<p>i go to a regular old public school for a pretty average suburban town. like 90% of the kids drink & do drugs every weekend. we have about 2,000 kids in our school and one bathroom opened because everyone smokes. this change was just made because the bathrooms were getting polluted with smoke and we needed constant moniters. now kids just smoke in the hallways when nobody is looking and i'm so tired of it. i have become a second hand smoker by fate! i can't stand the smell and the kid with the locker next to me has marijuana in his locker. </p>
<p>my school is 98% white. it's a bunch of white trash loosers that i am so done with. i hate going to school. it's one of the most miserable experiences i've ever had. most of the teachers and admisistration are completely nasty. i have a good group of normal friends, but the majority of the people i'm telling you don't aim for anything more than getting drunk and baked. our entire school smells like an ashtray now, and it's a complete dump. </p>
<p>in the fall, i was on the cross country team. i decided not to do track because i absolutely hate running even though i'm not that bad and i had a lot of good friends on the team. so now, i'm not involved in the school AT ALL which isn't good. </p>
<p>on the bright side, i'm a straight a student in mainly honors classes. it's a lot of work and it takes up a lot of my life studying...</p>
<p>my dad told me that my experience at the school might be a little better if i joined some clubs or something since i dance a lot outside of school and i can't take on an interscholastic sports team schedule. but it's january now. at your school is it too late for new people to join your clubs? i really want to but i'm indimidated since i'm kind of quiet.</p>
<p>Motivate yourself to do good so you can get out of that hellhole - let all those other losers go and die from their self-poison, while you leave and find a better life.</p>
<p>We all have problems. Our average ACT is somewhere between 24-26 for students that take it. So thats about I dunno 40%-50% of the kids. Everyone goes to state schools. I hate this hellhole of pot and beer. Where ironically sedentary is a big word where I b^tched out for. All we care about is where the next party is and Abercrombie and Fitch.</p>
<p>Just wondering: what makes you so angry at people who smoke or drink? They're not really doing anything to directly harm you. You're not going to get cancer from secondhand smoke in a school bathroom.</p>
<p>I think you're a sophomore, so you still have a while to go at your school. Transferring out would be a good idea IMHO. What state do you live in (if you don't mind saying)?</p>
<p>I would join some clubs. January is NOT too late. Clubs take people throughout the year. It's good that you're doing well academically. Dancing as an EC sounds good, as well, so keep all of that up. Maybe try something like volunteer tutoring at your school??? BTW, the ACT average isn't bad at all for the kids who take it. That's above the national average, which is 20.</p>
<p>ahahaah, no the people who smoke and drink aren't harming me...but you'll see..is right, it does get annoying. & it narrows down my choice of friends even more lol.</p>
<p>yeah my parents kind of want me to transfer out, but i don't know. i'm a freshman btw.</p>
<p>if you're a freshman, its seriously not a big deal if u transfer out. just make sure ur going to a decent school and not a copy of ur current one.</p>
