Being a teen

Being a teen has it's ups and downs. Having laid back parents is good for teens,then they don't have to argue with them. My parents are in between laid back and strict, the type of parents that let you have fun but there's a limit it to that fun. They don't always understand me. Having to go to high school is another thing too, you could either have a really good time or just despise it. For me school is in between, I'll hate it if I get bad teachers then damn. I like coming to school to see my friends and socialize. Worst part about school,the homework because some teachers assign too much and then it's so time consuming that you can't do anything else. This can also cause sleep deprivation. I don't get as many hours of sleep as I should be getting. I would say I have a lot of friends so it makes my experience at school good. I think I'm balancing my job and school pretty well. So being a teen is easy and frustrating at the same time.

English and me

English and me is like me and roti, it's a love or hate relationship. I like English but it also depends on the teacher as well. My teacher last year was very mundane which kind of made me slack and didn't get the grade I wanted. Usually I do quite well with English but I do have my days where I'm not as consistent as I would be. In grade 8 I did superbly. The teacher was tougher, but at least I didn't sleep in class like my grade 9 teacher. I like reading but the book has to be intense just like an argument with a person over messages, it's always amusing. I haven't had a problem with English yet. I'm looking forward to having this class because it will be the first to use technology everyday all day. I am

Fond of short stories and novels, but I also enjoy poetry a little. Shakespeare on the other hand is a different story. Very time consuming.I don't like the writing because it takes time for me to know what they're saying and I'll spend all my time decoding one line which makes me furious.
