Kids should be kids

Tradition is a beautiful thing that carries on through decades and decades.  Every year the Grads of Penticton participate in pulling pranks on the other high school.  The other high school grads are not too fond of these antics, or being humilated.  That is why they carry on tradition by getting their revenge and pranking our school.  This creates high school "prank wars", and both of the opposing schools battle to attain the most outstanding prank. There is absolutely no harm intended when pulling these light jokes.  There is only one complication that puts this amusement to a hault.  And that is society now-a-days.  The general public has forgotten about tradition, but even more importantly, forgotten how to have fun.  Teachers, parents, police, have all ganged up to create a massive evil force that stops the youth of today from enjoying themselves.  The teachers, police, and anyone else disallowing this are just "another brick in the wall" to the students and are building a wall around the youth, and the fun they are capable of having.  They hand over fines and get students in all kinds of trouble.  They also physically stop the students from completing these pranks, so all of the time, excitement, and hard work, is all for nothing.  The community desperately needs to "chill out."  It is important for a high school student to have some fun, espiacally in their graduation year.  These pranks are fun and competetive, and in my opinion, it is just what a high school kid needs.
