I hate it. I can't even describe how much.

Idc how important it is. Idc how much I """""need""""" it. I hate it. And I will always hate it.

My parents called me for a talk five minutes ago, and they wanted to talk about my math grades.

Why? Because I want to work in IT in the future and it requires math so I can get accepted to a major... Headache.

Anyway, I just had a math test today and it went mid yk, I didn't answer only one question but I assure you, I tried my best. It's not that I'm bad at math, I actually got 100% at 8th grade.

Now a year later, and I'm barely at 70%.

How? First of all, it's harder. Second of all, I just don't want or care about it anymore. I don't understand it, and the teachers are bad.

Back to the talk.

They basically said that my uncle (btw, he's a genius) when he was 15 (my age) he didn't care about school either, and they don't want me to end up like him.

"But what do you mean like him? He's a genius aren't he?" You're probably thinking to yourself.

Well, it ended up that when he was older and was about to go to the university, he had some kind of a "haha you're bad at math" problem, and his parents payed a lot of money so he can learn again.... I didn't really understood that part.

Then they said if I don't get good grades I will get an tutor on the summer vacation.

"It costs a lot of money, and all of your hobbies too, and we don't want to do this. It's not a threat, it's for your own good".

And I thought to myself:

"Good?! How's that good?! Math is the last thing I want to do! And on the summer too?! Why? Because of some grades?! Wh-why?!"

Listen. I may be 15, and I don't understand a THING about life. But this is not the way to teach me. I wouldn't say math has "ruined" my life, but it's pretty close to that.

HOW?! How TF some X and Y can ruin my summer "vacation"?!

F*ck it I'll just trust my guitar skills and that's it.

will be swimming in PE for only a couple days, and i’ve never done this before!! im so worried!!!

how does it work? what do you wear? (was told to just wear a shirt & a pair of shorts but idk) where do you change? where do you keep your wet clothes? do you bring a separate bag/plastic bag for this? would you bring a towel/soaps?

im sure its different for every school but id like to know your experiences to help ease my nerves!! thank you so much 😭😭😭

I'm a freshman asking to see what upperclassmen think about freshman year as opposed to junior/senior years. Sophomores can answer as well by saying how much better (or worse) it was than freshman year, and other freshman can describe their year too lol.

I’m (15)and with a recent chat with my guidance counselor I learned that I am able to have my associate’s degree by my senior year (17). This has been something that I have wanted to do since ce COVID started watching my sister struggle with collage.Now I want to go into computer hardware repair and i plan to get a certificate after my senior year but will my work pay off. I have gotten this far because of fear of disappointment and disapproval. I’m scared that no place will hire me because I will be 17 when applying for some company’s . What do I do ?

So senioritis hit me a little too hard and the school sent my parents a letter saying I had 9 absences this semester. What excuse should I tell them? I’ve still been keeping my A’s and doing my work, it’s just that I was occasionally too lazy to go to school.

So this isn’t new, I had a 7th grade teacher JUST like this. However at the time I didn’t realize the issue in it until afterwards. Now that I’m older and caught on, I’m trying to figure out what to do. The issue is that she said something about me that is technically “mandated reportable.”

Basically my mom is abusive.

So I was at tutoring on Wednesday and we were joking about two students being fake violent to each other over chocolate. So I made a joke and the teacher said “yeah except your mom is violent towards you.” I laughed even though I didn’t really find it funny. Then one student (now works there) said it wasn’t even funny. Because it wasn’t.

But she does this a LOT! She jokes with the mean and popular kids too. I dropped them after constantly being disrespectful towards me, and when I told her she constantly says “I shouldn’t have dropped my friends.” Then when I tried telling her one of them was talking shit about me, the teacher DIDNT believe me cause “she would’ve said it to your face.”

Now another girl told me that she told her and other classmates that two students were sleeping with each other, she favorites one of the mean girls by grading her higher on essays.

Then with the racism, she was saying how black people complain too much about racism, I don’t know how to speak, implied that I’m angry all the time since I use AAVE/slang, said to the girl that she acts ghetto, and so much more.

The issue is that no student will believe you since they all favor her. When the girl tried telling people she’s a horrible teacher, everyone just side eyed and dirty looked her. However I noticed this is VERY common for people who have a tendency to be popular AND horrible, as you’re seen as the agitator for saying so.

I’m going to tell her on Monday I wasn’t okay with that since I’m working on being more vocal about my discomfort, but it’s difficult to report since:

1. What she said technically now turns to ME considering violence was mentioned

2. She’s the “popular” teacher, I have her first period, and I have her for my AP Literature class.

3. Speaking from experience of being in my school, nobody ever believes me when I say a student or teacher is shitty. I’m just the one villainized and blamed.

