Answer 2

There's always been a lot of debate over this question. I've noticed older people say stuff like 'don't wish away your school years, they're the best of your life', and younger people are just like 'get me out of here, this is hell'.

At the moment, I'm still in school, and planning on starting sixth form in September. But I can easily say my school years so far have been hell. Older people think we have it easy, but they honestly do not understand all the pressure and things that are happening to us at this moment in time.

I mean, bullying is far worse now than it was a few years ago. People get bullied for the slightest thing nowadays, for something as simple as having a different haircut to somebody else, or not being able to afford those top new football boots.

Also, there is so much pressure on people to do well in their exams. I really don't think this pressure was around a few years ago, other wise the teachers wouldn't say that these exams are the most important things in your life right now, they would be understanding.

And I don't think there was all this pressure for people to look slim and glamourous and trendy like celebrities. There are girls starving themselves to look as thin as an actress they like, because they think they will be prettier or they'll get famous if they're that thin. Boys do it too, or they think they have to have the same shirt as David Beckham, so they can look cool.

So because of all these factors, I think school life is generally a bad experience. To be honest, the only reasons I went to school were to see my friends and do drama. Drama and English were the only subjects I really tried in, because they were all that mattered to me. I felt so pressured to do well in subjects that I hated, or weren't so good in, that I just lost the heart to try. Sometimes, I even dreaded going to school in the mornings and just wanted to stay in bed where I was safe.

I know there were good times, like my prom, and hanging around at lunch time with my friends, and the school plays, but they were few compared to the bad times I experienced. To be honest, I'm really glad I've left.

Hopefully in sixth form I'll be treated more like an adult, and I won't wish I was severely sick so I never had to go to school again.

Answer 3

Hell specific that's genuine!! i'm 20, been outta college because would 06.. and that i pass over it ALOT!.. I wasnt a bookworm or a nerd.. I hated homework and instructors continuously nagging. yet each and all of the homework and graduating paid off for one reason i could have regreted it if I couldnt have been given o coollege for my laziness. yet thats no longer why they are the suitable days. as quickly as you graduate, you will comprehend that each and all of the homework and instructors, and issues you hated have been completly nicely worth it reason you truly had a blast. specific homework sucks, yet I dont think of on the subject of the lots of homework I had while i glance decrease back at school. I keep in mind the relaxing issues and dumb issues me and my friends did. and you wont comprehend you're making a reminiscence which will make you giggle your *** off sometime till you're outta college and faraway from those human beings. have relaxing, graduate, and make as many solid friends as you may alongside the way. Thats my advice,a nd Im no longer that plenty older than you :p So its in contrast to its coming from a verify. solid success, desire this helped you comprehend what the mothers and dads are turning out to be at each and all of the time.. i presumed they have been full of it too at your age. :p

Answer 4

I left full time education 14 years ago. While I enjoyed being at school (being considered a 'child'), I feel much more satisfied being out of the real/working world.

I can choose where I work, what I wear and when I eat. I still want to carry on with my education, but these days I can choose what subjects I learn, where and what pace I feel comfortable learning at.

Answer 5

An absolute nightmare. It's been nearly sixteen years since I left school and I still shudder when I look back. I thought my fellow pupils were bad enough, but the teachers were worse. None of them actually gave a stuff about the subjects they taught. Obviously the eighties had robbed them of spirit and purpose.

Answer 6

The responsibilities of most students in next to nothing which makes the school years the best days on one's life.

Answer 7

I think it was a combination of both. Though, at 24, I really don't remember much of my life at school.

However it all went, I'll always prefer my life at University :-)

Uni was the best thing I'm yet to do with myself :-)
The friends I made, the things I've achieved and the memories I have make University the best time of my life :-)
(Well, so far at least :-))

Answer 8

Neither really. I wouldn't go back though. Unless it was for the summer! lol - I'd be off! llf.

No serious. I had a few good friends which I still keep in touch with now. The rest were just a$$es who wouldn't have looked at you in school and when I see them now - they act like we were best mates!!! I can't be annoyed with all that now!

D*

Answer 9

ABSOLUTE HELL!!! well actually no to be honest i liked school up until year 8, i was a total swot and teachers pet and all those embarrassing things but then i started to think school was boring and started getting in to trouble, then i started to get bullied so that's pretty much when i started to hate school... i wouldn't want to do it again that's for sure!

Answer 10

I loved school, i was a bit of a geek in the first years of school and then i improved a bit in the final year of school but i had a blast. My best memories are of school trips or sports days. I would go back now if they would have me.

Answer 11
