GleeK OUT

  High school can be an intresting time for students. Choosing their future, finding an understanding of ones self, and maintaining a reputation for some. For others it can be a downright hard time such as facing or standing up to bullies. The glamorous musical comedy-drama television show Glee focuses on high school issues as well a social media issues. Each episode the class of Glee, remasters various songs in their own way. A few popular songs remasterd are "Somebody to Love" by Queen, "Bad Romance" Lada Gaga, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" The Beatles and "Over the Rainbow" Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The class of Glee also faces in some may say the antagonist of the show Sue Sylvester played by Jane Lynch.

  Glee is something that sparks the inner good in all of us, espically high school students since they can relate to it much more. It represents something more than just a musical tv show, it represents social issues and shows to students how to deal with some of the problems in a good way by expressing it. One issue that Glee stumbles upon is gay rights. A particular student Kurt Hummel played by Chris Colfer is known to be a gay student in the show. He does get bullied around in the and gets called names due to what he believes in. In society people tend to not agree with gay rights and I dont blame them, they are also entitled to their own opinion. Just a common ideologoy of mine, homosexuals make a huge deal about being who they are and the so called Jesus lovers are aginst it since they say that having love or affection for the same sex is wrong. Well religion also said that loving one another leads to peace, and NOTHING AT ALL IS WRONG PEACE. So I guess if people would stop making such a big deal about others living their life, the gays would stop shoving it in our faces with the whole gay parade now and again...sorry I couldn't put it any other way.

  Glee also pushes on other issues such as bullying which is something huge in our schools. Glee portrays throwing a full cup of slushie in peoples faces. The bullies would often do this to the Glee members. This is to show that sense of inequality among others. But it's not, as the show goes on the bullies put themselves in the Glee members shooes and experience the true beauty of songs that they sing. Through this there is some understanding how bully and victim can understand each other.

  Therefore Glee shows to today's youth that life has many struggles, but by taking the higher road it all pays off in the end. ( And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make)-The Beatles
