I have to go back to school in the morning.

Wha..... is the even possible........

 

I got into my own fair of fights in elementary, but students in junior high school and high school were pretty friendly for the most of part. Some were a little different. They weren't really "jerks," but...

 

when i changed i originally thought that all schools were like this, but to my surprise it turned out that mine was an anomaly. i have friends in schools in the surrounding area and they have all said that their school does not suffer from the same situation mine does, though academically my school is superior to theirs. whatever the reason i have to wonder if i had i gone through the same public school system as them if i would have the same opinion of them, i.e. terrible people not deserving of my time or attention.

 

No school for me for about five months, just work, I hope.

Now I have to break it to my dad.

 

I started high school and it's excellent

 

The seemingly light schedules tend to be one of a few things. 1) it actually is a light course load, but that is balanced with being in school longer. 2) That one day of school a week is utter hell, usually coupled with lots of homework through out the week. 3) They are taking online classes that don't have attending times and thus only have to "go to school" that little bit.

So in short, it is rarely as awesome as it sounds.

 

its awful

 

This is really reassuring. Most people look at me when I tell them I'm going into high school and tell me it sucks terribly.

Granted, you've just begun high school, but it's good to see a positive post about it. How was your first day?

Oh, and I start high school on September 6th.

 

i agree

 

Honestly, the only bad thing I remember from high school [aside from my emotional imbalances] was the damn popularity contest the whole thing was. You were looked down upon if you didn't have the right clothes or backpack or whatever else they could find for shunning you out. I had one girl who was a member of the in crowd tell me she hated me because I was reading a book outside of class. 'Oh, excuse me for expanding my vocabulary and doing something I enjoy, Princess. I didn't realize I needed your permission.'

Just keep up with your coursework and don't be afraid to ask for extra help. It might seem like the longest 4 years of your life but when you look back on them, they go by quicker than you realize.

 

It really depends on what you make of it! I really hated high school but I think part of that was my fault, I wasn't exactly outgoing and didn't really have any friends.

I'm starting my first year of college on the 26th. @_@

Yes? I have a late birthday though, I'll be 18 in November.
