High school life and college life both have their advantages and disadvantages. A student will have major changes in his or her responsibilities, freedoms, and teachers. These changes are what shape a teenager into an adult. After high school has gone and past, college begins and everything changes. Positive or negative affects can come out of this transition depending on how the person deals with them.
Students in high school have less the responsibilities because most students are still living at home. In most circumstances, the parents or whoever the student lives with will help take care of him or her. They remind the student to do their homework, go to work, and help them out with everyday things like doing laundry or fixing meals. The parents also help pay the car payment along with many other things, including shampoo, toothpaste, clothes, gas and food. Many parents give their children an allowance for the chores they do.
While attending high school, students may not have all that much freedom. They usually have a curfew they have to follow, and are suppose to obey their parents rules because they are still living under the parents roof. Students can not do as they please. They can not stay up all hours of the night or go on crazy trips with friends, unless their parents agree to it. When a student turns eighteen, it is difficult to take orders and not be able to be in charge of ones own life.
The teachers in high school differ; some are strict while others our more laid back. They may decide to have a lesson one day or gossip all class period. They also tend to have teacher pets, or those who suck up to the teacher. Most teachers will try and help the student any way they can. High school students are also required to let a student make up their homework/tests if they have an accused absence. All in all, high school is not hard to pass.
Many students move away from home to attend college. This is a major transition for most students. A student loses the comfort from their family that they would normally receive everyday. Mom and Dad are not there constantly reminding one to do their homework, get ready for work, or pick up after them. They stop giving them as much money and doing their laundry. The student is now responsible for eating meals on their own, getting enough sleep, getting out of bed to attend classes, cleaning up after themselves, and everything
