For the past week, I have noticed that many of my classmates don't really go to school for the right reasons and some of them could really care less about their education. Everyday this week, my classmates cause drama in the classroom and they are always trying to pick a fight with someone. It seems like they try to keep up trouble and this has become a distraction in my learning environment. The older they get, the worst the get. They don't seem to realize the importance of an education. When it is time to turn in an assignment, they will copy off their other classmate's papers. This really upsets me because school is a place where you get an education and you learn new things to become more intelligent but instead my classmates throw paper at each other, argue, try to fight others, and pick on other people so they can have a good laugh. I think that the main reason why they do this is because of peer pressure. They get into this big group of friends better known as their clique and they take part in doing negative things just to annoy people. These classmates of mine are going to be hit real hard in the face when reality hits them. When they graduate from high school and go to college (if they make it there) they won't have all of their friends there to do all these childish things with. They will be all on their own and who will be there for them then?? They are wasting their education because they don't even do any of their classwork and definately not there homework instead they try to fight and argue with others. I call this stupidity in the classroom and this needs to stop!! There is nothing wrong with having friends and having fun but when it interferes with other people's education, I have a problem. Tell me what do you think about my immature classmates.
Stupidity in the classroom

Everyone matures at different rates. As long as they aren't interferring with your education or well being directly, don't let it bother you. It's not worth the headache.
Sad to say, the stupidity only gets worse. The good thing is that you've identified these people. You know why you're in school and that puts you ahead of the game.
But remember not to take life too seriously. I think the difference between you and your counterparts is that you understand that there is a time and a place for everything.
Know that this is a life lesson. Your classmembers that continously jest during class hours and cheat will get ahead in life, belive you me. This means that you will find yourself in a work environment with these very same classmates.
My best advice to you is to learn how to remain objective, professional and focused on your goal.
Good luck with your studies.
