Robert Pell’s Simple Observations: Young Love

Young love
Through the years society has acknowledged the fact that teenagers, with their newly found hormones, often find an extreme infatuation with their fellow teens. Now why is this? Why do teenagers feel the need to get together? What is the media doing about this sensation and why?
The word teenager coincides more than anything with hormones. Now why is that? These two words are intertwined for eternity because during your teen years you start going through puberty and puberty is fueled by hormones. Hormones cause many changes within the body like body hair, growth spurts, and sex cells. Sex cells are the reason teenagers are brought together. When your hormones start kicking in you suddenly feel the need to engage sexually with your partner of choice. So hormones are what cause teenagers to become infatuated with each other.
Then of course there is always the question what is the media doing about this. Some people may wonder why this question is important but it is very important because the media has become the center stem for the public’s information and with the media being all we see and hear they can dictate how things look. Which is why this is important. If the media decided that they hated young love then they could make look as bad as they wanted it to, and when it looks that bad no one will do it. Reluctantly that is not the case, the media actually seems to support this young love phenomenon as do many of our students here at Obama.
So, with young love being natural and accepted by the public teenagers should be comfortable fraternizing with this temptation and definitely should not be afraid to explore it.

If you walked anywhere near Mrs. Sharif-Lucas’ room on Friday you would have heard the talented imani winds (lower case on purpose) playing string and wood wind quartets for students from 6th period to QRT. The Grammy nominated imani winds is a chamber music group of five, who have traveled all over playing and doing what they love for people everywhere.
The presentation was accompanied by two other groups of musicians, students from CMU, who also played. The groups also took time, between playing, to talk with students about their backgrounds and to teach them about what they do. The concert brought a smile to everyone’s face.
