@Pancakey that too. Some people just talk to me when they have no one else to talk to at school. When they need help, they text me really nicely and send a bunch of hearts and all, and obviously, when i need help and text them, they dont respond. Thats the problem. I know theyre online because the facebook chat thing says that theyre active now for like over ten minutes. I really hate those types of people. Dont treat me like that, like talking to me only when they need me for their benefit. So rude.
Nobody helps you out with planning your classes! I’m so stressed for the rest of high school and you have to make a guidance appointment to get help with classes even if its just a 5 minute question. I gt so aggravated because by time your appointment is scheduled, you have already found out the answer.
AND they keep changing up the program of studies. I was going to take a health class to meet a requirement an then they said “It no longer meets this requirement” and we have to take Junior seminar. it doesn’t make sense.
I have this teacher at my school, just horrible at teaching math. I tear up in class everyday HAHA but I still manage to pull off an A. Some teachers don’t deserve to teach! I’m sure a lot will agree!
I know, @elitelow. There’s this teacher at my community college for math that has an ego the size of Texas and Alaska combined. He thinks he’s the world’s gift to teaching math (when he really isn’t that spectacular.)
I hate when people cry over a B in an AP class like are you serious?
I hate when teachers favor some kids or some females over males.
I hate it when people judge each others by gpa.
Etc etc… I have a whole list and I can go on forever
At my school, juniors have to write a research paper which counts for a grade in both English and religion; this wouldn’t be too bad if the teachers could just coordinate their deadlines and what they want in the paper. Because of all of this conflicting info, this paper is taking me approximately twice as long as it normally would to write one of the same length; trying to juggle this on top of a presentation in AP Psych, tests in AP Chem and precalc, and other normally assigned homework PLUS my extracurriculars means I haven’t gone to bed before 1 once this week. To top it all off, my NHS app is due in next week and requires ANOTHER essay plus a list of all my ECs, and I just got all that info today because of a snow day on Monday (when the informational meeting was originally scheduled). Ugh.
So many long terms projects ( ewww research paper) and so much daily work that I can’t work on my long term projects. If sophomore year is this hard, junior year will be worse. Also, I have to make sure I finish some paperworky stuff sk I can start two of my out of school gaduation requirements. Class recommendations are next week and I’m so nervous.
In general, so much work, there’ll be even more next year, and sports are taking up so much time but I can’t quit.
I hate the lack if sleep I’m getting, I hate the fact that I’m unable to work ahead anymore, and the fact that I can’t give a class presentation to save my life ( and my long term, 100 point, history project is exactly that).
PEOPLE WHO CHEAT FOR CLASS RANK THEY DO NOT DESERVE.
NUFF SAID
When every single test, quiz, project, lab, essay, and presentation is crammed into one day.
Oh jeez, it looks like everybody here REALLY hates their school! I go to a high school in a pretty small town
(there are 250 people in my graduating class, I guess that’s small), and I found my friends pretty early and there weren’t too many rotten apples, teachers and students alike ( at least, I don’t stay around them, and I’ve been lucky to have some awesome teachers)
**Edit: I also haven’t experienced too much academic cheating and my school doesn’t have super fierce competition (thank god). I’m with a small group of academically smart kids, and they’ve been my best friends throughout middle and high school, so It feels a lot more supportive 
But it grind my gears when…
-people practice a “in the brain, out the mouth”- tactic. These people are those obnoxious people in class who will ask dumb questions, or say something completely unrelated or not even mildly related to what the teacher is talking about. Like bruh. Just stay quiet like the rest of us. Don’t be obnoxious.
-Racists say things.
-That one creepy teacher in my school who would randomly touch you (in a motherly, but still creepy way) as she walked by to check your work. shivers Granted, this teacher was a nice lady, but we had labs ALL DAY ERRYDAY in her class (it was an honors biology class), and I probably spent a solid 10 total hours squinting my eyes into a microscope hoping that I wouldn’t go blind someday.
-When a teacher quizzes you on a test on a book/play you recently read that has the most obscure details on the test. Our teacher says that we are supposed to do a “close reading” of the text and we are just doing some basic review in class. Close reading? AIN’T NOBODY GOT THE TIME FO DAT! I also have the worst attention span in English classes, especially when we are reading something as a class. Am I the only one who’s like this? I’d usually drift my attention off to things like how delicious chipotle is, that amazing dinner I had at Noodles and company, or like literally anything else that was more interesting than The Crucible ( a play we read). Suddenly it’s 15 scenes later, and…yeah.

