<p>I can't stand my school. I like my teachers and the staff, but I just can not stand my peers. They're all caught up in this bull drama that most high schools are filled with, but to a degree I've never seen before. I'm new to this school (been there for a year) and transferred from a school I loved down south in Tennessee. I don't know if I'm vilifying this school or what, but the people are some of the most stuck up, bratty people I've EVER met. I don't get it.</p>
<p>just concentrate on your studying and come out on top in each class. Once they know who's the boss you will get their respect.</p>
<p>How old are you and what grade are you in?</p>
<p>I personally hate my school, only because there are so many people who skip and could care less about their education. The only thing I could say would be to find your own cool people to hang with. Focus on education and get ready to go to college. </p>
<p>After that, you can pick your next environment. My advice: Choose wisely.</p>
<p>What grade are you in?</p>
<p>I moved to a considerably wealthier community in eighth grade and it took me a while to adjust. Now I'm a rising senior and even though I'll be perfectly happy to get away, I think I've learned more about people than if I just stayed in that place where I thought I really belonged.</p>
<p>Anyway...if you think you really can't stand it, you could transfer to another local school (if it's public).</p>
<p>Yup, school sucks. Yay for public education.</p>
<p>If you're going to be a senior this year, it'll be easy to isolate yourself socially (at school at least), concentrate on your studies (or whatever else you want to do) and not get involved with "these people" if you don't eventually warm up to them.</p>
<p>If you're at any other level, make an effort to make some friends. I guarantee not everyone at your school is exactly the same, and there will be some people that you can at least get along with. When this is done you can easily just ignore everyone else.</p>
<p>I go to a school where I'm not compatible with about 90% of the people, and I've done a pretty good job avoiding them :) It's still possible to have friends and enjoy your time at school though because it sucks being miserable and lonely all the time...I went through 3 years of that phase in middle school</p>
<p>I'm a Sophomore. I still have a long time. =[</p>
<p>trust me, you're goign to get a lot of life skills
i've done pretty much everything and more, drama wise, that should've happened in high school when i was in middle school, so i have no idea how freshman year's going to turn out
you learn a LOT
like when you get out of there for any reason (vacation, trip downtown, etc) you feel much more experienced than everyone. and that's not necessarily the whole elitist arrogance, just from what you learned from your school lol</p>
<p>of course, im pretty sure there's a school out there that can top the one you've just transferred to that you could enroll in for next year :)</p>

<p>Yep, that's what's gonna happen...</p>
<p>Buck up and deal with it. As someone dead once said, "Hell is other people."</p>
<p>it'll get better... just be positive... do something fun for yourself, focus on school, etc. Relax b/c unless you're moving you're stuck with those people.</p>

This. I don't know the full situation, so I may come off as a $&#&# here, but your case happens ALL the time to lots of people, and you sound like you're in prison with mentally ill, dangerous rape convicts.</p>
<p>Every single person out of the entire school is that horrible? Quit whining, there are people like that everywhere in almost any school and you'd be best to find a couple friends to hang out with. </p>
<p>...I thought you were being threatened to death with switchblades by hardcore gangsters every single day if you refused to do their math homework. ;)</p>
<p>The problem is probably you, not them, considering the majority of people are nice.</p>
