The High School Experience: What was/is high school life like for you.

[CrashNburn]

That would be like finding $100 on the ground, winning the lotto later on in life and then saying it sucked when you found the $100. hahaha

 

[Immortalfire]

Im sure some are exaggerating lol

I had plenty of great experiences from high school along with not so easy ones too but I was friends with every group. I got along with mostly everyone i encountered.

Im sure some had it tough but all 4 years??....and worst years of my life?? I dont know what to say. Seems a bit much.

Every year of school was the worst year of my life, not just the final four.

 

[Anubis]

That's like assuming you actually found a 100 dollars. Let's say you farted real loud in Science class, and everybody called you Gas Leak for the next four years. Then yeah, winning the lotto makes that whole experience probably the worst thing that happened to you up to that point.

Or hell, getting a good job. Finding an awesome girlfriend. Friends, your own place....not having people call you Gas Leak all the time would be considered a massive improvement to friendless, social pariah, who got no play from the ladies.

 

[CrashNburn]

Every year of school was the worst year of my life, not just the final four.

Geez man! Im really sorry to hear that. Why is that if you dont mind me asking? That just seems like a bit much to me. Were you beaten up every single day of your school life or something....i just dont get it.

No I wasn't bullied or anything like that...just my personality being how it was, being forced to be somewhere I didn't want to be, doing work I rarely understood and didn't want to do, combined with the everyday challenges of childhood led to a lot of anger and near depression over time.

But thank the Lord I got through it, and am alright now.

 

[Scourge2099]

This chick let me touch her boobs in my geometry class once. That was the greatest moment in my High School life.

 

[Anubis]

I lost my virginity with my friend's girlfriend in his bathroom.

 

[Scourge2099]

This chick was giving free bj's in the boys bathroom at lunch. She must've been pretty good at it because the line was pretty long.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

I never got a girlfriend in High School.

This chick was giving free bj's in the boys bathroom at lunch. She must've been pretty good at it because the line was pretty long.

Did she eventually die from a venereal disease?

 

[Scourge2099]

I have no idea. Maybe she's doing porn now.

 

[Anubis]

You don't have to be very good to get a long line for free BJ's.

 

[Hound55]

You don't have to be very good to get a long line for free BJ's.

Agreed. That denotes quality of promotion moreso than quality of service...

A better test would be repeat customers... but even then how many people have better options lined up than free BJs...

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm gonig to be a senior this fall, thank god.

High School has absoloutely sucked, and it's safe to say that it is WITHOUT A DOUBT the absoloute worse thing that has happened to me in life. Freshman year wasn't too bad. I didn't socialize alot, but i did have friends. The end of the year was okay. However, Sophmore was f****** terrible! I didn't socialize with anyone. My teachers were way too serious and some were way too much like the snobby w***** and jocks in my classes. I hate them with so much passion. A couple of my friends were in my gym class sophmore year, which was nice, but still.

My friends mainly had long hair and wore metal shirts like Metallica, such as myself. Though, I didn't have long hair back then. My hair is pretty damn long now. It's touching my shoulders, but not resting on them. So, it's still got some ways to go, but it's defeniteley considered long.

Summer 2009 = amazing. 'nuff said.

Junior year felt better in terms of friends because moreo f my friends were in there, but that didn't help much. I look back at it and cringe. I had a stuck up teacher who was stubborn as all hell. He pretty much lvoed making fun of me, even though that's not how he looked at it. I hated the students. I really did and it sucks that i'll be graduating with them. Thp roblem? My friends just graduated in june. I pretty much have nobody now except for a bulls*** artist of a friend that i met in junior high school, who isn't even honest. the firnds that graduated left me so sad the last week of school that i spent alone with nobody. I felt on the edge to breaking down into tears because of what was coming and that meant senior year with nobody. It actually kind of felt like they died. That's how I felt inside. They are the reason I whent to school, even though I didn't want to. We loved heavy metal music which was great. They were just so funny. I was and still am a bit anti social though. I don't have many friends if any at all.

Now, Senior year. You have ot have acertain amount of credits in order to graduate. I don't. My only chance was summer school, but that didn't happen. So, guess what? I don't think I can graduate. I might be able to, but i don't know. To top it all off, we have this thing called senior project. We have to do a project which takes MONTHS to do. Write an 8 page eassay, do field work on that topic, get a mentor, meet up with that person each day of the week, actually do something about your topic such as building a computer in front of judges. You actually have to do it in front of the judges. There are about 5 judges. you actually ahve to stand up in front of judges and talk for about 8 -15 minutes. If you mess up on 1 or 2 things when presnting, you have to do it over during the summer. If you can't do it, you don't graduate.

I'm sorry, but I think it's bulls**** and I don't support it. I really don't. I hate my school. I look at it as hell, tbh. You don't go to school for 3 days? They send people to your house. Happened to me. I stayed up all night, so they didn't take me to school in their car, and they let me stay home, but still. I don't support this. If it means not graduating, then so be it. The stress is way too great. It's funny, I've been called one of the best students because i never talk back, I don't hang around in crowds, i'm nice to teachers and I'm cooperative, yet, they still treat me like s***. That's why, when people tell me "High school isn't that bad" I get very upset and angry because they don't know what it has become.

High school has made me upset 24/7 even on vacations. I try to keep the days I have off as long as possible, fighting the urge to sleep so that my days last longer. I stayed up until 5 Am and all night sometimes last year. It was amazing. Sadly, so far, that has happened this summer and I'm gonig to regret it. I really am. Trust me, if high school is making it so that I will stay up and affect my health just to make it so that my days away from there last longer then there's a serious problem there. I honestly can't take it anymore.

