Is (was) High school life the best time you ever had?

NOTE: Before you read on I would like to warn you that I have used a tad bit of foul language on this post as this Rant really is a major rant, so please bear with me.

We have an old 80's song here in my country that tells one that High School is (or for those who already Graduated from it,was) the best time in a person's life. The song goes on about High school being that moment in time where you had your first love, the first time you made out with some one, the first time you experienced a break up, the time of experimentation, a period between being independent & being still tied to your home &/or parents. A time where you treasure moments with your friends & of discovery who you want to be.


But, is it (or, was it)? Are/were the best times you had in life really happened during high school?

As for myself, yes & no.

I did have lots of friends back then, but we weren't really that close. Yes, we loved to play videogames after school at one or the other houses after classes or during the weekends & we did help each other out with our homewaorks & School projects, but we were never closely knit. This was because some of my so called friends were a bit of back stabbers. Sure we like each other & get along well, but often times someone would back stab another when that someone was not present or, you'd get peer pressure, choosing between your peers.

My High School didn't help either, I was prejudiced for having disabilities & I was barred from getting on the top students' list, even though I knew alot more science related facts than those 9 asshole bitches (the top 10 were all girls, now I'm not dissing on girls as I am a feminist so read on before you comment negatively), only the Girl who was first in my class, our Valedictorian was the truly intelligent one, the other nine were:

2. Miss number two was the vain airhead chick, she was the one who really looked down upon me the most, I really want to bash her face in real hard for being a stuck up Paris Hilton clone. But thankfully Karma caught up with her, in her vainfulness, she's now nothing more than a lonely old maid, she isn't as beautiful as she did but her cricizing men by their looks or the sizes of their salaries has left her, as we say last week's special.

3. Miss top three is the class whore, yeah it's true, she had slept with &/or made out with every good looking guy in the school. As a student, she only got to the top of the class because our Valedictorian helps her out during the test. Yep Miss know it all let's her friends (Top students numbers 10 through 2) look at & copy her answers on her test/exam paper/s.

4 - 10: I really don't know much about these six girls except I really, REALLY want to mow everyone of them down with a gatling gun or a really big rail gun & wipe the floor with their faces in. They're all just good cheaters, or the giggly, bubbly innocent looking but inside are witches that they are.

But one time, I Pwned their sorry asses on a Quiz Bee competition, yes, those 10 witches lost to me in a Quiz bee competition & the School wouldn't want any of it. They refused to give me my trophy & cash reward & on the next year I was barred from defending my title who on default they bestowed to Miss number one :'(

When I was in the final year of High school, again my School was disgusted that I got one of the highest scores in my class on the SATs & they "forcefully" had my final report card "hacked" to give me bad grades. Luckily some of the teachers who believed in me, had the school's computers hacked so they could put back my real grades. Soon after when my batch graduated, most of the teachers on my side left the school as a sign of respect which was awesome!

Another annoying bit, our stupid bitch (because she was a woman) School Councilor even forbade me too take up a College degree as "a handicapped person as I am doesn't need to go to College" as she said, with that, I stood up & spat on her face, I was suspended for several days but the teachers who were on my side boy cotted their classes so the school was forced to let me go back, again an awesome experience.

Then when I took the College admission exam for the University I wanted to attend & passed it, one of the top 10 witches was all emo & attempted to kill herself as she didn't pass the exam (I really wished she really killed herself though ;D) . Again my school was enraged but they couldn't do anything about it now.

So there it is, high school for me sucked ass & to be honest College was were I was happiest the most, unlike in high school, people in college were commending me for making it through despite my disabilities. At first I was apprehensive thinking they are actually laughing behind my back when I was away but they weren't.

How about you guys, is or was high school the best time of your life?

And oh as a side note, back in 2004 the school I was in fell into bankruptcy & the Director (the owner of the school excatly as the school was a privately owned school) died from a heart attack (good riddance pig! ) and his wife is still deep in debt even after the school went under, justice is served indeed!

 

After reading your rant I realized that over here, you would be considered as a hero, as a sign of hope to other disabled people.
I still haven't finished high school, but let's say it had it's up and it's down
and since I'm at a all-boys school we don't get much of that crap you just described

 

All boys school, so how do you get to hook up with some chicks? The next door All girls school perhaps?

Meh, I don't consider myself as a heroic figure as I did alot of the usual crazy, almost gets you in prison, things during college so it all balanced out eventually.

 

Yeah well actually there is a all girls school at at five minute from my school by walking, I think they had it planned out

and don't worry you're a hero in my book Cahos

 

I miss my High school life..especially all my friends...
but it's better when you're in University..or Collage..

 

High school life was okay for me, because I just kept going at the books, I didn't really take time to focus on girls (like I'm doing now )
I'd say college is better than high school, its just that you can get a criminal record in college and not in HS (ex drinking citations, drug citations etc)

 

Yep,
I agree with you.
But,those record can be painful in the future..

 

No credit cards, bills, rent, or obligations to feed yourself? Hell yeah.

