High School troubles...

[+KuSaKaBe+]

Just like in real life, being in high school isn't all smooth sailing. Lets talk about the problems we run into in high school like making friends, dealing with jerks, and all that kinda stuff.

[Arei]

I don't know where to start, I don't wanna start xD

Well a current one is I can't help how un internet-savvy my classmates are, and have no idea how to have fun in a chatroom. Theres more to the internet then myspace.

[boredomlover93]

i dont get myspace. i never bothered to find out what it was. as long as i have cb i have no need for some myspace thing.

[BabyLoving]

LOL. I also never checked myspace out before. LOL. (: Anyway, some problems I have faced before is popularity. For my first two years, I was really unpopular, cause I liked a popular guy, and trusted the wrong people. It was hard at that time, cause people were real mean. But now, my status is better. And I even talk to those who used to tease me last time. (:

[Lady Ushio]

High School troubles? Yeah, I had some troubles... =(

I usually had issues with people in my High School Days. I still remember it, I just don't want to share it here. Just to let you guys know, I didn't have a very nice high school life in the beginning. I guess that's all I have to say then...When I think of that every time, it makes me more depressed...It was a pretty bad high school life.

[+KuSaKaBe+]

Well I'm pretty much almost done with my freshman year. In middle school, my status rose a lot after finishing 5th grade (worst school year of my life ever x_x), since I got a whole bunch of new friends. My friends were normal people, gamers, anime lovers and I think a couple of skaters. So you can say, I was inbetween. Since I hung around somewhat popular people, it fixed my status. Then my status dropped a little in 9th grade this year and I was just one of the many "normal" kids in high school. Over the summer, everyone had changed including me. One of my best friends, had changed so much that I almost didn't think it was really him. He just became "like everyone else", and we don't really talk anymore, though on several occasions I post comments on his myspace that he replies to since I have one. But recently, there's this new girl in my seminar, that ever since she came, everyone's just been all over her. She tells my classmates about these things she did back home in Guam, that sound kinda far-fetched stories that some of them actually believe, but another girl in my seminar doesn't believe her stories and the way she acts.

^ Basically what happend to me.

I don't really have much of a problem .. yet at least >.>
I know alot of people and get along pretty easily with them, only thing I can say I have trouble with is "freinds" who want to be more popular and want to mess with you ( when I am not around my friends haha. )

[Olrox]

I had troubles in high school (Or is it high school ? The school system here is different)..... alot. I had alot of friends, but I was unpopular with some people, didn't really bother me. My biggest problem was that I didn't really take school seriously and skipped ALOT. Now I just think "Why the hell did I skip school alot". It hasn't really backfired, but I still regret it, especially since my parents were (and still are) very supportive. Most annoying were the crazy rumours/ trashtalk why I skipped school so much, that still haunt me I guess. I was depressed, didn't really bother to talk about it though. I took a year off after high school to clear my head etc. I went to another school (don't know the english word for it), was there for a while, wasn't really for me and quit, and didn't really have any other choice to wait a year again. Now in a few months school is starting again, hopefully everything will go fine. It's kinda annoying since im basically 2 years behind most people my age (well I was always almost one year younger than everyone in my class, being born in december), but I can live with it.

[boredomlover93]

its alright to be behind i wouldnt see anything wrong with that. but back to what a lot of you guys say. the popularity thing, i find it kinda annoying coz everyones become so fake in an act to become popular. they also seem to fight and backstab a lot. but then again i go to an all girl school, backstabbing is a common thing. everyone just seem to go around looking for problems or creating them. dont get why they wanna live life so complicated.

[Arei]

Heh, 5th grade was the absolute worst year of my life too, its when we had moved that summer from the place where i had been in 1st-4th grade where I was established lol.

