Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So I’ll go ahead and rant now.

  1. I absolutely HATE the town and school that I’m stuck in! My school is full of some of the dumbest kids in the state. It has to be. We’ve got juniors that can’t read analog clocks, sophomores that don’t know what Wall Street is, and one of our most popular classes is Arts and Crafts. ARTS AND CRAFTS! or Ceramics. We also have juniors and seniors in classes like Geometry and Algebra 2. Very few students go past Algebra 2 or 3 here. <strong><em>?!?! I have honestly been flying through all my courses here and could be the teacher in some of them. Luckily I am getting out of here this fall for a new magnet high school. THANK THE LORD!!!
  2. I’m really freaked out about this new high school. It is one of the toughest schools in the nation! My first semester is equivalent to a 28 credit hour semester in college. 28. And not every person that goes there will graduate. A lot of kids drop out, and I know the workload is intense. So it’s not going to be so easy…
  3. I am an introverted person with no self-esteem. I usually keep to myself or with my group of friends, and I am a very quiet person. I have the hardest time talking because I can never find anything to talk about, and most girls think I am a huge nerd and don’t even talk to me. I also believe I have had clinical depression since middle school, since I do have a majority of the symptoms. But I don’t really know how to talk to my parents about this.
  4. I have lost contact with a lot of my friends over this last year. A lot of it has to do with my applying to the new high school and getting accepted there. A lot of my friends don’t even talk to me anymore and try to avoid me.
  5. I am usually in conflict with someone in my family, whether it be my b</em></strong>h of a sister, who can never seem to get off my a** about anything and tries to make me look like **<strong><em>, even though I am going farther in life than her. :slight_smile: Or it’s my mom, who is just always *</em></strong>y about something, whether it’s work or my sister or me or my dad or something. It can also be my dad, who I am rather distant from and he’s usually mad about something as well. Also, I have usually been pretty distant from my family because I would rather be on the computer than associate myself with them.
  6. Apparently I am the only person in my family who gives a sh** about college. I am usually researching colleges constantly. I have probably had 2 conversations with my mom about college, and 0 with my dad. And whenever college comes into a conversation, my mom has to tell some pity story about how her parents never helped her with anything for college. How to finance it, how to apply, how to get there, etc. And it’s always the same story, and I honestly get tired of hearing these pity stories about how her parents didn’t care, and my dad is the same way.
  7. No matter what I’m doing, some part of my body is killing me. It can be my ankle, my knee, my shoulder, my elbow (it just locked up a second ago haha), my back, or whatever. I am honestly in pain almost all the time. I tell my parents about this, but they don’t really know what to do.
  8. I honestly being a middle class citizen. I dont have many problems with it, besides the fact that my family is just over the mark where FA is not an option, but we can barely pay for 2 kids to go to college. Merit aid is my only option, and I will have to most likely stay pretty close instead of going to my dream schools. I’m alright with that part.
  9. Barack Obama is one of the biggest dumba<strong>es that has held the office of US President. Why in the heck did America choose him? Because he offered CHANGE? Because he’s BLACK? Probably silly reasons like those. And our economy is pretty sh</strong>ty nowadays, and I don’t see it getting better soon. His ideas are complete BS, and I honestly have no respect for anyone who supports him.
  10. I am honestly terrible when it comes to relationships. Either I don’t like the girl or she doesn’t like me or I somehow act like a huge d-bag. And I have become completely pathetic ever since my last gf broke up with me. We still talk some, and i really like her still, but idk what to do.
  11. I am a huge pansy. A huge, clinically-depressed, nerdy pansy with a terrible temper.
    :frowning: I just wonder why it has to be me.
    And no one please try to introduce me to God. I am a practicing Roman Catholic.</p>

<p>Some kid in my class won the scholarship that I really wanted. The reason he won was because of his 3.9 and high ACT score. He did no extracurriculars/sports whatersover and little community service. He’s probably a nerd that studies from 3-11 daily to have a high GPA. He didn’t take AP/IB! Damn grade inflation. I want him or at least want to be like him. :(</p>

583

<p>Why does the administration at my school treat the students like we are 5th graders and don’t know anything???</p>

584

<p>“I don’t want to study for SAT II’s. It’s ****ing me offffffffffffffffffffff!”</p>

<p>^ This.</p>

<p>Oh, and LUCK THE FAKERS.</p>

585

<p>My mum nagged me for 2 hours at 1 am today!!! When I just arrived back and wanted to go to sleep! Of course I didn’t pay any attention; it was freaking dawn. And then she screamed and said, “Why are you so IGNORANT? Respect your parents by paying attention to our words!!!”. It’s in the morning.</p>

<p>She wanted me to be like my oh-so-perfect cousins. I don’t want to be like them. I have different goals, different dreams. And then she nagged me some more!</p>

<p>She nags me at least an hour a day. When I watch TV, when I play computer, even when I study! Sometimes when I eat! Gaahhh.</p>

<p>Nick017’s post on page 1 was amazing. Beautiful, in every sense of the word beautiful.</p>

587

<p>I HATE ALL MY FRIENDS. not because they’ve done anything wrong. just because i’ve only known them for a month and can’t talk to them about things that matter and even though i see them all the time it’s amazing how shallow our connections are.</p>

<p>for some reason i really feel like pouring my heart out but i can’t. it’s kind of like wanting to pee but you can’t because you’re not on a toilet. i guess my friends count as toilets but they’re more like portapotties.</p>

588

<p>You know what really grinds my gears? You, America. ****. YOU.</p>

589

<p>I don’t want to go to college, dammit. I want to take a year off, yet the idiots here won’t let me. If I am forced to go, I promise that it will be as if I am on a year of vacation.</p>

<p>You are thus warned, dear progenitors.</p>

590

<p>^^I have plenty of things I want to do in a year off. I already have enough dinero to travel quite a bit. Actually, I had planned to go to Haiti with a Habitat for Humanity mission in February. Before that, I wanted to visit relatives there, since I’ll have to turn 18 before it’s legal for me to join the HfH group sans mis padres.</p>

<p>But it doesn’t really matter what I would do with the year off, since I won’t get to do it anyway.</p>

<p>I suppose there’s always the year after undergrad.</p>

593

<p>oh cool .</p>

594

<p>My rant goes to Alex and my toes are going in his mouth. That’s all</p>

<p>Right now, I’m really annoyed at my drama-filled social life. It’s not really involving me, but my best guy friend and my best girl friend randomly hooked up while I was in Alaska, and now they’re “together” but not, and she’s in love with him but he’s just like “she’s cool, I mean…” </p>

<p>So I hear about “I just feel like he doesn’t love me!” from her every night, and I have to lie and tell her “oh no, I’m sure he does, he’s just a guy and he just hides his feelings…?” EVERY DAY.</p>

<p>Did I mention she’s going to college in 11 days? </p>

<p>Rant over.</p>
