Did you like High School?

My first year in secondary school was a mixed bag...I was still finding my place and things were quite scary but I did have a lot of fun.
In year 8 I made most of the friends I have today and until year 10 things were really good - I did well in schoolwork, I mucked around a lot, gained a lot more self-confidence and even enjoyed the drama of my first romance. My final year was absolute hell - the aftermath of that 'romance' destroyed my self-confidence, something I'm only now really beginning to overcome.

Sixth form's been kinda meh so far - I don't have much in common with most of the people there and there's not as much room to have fun, which sucks but is inevitable.

I will always look back on these years (the exception being year 11) very fondly, they were the times when we realised that we had no responsibilities and were old enough to abuse it.
 
Blech. I hate high school. When I was in elementary school, I had loads of friends and didn't get bullied. But now, woohoo. All of my old friends just stopped hanging out with me because I don't smoke weed like they all do now, and pretty much just told me to leave them alone.

Like, there would be five of us, and one kid would say, "Oh, you three, we have to go do something!" as he pointed to the three other kids, then they left, leaving me sitting alone in the cafeteria. If I followed, they would just say, "Sorry, only four allowed," or something of the sort. I made some new friends with other misfit kids, but it still hurt. Kinda shitty, as now I get paper balls thrown at my head and treaten like I'm completely unimportant. Like, stealing my seat in class when I get up because they want to talk to a friend and telling me to fuck off as if I'm being a nuisance when I ask for it back.

All in all, I fucking hate high school and want to leave as soon as possible. I'm only just going into grade 10, so still three long years.
 
I loved it, especially 11th and 12th. I was blessed with some awesome teachers. Who would think that senior English would be a fun class. I was laughing hysterically nearly everyday from my teacher. The same goes for my Calculus teacher. Not only were they funny, but they were good teachers.

In the 11th grade, my whole 4th period (which normally included lunch) was awesome. I was a teacher's aide for the computer programing teacher. AND there was no class that period. So, it basically turned into an 1.5 hour lunch for me. I could go eat whenever I wanted, and I got along with that teacher really well.
 
I'm in high school right now. Just finished my freshman year, now I'm moving up to 10th grade. I'm on Junior Varsity Football Team at my school too. This year should be interesting.

A-fucking-men, man. Although not as extreme I see the same things and often are affected by them ;/. High school sucks. We'll get through it ;d.
 
high school was on some coolness... but i chilled in highschool with most of the same fools i went through elementary and middleschool with at the same time.......

so it was cool to me cuz im still cool with all my motha effas from the past... except like maybe 3 people.... so highschool was cool with me... but i used to be a bad ass kid as a youngin...
 
Middle School was more or less dongs, largely because I was really obsessed with not being nerdy, etc. Then again, even if I wasn't, Middle School is still dongs. Not a lot you can do about it.

Freshman year was extermely bleh, as I spent most of it trying to convince a friend of mine not to kill himself while playing messenger between him and his crush. That sucked. Also, tons of pointless social drama surrounding me, along with the fact that I never saw my old group of friends. The actual classes were pretty good, though. My World History teacher was the coolest person on the earth, and I liked my other classes, too.

Sophomore year was a lot of fun, though, I dropped the "OGM I'M ONLY MYSELF BEING IMAGE CONSCIOUS IS BAD GRRRRRR" thing, while not being image obsessive. Just sorta rollin' with it makes things a lot more enjoyable. I don't spend time with too many people outside of school (outside of my girlfriend), but I'm more or less friends with everyone, rather than having a really strong group of friends and no one else. Also, I'm heavily involved in Forensics and a bunch of other stuff, which is a lot of fun.

Junior year might suck (I'm going into it in the fall, I'm younger than most of you) but w/e.

My high school had a lot of drugs, but I went to UCSC after that. Yeah. My life is always surrounded by a haze of smoke.

