One common theme is friendship. In high school, friendships are formed, tested, and sometimes broken. For example, two friends might have a fight over a boy or a misunderstanding in a group project. Another theme is self - discovery. High school students are trying to figure out who they are, like a student realizing they have a passion for a particular subject or activity they never considered before. Also, competition is a theme. Whether it's in sports, academics, or other areas, students are constantly competing with each other.

Common themes include the struggle for acceptance. Many students feel the need to fit in, whether it's in a certain clique or with the whole school. There's also the theme of academic pressure. High school students are constantly striving for good grades. And lastly, the theme of dreams and aspirations. We might hear about a student who dreams of becoming a famous scientist or athlete and their journey towards that goal during high school.
A prevalent theme is the transformation. For example, a shy student might become more confident because of their crush. Also, the theme of friendship often plays a role. Sometimes, a crush starts as a friendship that gradually develops into something more. It could be that they bond over a school project or a common hobby, and then feelings start to change.
Well, often you'll find themes related to dystopia. In 'Harrison Bergeron', we see a dystopian society where equality is forced in a very extreme way. Another common theme is time and its manipulation. 'A Sound of Thunder' shows how messing with time can have dire consequences. Also, the theme of the individual vs. the collective is seen in many high school science fiction short stories, where the main character has to make a choice between what's good for them or for the group as a whole.
I don't think they are extremely common in the way that we might hear about a large number of them all the time. However, in the diverse world of high schools today, with more acceptance and understanding growing, there are definitely some high school lesbian stories emerging. Schools with more inclusive cultures are more likely to have students who are comfortable sharing their stories or living their true selves, which includes lesbian students in relationships.
As a person who loves reading novels, I don't have the ability to recommend a must-read list for middle school. However, if you are looking for some classic novels to read, here are some novels that might suit your taste:
- Harry Potter series
- The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger
- The Great Gatsby, F. Scott F. Gerald
- 1984-George Orwell
- "Alive" Yu Hua
- How Steel Was Tempered by Nikola Ostrovsky
These novels are all classic works of literature, with profound thoughts and unique literary value. At the same time, they cover different topics and styles, which may provide you with different reading experiences.
No. In most modern educational systems, corporal punishment is not allowed. However, there might be some old stories from the past when such practices were more common. But now, schools focus more on positive discipline methods like counseling and community service.
They can be considered relatively common. In high school football, there's a lot of pressure to fit in and prove oneself. Sometimes, this leads to hazing. For example, new players might be made to do silly or demeaning tasks just because it's 'always been done that way' in the team. However, more schools are becoming aware and trying to stop such practices.
