Opinion: Guys get to express themselves with their clothes more than girls can.

Girls at Carter High School Opinion about how they can’t really express themselves.

Guys have more freedom to express themselves with their clothes more than girls can.

When girls show their shoulders or when they show too much skin they are asked to change. Boys are able to sag and some wear short shorts and show their stomach without getting in trouble.

Girls should have more freedom so they can express themselves more with what they wear

If girls could express themselves people will be actually able to tell how they represent themselves. If girls are wearing clothes that are that revealing at school they will think that she isn’t trying to show her body off. Then what happens when a guy picks them up and they are showing most of their body.

Some girls’ self esteem goes down because they feel like they are being targeted and it’s their fault that guys can’t control themselves. Also some girls realized that some boys break the dress code just like them but won’t get in trouble for it.

Also parents have to watch what they buy and struggle to buy stuff that their daughter could wear to school. They have to make sure it isn’t too tight and doesn’t show too much skin. There are a lot of problems with the different sizes of our body parts that can make our clothes show too much skin.

Some may disagree with me. They might think that they both have the same limit to express themselves and that they just do it so everyone can focus on school. I understand that they are trying to make sure that everyone is focused on school but that shouldn’t have to make it where  girls have to worry everyday if they wear something if they are going to get dress coded or not. 

Boys and girls get to express themselves with their clothes but girls have more of a limit with their clothes than boys do. Girls feel like they can’t be comfortable in the things they like without getting in trouble. But they realized boys can wear a lot of things and everything is alright. 

Why Carter High School Needs More Clubs

Carter High school should offer more clubs to students. They should have a variety of different clubs to choose from. Carter needs more clubs. Most students would like to have more clubs to join. There are only a few clubs as of right now so more clubs would be a good idea. I think this school needs to offer more clubs to students. Most students would enjoy having a club with their interests to go to and hang out with friends. Some clubs that could be added is a pottery club, game club and other clubs. These clubs could be a good way to socialize and make friends outside of school. Students could find friends with similar interests as them and hang out with them. Students might enjoy going to the clubs and seeing people they are already friends with or new people. Students could find more things they could be interested in doing. They might find an art club or something and find out that they really enjoy art. They might find something they never thought that they’d be interested in but might actually love it. Having different clubs could help students find a way to be more involved in things. Some students might not be involved in clubs because they aren’t interested in them, so more clubs could be a way for students to get involved into things more. Although, some students might not like the idea of clubs because they could seem useless or they just don’t like clubs, but I believe that having more clubs would be a great idea and a way for students to have more fun. In the end, Carter High School should offer more clubs to help students make friends, be involved and find out their interests. Most students would love to have more clubs, but other students really wouldn’t care about the clubs. 

Locked Bathrooms in CHS

Admin at Carter High School have been locking the bathrooms? It is unfair and pointless.

This school year the administration has started to lock certain bathrooms. Locking school bathrooms is unfair. They are locking them due to some kids’ actions but it’s not all. They shouldn’t punish everyone, they should just punish the ones in the wrong. Not everyone has ill intentions.The school is not helping the issue, kids are going to find a way to vandalize and vape in the other bathrooms. They should not make everyone suffer for others actions, There is nothing we can do to stop the other kids. Not everyone deserves to be punished just because others mis-behave. 

The school needs to find a better way to punish those kids instead of punishing everyone. Students should be able to go to the bathroom whenever they need to. Holding it can cause serious issues but the school doesn’t care about the students suffering who didn’t do anything. Not every kid is doing something wrong, just some. Bathrooms are a necessity, they shouldn’t be able to take that away from students its unfair and cruel. Not everyone should be punished for others actions. The school should find another way to punish the students.

Review- Doctor Pepper

Dr Pepper is one of the most famous sodas, It is number 2 on the list of favorite sodas. It’s really sweet but really carbonated. 

it really only does taste like itself. You can get a can of Mr. Pibb, but it’s the same thing. It’s kind of a knockoff. These flavors really do only taste like themselves. In the case of Dr. Pepper, it’s a spicy drink  that you just have to taste to know. There are many many kinds of Dr pepper, and the best one in my opinion is strawberry creme, its foamy, sweet, and fruity all in one. But that’s not the only one there is 23 amazing flavors like 23 flavors are cola, cherry, licorice, amaretto (almond, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, blackberry, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamon, all spice, coriander juniper, birch and prickly ash. So you see there is a flavor for everybody, and everybody has their own preference. Not everybody is going to like strawberry creme. They not only make different flavors because of preference but mostly because when new things come out people want to buy and spend money on them so that’s why it’s the number 2 most popular drink. So this is why I think that strawberry creme Dr Pepper is the best drink.

Graduation

Graduating is one of the best times in highschool, because you finally get to branch out and look back on how highschool was. This year there are a couple of things different like it’s later than last year. Rebecca Lavender a Carter High School Senior states, ¨I’m not upset about it, mostly because we get a couple weeks off before anybody else, but I do hate that it’s still in june.¨

So some people are ok with it and some people are not upset about it. Kaydence Hancock a Carter High School Senior states, ¨I wish it was earlier so I can just get it over with because i’m nervous to walk across stage.¨ Even though graduation is late this year, let’s hope it’s still as good as the previous years.   