It was a big culture shock for me really (and we moved only 20 mins away, but thats not the point). At my old school, I was the queen. I was probably the most popular kid in school, I swear xD I had tons of really great friends, we were all good to each other and never betrayed one another. I was popular for all the /right/ reasons. I was smart (had the best grades in the school o.o;;;;;;;; ), I truely cared about my friends, I was the supreme guru of all things pokemon/digimon/anime/gaming/tcgs... you name any fads of the 90s/early 2000s, and I knew a bunch about it xD I included everyone and best of all, when people treated me like crap I had a bunch of people that would tear them down, and I was more then willing to do the same for them. I loved that, except for having a really bad teacher in 4th grade (ugh almost all of those teachers were rotten to the core horrible) I had a good life there, except for my very first year because I had just moved there (and it was 1st grade) and being little everyone just about knew each other so it took a year of getting to know people.

Then when we moved... I went from top of the world to under the pile of dung. My grades took a vertical nosedive (usualy passed, but i wasnt the straight A kid anymore) People treated me like I was some punching back. They'd hit and slap me outside at gym, and the teacher would tell me I probably did something to deserve it. I didn't know how to react, the people that said they were my friends betrayed me constantly, and the one guy who was nice to me I began to push away due to the desire to be liked by others. I hated it. The next 4 years when I lived there (so all of middle school) were better then that year but not by much. Still had people do undescribable things to me with teachers still telling me I deserved it when I never did anything.... gah I don't know how I handled it.

We moved again the summer before my freshman year and things have been a little better but not great. I've found more people that aren't rude to me, but they aren't exactly true faithful friends. I am now on depression medications which if I don't take them and have a break down, I feel like i'm going to rip myself apart.

High school is a waste of time. Except for history and french class, you're regurgitating all that you learned in middle school. Most of the time you don't do anything worth doing in class anyway, though my teachers this year are doing a better job at not doing that so much. I still am having trouble with my school work because when I feel stressed and messed up, I have no desire to touch it, therefore some of it may get neglected.

[yahhzoo]

The hardest thing about high school was dealing with all the "clicks" aka groups, where people just hung out with people like them. I never really understood that and because I never just hung out with one group in high school. I was friends with almost everyone, because I hung out with so many different people and groups instead of just being a jock. It made high school go by alot quicker and with less stress.

[boredomlover93]

a drifter. im one too.

whoa arei, you've got ti hard. i'd probably be worse off if i was you though. i usually cant handle these things well.

[Lady Ushio]

Well, continually speaking, the only things I wanted from my high school life was:

- hanging out with the right people to trust
- become more popular, smart and attractive and confident
- had a nice, young and fun life...

But.. it didn't happened at that time...So, that was suck.

- romantic stuff? I just wish I haven't fallen in love with someone in the first place. That was one of my biggest mistakes in life.

[Miss M]

I lost 2 of my classmates last year(November).... (yes... like dead much? ;_; )
it was because of that accident that happened while we were having our field trip... and it was suppose to be our last year in school...
we had our graduation last March 31, 2007, it was pretty sad to have a graduation without them... in the history of our school... that was the worst incedent...

and I lost my bestfriend... I told her I needed my space... and then, when I told her that maybe we could get back together again... it was too late...
she had a new group of friends now (they're also my friends but we're not close)...
we hardly talk or anything... and when they go out with them... she never invites me, I know that I seldom go out with them coz my parents are really strict... but she could've at least cared to ask me... by that way... I can think that she still values me as someone important to her... too late though... =/

and it's in my Senior year in high school where family ties have gone worst... especially between me and my father... >.<

Cliques... yeah we've got that here at my high school in Japan (it's an American school).From Ballers, Skaters, Populars, Normals, Asians, Half-Japanese, Nerds (not super geeky, but there's one whose really nerdy), Jocks (they're not stereotypes, they're actually pretty good guys) to Blacks, my school has pretty much every clique out there. The only reason I didn't put the cheerleaders on there, is because they hang out with different people other then their own kind. I fall into the category of Asians/Normal since my "clique" are just the regular kids. But, in my clique, we're all different in our own ways and we don't dress alike unlike some of the cliques.

[Guy]

Almost done with my junior year! So far, high school sucks. So many honors and AP classes to worry about! I swear, my honors and AP teachers have zero sympathy for the students and just deduct points from us at their pleasure. Argh, and I have to do well or else I will be the first person ever in my family history that didn't get into a prestigeous college.

Then, I have friendship problems. I cannot tell you how many times I have been fooled by people wanting to be my friend, while they are merely using me for other purposes. I even got some of my ex-friends suspended before.

