I have this Math teacher and im in 10th grade. She won’t let us ever go to the bathroom I have had to tell her I’m bleeding out as I’m on my period and she still gets mad at me and tells me I have to talk to the principal bc it’s unacceptable. Like am I not supposed to go to the bathroom?? I understand if it’s like everyday but this was like the 2nd time I’ve ever asked to use the bathroom in like 3 months of school. I can’t control when I need to use the bathroom. She makes it so embarrassing as I have to say I’m literally bleeding out in front of my other class mates. I have also walked in literally 1 second late bc I was behind a few other kids that were walking into the same room and they didn’t get a tardy and I did. She comes up and yells in our faces if I get an answer wrong and tells private info about other students. She talks about wanting to get rid of weekends and she’s making Saturday school mandatory for kids who are failing. I am already bad at math but I can’t learn anything with her as my teacher bc I’m low key terrified of her. What should I do??

I 15 (f) have been going to this new school and I really hate it. I am in 10th grade and this new kid showed up to school 3 weeks in bc he got kicked out of his other school. He showed up and the 2nd day he was here he was seen touching himself in class and has gone to the bathroom and come back with “stuff” on his shirt. He’s come back saying he was touching himself and the teachers hear this and do nothing. He makes all of the kids here uncomfortable he has stared at mine and my friend’s legs. It’s uniformed and I was wearing a skirt to school he bent under the desk while he was sitting in front of me and was staring at my legs and crotch. He grabbed my ass in the lunch line like after grinding up on me. He also tried to touch my guy friend’s privates. I have told teachers and they say they’ll talk to him nothing has happened with him. I’m scared to go to school bc I’m scared he’s going to touch me and I already have trauma from when I was younger. What should I do??

For an English essay I have to explain my view of "coming of age" and provide examples from my life except I'm literally a 14 year old and haven't "come of age" in the ways I need to support my essay. If I make up something random as an anecdote, you think the teacher would be able to tell?

I want to make a little extra cash on the side so I can buy this new Xbox but I cannot find a job yet because my means of transportation is not good right now. Also, my mom won't let me work gigs like mowing lawns, babysitting, stuff like that. And I can only use cash nothing digital or anything like that. I know this is probably a long shot with all of these conditions, but what are some ways that I can make money on the side under these circumstances? (must be legal).

Anyone done the Waterloo highschool math competitions?

Umm I'm currently a grade 10 student and I wanna participate in the Waterloo competitions

I did it in grd 9 and it was absolutely brutal, I had to even question if it was math

ik it's mostly complex word problems but that's exactly the issue how do we go about these kinda questions

this wasn't even for an ap class it was for phys-ed

I have phys-ed and doing the assignments are a big ass chore so I always procrastinate to the last minute but this time I completely forgot and finished the assignment later.

I didn't overthink it sm cus I genuinely do hate the subject but once I went to submit it, the drop box was closed and normally it isn't (ik cus a ton of my classmates submit stuff after the deadline)

and I'm actually gonna start tweaking.

cus why is it that when I finally decide to slack off a little bit the world wants to punish me

the weight of submitting an assignment late is killing me mentally but not even getting to submit it at all is brutal.

I cannot play a sport for the life of me so all these random shitty assignments are my saving grace yet I managed to mess that up

midterms are also in two weeks.

I'm genuinely tweaking rn, I've fucked my self over so bad and lowkey this might be my wake up call cus I've been on such a huge burnout session for the past 2 years and I've gotten carried in academics through natural intellect & procrastination. But I've reached a point where that has started to wear out and I'm getting dumber by the second

Stop coming to school if your sick if you have to do for whatever reason then wear a mask and cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm. People at my school sleep spreading bronchitis because they are staying home to practicing health habits please wash your hands cover your mouths and stay home if you’re sick. Also I saw multiple people walk out of the bathrooms at school without washing their hands frankly that is disgusting.

I’m only a freshman and the nerd type so all the help I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thursday I was walking back from lunch when I heard teachers yelling at kids to get into classrooms and people were running and screaming, I didn’t know tf was going on as I had both AirPods in. I went to the bathroom and found a group of girls hiding in there crying. I still didn’t know wtf was going on. Few minutes later I found out they pulled the shooting alarm by accident as the office was getting maintenance. The situation was fucking horrifying looking back at it how everyone was yelling and running.

Hey so im 14m and really like this girl. I go to a very small school with like 400 kids. I like this girl, 14f who is also a freshman. One of my friends tried to set us up but he stopped stopped. I'm not even sure she has a phone or anything since the only classes I have with her are gym and band so I can't do the classic homework trick assuming she has a phone. She knows my name and stuff but like we aren't friends or anything. Social anxiety is making it harder to because somepeople say just have small talk or sht. Please help. I'll give more details if needed just ask.

