Student Success Statement
“What’s right isn’t always popular: What’s popular isn’t always right.”
Howard Cosell
The right things, what is right it not very common because people don’t often do it. Some people are afraid to do the right thing because they will get maked fun of or considered unpopular. The popular things usually involve making bad decisions, decisions that people think are “cool”. For example many teens in the generation smoke marijuana, a bad decision but they do it because its popular. They think if they make the right decision and walk away from it they won’t be popular they won’t fit in. Another example is helping others out, in high school this is a big problem. Many students don’t help other students in need out because that is not popular; you are considered “weird” or a “nerd” the unpopular thing. Whether the right decision is unpopular or popular you should always make them!
