There are a lot of idiots, hood-rats and gangstas in my school..I love my friends though. I made lots of friends being in drama club. My choir/orchestra teacher is THE BEST teacher ever. I'm gonna be a sophomore this fall. My Spanish teacher is one of those short guys that walk around thinking they're badass :P
My school's graduation rate is bad... We're getting a grant and a new principle.

I went to 3 different high schools and I was the quiet loner in all of them. The first school was okay, lot of gangs went there but I didn't get involved in that, the second school was in the suburbs and it mad me realize just how ghetto the burbs are; junior year was the most easiest out of all of them, people knew me and spoke to me more and I started getting out of my shell a bit.

In my senior year, I moved and went to another school again and pretty much start all over being the loner. At that point I pretty much said "**** it" and kept to myself, hell it was the last year there wasn't much of a point to try.

I became a loner when I had to go to another school after I was expelled from my first school. The core group of my so called friends knew I got sent to this continuation school that's in the same area of the old one. The liars said they'd visit me , but they didn't. Then I got expelled from that one and I wet to adult school.

I hated high school. I wasn't confident in myself, and looking back, I don't like the person that I was as a result. I was surrounded by super fake people and most were pretty awful human beings (and still are, as a matter of fact, at least from what I've seen of some )

 

[Dark Victory]

I'll be entering Junior year this fall, which is going to suck. I started my AP homework a few weeks ago, and I'm nearly dead. Paper on social theory, annotated copy of Black Boy and reflection, science internship; ugh. I'm not even going to bother with my engineering assignment.

But Sophomore and Freshman year were the ****. Other than a few intense periods throughout those years, I couldn't have been happier with my GPA and classes, and I participated in five extracurricular activites both years - football, basketball, volleyball, tv crew and the high school's news channel. Not to mention all the awesome people I've met. Sure, we all have to put up with the average crap of high school, but other than those few dupes, it's been smooth sailing for me.

 

[Hyper Venom]

My only regret is that I was so angry and depressed in high school that I missed out on alot of good times I could have had. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it at all, because I did. But man did I cause myself alot of unnecesary grief.

 

[PyroChamber]

It seems to me like high school prepares you for dealing with people when you become an adult. It's like "you think the people you go to school with are *******s, wait until you hit the corporate world".

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I was the anti-social, "everything about school is lame" guy. I couldn't have participated any less in after school activities. I was friends with different clique members, but I preferred being with the slacker crowd, people who liked joking about things others would find offensive.

Ninth grade was a private Catholic school. Pretty sure I was the only atheist there. I was also a new student, so it took awhile, but I became pretty popular for a school that had about four hundred students. It was really a cool school and I had a lot of fun there.

The first go around in tenth grade was the worst; new school, not a lot of friends, incredibly crowded, and I lost just about all credit for that year. Due to a family issue, I was going to stop living with my mom and newborn sister and go back to where I currently live and went to most of elementary and middle school for. So for about a month, I wasn't going to school. Never thought much about it, but turns out I was never officially withdrawn from that school, so all those days I missed were tallied as absences.

Went to a new school in May and had to take exams, even thought I wasn't going to get jack **** for them. The bright side was that I got to come home of sorts and see old friends all grown up. Unfortunately, most of those friendships were never rebuilt. Had to take summer school that year and got a total of three credits, including that school year.

So tenth grade was repeated, and I finished out the rest of school there. Fun times were had, but I'm glad it's over. I know it doesn't mean much, but I'm proud I didn't participate in graduation, as "everything about school is lame." Got my diploma in the mail, along with what's probably two different covers, but I haven't even opened them.

HS was all over the place for me junior year being the worst, but senior year was pretty great. Our days were split, so we had 4, 1 hour 45 min classes each day and one semester I had two gym classes, a nurses aid class, a study hall, algebra 2, and a couple of easy history classes. It was a cake walk. I also had a class where we would read any novel of our choosing and then do a report, but I got away will wandering the halls and sleeping. Sure there was some drama with my friends (I stole a buddies gf), but it was a great year. I had my first drunken evening that I would rather forget, a great first love, and all the possibilities in the world ahead of me. Then things went down hill and I have yet to recover from that summer before my frosh year in college.

Block scheduling was pretty cool. Always had at least two days to do homework.

 

[Alastor]

Yeah, that was great. One day my first class was as a nurses aid, which consists of sitting at a desk with one of the hottest chicks in school and MAYBE doing something, and my second class was study hall, so I really NEVER had homework that year.

 

[Bruce Banner]

High School was a weird time for me
I was always the quiet one, and took any creative classes that I could creative writing, art. (Unofficially learned about theater/drama class by hanging out with them at rehearsals and in there class.)

