Did you like High School?

Ness

I always hear some people saying how high school was like prison or hell to them, and others say it was great.

Did you like it?

Myself, I loved it. Middle School was a bit meh, mainly because my elementary school friends were growing up and becoming more self centered and caring too much about what others thought of them and wanting to be popular.

But High School was great. The stupid self centered-ness of Middle School went away, and I played football and have friends from football that I will be friends with till the day I die. We were like brothers. Even outside of football high school was great. All of my friends, good teachers, good classes and fun(especially senior year).

I miss high school so bad, and wish I could go back. When I returned for homecoming this year I broke down because I missed my friends and football. College is very meh. I go to a university full of rich stuck up snobs who are there to party and not go to class. I had a C+ average first semester yet that was good enough for top 10%. Sad. I lived on campus first semester but decided to move home and commute due to high costs and ease for my job. I haven't found my niche in college yet, because of this. I won't start football until 2008 so hopefully when I start playing football I can find it.
 
I liked it then, I am fucking glad I'm not there anymore. I went to my old high school's homecoming dance in 2005 and ffs, as soon as I walked in, 3 girls were crying because their boyfriend broke up with them. Then a group of freshman came up to me and were all "oh you're cute" and I said, "how old are you?" and I heard the "f" sound and said "no, shut up, go away, you'll get me in trouble."

I do miss how simple hs was though. Just not all the idiocy. If I could meet myself when I was 15 or so, I'd fucking kick my own ass.
 
I have fond memories of high school, or rather "secondary school" and "sixth form". Perhaps I look back through tinted glasses, but by and large those were good times. When I see old friends, we always get nostalgic and laugh about the shenanigans of yesteryears. So many anecdotes and so much drama... =]

My school was relatively small, so everyone knew everyone else. I was a high achiever and built up a good rapport with teachers; I am still in contact with several, including a couple on Facebook no less. Being top set for everything did not mean I was not troublesome, indeed it just meant that we could get away with anything.

Things started to go a little pear-shaped when I was 17; I did no work for the following two years and underachieved relative to my potential. Regardless, I was appointed deputy head boy (feel free to laugh). I think there was simply too much freedom in sixth form and too many distractions. Although I had a habit of mischief, I was a good student overall. In total, I only received one detention, and gave out two! lol
 
I am still in high school and let me tell you, mine has a lot to hate about. High food and dance prices, only two dances a year, few school activities, plus there are more races in this school than the UN. People stay in "cliques" so to say. Jocks with jocks, black people with black people, nerds with nerds, you get the drift. Luckily I also go to a magnet school for half the day where it's a tightly-knit community (24 kids in my grade including me, hah!) and that part is good. The other thing is the school itself. The place looks like a dungeon, with few windows in the hallways, my goodness. I wish we could move :cry:
 
I absolutely hated 9th and 10th grade, but 11th was pretty good, and I loved 12th grade (this past year, for me).

Also you guys have windows in your hallways?
 
I thought 9th and 10th grade were boring, but this year has been really fun :-) I think senior year will be just as good, except with a lot less pressure!
 
I disliked it until I was in the 12th grade where I actually made a few friends. I was never really a social person etc so it sucked ass for me. However I dont hate it, just wish I left there with a little bit more knowledge and actually had some fun. I suggest this to anyone thats still in there.. DO SOMETHING.
 
it had its moments but overall it seems like i learned relatively nothing aside from what my physics teacher and psychology teacher went over.
 
I enjoyed High School (I also put the high in high school), as it was lots of fun. Between Bowling and Basketball, the four years just flew by, and it was tons of fun. If I had a do over, though, I would do a lot of things different.


Yes, We Had Windows.
 
Things I miss from high school:

- sports, you'll never really have that much fun again
- certain people who I've lost contact with
- being able to smoke pot all the time without fear of it ruining any job/career aspirations
- most importantly of all... the SIMPLICITY of life

As for everything else? It can fuck off.
 
I had the coolest English and History teachers...they were both brilliant. Sarcastic and witty, but they also really knew their stuff. In fact, my history teacher even invited us to a big party at his house at the end of the year. Super awesome!

I didn't talk much and I would've been your typical quiet kid BUT I did have artistic talent so I was basically the art guy of my school and made a lot of friends because of that.
 
