Homecoming Queen and King Candidates
At Groves we get to pick our Homecoming king and queens for each grade. But when the names were read of who had one my heart sunk. Sophomores had voted people who get made fun of a lot. I’m not going to mention the names because that’s just as bad. There was maybe one guy and one girl who were seriously voted on. The other 5 girls and guys were just jokes. How can the faculty let that happen? Why didn’t they re-do the voting. What makes it worse is that we don’t know if those kids chosen as a joke knew that or not. I know there are some groups of people in this school that live to make fun of other kids. But I didn’t know that there were so many that they all voted to make these kids a running candidate. Why let freshmen and sophomores vote and run when they most defiantly don’t have the maturity to have that privilege.

Why do we even have homecoming kings and queens for each grade? In my opinion, it should be one homecoming king and queen for the whole school. I did not know anything about what the sophomores did with the vote, and even after reading what happened, it seems so hard to believe. Sometimes kids can be so cruel, but what can you do about it? Some of these sophomores are going to keep doing things like this to be considered cool with their friends or to make themselves feel bigger than the victims of their actions. I remember when I was a sophomore and I know that not everyone gets sucked into this category, but the ones that do just need to grow up. They wonder why they don’t have the privilege to go out for lunch. This is exactly why.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have no need for homecoming queens or kings. What's the point other than for a popularity contest? If they just use it for making fun of other kids like Brittany said, then they obviously don't show the maturity level to be able to do it. I had no idea that they did that to those poor kids this year; make fun of them by humiliating them in front of their peers. If someone did that to me I would just be devastated. Homecoming court should be reserved for seniors because that is the only year that matters anyway. In previous years being on the court doesn't mean anything other than being recognized by your peers as "superior". Unless the younger grades grow up, they shouldn’t have the opportunity to vote for Homecoming Court.