…phew. High school was more frustrating than I though
“I meant every word I said, when I said that I loved her I meant that it’d love her forever. I’m gonna keep on loving her. Cause its the only thing I want to do, I don’t wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on loving her.”
That baddie in your class that likes hanging out with the jerks. She must find studying math & science a turn off
It really bugs me when schools stop representing a valedictorian or a salutatorian. My school stopped it because they ‘wanted to make it fair for everyone,’ so now, people can graduate with Honors, High Honors, and Highest honors. That’s still classifying people, so why change it? It’s sorta like social groups. The people in the lowest are the ‘worst’ and the people in the highest are ‘superior.’ Ugh, it’s so dumb.
Also, I hate how my high school, and NC, make certain introductory courses without a honors counterpart. At my school, there isn’t an Algebra I honors/Math I honors. That can actually bring down people’s GPA in the long run, and I’m glad that I took it in 8th grade, where it wouldn’t bring down my GPA. Also, my school has this dumb thing where you have to take two standard courses in a subject before you can take honors.
For example: Art I and Art II are standard courses with no weight. Art III and Art IV have weight, but what if you don’t want to take the ‘harder’ version of that class. It’s completely annoying, but I’m not much of an arts guy anyways.
Also, my school automatically makes math courses that are precalculus and above weighted. They’re supposed to be harder, but shouldn’t they have a standard counterpart for certain people? I don’t know. Precalculus is pretty rigorous anyways, but maybe there should be an easier version for people who need it. I don’t really like seeing people fail, so this obviously bugs me.
Lastly, I really really REALLY hate the course selection process. We have to fill out a charted sheet, in our grade level, and put the classes the want to take. Well, certain teachers won’t allow you to pick a class, they’ll automatically sign you up for a class without your consent. If they think you can handle it, then they’ll sign you up for it. It’s sorta the teacher and principal, but you basically get ‘spat on’ if you deny the class they pick for you, and they’ll treat you like a baby. Ugh, so annoying.
The annoying unmotivated people in the regular classes I had to take (where there was no AP or honors avaliable, only regular)
The fact that the councelors don’t believe in me that much because I have a lot going on in my personal life so they wouldn’t let me take that many AP/Honors classes.
the teachers who give you bad grades despite your hard work
High school social life is very frustrating to me. I go to a regular public high school where academics aren’t really stressed and people just hang out, have parties, go shopping, and date in their free time. It’s so hard for me to pursue my academics interests but still fit in. A lot of times I stand out a lot because I make choices different from my peers, and I’ve become stronger so it doesn’t bother me anymore, but sometimes it’s still frustrating to always be going against the crowd. This is one of the reasons why I regret not having applied to a boarding school or private school like Exeter or Andover.
I get stressed about comparing myself to others. I’m constantly giving my 110% in everything I do and when it comes to testing, I always do worse than others who don’t try as hard.
Plus, taking Journalism this year was one of the best and worst choices I’ve ever made. I’m a freshman and the Journalism classes at our school are challenging, semester-long since they’re offered to all four grades. For the first semester, I had to stay after school on so many days, tracking people down (did I mention embarrassing myself in the process?), and making sure I’m not misquoting people/plagiarizing. On the other hand, I truly enjoy writing. Sorry for the vent but it’s little things like this that slowly deteriorate my confidence and faith in my ability to succeed.
If you are a good student in a class that is particularly dim-witted, the teacher always grades on a curve. And, if you had a near-perfect score, the curve can bring your grade down. For me, this happened with my test. A 97 became a 96. Conversely, a guy with a 69 jumped up to an 80. Argh.
@Fauste I have a similar situation as you except a little bit different. So in my AP Chemistry class I normally get 95-100 on his tests while the rest of the class does much lower. For our acid base exam he curved our tests. My 97 became a 98 and my friend’s 67 became a 96.
See what’s wrong with that…? Just saying. It evened us all out and he didn’t even study but got the fruits of his non-labor.
People who act like they’re of higher class than you, and when you ask them a question, they give you a condescending attitude. I don’t mind asking people questions, but I would rather not if the person treats me like a kid. Otherwise, I also hate it when kids are unmotivated and tell me that what I’m studying/working hard for is pointless. They also make fun of me when I make time to go out with friends, telling me “Shouldn’t you be studying for MIT? Stop wasting time, Theresa.”
Just saying- very annoying and upsetting.
@SallyStephens woah, that’s seriously crazy…
