<p>So Im a freshman in HS and so far I just really don't like it, for multiple reasons. One reason is that a lot of the people are really annoying, and I don't tolerate any type of foolishness or stupidity; it annoys me. A lot of the people have absolutely no sense of morals. There're bullies and it just ****es me off. People are too damn arrogant. Secondly, the courses are weird, and are "special" in the sense that no other HS in NYC takes them. Courses such as Biochemistry and Research. I just wanna take a regular course load with the typical courses such as biology and technology. I have a 76 in research because its too broad and i find it unnecessary considering the fact that we were gonna learn about it in general science class. They only have 3 AP classes because the school opened started 3 years ago and I need a more vast selection of courses- personally. This school just really isn't for me, and it wasn't the one I really/truly wanted to go to. My friend unexpectedly left for Texas because of family affairs. I've known her for 7 years. Life really is amazing.
I don't think I can transfer because time wise, I wouldn't be able to stick around for clubs since I have to do things right after I get out of school everyday. If I transfer, I'm gonna have to find another route for transportation and all that circuitous crap. I will move soon, though the only setback that there is to moving is that I'll probably have to leave my best friend, who also doesn't attend my HS. </p>
<p>I'm sorry this is so long but I just need your input... I just really don't like my school, and the environment. Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>You really annoy me.
You’re just a freshman. You’re complaining far too much – you think it’s so awful that you have to take one class you don’t like? And wait a second, you think that if you transfer there won’t be bullies or “any type of foolishness or stupidity”? </p>
<p>Welcome to high school, kid.</p>
<p>As for the lack of AP classes, adcoms look at your course load as relative to how much your school offers. So just take all of them and self study for the rest.</p>
This will be a part of pretty much every high school in America. This will be a part of life in general, actually. </p>
<p>My 2 cents, which isn’t worth much: Deal with it. Do the best you can. If the kids are stupid, as you say, and you’re smart, then you should have no trouble being at the top of your class, right? If you can’t deal with your peers, you’ll have a rough time in the “real world” too.</p>
<p>Presumably your grade reflects the quality of the work you turned in…what do you mean it’s too broad? Wouldn’t general science be even broader?</p>
<p>(Having a ton of AP classes wouldn’t necessarily make the course selection any “vaster”…for the most part, AP courses are just more advanced versions of basic core courses that every school has. Colleges just want you to take the most challenging classes available to you. They don’t have to have the College Board brand name attached to them.)</p>
<p>Also, could you be more specific about what you mean by</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>
?</p>
<p>I’m trying to figure out whether the kids at your school are nastier than usual, or whether you’re just being unnecessarily judgmental.</p>
<p>Everyone (including you, including me) is foolish and/or stupid at times. The world is pretty weird and it takes a while to figure it out. In almost any area of endeavor, you have to mess around and screw stuff up before you can make any progress, and IMO this is okay unless people are getting hurt.</p>
<p>Could you take dual-enrollment classes at a local college?</p>

It seems as if you entirely missed the whole point, therefore making your whole response pointless. Don’t expect someone to stay in a school where the environment isn’t right for them. You imply that I won’t find a HS without bullies? Let me enlighten you, there is only so much an individual can handle and you don’t know anything about me. You should really take more things into consideration before trying to respond.</p>
There’re always disruptions in class by a few individuals and the teacher can’t even stop it. I’m here to learn, not to hear the dumb crap coming out of your mouth.
People are just conceited and they think its funny. Just no. I KNOW this behavior will be common in most high schools but I’m just giving examples.
3.Bullying- must I really explain that? Though I have always been against it. I can’t be judgemental. I know bullying when I see it, trust me.</p>
<p>As in, exactly how hostile is this environment? Are you being targeted specifically? Do people have to fear for their physical safety or anything? I would see these as valid reasons to change schools, because there are schools that aren’t like that, but there are people who make fun of others almost everywhere.</p>
<p>I mean, most high schools will drive you insane if you allow yourself to be easily annoyed. You have to realize that, except in extreme circumstances, kids are pretty much the same everywhere, and changing schools won’t help if the problem is with your mindset. Wait a few years and everyone will grow up.</p>
<p>I just don’t like the school. At all. Yeah, I can list another multitude of reasons towards why, but I won’t. Bullying isn’t the major factor contributing to the reason why I want to leave. Every high school isn’t the same, I know that this school isn’t right for me and I’ll just simply transfer to one that I feel as good. I’m not gonna stick around learning nothing because people can’t sit down and shut up. I guess that I need to find something close to or relating to my past environment. I think it’s possible :)</p>
<p>I just asked… She said yeah I’d be able, though I’ll change next year. Oh, I do go to a public one and it houses 2 high schools including mine and one middle school. Yeah, they aren’t the type if schools you’d like to be associated with. Lol</p>
I go to a 2,200 person school that’s the only high school in the county, so I wouldn’t even have the option of transferring. I don’t really like my school all that much either; a lot of kids don’t care about anything, including their schoolwork, and are destined to either go to jail or work a minimum wage job for the rest of their life, but I deal with it, because that’s my only option and there are people that I do like. Do you have any friends at your school? If so, hang out with them when at all possible and try and block the other kids out.</p>
<p>I’m being honest when I say that you will find rude, stupid, disruptive bullies at almost every single high school in the United States of America, so I’m confused on why you act like another school is going to be oh so much better. Are you being bullied specifically? You never really answered halcyonheather’s question.</p>
<p>Edit: Well okay, if you can transfer, then what’s the issue?</p>
<p>No I’m not being bullied at all. It’s like I have clairvoyance and I feel for those who do get bullied. Call me crazy.</p>
<p>Your situation is crazy, and I know there is no such thing as a perfect high school, but it has to at least be one that I like. Wouldn’t it be weird if I just hated every school I went to? I mean, come on, that’s ridiculous.</p>
