We're all back to school now, and for some of us, that means starting the dreaded Health 101 class…aka, Sex Education. If you're sitting through that class this year, like Amber said, you're potentially being subjected to your gym teacher and some overly dramatic (fairly gross in some cases) slides and cheesy health videos made before you were born. Not fun and not easy to take anything of use out of that situation.

Switching to a new school is, in a word, overwhelming. In my case, you’re thrown into a class of 300 kids, on a campus with 700 kids, with tons of hard classes, and no friends (yet). 

“Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky,Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes all the same. There's a green one and a pink one  And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. And the people in the houses All went to the university, Where they were put in boxes And they came out all the same, And there's doctors and lawyers, And business executives, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same.”

Teens that are blessed with good looks and clear skin are practically worshipped by their peers. When they pass through the halls, people notice. It’s a fact so much so that it’s an overly used plotline in most teen movies and shows. Jake Ryan in Sixteen Candles. Regina George in Mean Girls. They’re the envy or secret crush of anyone who ever shared a textbook with them in English or sat near them at a pep rally.
