As a young person one can be susceptible to the movies and entertainment. I am no different. As a young lad my freinds and I often watched the movie Dazed and Confused. Dazed and Confused is about a group of newly high school seniors driving around in there overly nice muscle cars harassing girls and younger male students. They drive fast, drink beer and dont seem to have a care in the world.
This lead me to be believe things that were not true about being a senior or about being in high school in general. Because of what I saw in Dazed and Confused I thought being in highschool was all about what car you drove and how good you were at sports made you cool and more well liked by everyone. Even if you weren't liked by someone i.e. a teacher you could still do what you wanted if you were an accomplished athlete or scholar.
Dazed and Confused, however did not change a view I already had. Instead it is what shaped the only view I had of the highschool world. I will say it didn't help that an older freind of mine drove an overly nice muscle at the time the movie was out as well. However, Dazed and Confused cultivated the worlsd view that I had about high school until I was an actual high school student and realize that it is not like movie. People do have things to worry about and they definatly don't all drive muscle cars.
