<p>Stupid people. I’m surrounded by idiots.
That was condescending. And true.
Incident last year:
Most tryhard (like all As from kissing up and stuff) but stupid person ever, we’ll call her TRYHARD. There’s a map on the wall of the world.
Teacher: Where’s Great Britain?
TRYHARD: I don’t know.
Teacher: Can you point out England?
TRYHARD: I dunno
Teacher: The United Kingdom?
TRYHARD: IDK
The map was labelled too.</p>
<p>I actually like most kids in my school, but it’s just the few that I hate that literally ruin the entire experience.</p>
<p>Evil lunch ladies. Like seriously, it’s like the have a personal vendetta against every student. God forbid you don’t have your I.D. You might as well go stick your head in the toilet</p>
<p><em>careless mistake on test</em>
Student A: Ha, you ■■■■■■!
Student 2: kill yourself now
Student C: I’m smarter than you lol</p>
<p>^ this</p>
<p>People in class who know the material and make it obvious that they do to show off to the class. This is a situation in my Calc class, where a friend of mine tells our teacher how he knows a “shortcut” for a problem, and the class hears as we do our work. I had to learn some extra calculus over the summer to prepare for AP Physics C, so I knew this shortucut too, but I didn’t try to do any of that!</p>
<p>Also, people who interrupt class to ask an extremely complicated question about the subject matter or a problem to show off their intelligence. This [different than above paragraph] person in particular also tells me and others about these “questions” [random jargon about some theoretical physics that nobody in class will understand/care about (in Physics Class)], annoying me and others.</p>
<ul>
<li>People who get away with conspicuous cheating and never get caught.</li>
<li>When a class is so hard for you and for others it’s a breeze.</li>
<li>People who openly kiss up to their teachers and are the teachers’ pets for it. </li>
<li>People who say things like ‘■■■■■■’ and ‘gay’ without even thinking about the impact of their words.</li>
<li>People who get recognized for the most stupid things while others work their butts off doing all sorts of commendable things that no one even cares about.</li>
<li>Not being able to rely on any of your peers because, in the high school realm, your peers are your biggest competition.</li>
<li>People who continuously ask for your help on simple assignments.</li>
<li>People who say ‘like’ after every few words. </li>
<li>How the teachers turn a blind eye for many things that actually violate the school’s policies. </li>
</ul>
<p>And that’s only the beginning…</p>
<p>@Yakisoba </p>
<p>you may call me Student C</p>
<p>Stupid amount of hw.</p>
<p>Currently: AP Physics </p>
<p>When teachers force you to study in a certain way, e.g. they make you do study guides, take notes in a certain way, or vocabulary flashcards. I imagine this helps many who wouldn’t know how to study but for someone like me that has taken 7 AP classes already it’s not that helpful. I know what works for me, and its not wasting 3 hours making flashcards I’ll never use. </p>
<p>Alternatively when the classes you signed up for don’t all fit into your schedule.</p>

ughhh for real though. once a teacher made me try “PIN (positive interesting negative) NOTES” because supposedly they were ~so helpful and phenomenal and will shape you into a genius whoaaa~ like no thank you. took forever (there was a lot of material, and the notes were graded), and later i tried to study my notes before the test and hahahahahahahaha i don’t even. it was ridiculously disorganized and incomprehensible, since the teacher wanted it in a specific format + refused to accept even minor alterations to the format like ugh. </p>
<p>i don’t mind when teachers give you ideas/suggest methods with which to study, but when they force you into it (and usually the methods are useless, timeconsuming, overall crappy, or all of the above) it’s like mfing no get over yourself.</p>
<hr>
<p>also i hate when kids act like know-it-alls and most importantly waste at least ~5-10 minutes of every class period to do so. especially so since it’s pretty clear that many of them don’t actually know what they’re talking about, they just think they do.</p>
<p>like i don’t care if you’re super smart or want to act smart in front of the teacher or whatever, but do it before/after class/school bby ok.</p>
<p>Aww come on the like thing? Some intelligent people say like a lot in informal conversations. It’s a force of habit 
@photogeek8 </p>
<p>@emenya Saying ‘like’ colloquially is totally fine when done sparingly. I do it as well. But to use it after every few words is what drives me nuts! </p>
<p>When the school system thinks it’s too good for you to take a certain class, or makes getting into it ridiculously hard. To get into honors if you’re coming from out of the school system, you need to be in the 95th percentile from a standardized test you took IN 8TH GRADE and get a certain score on the (sort of like) IQ portion of the test. Then if your school didn’t take that test, you need to take an appeals test to get into honors, and they are all ridiculously hard and test knowledge of the class you’re trying to get into. If I’m trying to get into Honors Biology, why are all the questions information I don’t know yet because they’re in Biology? And then it’s way easier to get into an AP class. You can waiver into any AP class, like if you got a D in Algebra 2 and can’t get into Pre-Calc, you can just waiver into AP Stats instead…</p>
<p>There’s this one girl in French 1 who sits behind me, and she always makes it obvious that she knows French. She took French 1 in 7th and 8th grade, but she did really poorly on the last test, so they’re making her take French 1 again. Don’t get me wrong; I like her and she’s nice! But commenting on how easy every test is out loud so everyone can hear you is kind of bragging. We’re not all dumb, you just know the material since you’re retaking the exact same class.</p>
<p>People who automatically think they’re better than you. Whether it’s about getting good grades, sports, or just popular people, there’s always people who think they’re better than you.</p>
<p>PDA. There is a couple that religiously meets up in the hallway I go from French to English to, and they are there kissing every single time. It’s a major hallway too, it’s the one that connects the two halves of the building! I’m fine with holding hands and hugging, but kissing is just awkward and makes it uncomfortable for everyone else to be around you.</p>
<p>The staff member(s) that has no soul. On the second day of school, I tried going to my locker after lunch, but this lady yelled at me. How did you expect me to know that I couldn’t go to my locker now? On the first day I went after lunch and no one stopped me, so I just assumed I could do that every day.</p>
<p>The teachers who think their class should be your main priority. Like I’m taking 3 honors and 1 AP, but for some reason regular Biology is my most important class that I should give all of my attention to?</p>
<p>People who suddenly turn around in the hallway. People need to get places, you all of a sudden turning around and running to talk to your best friend clogs up the system and makes it harder for everyone else to get where they need to go.</p>
<p>The smart people who make fun of people who aren’t. Intelligence is something you’re mostly born with. Some people are born especially bright, but most are average. However, there’s a difference between trying and not trying. If someone tries really hard in school and gets a C, there’s nothing wrong. But if you got the C because you don’t care about school, that’s totally different.</p>
<p>^I agree.</p>
<p>@photogeek8 I’d like to contest that. Words are only as powerful/offensive as you make them.</p>
<p>There are literally 10 people like me in the whole school</p>
<p>Problems with the feminine biological counterparts</p>
<p>When the kids who spend all weekend partying try to copy my homework. You had three nights to do it, if not more; why should I just give you the answers when I actually did the work?</p>