Gah, I hated high school. Still do. Middle school, too.

Let's see. I hated middle school with a passion, was smart enough to get into a fairly prestigious magnet school, the Academy as it's usually known (I was attending the engineering aspect of it, but it's mostly known as AAST) in Bergen County, NJ.

I found that the Academy was just about the most miserable place I could possibly be (although to be fair, I was introduced to pokemon there, so without the Academy there'd likely be no Smogon for Laz!), and after two years of getting into increasing amounts of trouble, I was kicked out at the end of my sophomore year.

Moved to Maryland, went to a high school that I hated slightly less, but still hated for my last two years. Stopped going to school for a large portion of my school year both times, and as such failed so many classes that I just barely managed to graduate on time (and even so with an abysmal GPA).

College was another story, and college was very important to me (although I just found out today my school is closing - not sure how I feel about that).

But middle and high school? Dude, it fucking sucked.
 
im about to be a senior.
- easy access to cute girls.
- simple way of life.
- skate everyday.
- chill with freinds.
- im lovin it.

cant wait to get the fuck out though.
 
I don't really like high school at the moment, but that's mainly because I've become too inclined with getting good grades since it counts now, and have been hanging around/goofing off with my friends a LOT less.

Still, being 12 and in high school is tough because all the girls want those college guys : ( I guess I'll just stick to 6th grade girls...
 
I am not really sure my life will ever get as good as the second semester of senior year, everything seemed to be 99.5% perfect.
 
I have mixed feelings about it, for sure.

I averaged about 30-40 absences per year. There's no question I hated the 'school' part of high school, but there's a lot of other stuff that goes along with it.

I had a nice recurring theme most of the time I was in high school that there was perpetually major drama going on(once getting to the point of rape) between my friends, and even though the problems never directly involved me, I was normally the one who had to try to solve them. This tended to be pretty stressful and I think is a large part of why I ended up falling into that little WoW addiction there; it served as an adequate escape.

The bad was bad, but the good was almost equally good... the summer of(and the summer before, if it counts) my freshman year was really good, as were bits and pieces of the next three years. The summer preceding my Senior Year was pretty wonderful, leading into my Senior Year which was absolutely terrible (my best friend moved five hours away to play Hockey for most of the year, Rape drama, assorted other problems)...

I would do a lot of it differently if I could, but I learned a lot. I'm not sure if I can say I liked it, though. I'm indifferent to it, I guess.
 
I don't really remember 10th grade because it wasn't particularly inspiring. 11th grade was getting better and I have fond nostalgia for that time (rose-colored glasses?). I remember 12th grade being as perfect as perfect could get. It was around that point that I realized that having a pair of balls would get you far and, man, it sure did. I also had really great teachers that made for some really great classes, one of which I still wish I could go to every single day.

I had my angst but, who didn't? I think that I'm not even looking back with rose-colored glasses when I say that 12th grade was about as perfect as life could get.
 
i fucking hate high school, it's just...high school. and i can't wait to get the hell out of it although i cant see anything better happening either ;(
 
Guess my math competence after 12'th grade. Algebra 1. I've been victimized by shitty course selections...

"oh hey, Mike had math last year and he hated that!" *types in irrelevant microsoft word academic* "DURR IM MAKING GOOD CHOICES FOR HIM"


Personally, I'm glad to having the privilege of going to a college that will make you LEARN THINGS....
 
I absolutely ABHORED middle school.
High school could have potentially went SO much better than it did, though I can admit, that I did enjoy it at times.
(There are a lot of things that I wish I had done though.. or not have done in some cases)

Live and Learn as they say (That's what high school was for me)

FOR ALL OF YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL -
enjoy it while you still can, hang out with your friends, and chill.
grab a girl, or a guy... and go do stuff together, yea.
It's your time.
 
9th and 10th Grade = joke. 11th grade is hell. =/ SAT's and AP's are so hard. Say good bye to you're tenth grade summer.
 
I didn't really like high school but I never really experienced Sophomore/Junior/Senior years so it could just be that Freshman year is just incredibly boring. Seriously, being 1 of 2 freshman in a mostly Junior class is bad mojo. It's even worse if you're not the one they like.