Hi so I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I’m trying to start a club. The main point is to raise money to donate to like cancer and to have field trips where we learn about medical related stuff. Any tips on how to get this going? I’m thinking of emailing medical professionals during the summer but that isn’t going to well! Any help is appreciated!!

TLDR: friend posted weird shit of twitter and i told the school counselor and she cussed me out and i think i ruined her life

We WERE both 14, which is important in this situation. We use to be absolutely best friends, i mean it felt like we were mentally connected or something but we both definitely had issues, i was already hospitalized twice for mental health and was in a very bad place. I knew she struggled with a lot of stuff but she was in a home where they didn’t get her the appropriate help and she really told me about this stuff and tried to help her. I started getting a lot better mentally but i slowly got a little worse. We both struggled with eating disorders and we both knew it even though we never told each other directly. One day she texted me a meme from twitter and i saw the user name it was something about being anorexic and i looked up the post and found her account in the comment section, i absolutely knew this was her, it had her name and age exactly and it all lined up too much. She changed her user name plus added a second account and showed her face, this shit was really graphic too of her cutting herself and starving herself, and saying weird shit, i waited a while to see what would happen. She started changing Alot, she got a crush on a guy at my school who had a girlfriend, she was obsessed and i mean really obsessed, she would log into his school accounts and found his address, she started saying she wanted to kill his girlfriend and i had no idea she said this until i told my friend she is acting weird and she told me she said that. My friends were also not worried at all and didn’t see the signs i saw. Then one day she started texting our group chat that she got back with a old friend who was super toxic to her and i was upset and kept telling her to block him and i really tried to support her but she got mad at me and said i didn’t understand. She started posting his name carved into her skin then started posting VERY personal stuff about my life and my mental health. Then started posting stuff about wanted to be groomed by older men and was already texting them. I honestly was done and i was in such a bad place because of it and i tried to kill myself, it was the wrong thing to do but i did it. I understand these places can be a safe for people to share but this wasn’t. I finally decided to tell the school counselor about everything. It was the day before spring break and after i did it i went to class normally, then lunch came around and i sat down then when she walked in she immediately started cussing me out, it honestly was a blur but she was saying stuff like i manipulate people and im a horrible person, that I ruined her life forever and started telling the people around me i talk shit about them and i hated them. Then she said “you starve yourself, you cut yourself” and “you probably cut deeper than me” the people around me started saying mean stuff to me but i wish I could’ve told them the real story. Im not friends with alot of people anymore because of it. Now i see her and she is constantly a nervous wreck and i hear her talking about her life now. I hope she’s getting real help or will one day. She ruined my school life and sometimes i wish i never said anything. Don’t say i was in the wrong because I truly don’t think i was for doing it.

2 of my old bullies from my old middle school are going to my future high school. I don't get bullied by them now since i got transferred to another school. But I will see them again. How the heck do I deal with them again? They almost made me cry during science class back when they bullied me. Any advice on this?

Ok my school only offers this class for a semester and it was first semester. I didn’t study at all after the class and the test is in two days. Any advice for taking AP tests in general or the AP gov exam? What should i expect?

Looking for some inspiration

My friend told me my gf is hella spoiled. I always knew she was way more privileged than us cuz she just got a Tesla (hand me down) for her 18th b day that she drives me in. and she lives in a way bigger house in a better part of the city and shit and her parents change cars like every year or two and they’re always fancy af

My friend went on and on bout how everyone thinks that and joked how I’m a gold digger lol

I almost accidentally said smth when we were riding home yesterday but I saved it. Should I tell her?

Ps might repost cuz I’m posting this from my bed and from my exp it means no one will reply 😂

so i officially am done with high school, and i wanted to reflect on some of the times i’ve had and offer some advice.

1. do extracurriculars! colleges love seeing extracurriculars on your application, and love reading how much you love doing them.

2. don’t be afraid to talk to your teachers. sometimes when you have a problem with grades or anything like that, talking to your teacher is the only way that’s getting fixed (more often than not).

3. wanna be better at vocabulary on the SAT? take latin!

4. don’t take Honors/AP/IB classes you can’t handle. i know this probably goes without saying, but don’t stress yourself out.

side note: if you already know what you’re studying in college, take the AP/IB classes that relate to that subject. and if you’re going into an Arts/Fine Arts field in college, don’t take AP/IB classes, colleges literally do not care.

5. get your license ASAP. don’t make the same mistake i did and have your parents drive you everywhere until you’re 17. having your license means you have more opportunities to hang out with your friends and stay out longer than you would without a license.

6. (this has more to do with the outside world but whatever) don’t cheat in your gov/econ classes. you need to actually learn things in those classes so you can be an informed person on current economical and governmental issues (and vote accordingly if you so choose).

7. take risks and try new things. you’ll never know if you don’t try.

8. having friends who support you is far more important than having a lot of friends. having a good support system in high school is CRUCIAL to not wanting to keel over and die every time something goes wrong. you will need people to talk to that are your age because there are some things that you probably won’t want to share with your parents.

