High School
8 years ago
General
So I got bored and was looking thought some old stuff from high school. The memory were back and I somewhat miss it. It only been almost 3 year since I graduated.
I remember when they merge middle school with high school. long story school, school budget were low and teen pregnancy was increasing since then. However, it nothing the student couldn't finger out why they merge. Ii live in an area of poverty. "school suspension also increase 55% since the merge" accord to some person from the state keep recording of this shit. There A LOT of beef between school and closing down school was NOT a good idea. You're just asking for more fight to happen. The graduation rate on average was 40% in most school anyway. Why lower it even more?
And guess what? When the state thought they can take control of my area by taking control of the school, the graduation rate drop by 10%. If only increase when the city got control of it.
My school was the newest school around, so no one pay attend to us until we had ECA test score that average around 85%. on it second year again. THAT... that when shit when down hill. student from other school came over" because their parent thought its a good you need to be in." My school WAS able to pick who they wanted to join they school.... but the state took that right away. Well that was what I was told. The best principal I ever had we my first high school principal. She actually care for us. She would even help us on our English and math (she was a A+ Honor Student when she was in high school). Boy we needed her since the ECA was base around English and Math. My school was great. Boring, but great for the first two year, but those bad-ass kid from the other school just had to show up.
My school only had 7 fight i total out of the two year. That increase to 30 on it third year. We even need a police dog around. We were cool with the police in our school.. well most of us. The drug dealer (kids from the other school) wanted them gone. So much happen on the third year that our principal was deem "unsuitable" and relocated to a new area. The junior and sophomore (I was a sophomore at the time) protest the relocation, but there was nothing we could do.
It a shame that our first principal was gone because we had no idea if we had a new one for a whole year. We started with a new one. We didn't like her. She was WAY to stress. No really respect or listen to her after some parent put her on blast for making fun of a student that was clearly special needs. Not that you should have in the for place, but still. well apparently she left halfway thought the first trimester. Almost a whole year of not having a principle. I do not know how was that allow and possible we notice that lady was walking around so.... ya.
What shouldn't be possible was my English teacher teaching all grade level. She was originally suppose to just teach 12th grader, but due to the lack of teach she was assign to teach all grade, so I had the same English teacher for 3 year. Lucky she was far more easy over then the other. Ii didn't have algebra 2 teacher for a trimester. Actually we didn't have a real one for a year. We had a sub for a whole year and didn't know what she was doing. I feel bad for her since no one would listen to her. If a teacher don't ave any backbone then they will get run all over. That the reality of school for teacher. Well apparently the state cut us off. I don't know if that true or not, but they some bunch of hoe for that! I mean I don't like math, but still. Some do!
Near they end of school most student would skip classes to play games on their ps3, ps4, xbox one, etc. We were burnt from all that learn and we need a break. I needed a break to. It not like the teacher didn't know where were we, but that they needed a break too. Most can afford to lose some point since their grade are good. Some not so much, but don't care. People would play all kind of games. I suck at most game, but would almost any game they had. This was at the point of the year were social outcast could get along with even with the most popular kids around. I mostly play fighter and shooter. I was ready to ANY kind of Tekken or playstation allstars battle royale ( so underrated). Hell Overwatch. Everyone fucking hates my Junkrat cuz "he take no skill" lol. Those were some good time.
I know I'm talking about this like 7 paragraph later, but I didn't make a lot of friend. I was never really good with social interaction. It took a while to just look someone in the eye when I talk to them. I always prefer a small group of people, so a small group of friend was good enough for me. Honestly I look like a lost puppy without my friend. I don't know what to do when they not their. I just stay in class in finish any leftover work. I never really thought I could make friends. Most ended up moving away when we were bonding greatly. I just thought I was curse and didn't bother try for 5 year. I didn't make a friend until I went to the new school as a freshman. My first friend... I hated him at first, but the amount of god damn project we had together change my mind about him. I would never someone was my friend until I heard them say it. I didn't wan thing to get awkward between us. This one... this guy I first hate is now my best friend. I put up with A LOT of my shit when a normal people gave up (don't worry I'm a lot more calmer and less weird now).
Overall I think school is shit, but now everything was bad. What about your school life was like?

honestly school was shit for me, besides the fact that i was constantly fucked over for having a terrible back and couldnt have surgery til after college i suffered crippling pain in and out of school. i was bullied for two years until i beat the fucking shit out a kid for trying to shove me down a staircase, ended up suspended and lets just say there was a reason the bully victims end up the perpetrators. our lunches were staler than a haters comment chain on swords and fangs and the teachers didnt know jack shit. we lost 4 students to "suicide" even though everyone knew their fucking problems in the first place being god damn jocks. the nerds and theater kids were cool but normally didnt care about grades like i did, normally i studied in the library and checked out online webcomics through a proxy to rework the school block filter. the teachers confiscated magic the gathering cards cause the christian club thought they were satanic and only after i brought up that having the club was against rules and state law (hello seperation of church and state) we got them back. my favorite parts were gamers association and stand up club where i expressed myself for the first time, we would write dialogue to a videogame, others make the graphics and others beta test and we has so much fun, alos learned i had an nack for observational humor calling out fuckwads for their mistakes, "if i had an A for every time a girl got blown in the teachers lounge, well i wouldng fucking be here so ladies pucker up in the back please and remember just cause it has carbs deosnt mean you shouldnt swallow easy clean up." it was after doing that i earned popularity but rejected them alll cause if they werent there for me i wasnt there for them. graduating i realize were all the same but others wanna be high and mighty and end up fucking you over for the sake of pushing away i was just one of the few to realize it.

Damn dude. Yours was rough too huh. If there was any suicidal student. Friend of that student or general people would be like " I beat the fuck out of you if you kill yourself! Stop being selfish!" I usually work. I knew that there ARE people who care. Ans at least you had a club! I was still waiting for the funding to happen by the time I was an 12th grader. I was an 11th grader when this club thing was mention.

So true. High school NEVER teaches you how to live in this world. The thing you need to know. You either learn it yourself from trait and error or your parent help you on that like mines.

Tbh I don't think I would talk to you if you were in my high school. I was too socially awkward and quite to make a decent conversation with anyone beside my real friends... which they kinda had to force it out of me to talk to them. 9 out of 10 I wouldn't even know what to say (I kinda still don't).
