Primary Source 2
For my second primary source option I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "The Witch". In this episode, we learn about the pressure that parents can put on their children. In this case, Amy's mother wants her to become a cheerleader just like she was. Her mother was trying to live through her daughter which we see a lot in high school by parents. Her mother went so far as to switch bodies with her daughter through witchcraft to live out her high school career again. After she switched bodies, she tried to kill to get on the cheerleading squad. This is an example of high school today. Teens are so pressured that they would do almost anything to be accepted. This is true in almost every high school. I think this would be an ok subject to write a paper on, but I would have to expand on this topic a lot.

I personally think this is a great topic. Parents these days are putting more and more pressure on their kids to either carry on the family name in a certain field or to be something that the parent always dreamed of being but was never able to. Kids need to be kids and need to make their own decisions and not forced into things that they don't want to pursue.
