High School, I guess, was fun, but to me it was Junior High study, study, and more study. Then I moved, and for my senior year it was annoy the foreigner, lol. Besides that, I guess it's fun, but always remember; your education should come before your social life.
Yeah, if you manage to get into a school that is not totally ghetto than High School is usually a blast.neoman10 said:The Austin said:

Sorry to hear that you don't live in-state anymore.
High School? Meh. It all depends on where you hang, who you hang with, what your teachers will be like, and what students are in the classes you get.
For me? I hung near the entrance of the school, since there were less crowds and more freedom to actually move around. I hung out with my friends from middle/elementary school, as they made high school a 'lot' more bearable! Teachers were pretty good overall, as they gave out cool assignments or actually knew what high school was like and didn't pile 80 hours of homework to do in one night. And the students in classes? That was the worst really. I ended up in the loud, sex-crazed, drug classes. It sucked horribly at that part.
So! Keep your great friends close, don't fall into a hell of a lot of high school temptations (Sex being the main one, really. Too much drama comes with it. But if you do have sex, be safe! Diseases and children at high school age is not good.), and don't really fret on the classes, unless you end up in the undesirables, then you gotta just do your best, make the most out of it, and enjoy what you can.

My first year was horrible. I got bullied constantly, and though I fought back occasionally it really isn't something to be ridiculed daily in front of your peers.
Tenth grade was great because I met a bunch of friends who would go on to last until today. And some of the bullies left school because they either failed and/or transferred to another school
The rest was okay. I only enjoyed the company of five people during high school, but they meant a lot to me so our time together was great.

For me, it was (and still is) terrible.
The story is long, and ongoing, but let's just say I cracked. High-school itself was not the problem. It was the many implications.
My advice: Have a plan. Your classes, your goals, what you want to do when you're older, and plan it out accordingly. If you don't, you might turn out like I did: A complete failure who doesn't have a dollar to his name.

It was awkward, lonely, depressing, and the food sucked.
Have fun.
Not that my life since has been much better... the only thing that's improved is the food.

Its school...Its no different from what you've already experienced except maybe on a larger scale. Ya, some of the classes may be hard, but trust me, you have nothing to worry about. Just keep up on your homework and maybe join a sport or two and you'd be fine.
Awesome because I didn't go to a shitty public school-- my charter school was so chill. The "cliques" weren't so clearly defined since we had uniforms, and Charter sort of has a reputation as a sort of geeky place so there was none of that jock/nerd dichotomy I always hear horror stories about.
I guess I'm lucky, since it sounds like a lot of people around here had a rough time. I have to say that I loved high school-- it was a much simpler time.

Oh! Remember. What happens in High School will end in high school. Though from my experiences, things after high school tend to deviate, some things also stay the same.
Think of high school as a stage in your life, followed by college/uni/job, and then after that is more job/work/career stage. High school may help define who you are, it can make you suffer, but it is still just high school. Unless you are on many of the social networking sites, in which high school can ruin you far after.

ooo high school i loved highschool. i hated elementary (cause i was bullied alot),i didnt really like junior high(cause everyone thought i was gay! i not dammit!), highschool was the first place where i actually made friends, although i recently learned they think im asexual (godammit!)
For all the hype and tension around high school, I found it all to be terrible boring. I tried the other day to think of how the experience helped to shape the person I am today, and I couldn't think of anything. I came out of the whole experience with a handful of friends I don't talk to anymore and acquaintances, but otherwise I'm not sure it had any profound effect on me.
I went to a public high school. But, like any public facility brimming with teenagers, it was a fountain of hormones and emotions. Still, the day-to-day experience was pretty mundane. I never had any trouble with anybody, or gave anybody trouble. I never dated anyone or had interest in doing so. I never joined in with a particular "clique" or social group. Nobody at the school was concerned with "being popular" or being a jock, nerd, or any of those other stereotypes. We were just us, and you either talked to each other or you didn't.
For someone like me, who more or less got along fine with everyone, it was all very self-regulating. I never really noticed anybody who had a really hard time of it, either.
Just pass your courses and take the last couple of years to decide what you want to do when you get out of there, and adjust your direction accordingly. Stay cool and don't stress it - it's only high school.

Never take school too seriously. Any advice you get is pretty useless, since your experience is going to be different from everyone else. The best you can do is take the good and the bad in stride, don't take anything too personally, and learn and grow from your experiences.
Lol, Social life isn't really a huge deal in High School. It's just school. Now COLLEGE! That's when you're LIVING with them.
Bottom line about high school:
A bunch of teachers running scared trying not to get fired by a school board that's unqualified and also running scared from the state government breathing down their necks because the students aren't doing well enough on standardized tests that don't prove a thing.
High school is really just a bunch of bullshit you have to put up with 4 years. Just make sure you do well, that's what matters, so you can get yourself into a good college, because College is when the bullshit becomes much... less. (not to say there isn't any, but at least the people that work at colleges know what they're doing, and do it well).
