If someone followed me into the bathroom I'd make a joke out of it, like, "Oh hi! Do you have to go too? What a coincidence!" Or ask them to pass you the toilet paper.
Mean, scary people--stay away.
Two-faced people--are at EVERY high school. Ask yourself, what makes them that way? It is their own insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with too many people. If you are confident in yourself and kind to everyone, then it doesn't matter what anyone says to you or about you. Maybe you have heard this a hundred times already. . .but it really is true. As you get older, everyone mellows out and guess what, gets nicer. Really. High school kids can be totally cruel and mean. But if you can rise above it you will be two steps ahead of them.
I was so shy in high school. I was always kicking myself for the things people said to me and the things I WISH I had said to them (come backs). But now I realize that if I had been more sure of myself I would have definitely had more friends, and I wouldn't have been hurt by the silly things people said (and sometimes they didn't really mean any harm).
High school is a fake world. Whoever is important there will probably never be important again. Whatever happens or is said will be totally forgotten after a year or so.
Maybe you should try to find friends outside of school, like a mentor or youth group.
And if you smile and say good morning to your teachers you'll find not all of them are so bad. I am sorry if you have bitter losers for teachers. Look at them as if you were their same age. Would you still see them in the same way? Or would you have some sympathy for them?
Try to get the best education you can. If you have to join some class outside your high school, then so be it.
When I remember being in high school I don't recall it being especially fun. The years immediately following--college and after that--were about a MILLION times better. I don't even think I had many friends in high school. I had one, but she drove me crazy. And then maybe 2 other girls that were younger than me. That was it!! But I did have a couple teachers who were totally cool. I will never forget them, and I'll never forget some of the things we studied, books we read, etc.
I just kept going and things went totally uphill from then on out. Do not quit!

Talk to your parents and come up with a plan to either "stick it out" and make the best of a bad situation. Or find another school, look for a continuation high school, a private school or home school. The last alternative would be to drop out with plans to do a GED and get yourself into Jr. College, but get the education one way or another.
Take a hard look at yourself, get real and make sure you are being the best person you can be. Get involved in community service feel good about helping others less fortunate. You have heard it all before: "Get A Life!"

I hated my school... not for those same reasons... i just was sort of "bored" with it... but, i get what you are saying.
So, i ended up taking early exemption tests and obtained my hs diploma early. It's a program they offered at my school... it's probably at most schools and you have to have a certain number of credits. But, if you aren't at least a junior or senior you have a while to go.
You may also have the choice of transferring to another school.
Your first step should be talking to your parents and then make an appt with your school counselor and he/she can discuss other options with you... if you feel you absolutely cannot take it anymore. Good luck...

Schools don't last forever. You don't specify which type of school you are attending, but focus on your studies and your plans for the future. Make the best out of iy. Is changing your school an option? Maybe you should research the situation in the alternatives.

Ignore the teachers and the other kids.Don't let them get to you.Just focus on your studies and nothing else.Sometimes its good not to be talkative it can save you alot of trouble and drama.As for getting over it just keep saying "it will be over soon."

i would really recommend being homeschooled. if you can't do that the best thing to do is pray everytime something gets hard for you.