[boredomlover93]

its like that for me too. strict parents who i know are just being over protective but it wrecks friendships. my parents dont even believe i should have friends as well! ==" i lost pretty good friends becasue of that becuase they think that you just dont want to go and that youre only using your parents as an excuse

[VinScythe]

Sweet. What is the school schedule like?

Only trouble here is that highschool is boring as hell :/

Our 'college' schedule was too early to be introduced in our highschools, now half the students hanging around campus don't even show up. All worked is packed into those few days you go to class and it's a real pain that many can't manage with. A large transition from our child seven hour school day. Worst part is now there's no good individual to crack a fight with(since the badasses are a no show).

Killing my experience, I might just draft myself to a fancy state university(offering 24 hour schedules) and get education over with. With that flexibility maybe I can get another job and buy something interesting, temporary apartment, better labtop, and a wii should pretty much keep me human through uni.

[Harumoni]

Uh, let's see. High school ...?

Well, firstly, I'm kind of apathetic. So, one day, I can suddenly lose interest in, or start hating my friends. Which, I've currently done twice so far [this school year], to about 7 or so friends. It's a problem, and I should really warn people not to become friends with me, but, it's how I am.

Also, I'm a junior, meaning, colleges colleges everywhere. I'm failing Pre-Cal horribly, and there's really no chance that I'll pass it. My grades are slipping in English, and I'm highly doubtful I'll find a good Graphic Design college that'll want me.

Anndd, lastly, I'm not really interested in popularity. [Lucky me!] I'm one of those "weird people". Because really, when was the last time you saw a black, lesbian goth walking down the street? XD I like my weird-ness though. It keeps the annoying people far, far away.

[Arei]

Harumoni: come to my school, we need uber people like you there :P

[BabyLoving]

Then, I have friendship problems. I cannot tell you how many times I have been fooled by people wanting to be my friend, while they are merely using me for other purposes. I even got some of my ex-friends suspended before.

Hey, if you got some friendship problems, you can post in the Friendship Problems thread. You can get alot of advice there. (:

Anyway, my school has cliques too, and its pretty violent too. >.< Every week, there's at least a quarrel taken place in the canteen. LOL. (: But the discipline tries to be strict and all, but it just fails. LOL. (: My troubles are the teachers who love to act cute and be biased against me. >.< Actually there's only one, but she irritates me ALOT. >.<

[Starlight]

I had a few minor high school problems back in thegood ol days(which was like a year ago). None of them are worth mentioning. All I gotta say is don't waste time trying to be popular. Just be urself and find a group of friends u really like to hang with. Don't form evil cliques either....only good ones.

[BabyLoving]

Kinda agree with Shinron. But then again, my clique are kinda popular. Like each of us know alot of people, and we often wave to people alot. LOL. (: Being popular is not really a waste of time, it is more like a term when people use it when you know alot of people, and they like you. (:

[yahhzoo]

High School= a very violent point in a persons life. Well at least around here there are always fights and arguements over pointless stuff. At two fights at day at my high school. I got into a couple some went well for me others didnt, but I regret ever getting in them. I realzie now they were over pointless shit. What are your high schools like?

[Starlight]

Mine was peaceful but boring. Boring school = lots drama+sissy push fights. People like to run their mouths instead of doing something.

[yahhzoo]

heh there was no sissy push fights in my school. Always fist fights or sometimes people would use weapons.

[Starlight]

u mean shanks and stuff? A few weeks ago, some guy was running around with a shank tryna cut people. this is at college.

[yahhzoo]

Yeah knives, shanks, bats, and sometimes even desks. All at a high school.

[Starlight]

At least their aren't any glocks yet.....

[yahhzoo]

Yeah thats a good thing. Never any guns were bought into my highschool.

[BabyLoving]

LOL. My school had a penknife injury lately. LOL. Though it wasn't caused by a fight, it's kinda weird that the juniors bring penknives to school. There are fists fights in my school too. But there is always someone stopping them. I'm never involved in the fight. LOL. (:

[boredomlover93]

awww. everyones schools a bad one... LOL ^^ but then again my schools an all girls one so no fist fights. just talking and the occasional slap, and if they get really pissed they usually call guys to hit them out of school. its so dramatic. you know like the ones on tv where they go:
"you stole my boyfriend, b****!"
"whatever! he liked me more"
and stuff like that. amazing that it actually happens in real life right?

