If I unexpectedly got stranded on a tropical island with my peers, I don’t have a single doubt that things would get hectic pretty quickly. Without any supervision, everyone would try to do anything they wanted. The only problem there would be, there wouldn’t be much to do—especially stuff they would want to do. And no matter how hard it would be for them, everybody would have to do their part to make the group as a whole survive
If there were no rules, it would almost be impossible to survive. Most likely, people would try to figure out a way to survive, or get help, even if it meant doing extremely dumb things. Rules would need to be set up very quickly to keep track of everybody and make sure that nobody would get hurt. Rules like ‘no wandering off alone’. If the rules set up were broken, there would have to be consequences, differing depending on the outcome and the rule, not the person who broke the rule.
Who would make those rules though? Even a band of classmates on an island needs a leader. A leader would have to be voted for, not just take control because they think they would be best for the job. Unfortunately, most ninth graders would go for the most popular, funny, hunk of a guy on the Island. This would probably not be the best idea, unless he is a lot more responsible than he seems. The best possible thing that could happen would be if everyone being stranded on the island made them realize that popularity isn’t everything, and they would pick a strong, smart leader, that actually knows how to lead their classmates.
Life would definitely be hard living on an island with your classmates, but not impossible.
