Rollins College's graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school's graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology.“You have a voice. Use it, ” she advised graduates.

Growing up with movies such as High School Musical and Grease, which presented the ideal high school friendships, we sometimes expect a perfect relationship. Indeed, some high school friendships can be real and simple; while still some high school students will meet a friend who causes trouble. With failed friendships come lessons and experiences learned for the future. You will know the influence after you leave high school.

“I was always worried about what my friends thought about me. Sometimes my friends would make fun of what I wore or what I would do. I always tried to get along well with them, but I realized how happy I was once I stopped contacting them after high school, ” said Elisha, Class of 2020.

Most teens have not realized the big question when dealing with high school problems. In five years, will this still matter?

Briana, a high school teacher, said, “Now, I am in contact with two high school friends.