[VinScythe]

Yeah thats a good thing. Never any guns were bought into my highschool.
should I consider myself lucky? here school students are so piss ass poor to afford guns rarely sold in the city, and no minor's going to leave the city for a crappy reason.

Although when you get to be an adult you'll find the town is extremely dangerous(so reowned that it's the subject for a new movie) So no once that happens screw that I'm leavin', nothing good will come from resorting to guns.
awww. everyones schools a bad one... LOL ^^ but then again my schools an all girls one so no fist fights. just talking and the occasional slap, and if they get really pissed they usually call guys to hit them out of school. its so dramatic. you know like the ones on tv where they go:
Every new place has their own mentality each offering different reasons for what they do and why they do it. In my place everyone has their thoughts set like mine(or should I say mine set like them), anyways everyone can grow into amazing potential, but basically what the hell for, it requires huge risks, and likely nothing interesting is at the other end. We're set at 'who's that punk down the stree that thinks he's more badass than me, I'm gonna beat the *** out of him'. The city is so competitive that it outdid its equal neighboor from the 1960s by now three times the population, and we're the ones running out of water!.

[7th captin]

everyone must have problems in high school.

i delt with a lot of jerks and i got beaten sometimes because most of them can't deal with me by themselves, so they call their friends and try tobeat me...but in the next day i arrive in the class i beat the crap out of him.

i also had problems with the english teachers because i always get high marks without studying and they thought that i was an arrogant guy and they tried to fail me a few times by giving me universities tests but i always passed them..

the best way to deal with that kind of teachers is to go straight to the principle and tell him about what's going on and if he don't help you go straight to the ministry of education.

as for friends....most of my class wanted me to be their friend because the want to help themselves in the tests...so i didn't have a lot of good friends...

that's what i have experienced in high school.

[boredomlover93]

vinscythe? do you live in australia by any chance?

7th captain's a nerd!! ^^ lucky you. reminds me of shikamari (i think thats his name) in naruto.

[7th captin]

7th captain's a nerd!! ^^ lucky you. reminds me of shikamari (i think thats his name) in naruto.

lol it's shikamaru.shikamari is a name of a user in CB.

[boredomlover93]

thats exactly what confused me =="

[.Rik-uh-shey]

meh my high school is pretty accepting. ive had some smooth sailing.

[Axl]

I wouldn't say mines too bad. Sure, I've sucked at some classes, had some relationship problems(which ended up getting me the girl), and some other "drama" but then again, who can say they've haven't had at least some trouble?

(Also, I'm an AP scholar. Shoot me. :) )

[jemz09]

Hmm.. I don't recall any fist fights that had happen inside the school .. and if ever something like that would happen.. you'll be like automatically brought to the discipline officer. Lol.. and of course.. it's not only fist fights inside the school .. it's also OUTSIDE the school .. I don't know how students can be like reported to the discipline officer about it though, guess our school has a lot of spies =/

[.Rik-uh-shey]

yah if you get into a fight in my school your brought out with handcuffs and go straight to the police station.

[Miss M]

I sorta dun like to hang around gay ppl coz of my experience when I was just a sophomore...
we had this "Student Empowerment" where students get to be teachers/staffs... etc... for 2 days..
I empowered my Social Studies teacher... while I was having a class... he was talking alot so I called his name and stuff... then he got angry... =/
after the empowerment he said mean stuffs about me which weren't true...
he saw that I wasn't making much thought about it.... so he put signs pointing at me saying that I was a whore/***** etc... V_V
so... I dun like to be too close with gay ppl anymore...

in our school... all we ever worry about is the competition on the other year levels... since I was a Senior... we despised the Juniors... and... yeah... very much....lol.

