<p>I don't...The classes are hideously small, our school doesn't look pretty and it doesn't have good facilities. No adequate ACs and heaters, so much disgusting gum all over the tables below, bad students who don't focus and only disrupt classes.</p>
<p>Even the AP classes are so boring. Most teachers suck and some students just annoy you...and you keep seeing them ALL day!
OMG!
So obsessed with popularity and what other people think!
Social life just dropped like crazy with all the work load...and lack of cool people :[ </p>
<p>I just can't want for college, but after reading Grapes of Wrath...I just fell to pieces.</p>
<p>My school had 6200ish kids. I LOVED high school. I didn’t take a crap ton of AP classes (4 classes, but 10 tests, and still got into two great schools) and didn’t overly stress about academics. I was actively involved with theater (as in it ran my life), clubs (started and was president of 2), and charity while there. I still talk to a lot of my old teachers. My friends were amazing and gave me an escape as none of my friends cared about getting into top schools. It was awesome :). I barely did homework and still managed to come out of there with a 3.8ish and a kickbutt ACT score.</p>
<p>In many ways, I liked high school much more than college.</p>
<p>I HATED my HS. The only thing that was notable was my BFF, swim team and “some” of the stuff they taught me. I say some b/c during Jr. some of the material that I was taught in my Humanities Magnet HS was really pointless (IMO).</p>
<p>As of now, I’m really tired of it. But I guess my biggest commitments were never at school anyway. Although I guess if classes count as commitments, I should take that back…</p>
<p>i like someone who goes to my highschool. He’s basically the reason im still sane.
My friends are nice, too.
Though I’m really stressed about getting into my number 1 school. I’m so in love with Columbia. :l</p>
<p>No. It’s insane how many dumb as hell idiots this school has (I’m not being an elitist; this is a reality). They act like they’re smarter than everyone else while their GPA’s down the toilet, and when you talk to them, they get really stereotypical and actually believes in them. “Oh he’s asian he’s supposed to be smart.” Starts talking about how a race acts by referencing what someone did in a MOVIE. You can’t have a conversation with these people unless you’re a complete idiot like them. When you bump into them and say, “excuse me” they get all “Yeah man you better be sorry you &^%$#@ #*$(.” Lol I had that happen like 10 times and now when someone does it I just say, “I take that back!” and laugh at how much they go overboard with something that’s insignificant lol. Bunch of elitist idiots with inflated ego.</p>
<p>I am going to a vanilla public high school, to provide some context.</p>
<p>High school can be a mixed blessing. A lot of work is assigned without any apparent purpose for it in mind (other than keeping the student busy), and a substantial percentage of teachers are somewhere between comically inept and utterly clueless. The social environment more or less sucks, too, but that is more of a result of the age of high school students than anything generated by the high school environment.</p>
<p>However, a lot of the material covered in classes (mathematics, higher-level science classes, and stuff like history and political science) is very interesting. High school also provides a structured environment for socialization, making it easy to meet people and make friends through classes, clubs, sports, and the like.</p>
<p>i love my high school. everybody’s really nice, it’s a bunch of different ethnicities and races, everybody gets along, and there’s none of that group separation that u see on tv.
the whole idea of preps, goths, punks, geeks, all of those stereotypical cliques and stuff, i’ve never even heard of that until mtv. we don’t have that in my school.</p>
<p>but my school is also kind of nontraditional. it’s half performing-arts school and half technoloogy-science school. and it’s mandatory that students admitted into one subschool also take classes from the other school, so for that reason, everyone just kind of gets along.</p>
<p>I think everyone can find something they don’t really like about their high school, but you really have to seek out the things and people in high school that are worthwhile and just make the best out of your situations. =] </p>
<p>Personally, yes I like high school. It can get annoying at times but still, I know I’ll probably miss it later on when I graduate in about 4 months.</p>
<p>Hate it. Kids are idiots. Teachers are incompetent. I have little interest in most subjects, but I am forced to take them nonetheless (because a highschooler just NEEDS that health class).</p>
<p>i like high school… yeah, the work can be a ***** but you guys have to realize high school is what you make it. You can put yourself out there and try to be social and meet people, or you can sit around and do nothing (kinda like college so i’ve heard, but i am a senior this year). I am a friendly and social person and am friendly with most people.</p>
<p>Melin- sounds like you’re exaggerating a bit… When i bump someone in the hall, i usually tell him to **** off and he’ll say something along the same lines. People who say that usually aren’t serious.</p>
<p>It sounds to me like everyone who hates high school hates a certain group of people… You just have to find your niche.</p>
<p>There’s no such thing as a perfect world. That being said, high school will have its ups as well as its downs. You just have to find those ups :)</p>
<p>But college will probably be much more life-changing, I’m ready to leave high school but I’ll certianly miss my friends and teachers.</p>
