i start high school in less than half an hour. ~-ready to give up on life-~

[Zanaran2]

A helpful tip is to pretend you're playing that level in No More Heroes 2.

i'm a bit nervous about returning to school because half of my teachers are brand new and i have a lot of stuff being thrown at me. i'm the financial officer in jrotc and have to give a briefing for our air force inspection, i'm starting trig in my engineering and robotics class and i don't have my math whiz friend to help me anymore, and i'm the system administrator and pretty much the leader in my east lab class (and will be the person in charge when we go to conference)

my school has a 96% black community and it's impossible to fail. also there are fights like every night after school, we had a girl come to school one day with a dislocated arm, a boy had part of a finger severed from a rival gang member slamming the dude's hand in a door, 4 students are in jail for arson, and a girl got shot in the leg over summer break

One of these things is not like the otherrr

My high school actually isn't that stuffty. Hardly any "gangsters." There's maybe one fight per year. Only bad thing is that my school is ultra competitive, and like half the school is in all AP/IB classes.

Sounds like the public school I went to. I'm really glad I took the opportunity to go to a less-competitive magnet school (yes, that might be an oxymoron).

i don't see why not

one of the other district's schools has lots of special classes and they're pretty poor

plus she might be going to another school at the same time (I think that's possible?)

my school is like 400% wannabe thugs
its so funny really because they're all short scrawny hotheads who dont do stuff

[Katadeus]

My school isn't too bad, actually pretty great for a public school
and I don't start for like a week and a half

[weaver123]

I start college in two days. I'm starting it a year early.

so just because my classmates are thugs and irresponsible richardwads who aren't given any challenges by the school district, i have to be just like them? that's some stellar logic right there, time for me to drop my straight a's and step down from all my leadership positions because apparently i'm not allowed to be a decent person

[Biostorm]

School probably ended for him. First day, and he most likely didn't survive. May OP RIP in peace.

so uh

Good to see you able to rise above a toxic environment. I sure am glad that my high school had not a single black or hispanic person and that they aren't common in engineering and science either.

Yeeaaaa junior this year
I have some pretty chill teachers, my brother who recently graduated said that one of my geometry teachers like to teach shapes with macaroni art
And I'll also be taking a college algebra class this year too.  
I start this Thursday and I'm kind of excited for it.

i don't really have a problem with black or hispanic people, it's when they start to cause problems that i dislike them. in my school's case, they're causing a problem by being almost totally illiterate and almost getting the district taken over by the state because so many of them couldn't read. there were only 3 people in my freshmen class who were able to pass a 6th grade vocabulary quiz, and the advanced class did worse than the normal class. it's so stuffty here and i'd love to get out of it but my only alternative is to go to a school that's so stressful on people that they have to turn to prescription drugs just to keep themselves from failing.

I know, I was just being crassly tribal as usual. Where do you live again? I remember it being in the south, that would explain the high black population.

i'm in northeast arkansas, about an hour from memphis. i live in a really small town just a few miles from the mississippi river.

I'm about to be a senior, in a new school, that is a little over twice as big as my last high school
I mostly have easy classes, though, or at least classes I enjoy, so I'm not worried

[SlayerZ99]

Going into my senior year in about 2 weeks.

My school in about 95% white
3% hispanic
1% black
1% other