[Arei]

I seriously hope I can switch schools... I'm half-tempted to go to one of those work at your own pace places, where I can get alot more done in 4 hours then the 7 hour public school day :P This place is supposed to be for kids with school troubles, but theres nothing about those without troubles being in. I think its only basic ciriculum and I want my US History AP XPPP I just want to go to a school where I can work as fast as I want to without waiting for the lazyasses to catch up (98% of all bad-grades come from slacking rather then a disablity, please if you have a disibility get all the help you need), and get help on what I need when I need it rather then having to miss all of the tutorials (because i can /never/ get to early morning ones, ever)

And I don't want to deal with the people anymore. Can't do it. No matter how nice or respectful you are to these people... so ungrateful and stupid.... @_@ And all the people that say they're your friend but ignore you half of the time... nuh-uh, I am through. I know that there are going to be alot of people like that in life, but I don't want to be in a place where they ALLLLLLLLL are like that. If they're not that, they can't hold up a decent conversation, are very immature, or just on a totally different level then me. There are some decent people at my school, but I have difficulty standing them most of the time xD They're on a way lower level then I am at... everything. They're nice, and I'm nice in return, but they lack the capacity to be good friends. Or some of them are so busy or simply don't care enough. Then I get made fun of for being nice to these people. See what I mean? Its just not worth it, dammit it all that my b est friends all moved far away and/or its been hell keeping in touch with them/seeing them at all.

Can't stand it... need sane intellegent people now.... and a REAL education where I acctually LEARN something @_____@!!!!!

[Lisa.]

I think I had a pretty easy time on high school, compared to others.. so I have nothing to complain.

I didn't like my personality on high school, even though it's just a year ago.. I've changed alot back then, I was pretty much the b*tch that could've teased you.. but people change, thank god.

[MishaSan]

I had trouble mostly in Elemantary and middle school, in the 6th and 7th grade. I was bullied and made fun of cuz I was a nerd. I used to sit alone in lunch cuz no one would sit with me, sometimes I would sit with the teacher. In middle I was pushed agianst the lockers and they would have punched me if I havent kicked one of them. I was robbed. My friend told the teacher and they got in trouble. I would also sometimes sit alone or go to the library. Once some girl thought i was talking shit about her and she wanted to fight me and i was so scared i started to cry, but she never did anything. Also [I swear Im finishing lol] a stick up girl was talking about how rich she was and stuff and she would rub it in my face saying that i was never going to have what she had. So I acted like total brave cuz i was sick of her and siad i wanted to fight and she ended up with more people to fight me. But some girls from my bus that was older than me heard what happened and defended me.

[Shezmu]

I think i'm in high school now.. we have a different school system here but i'm 16 y/o so its something like high school i guess =p

anyway, I have a pretty good time here, the lessons are boring as hell but i have alot of friends and most people tend to like me =) Sometimes **** happens though, a couple of weeks ago I almost got into a really bad situation.. I'm rather short-tempered so i get into fights every now and then =( a couple of weeks ago this guy was really annoying me and i told him to shut up or i'd beat the living hell outta him... he wanted to fight and when i stood up he called like 3-4 friends of him. (ok, he was like 5''6 120lbs and i'm
6''2 and 185 lbs, but i still thinks its cowardice) the problem was that none of my friends were there and things were starting to look real bad for me but luckily this teacher came along and seperated us. If I see those guys in school the always look at me really agressive but they won't try anything unless i'm alone i think. Srry fo this long post i'm done now =p

I had a simular experience 5th-8th grade... some of the rumors or pranks people would pull on me... really nasty/hurtful. And really, really, really stupid xD (most of them done by the most retarded people in class) Except for first days of school I havent had to sit by myself at lunch, but I always feel like I'm not included at my table until I force myself into conversations to say "hey, i'm here, you say you're my friends so talk to me". Just because I sit there and doodle anime and cartoons WHEN IM FREAKIN BORED does NOT mean I want to talk about it. Hell no. I hardly talk about anime or manga at school, but if I start to people stop me like I talk about it all the time. Geez, I hate how these people are so shallow. Give me a chance to start a real conversation before judging what I like to talk about it. I can talk about anything really... cept people's boyfriends/girlfriends too much, hate talking about that crap.

