it was just another experience. i wasn't bullied, i had "friends", i performed well, but i wouldn't say it was "good" or "fun"... not bad either, in any sense of the world, it was just a place i went for 8 hours 5 days a week

It wasnt great, I got along with very few people in my year and tended to stick to myself.
I wasn't bullied that badly, there were 1 or 2 people that made life difficult; but then they were as unpopular as me.
Things really started to change when I didnt get the A level results I wanted and decided to stay back a year, there I met a bunch of awesome people who basically took in an abrasive and socially inept stray and with patience and kindness changed him into someone much better.
They wont ever read this, but I really love you guys.

Basically my school, awful experience to be honest, but it got better when I went into third year.Jamieson 90 said:
It was pretty average overall I'd say, nothing terrifying, nothing spectacular and academically I was pretty much fine getting 2 A's and 2 B's at A-Level by the end of it, nothing overly impressive but enough to get me into Uni. Didn't really get picked on all that much, at least not enough to really scar me or anything, though the social circle I hung around with for most of those years kinda treated me like shit though things got better toward the end. I'm certainly no less miserable having gotten out of there, so I can't say it was all that bad.
If this was an intentional joke, then bravo, sir.Spartan1362 said:
OT: I went with awful, but would've preferred a "boring" option. I was fortunately too big and scary-looking to get picked on, but I hated having to waste 8 hours of my day surrounded by people I didn't talk to in classes that mostly wasted my time.
After a while, I started reading books during several classes and just ignoring the teachers. Some of them realized I had no business being stuck working at the pace of morons and had already finished the years curriculum around February, so they left me alone or suggested books for me to read. Man, my physics teacher was awesome. He asked what interested me, I said psychology and the next day he brought me a university psych book to read during his classes.
But, yeah, I think the best way to sum up my high school experience in one word is "boring".
In it right now and its pretty shit. Yeah I have friends, there are plenty of good times, I don't get bullied or anything, and I currently don't deal with any ***** teachers. That all being said I hate that im expected to act like an adult yet treated like a child by everyone except my JROTC instructors and a few teachers. I honestly either actively dislike or just want nothing to do with a majority of people here, and its just boring as fuck. Military school here I come!
Any and all reunion mail from my high school goes directly into the garbage, only for lack of a safe place and method to burn it.
Extrapolate from there.

I got no clue what age you age when you're in high school in USA, but I'll assume it's when you're 13-16 years old.
Was a great time. Had tons of friends and made it into a pretty good class. There was some issues in the beginning though. Was often in fights(and lost terribly), but when puberty really kicked in I grew to be a monster and no one has bothered me since.

It was great. Not only did I excellent friends, but I am one of those nerds who enjoyed learning and doing school work. I was the guy you all hated, who got high marks without even trying. The school itself was a wonderful place, teachers who I got along with very well as well as a caring staff in general.
Bullying wasn't an issue for me, my friends and I made it clear very on that we didn't give a shit what others said about us, in fact we might even agree with you. As for physical bullying, I'm a tall, rather huge looking guy who towered over most of the football players. I guess it was kind of a deterrent.

Bad. Very, very bad. Here are some highlights:
-Getting thrown to the ground and having my pants torn up by about 4 people because I was wearing khakis, which are apparently a forbidden article of clothing. Jeans, or else.
-Having a bottle thrown at me, luckily which was blocked by my backpack.
-Given lower grades for ridiculous reasons (misspelling a word on a MATH ASSIGNMENT, or having the "wrong" opinion on an essay)
-Having my cell phone stolen from my backpack and never returned, by a FACULTY MEMBER nonetheless.
-Going to detention for accidentally leaving my lunch bag on the ground
-Being forced to write a 2,000 word essay by hand about why I'll never get a job with my "impudence"
Independence in High School will put you at risk. Join the herd, or get picked off by the rest.

Kinda meh overall. First two and a half years were pretty shitty. But the last year and a half were actually alright.
I don't' really fit in the pole. It was one of the most miserable experiences in my life. But amongst all the misery are some of the greatest most cherished memories I have. I would never go back and do it again, but I'm very glad that I did it.
