Did you like High School?

I didn't really like high school although it was much better than middle school. College is MUCH better than both to me =).
 
No. I'm not cool enough to look back on high school and say it was anything more than deplorable.

While I was the kind of fun loving freak that got normal people through the day, I couldn't stand the immaturity in a bunch of ways.

1) If I don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend, my life will end! Therefore, I must be on the search for a new one at all times!
2) "Why don't you do that then?" "that won't work because (insert lame reason here)" "well what about this?" "that won't work because (insert another lame reason here)" "Why don't you just tell a teacher then?" "He won't do anything!"
3) Pregnant. Teenagers.
4) Teenagers dating men twice their age.
 
senior year goes by HELLA fast. but it's exciting just knowing after that last bell that you are done for good...

which was last friday for me btw

if you have any questions about senior year and stuff like that then feel free to hit me up since it's still preeeeetty fresh in my mind :)

also graduation ceremony is this saturday

woot woot woooooooooooot

but really, you won't miss high school that much. if anything just the friends (if you are sociable/have any). i've heard from everyone that college is waaaaay better and from my experiences on campus already (smash tourney, library, etc), it really is. :)
 
Steeler is right. You really won't miss school that much. Actually, you will be relieved and proud that you made it through 12 years with your sanity.
A note to future seniors: Have fun your senior year. Try and do everything possible that is available to seniors (The Senior Picnic, Skipday, Senior Trips, Prom, all of it, because senior year really does go by fast, and you might regret it in the end, if you missed anything. Also try to spend as much time with your friends as possible, because it really is hard to say goodbye to them all once it's all over.

Also Congrats Steeler. So how does it feel to be finally free? :D
 
Right now I'm a senior in high school (graduating in a month) and I can definitely say that I loved high school. For me high school got better each year, both academically and socially. I switched high schools right after my sophomore year (moved from Michigan to California) and I thought it was going to be tough to adjust and make new friends. Turned out to be one of the best things ever as all of my awkwardness from middle school (which some people still held against me at my old school) was a thing of the past and I was free to be anyone I wanted to be.

So far senior year has been amazing. It has really flown by, people were not kidding when they say that senior year is gone in a flash. Most of my friends in college say that they like college way better than high school, so if that is the case than I am going to love college. I am still worried however about going to college as I feel like I really have high school figured out, kinda like I already have mastered the game and now the rules are about to change on me.
 
Eh. I liked it at first.

The longer I was in high school I realized more and more that I wasnt learning shit, and that I was in the middle of the biggest popularity contest ever. The kids who played into that were miserable, the kids who concentrated on the books way too hard had "no life" (shit, how much of a life can you have when you spend most of it in the same rooms every day. NO high schooler has a life, their life is high school. TRAP.) I did what the fuck I wanted by the time I was out. So lets say I enjoyed SKIPPING high school, moreso than high school itself. Yeah.
 
Damn I'm young... I'm in 10th grade now, and hate it. I feel like my school is incredibly mundane and the teachers are horrible. There are way too many students attending my school - 3,600 total - and it just makes things like getting to know people difficult.

And every hot girl is a vapid bitch, that makes dating difficult.
 
Wow, as somebody that graduated from high school several years ago, I can share my experiences.

I would say that the only year of high school I lied was my senior year. Even in the middle of nowhere in central West Virginia, high school is just mainly a popularity contest. You do get a good eduacation if you are in the right school with some good teachers and in a school that isn't too big (luckly, mine only had 650 students), but that is always in the back of your mind in terms of importance. Trying to be popular, looking good, hooking-up with the hottest girls in school, getting laid, and fun activities are always in the person's mind before the education.

My first 3 years were just horrible. I was one of the smart ones, and everybody knew that with all the awards I won. Yet, I was in an interesting 'class' among my peers. I wasn't hated by anyone, because I was very nice to everyone, and most people respected that; but nobody really liked me, because I wasn't very social and involved any many school activities. But for those 3 years, it just honestly felt like it was a game. You wanted the good looking women, but wouldn't get a chance to talk to them; and rumors spread faster than a wildfire and people would instantly believe them. Basically, the moment you walk in the school, you are automatically labled to a certain group of the school. It sucks, and it's very difficult to get off of it.

However, at senior year, it gets pretty good. You are the heads of the school, and you get special privileges and activities. Plus, you get more respect from the younger classes of students. Senior year was easily the best year of school, and if I wouldn't mind going back if I was able to repeat my senior year over again. Otherwise, I hated it.
 
Pff, I live in England, where it is called "Secondary school" and before that is "Primary school". I think secondary school sucks hardcore, people are quick to bite your head off, and no one can go a day without being made fun of for something. Even "perfect" people who have nothing wrong with them are chased around all day having stuff said to them like "you have nothing wrong with you, you are a freak." If you tell someone you like Pokemon, and you live in England, you are dead meat. I fucken hate England. America is so much better.

