Did you hate high school?

Post Reply New Topic

I hated school, period, high school included. I did no work, I was uninterested. people picked on me mercilessly for being fat AND gay, nevermind my social awkwardness. I did have one friend, though, who stuck with me through it all. he died, sadly, in 2006. now almost all of my friends are online, and ALL of my 'good/close' friends are online.

High School was difficult. It really did its best to keep me from ever achieving anything. I found my place at Uni thought.

Hated high school.

Hated middle school.

Hated elementary school.

Wasn't fond of pre-school.

Didn't hate learning. Hated the environment.

High school sucked. The school was run with an iron fist. So many ridiculous rules too.

My life in school until college was a living hell for me, I was bullied by students and teachers and treated rather horribly. However college was a vast improvement for me because beating me up as an adult by an adult is a criminal offense for example.

You also may have more luck finding a group or club in college that fits you because you get such a greater mixture of people from the around the area, state, country or even world.

high school didnt overall turn out that badly for me. the only time that I got in any big trouble was when the tried to take away my high school accomodations. After that dispute was settled on two separate ocassions the school finally was off my back and I had a peaceful time. the other major problem for me was that I didn't really have any friends to rely on when the times got tough.

Overall looking back on my high school experience I said that it did little to help me prepare for the challenges of college. I am now in my third year of college and am still struggling to get the grades that I deserve.

I hate school because I don´t like my classmates , sometimes they bother me and they are very stupid

Pretty much exactly the same for me... Catholic school with religion as a compulsory unit of study... also i used to ditch school almost every day to just surfing... it was convenient as the school was really close to my favorite spots...

Some people say high school was the best four years of their lives and well, I feel bad because they must have had sh*tty lives.

Small screen edit. The teachers are pretty bad also. My last two chemistry teachers either laugh when I needed help or become verbally abusive to my questions. Seeing how people really are makes me want to quit college as well. But I want that freaking degree so bad.


I know exactly what your are going through. I was treated like a nobody in high school until I dropped out. middle school was worse I was picked on by high school bullies at our local park pretty much every time I would go down there. It just snowballed from there passing on friend to friend. Till this day I always believe to be this one guy who started it all. It never stopped.

Now in college it isn't necessarily being picked on it is being the outsider in all of the classes. I lost who I was before college so while In College I am trying to learn who I am and at that the same time learn. I also went through a ego rocking relationship that tore my personality apart. I wish I could say it is difficult but I have no Ida what difficult is anymore I'm emotionally numb and can't remember anything that resembles a feeling.

Sorry for typos this was typed on an itouch.

the worse time of my life, almost on par with kindergarden through 5th grade (elementary school). Man those were depressing years. It's sad that we older aspies realize this but there is little we can do to keep the next generation of AS children from going through the same hell we did.

I do not hate high school, so much as some of the people high school happens to contain. I force myself to look at it that way, at least.

Yes

I really hate the whole bureaucratic system that we call "Education", but since I have now political power as a sophomore, I digress. The NCLB act needs to be repealed, illogical fallacy, it be.
Frankly I think education is interfering with my ability to learn and comprehend material. Why must it always be the teachers way or the highway? Do I, or do I not have the freedom of speech, petition, or the press?! Am I even considered to be human, or am i just another student?! Why must we be treated as insignificant pieces of junk to processed and sent to society? (Don't get me started with middle school...)

And they wonder why society is going to hell?

That was my little rant.
Have a nice day!
*whistles*

I was on independent study until senior year so I really can't say if I hated it. For the one year I did attend classes at the local high school, it was okay. No teasing or tormenting like in junior high but that probably was because I was in some of the higher classes like AP Calculus where most of the students were more mature. Had a hard time finding a place to sit at lunch so I ate in one of my teacher's rooms, where I talked to him/her and the few others that were in the room. Only had one or two friends, never dated and didn't care about having a relationship.

No big high or lows, really.

I loved high school. It was hard as hell, but I attribute much of my present success in life to the teaching I had there.

I was fortunate enough to barely make it into one of the top ten public high schools in the country. While there, we were treated like college students: expected, not forced to work; given independent research projects of our choosing (with plenty of teacher guidance); and we were even given the right to form any sort of school club we wished so long as we had a teacher to sponsor us and at least five students as members. The best part is that we were all different wonderful flavors of nerds there. The kids who didn't care about school didn't last long, so there were very few bullies to contend with. Rather, everywhere I went were phenomenal odd-balls like myself.

The difficult part was the "retention list." At the end of the year, they kicked out all students who received an unweighted 2.0 or lower combined (not counting electives), or who had a single F or more than one D. The retention list was a paper they sent in the mail to the students in the danger zone, so as to encourage them to perk up their grades. ....I was on that list two of my four years, though I never C'ed out (as we called it).

Still, even though I struggled a lot, I learned something very important during that time. I discovered my unique process for organizing myself, and getting myself to approach fearlessly topics with which I am unfamiliar. These lessons have carried me with full scholarships through my undergrad, to receiving my bachelors cum laude, into a carreer in my favorite field, and now (crosses fingers) I will hopefully be entering a fully-funded PhD program within the year.

Don't get me wrong, I hated elementary school. I had panic attacks in middle school. But you know, ever since I walked into my first day of high school my life just keeps getting better and better every day... and I'm 25 now. Maybe all along I just needed teachers to encourage me, but to let me do things in my own way.
