Rebel Generation


by Michele Kirk

It seems as though every young generation is known as the rebel generation by their elders due to a wider exception of ideas and a different view point on individual morals.  It’s safe to say that as the years go by ideas and morals will continue to change but a level of respect should remain the same.
    With the new school year came many new changes, from new teachers and new students in the hallway to the all new advisory group.  Students at RHS have been faced with what seems like an all new atmosphere and they have faced it with respect.
    While walking to and from my classes I haven’t heard the grumbling and complaining that would normally come from a rule change such as no longer allowing students to wear hats inside of the school or classroom and although not everybody absolutely loves the new advisory groups, their dealing with it.  It isn’t always necessarily easy to deal with everything new all at once but the students of RHS are dealing with the new and accomplishing an excellent education along the way.
    Perhaps instead of looking at our generation as just another moral stretching group of students we deserve to be seen in all aspects, including the increase in respect over the last year.  Instead of criticizing what has changed over a generation people should look at what has stayed the same, and then a so called “rebel” generation wouldn’t exist at all!