 

hmm...
my first year was good(im on 2nd year now!)im a normal student with normal grades with abnormal friends
i mean dont have stable friends my 1st friend is paul who lives at U.P is a bit short tempered and very back stabbing and he also is the one who sticks to teacher to get grades but he do study well..

my second peers are 3 boys was a bit better they give me money i dont know why maybe because they are rich but the 2 of them are slackers who pay people to make them their projects which sometimes i do for some easy and fast money ;D haha

now about the girls ;D
i was crushed(that didnt sound good but what i meant is like this crush=to be admired by someone. so thats the past tense of that word crush ;D)
2 girls the two was ok but i dont want girlfriends yet so nothing happen we just got along well and i had many girl-friends i have friends who are girls in fact i had more girl-friends than boys which i dont know why

now moving on to 2nd year(the present)
i was again crushed ;D you now know what i mean ;D
im not really that good-looking maybe they like me cause their dumb and i have average IQ atleast thats what i think
i can understand english well blah blah blah...
well enough stuffs about me
and thats it the school year is just starting i hope it will be good

 

No.

I am an adult but I am being treated as a little 5 year old.
When you live in a Welfare state like VA you have a bunch of old fogies that just need to die. Then you have the next generation that are being picked off by these old people and their BS-Snipers!

I would be in conflict after conflict not with other students, but teachers and staff, about how they run things is the WRONG WAY TO RUN THINGS and that it is UNFAIR to THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY.

I am GLAD that I am out of High school.
Hopefully COLLAGE is not like that...well, at least not the one that I am looking to attend.(ECPI-VA BEACH)

 

High school, the best time of my life? Not at all - I've no freedoms, either at home, at school (although this is a given, but I feel especially put down), or outside of things, am likely, unless I happen to be the luckiest sunnovagun on the plant, to be single until I get out of this Godforsaken place, am going to the wrong school for my talents or what I want to do with my life (technical careers do not match well with a love of the written word) and...

I could go on, but I don't really want to xD suffice to say that high school, for me, has been an extremely bittersweet experience (and still is), but all of the good things to happen me get buried in the drivel too quickly for me to realize things.

 

Maybe not. But it's always nice to sit away from all the science and write something from the imagination. You can trust me on this one, I know exactly what you mean.

High school, well, it's been a mixed bag. But looking back on my time here as it draws to a close, I'd say that yeah, a lot of it will be the best part of my life - especially the last couple of years.

 

I hated my highschool years, the school i've gone to was supposedly elite, but it was just full of morons with rich parents. I hated the commute, i hate the "family" atmosphere, meaning one person of the class did something wrong, then the whole class would be scolded by the teacher.

YEah, but on the other hand i didn't have to worry about money and stuff that.

 

why do you hate them? I go to an all-boys school too and I dont hate them that much...
how the hell do you make friends then?

 

Have you met all students there in your school?

 

High school was the absolute worse for me. The only golden moment that still lives on from high school is my husband.

My high school life I was known as the pot head near grade 10 experimenting with marijuana and alcohol. Then I met my husband and then the marijuana + alcohol then involved with sex. Well about a year in the relationship I got pregnant. Oh noes. Well being in a small town with catholic ideals, I got a lot of crap from my teachers, some adults and some of my friends. It wasn't too pleasant because I was excluded, one of my only friends commited suicide the year before my pregnancy and I was left alone for a lot of my high school career besides my husband, some of his friends and one of my friends.

My husband's mom didn't take a liken to it so they moved 5 hours away into the city. Then his mom called me derogatory terms and told him not to see me again. Apparently I was the rotten apple ruining her precious. :3

Luckily (I use it in the loosest term, I would of likened to having one) it was a miscarriage. All the ridicule lasted me until around the middle of grade 11 when most of the students matured. Although it still wasn't pleasant as the teachers seemed to have some sort of vendetta against me and a lot of the parents did too, (they still didn't get off my back after one of my classmates snuck into the local bar and stabbed a guy and burnt the post office).

Lucky for me my husband moved with his dad in grade 12. After graduating we got married, and are extremely successful and somewhat wealthy. :3

 

A lot of schools do this now. My school used to try and do this but it didn't work because of so many absences and the lack of funding the school had. The school was funded by the amount of credits they give to kids. So say each credit per kid is around 100$. Well they couldn't afford to expel a student because it'd cost them. The most anyone got was suspension.

Well suspension is what the student wants. The kid skipped school, so the punishment is.. making him miss more school? What?

Yeah I skipped a lot of school. Eh, no big.

 

Well at least the bad is behind now Natewlie

as they say, you get good luck for every moment of bad luck

 

Yeah I can't complain.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

Cheesy, meh. Kung Fu Panda is too awesome of a movie.

 

I didn't have a choice in school, as I said I live in a small town, there's only one high school. I didn't have a choice to what school I went to.

Teachers all have some sort of standard, if they choose to discriminate or act mature, that's their decision, it's not based on if the school is trashy or not. Also the funding might have something to do with the school system. I know for Alberta's system, the curriculum gets updated every nine years. So there's a huge gap and stuff like social studies (which is mandatory here) we have to memorize exact dates, even though the next years curriculum, there's not much memorization to the dates. And a lot of the sciences are very behind the times.

For Physics 20, we had to switch back and forth between two 400 page books because one was outdated but had important information that we needed to learn for the final, but the other book was updated but didn't have info necessary for the final, but it was there to keep us ready for Physics 30 because the curriculum was being updated the following year.

Also some teachers were very good at teaching at my school, except this one teacher who taught us The Diary Of Anne Frank during Bio 30.