Or maybe it is the people I meet in secondary school that live in England that I hate, not the country as a whole. I may of made an ass of myself in the above, but that will not change how much I despise and loath EVERYONE that goes to my secondary school. There is no way to escape torment, whoever you are, when you are in secondary school, friends hate each other, and enemies hate each other more. Just existing is enough to get you a good few years of torment. Why can't I just move to America? Oh, wait, I forgot that I am 14 and "cannot make decisions yet" (well, I suppose so). What I really do not get is this guy in my form (class for you Americans who are reading this) who is fat, dyslexic, bad at sports (unless it need strength), dumb at maths, dumb at science, and just plain annoying but he also makes fun of people who are overweight, he is racist, he calls anyone as dumb as him retarded, and he jumps on people, why? I do not know. The worst part is he is REALLY strong and always finds some way of exploiting anybody. I wish he would fucken die. (sorry, I like spelling fucking like that.) I cannot wait to get out of secondary school and into college, because there will be no friends to miss. There is absolutely no way to free yourself from England's teenagers, apart from time.

I hate England's teenagers, I just want to get them chained up, burn their hands and feet, whip them with the Catter 9 tails (Ninetails got its name from the Roman whip, the Catter 9 tails, which, as you guessed had nine tails, but also had shards of sharp broken glass and rocks embedded in them, so after one lash, the whip has to be teared out of the flesh, bringing skin and blood with it.), cover their arms and legs with burning oil (this is all happening while they are chained up), set their hair on fire and put it out after a while (as you can see, I am doing my best to inflict pain while keeping them alive, so I will probably add some tubes to them giving them food and water), then get them out of their chains one by one, and stamp the shit out of them for one hour each, chain them back up, slit them for ages with burning knives so they can get immense pain but not lose blood, keep them chained on a table, put a metal tin above each person's stomach, and slow heat them up until they get a nice, burnt out mark, pull out their hair, then **** their **** with a *** on their***** **** and ****** using **** ****** ****** **** mother ***** pain ***** so they have to **** sideways... Then to kill them I will get a sword, chop half of their scalp and skull of, and leave them there, sobbing and dieing slowly and painfully.

I really hate it when people make fun of "nerds", God, seriously, how can you make fun off someone who will be more successful than you in life?!

P.S 10 trillion points to the post above.

Above poster: Smogon is not your livejournal. Rant mode off, please.

chaos... that post has made you my new hero... I'm feeling impressionable at the moment.

Anyway's I went to school in England, wasn't too bad. I was never the popular kid, but one thing I noticed after school all the pettiness and stuff washes away. Yeah I was content with my school when I was there, now I look back on it with fond memories of both the bad and good.
 
Im finishing my second year right now, and there are a few things ive noticed.
There are definate fast and slow parts of the year. It starts off fast, but after Christmas break it slows down a lot. When the spring tennis season kicks off, it speeds up until mid-may, but the last few weeks of school are agonizing. Also, the more you do to keep yourself occupied, the faster it goes.
 
Given I spent half my time at school as "the weird psychotic guy" who was known for a mix of academic ability and short tempered inclination to violence, no I do not miss school.
 
I'm in 10th grade right now, and I would say i like high school so far. None of the work is really too dificult (although I do go to a very good school), and I get tons of free time to just do whatever. While I'm not necessarily friends with everybody in my grade, I would say I am atleast friendly with the majority of them, and very close friends with a bunch, with only maybe a handful of people who I would say I actually dislike.

I don't know, I always figured it was just a stereotype about how awful and traumatizing high school is, because it doesn't seem that way at all at my school. I'm very involved in my school's swim team and jazz band, and I've made alot of really good friends through them, and I have good teachers and classes, so yeah, so far I guess high school has been great. The only not so great part is trying to get into colleges :/
 
I hated it. Didn't fit in, socially awkward, didn't care about the stuff people liked, weird quirks = disaster.

I wouldn't have minded if people left me alone, unfortunately, they made it a point to shit on me.

The thing that annoyed me was that high school in general doesn't really do too much in terms of preparing you for "life" and is too much about useless extraneous bullshit than things that are actually useful.

Compulsory education is fail anyway imo; homeschooled kids absoutely destroy public school kids in just about everything
 
Wow this thread is still going?

Anyway, I guess I should say that college is MUCH better now that I live on campus and have started to play football. What a difference a year makes.
 
Freshmen year was actually fun. :)
Most of the freshmen were immature idiots though. >:|
They always did stupid things and acted like they were in 6th grade.
But other than that, it was fun, made friends quickly with higher class men, mostly seniors and juniors. :D
They were pretty cool though because they weren't idiots like most of the freshmen.
Going to be a sophomore, I'll see how that goes since at least 40% of my friends are gone now.
 
Freshmen right now and it's been pretty fun (gonna be a soph next year). Hate the classes though, they're boring as hell. Everything else is good.