I'm going to UBC :D

I dunno man, I guess I've never really known anyone who got really bullied. Let me rephrase that: I've never seen someone get bullied who didn't bring it on themselves. I'm not making any judgment calls on anyone in this thread, but people generally don't get singled out for nothing. High school's a great environment for sociable people, and I guess a not-so-great one for people who aren't. =/

yeah they do, that is what bullying is ;/

i've seen it all the time and I get it too sometimes, it's just dumb crap you have to put up with
 
For me, High School was a total waste. Didn't learn much, didn't do much. I basically learned just enough to jump into college, where the real education lies. Sometimes I look back on how pitiful public education is in the US and cry.
 
Oh men i simply loved it, actually i wish i could be repeat the whole last year, the friends, the parties, the girls, too bad it is impossible. However, i still see my friends from high school a lot ^^
 
I didn't love it and I didn't hate it, it was just high school. I built my popularity more around my athletic achievements instead of who I was and that really did me no good. In comparison to college, high school sucked. College has been great, and I'm turning 21 in 15 days, plus I just moved into town (nearer campus, as opposed to living 20 min. away) so my senior year will be even better.
 
Ive made some great friends, but 90% of the kids in my highschool were either really stupid or always high. Meh experience was meh. College > High School.
 
High School is pretty fun. Everyone lets you do what you want, you can pretty much have like 4 hours to just chill when your a senior and plus all the teachers are kind and witty. Its not like middle school where you get suspended for every little thing. Mostly just try to make friends early. I live and hang out with some pretty cool people before i came to high school so I knew a lot of people and it was pretty cool. sorry bout you guys who have it tough but i really love high school.
 
Idk, secondary for me was kind of a mixed bag, maybe more bad than good? In primary I had a bunch of really good friends and I was pretty popular, but secondary was/is odd I guess.
I was never really cool or immature enough to hang with the popular kids but in my classes (higher tier classes) I really enjoyed myself because of a few people and a group of girls I liked a lot, but after falling out with them and spending too much time gaming, I've found myself on my own more often, which can sometimes be abit depressing, even though lessons are generally better. I've definitely come to realize how important it is to be sociable but it annoys me that I'm not really :/
So I guess I can feel for you guys in "rougher" (maybe that sounds condescending but my school is just full of chavs theres no drugs and the like) schools, because I reckon that the people here are still pretty pleasant.
 
One time in highschool I went to try out for football but these kids told me tryouts were over for the day and they told me id have to come back the next day so i did but they jumped me instead and tied me to a chair and shaved my head and my legs and my armpits then they put lipstick and other make up on me and a wig and took pictures then after that i was forever known as shaved head girl then in grade 11 i was depants during a half time band show so my highschool years wasn't so great.

um..yah ok...sorry lol

luckily i go to a private school, and i know pretty much every1 there. Just get to actually know the people and its all good =)
 
high schools alright, although the one thing im loking forward to when i graduate is sleep. basically everyone i know goes to sleep around 2 or 3, then we get up at 7, so yeah. last night was the first time i went to sleep before 1:30 on a school night. work load at our school is ridiculous, but manageable.
the two things i actually like about school are friends and marching band. marching band is over now, so the only reason i go to school now is for friends.
 
My high school years had its ups and downs just like some other people here.
My 9th grade year was okay. I was a bit nervous at first, as I am with anything new that I try. But it got better and better. By 10th grade, I was a totally new person. In 9th grade, I was very quiet and shy, and really didn't talk to anyone, I didn't know. In 10th grade, I was the complete opposite. I was open, always trying to meet new people, and for some reason, I became very sarcastic. Then after that, it went down hill. I moved to Florida in the 11th grade, and had to start all over in a new environment, and I didn't know anyone at this school. And this school had a lot of cliques, which really upsets me, because no one is ever gives the new guy a chance. But by the time my senior was upon me, I was back to my regular self, if not crazier. My senior year was the best. I had made some prettu cool friends at that time, which was good and the work wasn't that difficult for me. Overall, it was just fun, but I'm glad to be done with it. I really look forward to college now.
