I kinda don't want to leave school...

Post Reply New Topic

last year I was really glad it was nearly the end of school because it was hell but now it's only weeks to go and I've changed my mind.
Later last year I made a new group if friends, I already got on with them but they weren't enough to call good friends before. Any way these people I'm with I feel the most comfortable and outgoing with than with any other friends I've had. I am genuinly happy now but I feel as if my like of school has come too late and now I'm leaving in may and when I start college I have to start the process all over again. It is also going to be easter holidays these next 2 weeks which means I have even less time to make the most of this and I feel like I'm going to miss school. I'd never though I'd say that because before I couldn't wait to get out of that hell hole but now I've found a comfortable social life there I like it. I don't want to have to start over and find new friends and try to remember these new directions at some college and remember a new time table.
I'm going to try to keep in touch with my friends but I have a bad feeling I'll end up losing contact with them because it always happens.

I don't want to go...

If you make the effort you should be able to keep in contact with your friends. Facebook might be of assistance.

When I left school, I was really worried and sad about losing touch with my friends. My fears were unfounded. Now we're closer than we were then. We write each other, we meet up whenever we can, we stay at each other's houses. Our old high-school friendships mean more to us than our newer college friendships. It can be done, believe me.

I don't ever want to leave school. I'll probably end up a teacher. Lol.

Can't you just stay on for sixth form? (or equivalent in US/EU Countries)
I mean that way if your friends stay on you get to keep them for longer, which kind of makes them sound like pets, hmmm my brain chooses odd wording for sentances.....

I'm going to a sixth form college, but I haven't got a sixth form in my school if that's what you mean.

ah kk, what are you going to do there by the way?
I'm almost done with school atm, I got 2 weeks after my holiday, then i'm going to stay at mine and do Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Mechanics and Philosphy and Ethics, the maths is weird because i'm not that good at it but I need to be or I can't get my degree in nuclear physics

I'm doing A levels in art and design, philosophy, RE (ethics) and psychology. Every person at school who asks me what I'm doing goes all impressed at my long list but you're doing loads!

Ah yes, but I already have the AS and A2 of Philosophy and Ethics down, I'm currently getting higher grades in science than even the set 1 people although i am sadly in set 4 and the maths is going to be one hell of a challenge
What kind of are art you into? My friend Ben (Also Aspie) can draw the greatest cartoons ever, check out this http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo ... =687794742
It should work, otherwise I wouldn't know how to show you, either way its awesome

Moving on is good when what you move on to is better than what you leave behind. Now you're leaving school altogether, you have the choice to make the next thing as good as you want it to be.

Unfortunately, I'm 13 so I can't.

I'm exactly the same. A year ago I was depressed and just wanted school and uni to be over with, then I met a guy I came to like and I looked forward to school so I could see him, then I became much more outgoing (with him and my friends) and I became less wanting to be shut in my room on the Sims or whatever and wanting to be out with friends (though also became more distant from parents I think ) As I look at it now I also like the school routine, broken down in stages, and I'm really worried about leaving my friends and going into the unknown after being at this school for 7 years, it's gonna be a big jump and one I'm not looking forward to!

I feel the same way, I can only remember a small period of time in elementary school where I wished I could just hurry up in graduate. But I felt that I would be a diffrent person by that time, and I'm not that person I always thought I would be.

For the past years I have been dreding graduation, but my mom says college is not going to be so bad, I guess I'll wait and see. I bet I'll get pretty nervious during the start of the year, like I usualy always do at the start of each grade level.

I would be so happy if I could stay in school for the rest of my life .

Wow, someone else shares me feelings on the end of senior year.

I too never thought I would hate having to leave school, but im actually kind of depressed about it. Mostly because im thinking about prom. I went last year with my then girlfriend (now ex), but I wont be going this year. My "privaleges" have been revoked (missed 14 out of a minimum 10 days), so I cant go anyway, but even if I could, I dont want to just go with a friend. Prom is a special dance that just doesnt mean the same with a friend. I get depressed thinking about how ill end up graduating single or ill miss something at the senior prom. I know it sounds pathetic, but having a girlfriend is extremely important to me. I want to feel loved (beyond family) and have someone to cuddle with.

Im not so much worried ill lose contact with people, because I honestly dont have that many friends I highly enjoy spending time with. In fact, I have very few friends id enjoy hanging out with every weekend. Plus, I always have facebook and myspace to keep in touch with people.

In a way, im highly glad to leave. My school years were a nightmare. School was absolute hell for me. The constant harassment in late middle school and up through even my senior year of high school have caused me to develop social anxieties and paranoia. Not only that, but the conditions of my school are just horrible. The seats are hard, lights are too bright, temperature is freezing (they keep the air conditioning on even in the winter), teachers bore me to death with useless information, etc.

However...somehow, im still depressed of leaving. I honestly think it just coincides with me seriously longing for a girlfriend. Not just some date either, im talking about a real relatinship. Family says ill find someone in college, but since im going to an art school (majoring in video effects and motion graphics) that may be difficult. It would be difficult because I have absolutely zero tollerance to alcohol and drug users. A lot of "artsy" people seem to enjoy using drugs, getting drunk, and smoking. ...actually, a lot of people are like that but thats also in the artsy stereotype. See what I mean by paranoia? I hope its just that.

Try getting a facebook and you can stay in contact that way.

This is a common feeling. Think of this though, as an opportunity to flex your social muscle, to make some new friends. If your current friends are the type to come out of contact with when you go to another school, then you'll have to accept the fact that this will need to happen eventually.

i know just how you feel, i made a freind about 1 and a half years ago, now that its year 11 he'll be off to colloege soon. and my aspie instinct will cause me to drift from him