I've changed a bit since middle school, because I realized that in high school, who I am there will make a big impression on the next school year. But I changed for the better, not to become another one of those people who are "just like everyone else" in the crowd.

[Arei]

I think I figured out a bit of my problem... Im such an old maid =_=

[MishaSan]

I think I did too but you know what the girls that bullied me now have to grow up and take care of thier kids, Cuz I know like three of them that already had kids and thier my age 21. I hope they dont teach the babies to bully thier peers.

[Yuffie]

Usually when you enter a new environment, you won't really blend yourself into it. I entered my high school last year, and I really blend in fast. But sometimes I get bullied by my friends for nothin' TT^TT

[davidn15]

i got suspended because my brother's friends were giving me and my friends crap. and i pushed through two of them and got caught by their dean.

on the good side. new crush, but she's my friend so i'm screwed

plus my teachers might go on strike june 8

[Kray]

Really, that's all High School is. DRAMA. Especially if you goto a public school.

Cliques, Bullies, Stupid rules, Staff, Bad and Good times.

So happy I'm outta there.
Yet, at the same time...

If I could go back - I would

[Aerias]

Wow Arei, you literally took the words out of the mouth, I have the same problem at my high-school. Only thing I've found I can do is take ever advanced class I can, so at least I'm in a class with people who are decently intelligent. I have a few good friends, but usually I have to deal with people who want to "be my friend" so I can help them, since I'm the "smart kid". Ah well, I just bring a book (It doesn't really matter what genre it is) and read it when I'm bored, helps drown out the rest of the world for a bit...

At least at our school you can somewhat be in control of your education though, my request to test out of US History for next year was granted, I just have to study over the Summer and get a B or better on a test on the material.

Didn't mention this earlier, but I'm a Freshman at the moment

[Silentstrike]

Hmm... I think my story's a bit different.

From 1-4 grade, I was really popular/happy, hang out with friends a lot. That's around the time my friend I'd known for like 8 years stopped calling me altogether, and kinda left me out to dry. He didn't ever tell me, which was maybe why I'd had depression when I was 11-14. 5-8 grade were aweful... I had like, no one to hang out with on the weekends, and I was not liked by nearly everyone. I made bad choices to stand out and look cool, which totally backfired. Heh, like the time I kissed a girl I liked. Really bad move. XD

Anyway, I went to high school, and I really did a 180. I grew, in maturity - height. So, I'm friends with the same people that used to hate me in Jr. High. It was so weird hating them early this freshman year, now that I'm friends, it's like filling a large gap in my life. and I've lived happily ever after, with a nice social standing. This one girl I used to go to school with, who I've crushed on for like an entire year actually talks to me! (^_^)

I just hope she likes me XD. Yeah, so high school's been a lot better than I thought.

My advice- don't run away from people you don't like/don't like you.

[Yuffie]

Nah, I didn't run away from them. Instead I hang around them 8D

What I hate about my school is.. The teachers. OMFS they like to pick on me. GGRRR~ - -;

I guess I was just lucky not to have had an extremely bad time in high school but I know people who have had it a lot worse. It got so bad for this one student in my class that he resorted to committing suicide. I didn't really know him too well but I had seen him around. I never thought he was so depressed. The really sick thing about the whole situation is people were still talking sh*t about him, cracking jokes, they basically didn't show any remorse especially since they were probably the people that drove him to it... It was just done in bad taste. I don't know, people can be really mean sometimes but usually that just stems from one's own insecurities that they just tend to lash out at others to make themselves feel better. I guess the only advice I can give to people that are having a tough time is just be patient, High school can be rough but you have to remember it won't last forever. Just be strong and know that it will get better.

Do I have something better to do than rant about my high school years? Uh, probably. Anyway, here goes:

I loved high school. Best time of my life.

I had been pretty lonely all the way through elementary school, and in the middle school I had lost all hope of ever finding even one friend who would be interested in same kinds of things as I was. Well, I lived in a rural village of 5000 people. It was easy being different.

