Everyone knows them. Everyone has a class with them. Everyone has felt the punishment of their actions. They are those kids who ruin those few fun moments our school lets us have (and let’s be honest we don’t get many).

Recently “those kids” have ruined something which many students put time and hard work into, the lip dub. EAST students have spent long hours getting copyrights, planning scenes, and involving the whole student body in their anti-bullying lip dub to “Some Nights” by Fun.

And now all of their hard work might not result in anything. “Those kids” have been recorded doing inappropriate gestures or dancing, having inappropriate pictures painted on themselves, thus making the lip dub unusable unless more work is done by EAST students.

“Those kids” also ruin the little things in class too. From personal experience with these types of students, I have gone from watching a movie in a class to writing an essay, from only 10 homework problems to 30, and from no quiz to a pop quiz all because of “those kids.”

Their response to all this is they were only trying to make school more fun, but honestly they are only making it worse. I believe that if they just listened to teachers, shut up when asked, and didn’t do inappropriate things, our teachers and administrators might be more open to the idea of fun.

Some of you think “those kids” are cool and you should totally strive to be just like them. Just think about it. If they weren’t “those kids,” a lot more people would be saying exactly what I am. Sometimes actually following the rules isn’t such a bad thing.