Freshmen and Sophmore year was me being the loner with few friends.

Junior year things started changing, people started acknowledging my presence.

Senior year just felt strange but in a good way. I was more vocal(not much). I hung out with everyone from to the so called "popular" kids to everything down to my outcast roots. Which I felt like it never left. I was rejected by my high school crush(when I look back on it that was stupid) but ended up meeting a old friend who started working with me and we sorta hit it off.

I don't really miss anything from High school, other than taking classes that I enjoyed unlike now in college.

 

[BlackLantern]

hated it, had to fight the urge everyday to not burn the place to the ****ing ground, don't even acknowledge people who remember me

 

[kane9321]

My Sophmore year was nice..met a few older girls who were juniors...they were cool. Slept with one of them. Junior year Played football, and wrestled..met my future gf for the next 7 years..went to prom. Senior year OH boy! Still wrestled but during a match I Thought i sprained my wrist..didnt know it was sprained untill after the match. Couple of months passed...went to senior prom, Then GRAD NITE..WOHOOOOOO.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Gonna start my senior year this fall. I'm nervous but kind of excited. I'm worried about getting into a good college but I know I'm gonna have to work my ass off. I pretty much took all the English classes on the list with AP U.S. and some other electives. I want to get into RIT badly so I can get into film. The program is fantastic and the college is only five mibutes away from my house. I hope I can get a girlfriend this year at least. I told myself I wouldn't try to get one until I had a job and a car. Have a job now I need the damn car. And my license.

Freshman year - my most stressful year ever. I didn't do too bad though which was good. But I lost 10 or more pounds from my Algebra class constantly stressing me out. But I had a hot English teacher.

Sophomore year - laid back and simple other than Spanish which I sucked in. Weird because before I did so well in it. Maybe it was because I didn't care. I got an 89 on the regents though. Thank God it was easy. Had a really hot film study teacher. She even rented The Usual Suspects per my reccomendation.

Junior year - not as good as sophomore year but still pretty good all around. Other than Chemistry which was a nightmare. My God, I never used to be that bad at science until chemistry. ****ing class was a waste of time. Didn't get to go to prom because the girl I asked turned me down (reasons being I completely understand and have no hate) Perhaps the highest point of my life suddenly crashed off a cliff before the day even ended.

So yeah, I hope Sneior year will be good for me. I'd like to get involved more. But I can't just fit in with the popular crowd. And most of them are pretty cool people.

 

[Kane52630]

Did anyone had fights in their schools? I mean a good fight, either seeing it or actually being in one.

I remember when 2 girls that moved from New Orleans got into a fistfight during Lunch, I was just about to leave for me next class when it happened. It was glorious, huge swings, hair pulling, everything. Even my coach couldn't break up the fight, the assistant principal came over and try to break it up and got one good punch to the face. She fell so fast that her wig fell off, all you can see is her trying to reach her walkie-talkie

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Best lunch ever- seeing one girl beat the hell out of another for at least a minute; totally one-sided. Nobody was making a sound except for the girls' grunts and "SOMEBODY HELP...GET HER OFF OF ME!" A year earlier, I got to see two or three cops wrestle two different guys to the ground and use pepper spray. Best part about those incidents was that I sat about 5 feet away from the police one and about 20 from the second.

 

[Scourge2099]

The coolest fight I seen at school was when two Mexican gang bangers fighting each other. One got on top of the other one and started punching the s*** out of him.The buddy of the one who was doing the punching joins in and starts stomping the legs of the one on the ground. So this big Mexican dude comes running out of nowhere and kicks the one doing the punching right in the jaw. Then he starts beating the s*** out of the other one and body slammed him on the railroad tracks. Then they all ran away because someone called the cops.

 

[SpideyVille]

One thing I really regret sort of is not taking the whole college process seriously. I didn't prepare myself for the SATs and ended up doing bad compared to the school average, and then I ended up getting accepted on the spot by some college that me and my best friend planned that we would dorm together, so it was supposed to be awesome. I ended up not applying anywhere else, but then my friend ditched me for some girl so I ended up going to the college for a day until I realized I hated it and had to leave.

 

[Dark Victory]

I go to the biggest high school in the nation, and the population of ghetto kids is staggering. There's a huge fight like every other day. Once, I saw these two huge fat girls go at each other in front of my locker. Slapping, punching, pulling the other's hair - intense ****.

 

[katie_girl09]

There wasn't really any in-crowd at my high school. Well, there kinda was but no one really paid attention to them. Everyone had his/her own group of friends. That was what I liked about it. I don't remember high school very often though. University was so awesome that there's no point.

I wasn't actually as geeky then as I am now. But I was still a geek. And I went to prom with a football player (OMG XD)!