I like high school, it has some nice teachers and kids but I’m just going to go through a bunch of issues I have

1. grades, yes I get actively more demotivated by grades, it’s just a fucking number on a paper and it’s like a life or death situation for my brain. I have been coping with that by just eating junk food, I promised id be more healthy but that even fell flat on its ass. Grades were not around for Tesla and Jefferson and they were smart. and the worst part is that it’s been depressive and anxious for me.
2. One robotics teacher that I hate, I dropped out of his class, said that if you cant land a plane, you are only halfway there, cut some slack. Why anything has to be 60- is F. 59 is the equivalert of a 0/10 in it. I heard an article saying school is a good place for people who aren’t good at everything to practice but it really feels like whenever anyone below 70 is made out to be a despicable, worthless, loathesome person who should be disowned by all of their friends.

I’m a senior in high school and I am not worried about friends I have them. But there’s these two new people I’ve made friends with and I chat with all the time in class right before lunch for a blowoff class. We sit in the hallway and then one of their friends comes and chats for a couple minutes. Every lunch the three of them go to a local chain restaurant at lunch. I’ve only known them a couple months but we’ve been getting along. However they are slightly more popular types then I am. I want to go to lunch with them but don’t want to ask for fear of rejection, the popularity thing, and I don’t want to be the one to ask because it comes off weird especially since they are a bit higher on the social ladder than I am. I want them to ask me to do that during lunch but don’t want to ask them. They have known each other longer. What do I do? Please don’t suggest just asking them if I can come I don’t want that.

I helped my cs teacher with his repo. I feel so proud of myself.

im a freshman and im new to how grades in highschool works compared to middleschool. but in eighth grade i had a gpa of 3. something, but now in highschool i have a gpa of 4.3, which is weird because i quite literally failed some classes last quarter. is my gpa gonna change when i graduated 9th grade or how does it work?

So I'm 14 and in 9th grade and honestly I'm so tired of school and life in general. It's like the amount of respect Anyone gives us is 0. And I'm just so tired all the time, like I have a really important class right after school and nowadays I don't go 2-3 days a week cuz I fall asleep as soon as I get home. I'm just so tired even if u can't see it physically, and I sometimes wish I was sick so I'd have an excuse to be so stressed and all. The worst part is I'm only in 9th grade and I know this is nothing, like what's gonna happen when I'm in 11? What do I do????

For context I’m a high school sophomore.
I have this one friend lets refer to her as friend A and then I have another friend and lets call her friend b. So basically friend A I’ve known her since middle school and id say we are pretty close. And then there’s friend B which is more of a mutual friend between the both of us but she’s closer to friend A then she is to me.

I’ve gotten the feeling since the beginning of this school year that they have grown closer and that results in me being left out. It’s just the worst feeling ever I feel unappreciated and excluded. Anyways today I decided to stay back for lunch with then in our math teacher’s classroom because there my friends and I though they would be cool with that.
I then confronted friend A about the situation and asked sometching along the lines of “ Am I annoying is it weird that I stayed behind with you and friend b” she then responds with “yeah it’s a little random and friend B and I have grown closer and you and I are not as close anymore“ that kinda hurt me in a sense of like I’ve known you for a few years and we have been close and I feel as if she’s choosing someone over me. I just don’t wanna feel like an annoying nuisance that won’t leave one of my friends alone. It’s also almost as if she doesn’t care if we like never speak again. It also hurts knowing she said this and has thought this for a while because I know her parents and her sister and they’ve always been so nice to me.
She also insinuated that I should branch out and meet new people bascially. Which I somewhat agree with. But at the same time I’m like damn this is what you think of me? Am I like insignificant to you?
should I distant myself? Should I try and get closer with them?
anyways I need anyways or any thoughts. I needed this to rant and get my feeling ou.

In Math, I feel like I fully understand the concepts, questions, and overall material, and I genuinely enjoy it because I find it very interesting. but, when it comes to quizzes, I consistently struggle, often scoring between 50% and 75%. On assignments and projects, I usually score between 90% and 100%. This issue has been since 7th grade. I remember in 8th grade, where I had a quiz that I didn’t find too difficult. I felt confident that I had answered the questions correctly and understood the material. The next day, while in science class, I finished my work early and decided to check my grade for that math quiz. I logged into StudentVue, hoping to see a score close to 90%, but to my shock, I saw a 50%. I was stunned, especially since I had thought I fully understood the concepts and expected a good score. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience, and if so, how they handled it.

Mine are Kindergarten: Dillon 1st-5th grade: Ann 6th grade: Lina 7th grade: Dillon (again) 8th grade: Ann (again) 9th grade (current): Jackie Let’s see if we have any common names boys

She lets me tell her about my OCs which is just EPIC. and I like math. And she's really nice as long as you're not being unreasonable (which I unfortunately see some kids in my math class do). And also there's an assistant teacher in my math class who's also the best, she likes pokemon like me and I gave her a snorlax keychain because Snorlax is her favorite pokemon. And yeah math class is just really enjoyable to me because 1. I like math (yes I know I'm a nerd) 2. The teachers are nice.

