Was/Is High School a Blast or living hell for you?

Question

I'm in high school currently and its not so bad as I expected. What do you think?

This school year I'm going to be a Junior. We have the little cliques but I socialize with everyone regardless of what "clique" they are in. I used to have a little clique my freshman year because I thought thats what I had to do I found out that was so untrue. I learned NEVER believe movies and TV shows because they only depict high school from one perspective. It is sad how schools have changed even since my elementary school years things have changed drastically with violence and stuff. I don't see many if any fights at my school yes I do attend a public school! =D

Answer 1

living hell.. let me tell u this.. never ever join cliques.. i joined this group of girls who were popular for the wrong reasons. and that time, i thought it was fun, doing things that defy law and not get caught
but then my best friend from another school went out with one of the girl's boyfriend and guess who got the receiving end? ME!
i was shunned and they would call me a bee-yatch in front of everyone.. and they spread untrue rumors about me.. but it's not my fault! i cant even clarify the rumors because everyone believed them.. i resorted to having my lunches in the bathroom, like Cady Heron of the movie Mean Girls.. i skipped class for 2 months because i don't want to see those girls!

But now im in college, at the ripe old age of 20+.. yeah, because of those girls i put off sudying for 6 years, so not worth it..
but my classmates are fun, they see me as their big sister and they make me feel young all over again.. i guess it's not that bad.. u don't suffer forever

Life is what you make of it and sounds like you're doing a good job. Just use these years to keep an open mind about others and don't get lost in letting people influence who you should be. Build your character each day with a sense of direction and honesty.

I'm only 14 but anyhoos it's nothing special -typical, descriptive words. Maybe try expanding your vocabulary a bit. I'll just re-write a section for you, just so you know what I mean :) "On the way out of the door I also grabbed some black gloves and a bobble hat. I slowly walked away from the houses down the muddy path to the beach expecting the usual emptiness but as I strolled through the dunes I found that I was for once not the only person out that morning. Walking towards me was Carl Jackson, also known as CJ. He was the most popular boy of Larbrook high school and probably didn’t Evan know my name despite being in the same school and year as me for all of his school life. Every guy wanted to be his best friend and all the girls wanted to be dating him. " To: I made my way out of the door, grabbed some black gloves which looked like ebony on my pale skin, and my familiar, worn bobble hat. Just ramming it onto my head brought back memories of winter, when frost plastered the ground, and the days seemed frozen and the time just seemed to float past, like I was in a bubble. It reminded me of when leaves turn golden brown and float to the floor like angel feathers. So many memories, woven into the stitches. I left my house and the cold wind hit me hard, like a punch in the gut. I braced myself against the winter wind, scrunched my face up and pulled my fleece tighter around me. Light was splintering away from the horizon, shards of pastel colours painting the early morning sky. The path was muddy, and my wellies made a 'thwucking' noise, splattering mud across my legs. The wind steadied, slowing to a whisper. I expected the beach to be empty, but, as I strolled through the lopsided piles of sand, I realised I was not alone. The other person started off as a hazy mist, but as I walked closer to them, I realised it was none other than Carl Jackson, CJ to all those who know him. CJ had a lot of friends. No, that was an understatement. He had loads. He was the most popular, most loved boy of all time. He was the kind of boy that had girls wimpering at his feet like lost, forlorn puppies and guys following him around like he was some sort of idol. I realised, with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, that he probably doesn't even know my name, despite us being in the same school, same year, same everything. Except for the small fact we had never held a proper conversation. That was actually pretty rubbish, I changed tenses about five times >< But you get the gist of it. Try to use paragraphs too, and proper grammar. It helps break things up and make things easier to read.

It was great in the late 70's early 80's as we didn't have people shooting people either and we were free to be our selves and now it is a living hell for me to have a child in high school scared that they won't come home from a shooting or bomb and that sucks

Answer 5

A living hell. I hate it. I miss the good old days when I was small and there was no such thing as bitching, and pressuring from teachers to do well.
