Have you ever wondered how much pop culture influences high school and the students that go there? From the clothes we wear, to the way we talk, all is influenced by what’s going on around us. In this article we are going to discuss the ways pop culture truly influences high school students.

First, a big thing that affects High schoolers is social media. Platforms and apps like Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok are not just things that keep you entertained when you’re bored. They contribute to how you communicate with others and react to things. Trends or viral things on any of those apps spread like crazy and before you know it, everyone is trying the new viral thing. Even if you think you’re just messing around with friends on these apps. They can affect you a lot more than you realize and can even contribute to shaping who you are as a person.

Another thing is fashion. Fashion is a way that people are able to express themselves freely and give people a glimpse of who they are. Have you ever noticed how people begin to wear the same shoes or everyone wants a certain pair of pants that they need to have. That is pop culture. When you see someone famous whether it’s an actor or singer and they are wearing a cool jacket or hairstyle, many people want to get the jacket or try the hairstyle and it quickly becomes the biggest fashion trend at school. Fashion is all about expressing yourself, but trends that are set up by pop culture have a big impact on how we express ourselves. And these trends can make us feel more apart or included with the people around us.

These are just some of the examples on how pop culture influences high school students. This shows truly how much pop culture affects our world and ideas today.