Subsitute Teachers

Have you ever wondered where your teacher is, while just sitting in class doing nothing. Well schools all over America have had a lot of teachers out, and a lot of substitute teachers. Teachers are out for all sorts of reasons like being sick or an accident occurred, or even they are going to be out  for a while because they’ve had a baby. So we need a sub that can stay for that whole period, not  just random people coming in doing nothing, and the kids just sitting there while their grade is dropping. Also not all subs had taught that class so they don’t even know how to help the kids with their work because they don’t even know how to teach it themselves. Teachers also have become more likely to miss 10 percent or more of school days since the pandemic began.It’s no surprise researchers find that teacher absence lowers student achievement. Parents are not happy about students doing nothing in class because they don’t have a teacher to help them with their work. They’ll give the subs work to the student and not teach them.So instead of kids not knowing what to do then we  need more teachers that know what they’re doing. 

Carter Clubs

Recently I have figured out that our school has like 2 clubs and a lot of sports, And not everyone likes sports they would rather have clubs. Also instead of kids just going straight home after school and doing nothing and not socializing, they can stay and talk to other kids who understand what they feel like and what they enjoy. So they pretty much can connect with others instead of being left out. They can embrace your creative thinking, and teach you how to work effectively with other people and help students develop a sense of unity and teamwork.

Natalie Moore, a student at Carter High says ¨Yes i think we should have more clubs especially because some kids just don’t have good social skills.

Madyson a student at Carter High, says, “Yes, I think we should become more friendly about something to do after school.

Best Kickstart at CHS

Pineapple Orange Mango is the best kickstart we have at school. We have 4 kickstarts in the vending machine in the arts building which are; Midnight Grape, Orange Citrus, Black Cherry, and Pineapple Orange Mango. None of them are bad at all but there are definitely ones that are the best ones. Pineapple Orange Mango was put in the first semester of 22-23 before that Black Cherry was the best but now the Pineapple Orange Mango is. The kickstarts are 1.50 and they are worth it. The Pineapple Orange Mango is hydrating and flavorful. They have 45 mg of caffeine in the 8 Fl oz bottle, a cup of coffee is 95 mgs. They do give some energy a little more than what cherry coke zero has. Kickstarts don’t have the diet taste to them. The kickstarts are the best drinks in the school. You taste the right amount of every flavor, Its taste is amazing. The pineapple orange mango has a lack of boost when it comes to energy but they all do. You would get more out of a cup of coffee. The Pineapple mango orange kickstart is the best and the black cherry follows at close second. 

Winter Formal Fun

Saturday, February 11 2023 is the first winter formal for Carter high school students in over 3 years. 

Mrs. Lee, one of the principals, is in charge of setting up winter formal along with the student government. The winter formal attire will be Semi-Formal, “Not Prom but still nice” said Mrs.Lee. There will be a DJ and Small appetizers. Many students wondered why it was at the school Mrs.Lee said “It is at the school due to places being booked or just too pricey”. The dress code is encouraged but not heavily enforced due to it being semi-formal. The date was picked because it was close to valentine’s day and there was not too much overscheduling. They hope to see many at winter formal and to host more dances in the future. 

Television Review: If you enjoy funny and inspiring reality television shows, then 1000-Lb Sisters is the show for you.

Title: 1000-Lb Sister 

Head Producer: Tom Cappelle 

Staring: Amy Slaton, Tammy Slaton

Place: Their home  

Original Release Date: January 1st 2020

Most Recent Episode Release Date: January 17, 2023

Available: TLC channel 

 This television show follows two sisters, Tammy and Amy Slaton, on their weight loss journey. So, if you are on a weight loss journey yourself, seeing these two women go through a similar situation could really motivate you to keep on pushing. 

In the most recent season, season four, starts out with Tammy going to rehab because she hit her highest weight. Her highest weight being 665 pounds. While Tammy is at rehab trying to lose weight, Amy finds out that she’s pregnant with baby number two. Since Amy is still morbidly obese, it is very risky for her to be having another child. Thankfully, both Amy and her new baby were perfectly healthy after birth. Sadly, after the birth of her second son her relationship with her husband starts to go downhill.This season also focuses on Tammy being cleared to have weight loss surgery. She then has weight loss surgery and everything goes very well. The camera crew and producers do a great job of showing how much the rest of the family cares about Amy and Tammy. The family members are with them through everything and are always there for support and guidance. It’s honestly very beautiful how much their family supports them and loves them. 

The Slaton sisters started doing youtube videos for fun and got the attention of TLC producers. Originally, the sisters were going to be on the shoe Family by the Ton. However, once TLC producers watched more of their youtube videos, they realized the family could have their own show. 

The only slightly negative thing I can say about this show is that Tammy can be annoying sometimes. She sort of seems like she wants everything to be about herself when in reality the show isn’t just about her, it’s about both of them. Besides her being annoying sometimes, the show is a very enjoyable watch. 

Overall, this show is very uplifting and encouraging. It is also very funny from all the jokes the family makes. They are normally very silly jokes that shouldn’t be funny but are for some reason, but either way you laugh. This show is definitely worth watching.