For high school, I moved away and went to a school that required pretty high grades to get in. Also, the school had a reputation of being an assembly place for all kinds of weirdos. I found myself friends, enjoyed my studies and even got into a serious relationship. Also, started using net more and found even more interesting people. I only rarely saw anyone being bullied in my school - and I'm sensitive to these kind of things. Cliques existed, of course, and there were some who were left outside them, but I think that's a phenomenon that can't be avoided where ever 150+ people gather.

The school system in my country is a bit different, though, than for example in America. We start elementary school the year we turn seven, so every one is a year older that there when high school starts. Also, about half the people go to vocational schools after the middle school, and that half includes most of the worst kind of bullies and troublemakers. I don't know how that goes in other systems? And yeah, by what I've heard from my friends, I was also extremely lucky with my choice of school.

In response to the first post;
I never had problems with making friends, it was just the “popular” girls that hated me.
Why?
Because when I first arrive at a new school, I would instantly become popular.
I don’t know why, but that’s how it has always been with me.
And the problem is:
I can’t stand being hated, and I don’t know why either
But in the end,
they see me for who I am and end up embracing me too ^ ^

Another thing that I can’t cope with is stress, studying too hard and homework.
I am one of those people that needs to get A’s or 100% in EVERY piece of work I do
So you can see how hard I work in those areas

Bleh… this is my last year of school, Yr 12 VCE, and I’m currently commiting suicide by studying too hard haha
It’s all good

Secondary life is so fun,
You muck around from the years 7 to 9
Then you cut down and get busy
But being in a Private school, adds on to the word “stress”
Giving you more of a headache than you could handle
Now… it’s just a matter of winning =D

Woa >.>
I typed an essay =P

Damn, I'm the only social loner who studies in his past time at school, huh? Lol, j/k. Friends are overrated. High school certainly demonstrated that to me. I'm not done with high school (but over half done with it), and so far, I've never had such a miserable time in my whole life.

Today: Got to school at 7 am. Left school at 6 PM. Only had a 20 minute lunch break in between. Stupid AP testing.

Yeah, some people get it really bad, even though they don't deserve it. Some people can be such jerksthat it makes you wonder "HOW THE F*CK DO THEY MAKE FRIENDS?!". Believe me, there's way too many people like that Those people always seem to have the "better life" that they don't deserve, but all the shit they've done to people comes back and bites them in the ass for... being an ass.

Hmm... well some people called me weird for being an anime fan.
There wasnt many anime fans back then as today now so yeah. I only had
few friends like 4 closest. 3 liked anime as well and 1 was kinda gettting
there.

I am not one of the popular kids so yeah not even that bright. I am just
average and I dont get that much trouble I just do my studies and that
is it. Sometimes people calls me "kill joy" cause I wont do stuff that are
against the rules...=\

[Mikado]

Some dudes like to fight at my school, and I'm totaly no fan of it. So when I meet them, it's uh-oh! Crap, I hate those types. Luckely my friends don't call me weird for liking Manga.

[M-50]

lol a dude in my class goes around saying that i watch hentai when i am actually watching bleach.

[Dreams]

Some people are just jerks. You can't help it, I don't know why, but they always act like jerks. Do they want to get some attention? Do they want to act cool?
I just ignore them. Because in the past, I didn't. If someone was acting bad and was calling me names, I would start to fight. Because in the past I did alot of damage to other peoples because they were acting bad, I've quit fighting, and started to ignore them.

Best way, just ignore them. And don't start fighting.

I just started a new school, and i get on with everybody except the chavs.

[Anubisrage]

Well thinking bout it... I miss high school...
Yeah it wasnt very nice while I was there but when i left... I realized how cool it was... its like the one place where most of your friends are with you all day... I didnt have problems with jerks or bullies (Cause they saw me angry once) so it wasnt that hard, and schoolwork was a breeze (except mathematics, I suck at that) and I slept through most of the lessons anyway... Swear to God.
I was a jerk in a way cause most of the nicknames people had, I made up...
But I didnt stress on them... Like we started calling one of my black friends Chikita Banana, and I always said it to his face, it was cool between us, but if someone said it in a mean voice or someone Chiki didnt like we would all stand up for him... He also called me nigga, while i am white... So guys in high school now... ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS.
(And one more cool thing about school... Its also the one place where so many potential dates are at once...) so enjoy yourself everyone.