For some context, I would consider myself medium to high popular, especially in middle school. But that is not who I am as a person at all. I am someone who loves and cares for everybody no matter society standards. I’m a cancer survivor since 2019 and I have learned so much and grown so fast (my frontal lobe) and I have such a deeper and bigger understanding for most things in life than the teens around me. This year is the first year I’ll ever be in school (besides preschool) with my best friend! I was SO excited yet the first few weeks were kinda shocking and rocky. For the past 8 years I’ve never gone to school with her so my mom always tried to prepare me, “she might be different in school than what you’ve seen outside of it” and man she’s right. I never chased popularity and I have no intent to, but it feels that’s all my best friend is aiming for, at most times they’re be parties and hangouts I’m not invited to and she won’t say a THING and this has happened multiple times, but I try to remember those aren’t authentic friendships and are simply there for the title of being towards the top of the popularity chain. There’s a lot more to the story than what I’m giving but she also tells me how she doesn’t even want to go to some of the gatherings and I’ve offered we do something instead, yet she goes anyway? Like what other reason than impressing popularity standers are you going? I also just quit a 10+ sport (dance) after it was mentally and physically draining which has been a super nice but difficult shift and I’ve definitely felt a disconnect from those friends. I started xc for my school and have gained separate friends through there, but not like I’d really hang with them outside of sports (or should I try?) I guess what I’m trying to say is I feel really lost if I should confront my best friend for disregarding my feelings recently when I’ve been nothing but an open ear and good friend to her + any tips on how I should find a strong group of friends that aren’t concerned in popularity/and are truly authentic? Do I try a new sport/art? Im hoping for some advice and I know this was a lot of writing and not enough explanation, but tonight has sucked and I just needed to write out my feelings. I hope Highschool gets better 😕

I'm a sophomore who just recently made the decision that I want to go to move to MA and go to college. I'm hoping to go to Simmons, since that's probably the best I can get and its where my older sibling goes. However, I'm not really the sharpest tool in the shed. 🥲

I got my report card a couple of weeks ago and it's not looking too good. I have a 2.17 GPA. There was one class I have an F in, and that was French somehow. I think it's because it's attendance based and I had to be absent for awhile due to an illness, but it brought my GPA down really bad. I also have lower grades in both of my classes that include a lot of writing. It's not that I'm not good at writing, everytime I do turn in anything with writing, it's always an A, it's just that its so hard. I can't focus (especially in my classroom, everyone is super loud, but even at my house, I still always get distracted) and it takes forever for me to figure out how to start it. I also have a really big problem with forming my thoughts into words and I make things way too complicated for myself (wish I could explain what I mean by that, but like I said, can't form thoughts into words).

Sometimes I worry that I'm really just lazy and addicted to my phone, but then I remember all those times I tried to sit myself down and be like, "Ok, this time I'm really gonna focus and get this done." And yet it always ended up with me on my phone, picking at my nails, drawing on the desk, searching up random things that are unrelated that just popped into my head, literally anything. I don't know if its ADHD or something since my dad has it, but either way, my issue with never getting things done and not focusing is really affecting my grade. I asked my English teacher about it and all she really did was give me an extra day to complete assignments. Doesn't really help since all I do when I get home with missing work is tell myself, "I'll do it later, I'll do it later." when I never really do it ever.

Another thing is that I don't know if I can ever make my GPA better. I know if I work really really hard, I can get it higher by graduation, but I don't even know if I can do that, and I'm pretty sure I can only get up to a 3.5 without any extracurriculars. My older sibling helped me with some of my assignments, but they literally live on the other side of the country and they're dealing with a lot right now, and I really don't want to bother them.

I don't know, I have no idea what to do. I don't want to do tutoring since that'll just put more stress on me, and I'm already stressed enough.

I’ll go first. My school plays the song “I like to move it” for 45 seconds every hour. Our assistant principal was like “When you hear move it move it move it to class”

About a month ago I posted about getting into my in reach dream college but now I’ve gotten into my out of reach college I’ve never been happier!!!!! HAWAII HERE I COME!!!!!!!!

Guys I'm new in the USA and I don't know a lot about the educational system. I'm a junior, and I have only 4 classes left to graduate, and I was thinking to take them next semester and in my senior year only taking AP classes...is that possible? Or I need to have classes with the school so they keep me? I'm 16 and I've only been in this country for 6 months, my GPA is 4.0 (in my country there are not honors classes, so I've never taken an honors class) I was thinking that maybe I'll do Spanish (My native language) as an honors class...but anyway...can I stay in high school even if I am ready to graduate at the time I finish junior year?
