Chain Writing: Are you SURE you want to do this?

Partner system of Minjok Festival must be abolished!

     After the mid-tern exam ends, in a cold winder, in the end of October, some students are bringing their partners, having fun, laughing and cheerfully talking to each other to the school party. However, you, unable to get any partner, walk lonely to the party alone, feeling sad and depressed.
     This is a school party to let students enjoy between all those long and boring studying for mid-term exam of SAT. However, if there are people who would be depressed from not getting any partner, this party does not serve its purpose.
     We do understand that the partner system has some sorts of merit, like being able to get close to the other sex. The essential problem occurs when no one asks you out, because it not only makes you discouraged to go th the party and enjoy, but also makes it difficult for you to concentrate on your studies. Feeling embarrassed, you try to go and find a different boy that possibly might take you out, but all of their answers are things like, 'no', 'sorry', 'maybe next time'. Not only girls, but boys also encounter the exactly same problem. Action must now take place, I suppose, for the sake of enjoying the party we are just about to ruin.
     Another problem that occurs because of the partner system in the Minjok Festival is the after-effect of the party. After a night partying with your 'partner', you will likely to develop a nice feeling towards that person. This may lead, and develop to a relationship. Especially concerning the fact that KMLA forbids dating and relationship, this will be a big problem. Teachers will have a hard time restricting and punishing students.
     The ultimate problem of Minjok Festival is that some boys have to be partners together. Yes, a gay couple. I abhor homosexuality. It shouldn't be introduced into our sacred school if it can be avoided. Okay, I understand that some people like someone with the same gender. One the 'Freshmen Welcoming Party', a boy whose name should not be revealed, proposed to another guy, although he was rejected. That is understandable, because people may have diverse predilections. But promoting homosexuality? No, that should never happen. We should only promote "English Only Policy".
