Differences and Similarities in 6 Years Time



Recently on November 11th, I visited my Middle School, Hillsdale Middle, in almost the first time in 6 years. It was a riveting experience because I had to help my sister and her classmates as I volunteered, as well as visited old teachers. What I noticed that was very interesting was that, their are many similarities for my time in middle school and the times that I see these kids today. What I noticed was that their was some slight difference in attitude. It seemed that all the kids that I had come across with seemed to act older then they were. That seemed to be the new theme of their generation, try to act older. But there was so much segregation between boys and girls, and I remember that being a big specific thing when I was in middle school as well. They still were little kids at heart because many of the boys and girls seemed to be segregated, and gender was definitely a large factor. I noticed that girls and boys seemed to stay away from each other, even when trying to work with each other in class. They tried to keep their distance which was very interesting. But there were always that select group that was comfortable and that this whole factor really didn't apply to them. But overall it was an interesting experience and I was glad to visit and see how things have changed in 6 years.
