What has your experience of high school been like so far? If you're out of high school, how was it way back when? (This is my feeble attempt at bringing back maturity and competence to the Young Hippies Forum. ) As for me, high school itself (meaning classes and teachers) is actually not as bad as I thought it would be. But then I think about how fake everyone is, and I remember that it's icky.
I was bored for the most part. I knew high school was temporary (and only 3 years for me, since I graduated early) so I didn't really care to make it into something it wasn't (and to this day, it still baffles me when people over-romanticize it and act like high school is supposed to be the prime of your life--I mean, if that's true, that's rather unfortunate, because it's essentially saying the rest of your life is going to suck in comparison.) I was introverted through it all, though not nearly as bad as in middle school. I don't really give a shit about school--enough to make good grades, but not enough to really go out of my way for anything. Trust me, college is MUCH, much better. And I'm glad I didn't like high school, because they say that people who like high school, usually don't like college, and vice-versa.
i loved the highschool experience except for the classes. they tried to teach you a lot of bullshit. but the people, the parties, dunno good time was had by all really. i don't understand people who hated it
My freshman year I didn't really go, I skipped pretty much everyday, and played basketball and got stoned and shit like that.... I moved here and tried doing sports, but I soon found out that I can't stand racism, and ended up quitting both football and basketball... The second semester I pretty much "quit" school and all I cared about was getting high. I enarly failed all my classes, and getting caught with weed saved my life, I think. Being homeschooled, I've learned more than ever and I've managed to stay on task with whatever I'm doing... I really do miss the socialization part, and I'll prolly go back, if all goes well and I get to move away next month. So far... I don't know....homeschooling has changed my opinion about high school, and I like it now.... marijuana saved my life
it rocks. the hot guys everywhere,the parties, the hot guys, the bafflingly easy classes, the freedom, oh the freedoms!!! i rather enjoy walking everywhere too. there's this awesome little restaurant called tracks, the food is mediocre but the atmosphere is cool. plus, we hang out at the jewel when we wait for parents and what not. who knew loitering could be so much fun? Down hager street is where all the stoners go to get stoned, a well known and useful fact around these parts. life is good in high school.
Julia, fool! And I don't have an adopted son yet--that comes later. I do have a spiritual daughter in Tanzania, but I don't consider kids soul mates in the same way...
