Biggest Roller Coaster Ever

High school; possibly the biggest roller coaster that a teenager goes through.  It's the part of a person's life where he/she tries to find him/herself.  That is not an easy thing to do.  Even with that being said, my high school had a great environment.  There were only two kinds of teachers; the "good ones" and the ones that aren't as good as the "good ones." An example of a "good" teacher is one who connects with the students with current day technology and music; they also make learning entertaining, but also informative at the same time.  A teacher who wasn't as good as a "good" teacher, was one who just read from the book to teach students; teachers who were stiff and did not connect well, but they weren't necessarily bad teachers.  There were no bad teachers in my school, just students who did not care, thus, the teachers make themselves look bad by giving less respect to the students who did not care.  The way I see the students in my high school was that: everyone was "too cool" or too good for one another.  Out of all the classes I've been in, more than 3/4 did not participate in class.  The attendance was quite high, but participation was so low.  This made me think that the students were too shy, did not care, or like I said earlier, "too cool".  I would know because I was one of them; I was the "too shy" one.  There were cliques and it was noticeable, but the cliques rarely ever clash and start a commotion.  Even though I describe the students the way I did, my high school was quite peaceful compared to other high schools.

"Hello" for now and "Wassup?" for later.

The way I speak is a mixture of all my past experiences.  Sure, I use different tones and words towards different people, but overall, everything I say is from everything I've heard and seen.  Like a sponge that can keep absorbing water, I keep absorbing words, tones, and ways of speaking. Usually peers are most influential for how a person speaks, but not me.  I don't think anyone or anything has a heavy influence on how I speak.  I think it's just what I said earlier; a mixture of past experiences.  Family, books, teachers, friends, movies, shows, video games, and the internet, are some of the factors that made up the way I speak.  Of all the factors I've listed, they all made the different types of "Englishes" that I speak.  Speaking to adults is a whole other "English" compared to when speaking with my friends.  When speaking to friends who's only hobby are playing video games is a different language then when speaking to other friend's about sports.  And speaking to the opposite sex (sometimes) is totally different then speaking to the same sex, depending on the situation.  In the end, it depends on how a person is raised and the environment he/she grew up in, to determine how he/she speaks.  When I speak, it just depends where and who I'm speaking to.
