentioned. Firstly, students who excel in school are boring and do not make a good read, so just do not mention them. Students trying their hardest should also be avoided. It is highly unlikely that a high school student will care, so just drop it. Students suffering from stress, anxiety, and exhaustion don't need to be mentioned because then you would need to go into all the boring details about what kinds of consequences things like these hold (things that you probably care so much about).

The most important thing to repeatedly mention is that high school students are small children and quite possibly, robots (robots should only be included if you want to change up the article). No higher power should treat the high school students like they are adults or like they deserve adult privileges. Students should be intimidated, punished, and lectured at (These three things are crucial). Although you may not be a high school student yourself, you have the power to write about them and understand them accurately. Don't worry about disregarding the positive traits of the students, there are none anyways.
