Answer 1

I hated high school (except for my English and art teachers, and my boyfriend, of course). I did have some female friends who were OK in my Secretarial Studies classes.

There were 4,000 students in my high school when I attended it. People tripped over each other in the hallways and in the staircases.

I hated Tuesdays...took off as many as I could, as both Swimming and Bio Lab were on Tuesdays. Swimming was horrible, as the pool was filled with sooo much chlorine that my eyes would be red for a couple of days. Bio Lab, and cutting things that used to be alive speaks for itself.

Most people weren't too mean to me...but I did have a couple of life-long friends, my two favorite teachers, my boyfriend and the girls from the secretarial classes to back me up if they did. Oh, I also worked on the school newspaper...those kids were pretty OK as well.

One semester I got out earlier than everyone else I was friendly with, and I was mugged by a bunch of girls I did not know. They knocked me over, took my whole dollar, my cigarettes, my bus and train passes...etc.

Answer 2

The bad for me was lacking self-confidence. I made up for it by being funny. The good was having friends I could count on to make me feel I was okay. Was I cool? No, I would never have attempted to be cool. Cool meant you had to pretend to be something you are not. I am not comfortable with that. Because I was just myself, I wasn't uncool either - except maybe to those who were being cool. Yes, people were mean to me and it did affect me, still to this day but I grew from the experience.

Answer 3

Im currently in highschool, Plenty of stress, anxiety not from the people really the work, so many subjects to do, To be honest I never really feel like I get a break until the weekend comes.

MON-FRI feels like a cycle of non-stop work and stress. It feels like the few hours i have each day to relax are precious so I use them doing things I like to do.

TEST TODAY TEST TOMMOROW TEST FRIDAY its driving me crazy, Im suprised I'm still able to stand up straight.
