school bags essay image

I'm writing an essay on lack of values in schools. I'm looking for examples. They can be materialistic, like a first grader wanting a Louis Vuitton bag or a 14-year-old who wants $160 highlights for her hair? But I would also like to know what values young people think are important. Thanks in adavance!

My 9 year old wants friends that don't suck, to be a veterinarian, to skip a grade, to get more dogs, and to play more hockey. She's a smart hockey playing dog lover, but I think generally it is all the same. Kids want what their friends have, want friends that are generally seen as cool [or interesting], and hate to be bored. The kids that have everything want more of the same [just more expensive] and the kids that have nothing mostly want the basics. My daughter hates to see other people hurt, but seems more offended by violence towards animals then violence towards people. A boy can punch another boy and she said "they had a fight". But someone kicks a dog and she will actually cry.
However my 7 year old wants her hair dyed red, and to wear pink every day. She doesn't watch commercial tv, and isn't overly spoiled or materialistic. Her favorite teachers aid has red hair and so does her favorite daycare teacher. And she happens to really like pink. But her beautiful long blond hair will never never be dyed red!!! :) I think the older kids get the more their value system goes from looking up to people in authority, to looking up to peers.

I'm a freshman going into high school and i don't really know what to get besides pencils and paper.
Answer
At school each of your teachers will tell you specific things that you need. However, I can give you general guidelines.
You will probably need a backpack or tote bag. I suggest a backpack if you are going to have a lot of books or binders to carry home.
A folder & notebook for each class. Some teachers require binders though, so you'll have to wait to hear specifics.
Obviously pens & pencils. Make sure you have blue & black ink pens because if your school does in-class essays, you will need those.
Math supplies (calculator, ruler, protractor, etc.). Oh, and unlike the other person said, you probably don't need a * special * calculator (aka a graphing calculator) until junior year or you take algebra 2. my school recommended it for algebra one, however the teachers provided them when necessary. Until then, I suggest just having a scientific calculator which I assume you have from middle school.
If you want, get post it notes for marking your spot in books. Get index cards for reviewing. Get highlighters for jazzing up your notes. And get loose-leaf paper if you're using a binder.
So, goodluckk in highschool my friend!