I have a feeling my senior year this year is going to be horrible, and if I find out in september that i can't graduate, i'm not even going to bother finishing the year. I will literally leave the second day.

Trust me, I have alot more I can say, so if you guys want to hear it, just ask.

Dude...it's ****ing High School....lol.

If you honestly think you are not the problem, then that is why you're going though "hell".

And btw, you wont get far without a high school diploma. So you better start fixing yourself.

And dont tell me "I like myself! And I DONT WANNA CHANGE!".....well, obviously you dont like yourself if you're having a ****** time. If you let people know you're a loner, loser, weirdo, you wont have friends. Ever.

Try to be more open to people. Kids like that. They hate weird little ****s. I know I do. I used to have no friends...but I changed, changed my personallity. I'm still ME, i'm just way more open, and dont shun people away.

Seriously, it's 4 years of your life. Perhaps one of the more important years....the school **** is all BS...but the life skills is what you really got to learn.

So do yourself a favor, and get over it. Say "**** it" and try to have some fun. Honestly, you'll look back 10 years later and realize what a waste of time you gave to yourself. I know I do, and I'm not even out yet.

Honestly, unless you had a legit issue (Maybe a family memeber died, maybe you went to the hospital, maybe you got sick....), I dont feel sorry for anyone who hated High School. Because they could've easily changed.

I hate weirdos. I hate them because they are so oblivious they're weird that they act like they're doing nothing wrong. If you're a nerd, and all you do is spout the nerdiest **** possible, and make yourself a target, DONT.

I'm a huge nerd. And if I DO say something nerdy, i'll call myself out on it. Kids like that. It makes me seem normal. I mean, sure, you get the ocassional *****e bag, and so what. Who cares about them. Either stick up for youself or ignore them.


Long post I know....but I just cannot stand this attitude people have. It's so useless for life.

 

[8wid]

No I wasn't bullied or anything like that...just my personality being how it was, being forced to be somewhere I didn't want to be, doing work I rarely understood and didn't want to do, combined with the everyday challenges of childhood led to a lot of anger and near depression over time.

But thank the Lord I got through it, and am alright now.

Totally can understand how that felt... I lived it for many years.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I gotta agree with ya Celtic. People need to stop blaming other people and things for their problems and take charge and recognize that they are the only people who decide what they do with themselves. It's about sucking it up and dealing with it. Yeah, it's probably tough as hell. I can't speak for SMH12 in what he's been through because I haven't been through that, but dude, just suck it up and get through it. It won't be easy, but do what you can to make the best of it. Don't go against something because you think it's not fair and it's ********. Tough. That's life. You need to take control yourself and just deal with it. You're not gonna like it, but if it means getting there and doing well, then so be it. Not caring whether you graduate is not a good thing. It'd pretty obvious it's a terrible thing. Stop blaming the people and things around you can just do it and get through with it. You'll be a much stronger person if you hang on. You're only committing yourself and letting them win if you let them get to you like that.

I dont mean to come off as an ass, I'm giving it to you straight. I hate it when people blame others for how their life is. It's only you that determines that. So SMH12, you better change yourself this year, because you need it badly. If you don't, then this attitude will carry on for the rest of your life. And you'll keep blaming others for your problems. Once again, I can't imagine what you go through, but in the end, like everyone else who has a problem or how many of them, they should deal with it on their own and make the best of it. Even if you don't make any friends, for the love of God at least graduate. You'll care in five years that you didn't graduate and had to take senior year again. You will regret that.

Dude , you're taking high school too f****** seriously. I know you're gonna say "What the f*** do you know ?" I went through a lot of bulls*** when I went to school. I was filled with anger like you wouldn't believe. Sure I had some good moments like when that chick let me touch her breasts in class , but most of it sucked. I've been filled with anger for a big chunk of my life and what the f*** has that gotten me ? I got a s*** load of problems now. Trust me the path you're gonna go down is not worth it. Try to be positive. You don't have to listen to me and when you read this you can tell me to f*** off if you want because I don't really give a s*** , but at least listen to someone who has been through some s***.

 

[AndThePickles]

Agreed, you *MUST* graduate. Things after high school will be different, if you let them. High school was so awful for me, but that just made me all the more determined to make what came after it awesome. You will have much more control of your circumstances and who you are around. I made certain to change what I knew I didn't like about myself, and in combination with finally getting more control over my environment, I found myself truly enjoying life. After I graduated high school, I moved on and didn't look back. I may hate the memories, and they're painful, but I am so so proud of who I've become despite it all. Look at it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

The only reason one goes to HS is to graduate. lmao.

Listen to pickles SH12. Part of the process is also growing older and becoming more aware of yourself. I went through that, and many others have as well. Now is the time for you make some changes, and other changes will happen without you even noticing. Trust us on this.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, gotta graduate. Cuz as bad as life is now, it will REALLY suck if you don't finish high school.......unless you got some kinda drug connections so you can go all Tony Montana up in this b***h.

 

[Scourge2099]

I kind of doubt he's going to listen to anybody's advice. To him high school is the end all be all of life.

 

[Alchemyst]

Agreed. That denotes quality of promotion moreso than quality of service...

ROFL, that had me dying right there

 

[Manic]

You know what'll get you through high school? Movies by John Hughes. They taught me that even though high school kinda sucks, you gotta find your fun where you can and learn to let go of the bull**** that's holding you down.

Take a day off and go to town with your best friends. Spend a day with people of different social cliques to see that high school isn't a picnic for them either. Throw a huge party at your house with the aid of a magical computerized supermodel. Go to prom with a rich dude who may or may not really like you, leaving your devoted best friend who's obviously in love with you in the dust.

Maybe not that last one.
