hard time with high school

have any of you had a really hard time getting through high school? im only a junior and still have this year and next to be concerned with. i have found that waking up for school has been really hard for me and i feel like i just dont get anything. i always question why i need to learn this and that and it bothers me becuase i dont think i will ever need some stuff im taught. i used to love going to school but now i strongly despise it.
how have you guys gotten through it and do you have any advice?

 

I DIDN'T get through it. I was expelled during my sophomore year for smoking weed, and again during my junior year, at another school, for smoking weed. Later that year, I was kicked out of the Army for smoking weed.

 

High School...

Worse Days of my Life...

 

I was the same way withdrew from my public high school got homeschooled had a hot tutor for awhile then I lost interest and got lazy just stopped.. and then I had to fight to get my GED and now I find I really want to go to college so I can get a decent job and make money and have a family and stuff... tis rough not fun at all.... good luck ... hope you stay in school though

 

I ended up getting my GED before I went to the army. They are pretty much the same thing, anyway......nowadays. And the GED tests were easy as shit.

 

I loved high school - but I went to a performing arts high school...I hate college - that is when you can ask, "What the hell am I going to do with this information?"

 

haha, i asked my economics professor, who happens to be my advisor that question. i'm an econ major, asking him what i'm going to do with this information.
haha

 

Yes, I had a hard time of it and experienced almost the same thing, can't get up in the morning,( my mom would throw ice water on me in my bed ) and wondering what the hell am I going to do with this information later in life! Then I dropped out of school in the 11th grade. You know, drop out, turn off, tune in and turn on. Don't do this it's the wrong move! When I was 22 I went back and got a GED, and then went on to college. I only wish I'd stayed in school and got my degree sooner than when I did. Yes the information will become useful when you get into business ( career later in life) . You just have to drudge through it, it gets better and picks up as you go on.
Believe me it felt a lot better on job applications listing the schools and colleges attended instead of just "dropped out".

What you are going to find out is that yes.. High school is a pain in the ass. But after you graduate you'll move onto other things that are just as big of a pain in the ass. Jobs, bills, families.. Things that will stress you out more than school ever could.

And while most of what I learned in high school has been of practically no use to me at all.. People who might want to hire you will care about your school career.

I've been out of school now almost 25 years. I can look back on it now, and say it was the easiest time of my life. Don't rush into the constant pain in the asses life throws at you.. Finish school.. Show up and make the best of it. For me the only things in school I liked was looking at Sherry Cole in biology and riding the bus home in the afternoon.. But I'm glad I stuck it out.

Peace.

 

Nope.
but I'm having a rough time with university, this year in particular.

You've got to find somethign that excites you, something that makes you want to go to school. High school for me was great because all my friends were there, it was really the only way I got to see most of them (lived on an acreage out of town, one ride in one ride out of town per day). Some of the classes were massively dull, some of them were tough (physics in particular for me), some of the classes were super fun (teh teachers liked our class and could be talked out of nasty papers and into creative writing).

University... I know no one in my classes, the material is bizarre, a great deal of it is taught from teh textbooks or notes posted online (makes it difficult to get to class). So I'm going to start volutneering on campus and hopefully that'll give me a reason to go.

Try joining some clubs or after school activities. I was in the model UN and the human rights society in my high school, they were really fun. If no interesting groups exist, think of one and start it yourself.

 

i got kicked out for having weed in my car at school... so i had to get my GED.
now looking back, i should of dropped out much sooner and got my GED earlyer.
ill be starting college in january.

 

it's the first time, really, in your whole life, when you have to push through boring shit. tough it out, it's a character builde. get more sleep. teenaged brains are in a groth spurt, like a toddler's. it exhausting. but everyone i've ever known will confess (usually when drunk) that it does mean something in the end.

 

high school is a big fucking game, enjoy it, the real life is alot worse
fuck high school drama, beating the high school system is easy enough if you're smart about it...do drugs, dick around, drink to copious excess...high school is one big play ground and have the most fun you can, it'll be over before you know it
HAVE FUN!!!

 

Highschool was the shittiest time of my life ever. To sum things up: way too much homework, living away from home, relationship issues, depression, and much much more....<_<;;

It really sucks now but you'll manage to get through it.

 

High school has been rediculously easy for me. Being popular and being sligtly smart and having a personality that makes most teacher like you gets you through easy.

 

i think modern high school is a ridiculous concept.

everyone in this thread is saying, i hated high school, or i dropped out, or i liked it because i got to see my friends....
but the funny thing is no one said "i like high school, because i learned something"
i mean isn't learning the point of school? not in todays high school!
todays high school is for nothing more than busy work, "babysitting", and socializing.

college preperation my ass! the whole scture of elementary, middle, and high schools are all out of whack, and could definitly use some re-working!

 

well, i learned in high school - not book smarts though. learned more about the realities of life. three of my teachers: tony, megan, and tricia were great and yes, i called them by their names because they taught me about life, rather than just what the class was.

not too many i know of were that close to 1 teacher, nevermind 3 teachers

 

i was a streight D- student. i even flunked p.e. all four years. i think i'd have done way better if i hadn't been living with my parents and hadn't had to take crap that was neither interesting nor at all usefull.

my one class i got a's and b's in was band. i played french horn. i actualy got c's in math and science classess, well when they finaly let me into algibra anyway. things like geography and shop and drafting interested me but i didn't do well with them academicly until i was living on my own many years later and took them in college.

i really detested being required to sit through propiganda crap like economic and u.s. history, the way that stuff was so transparently dishonestly slanted in those days. this was back in the early 60s. that and that damd p.e. (gym) class they made you take, that i could have been taking more science and tecnology and art classess. i was really annoyed and frustrated that i wasn't able to because of all that propiganda crap they made you take instead.

if it were up to me, setting a ciriculum there would only BE tecnology and art related classess, and related things directly in support of them.

writing was interesting too. i'd get all sorts of good ideas, but i could never sit down and write them in time to turn them in to do any good. i would say my learning was seriously HINDERED by commpetitive nature of the school environment. NOT bennifited from or by it in any way whatsoever at all.

a lot of people who went on to do good things in life, especialy creative type people, are almost legindary for doing really crappily in high school. grade school too.

well you do need to learn what you'll need to use for what interests you.
education needs to take place between students and teachers and parents and politicians need to keep their fat noses out of it because they only screw it up.

I got kicked out when I was 16, not drug related though. I hated it so very much other than the girls and the drugs... lots of drugs... I lived walking distance from the school so I would walk home at lunch with a few buddies and get drunk or stoned for the afternoon, and one buddy often did loads of mushrooms too. Actually the only things I liked were getting stoned and drunk at school or home during lunch, and checking out the girls, cheerleader practice was awesome

I had a really bad attitude towards everything and never enjoyed it then, but looking back the point of high school was to hang out with people that some of which will become lifelong friends, and do lots of stupid things while you're young enough to get away with them... I sure did a lot of those
That also applies to university/college though you're old enough to get a criminal record by that time

One thing I really regret is not working harder to get my GED early, I screwed around for so long I'm only starting university now and I would have been done already if I'd started right after hs assuming I graduated on time.

 

high schools a bitch