9. don’t get upset every time you’re not automatically perfect at something (i say this as a chronic perfectionist). this mindset is only going to make high school harder. learning and mastering things takes time. embrace that time, take that time, and master the skill. don’t overthink it.

that’s pretty much it. if you found this post helpful, i am glad to have helped you.

college here i come!!

I need help in what to do. I am 17(f) and play high school tennis, this is a very long story, but I will try to keep it as short.

This is my 3rd year playing tennis, it is my escape and it helps me calm down. I love my hobby last summer I took 3 classes and put over 100 hours into my sport.

We didn’t have a good team this year since all the team had graduated the year before, my tennis coach is also a soccer coach and decided to recruit them to play. They are older but i was captain. It was a hard season since they had never played, my coach didn’t take the season seriously and the team didn’t want to listen probably because they felt I had no authority. They were captains in soccer and felt replaced by me because I was always chosen by my coach to play doubles or teach drills.

I had a terrible injury during a game that cut my season off, I played less than half of it. This was very said and I was put in a lot of pain killers and muscle relaxers. Then I had the unfortunate news my grandpa died and it was one of the most traumatic times of my life, nothing feels as painful as hugging a lifeless body. I was only getting 15-30 mins of sleep every day until I was prescribe with anxiety, and sleep meditation. When I came back the first thing I did was play tennis to help me relax. Sadly I found out the girls said I quit and all these horrible things. Then in December I was diagnosed with a rare disease that made my left eye partially blind.

By now 5 months had already passed and I would still hear my friends tell me all the bad things they were saying about me. I never mention what I was going through and went through surgery and was prescribed more medication. All this is to say it’s been a hard year and tennis is my escape from life.

Now during boys season I have gone made a total of 8 days. And the rumors have escalated to them saying I was showing off in front of my coach, and that I tried to show I had more ass and boobs? (Not possible since I lost so much weight, down to 83 pounds) and my coach would only pick me because I was flirting with him. They were insinuating favoritism because they felt my coach and I had a special relationship.

(Important part) [How do I proceed these are very serious allegations and can’t have this under my name. I want to send an anonymous emails to the schools they got into and maybe report it to school? Even though I doubt anything will be done. My parents have no problem acquiring a lawyer for defamation and emotional distress. This has been going on all year and I didn’t even play tennis for half the season and they are making things up. I looked past what was said before but now these things are getting serious.]

i j want to share my story cuz i feel embarassed sharing anything about relationships to my friends and need an outlet.

long story short I liked this guy from the beginning of the year and i know he know who I am since we exchange eye contacts every single class and afterschool activities but i jsut couldnt make the move to talk to him and ig he wasnt willing to either. fast forward a coupel months later this girl confessed her love to him and they started dating. It didnt even take a month for all of this to happen which just made me regret not talking to him in the first place. after that happened I tried to move on but it just made me hate myself for my introverted personality. I dont know how to change that aspect of me. Just make your move when you know the time is right or you could lose your chance forever.

hi im a senior and ill be graduating soon and i wanna make little gifts to give around to everyone who made an impact on me this year (teachers, classmates, friends, etc.) so that they can remember me. i know that its usually the graduate who receives the gifts so i havent found anything helpful on the internet. what are some things i can put together in a small gift baggie and give out to everyone?

I'm 67 now, I'm married with 2 kids, but like. I was called something terrible in high school. I can't relive it man. It scarred me forever. If I even see a letter that was in the name, I have a panic attack.

I've been to support groups, I've seen therapists, I've gotten medication. The only thing that helped was smoking crack, makes it a little better.

I thought about trying to sue them for violating the Geneva Conventions (civil version of it, whatever the equivalent is), but I can't because I'd have to write the word in the court filings. I might even hear someone say it or need to testify...

Anyways, what was your title and did you like it?

So basically there's one of those school accounts where they do stuff like "SHIP OR DIP" "GUESS WHO" "PRETTIEST GIRLS" "FINEST GUYS" and some other stuff about kids from our school.

They made a video mentioning me and tagged me (defending me because kids wanted to make jokes about dating my partner who they knew I was dating), I didn't ask them to, I don't know why they tagged me, and to be honest I really didn't care.

But because they made this video this group of girls are completely convinced I run this account. I've told them atleast 10 times now I don't run the account, but they're still convinced. I don't know why they are, I'd be too lazy to post and too scared to get in trouble at school.

Now, I don't care about students thinking it, I'm worried about the staff finding out and getting me in trouble.

Would I get in trouble for this? I don't run the account, there's zero correlation between me and the account. I don't care about it, I'm only worried about getting in trouble when I didn't do it.

I’m almost finished with my freshman year and high school fucking sucks. People never stop shit talking and cussing out teachers. Now I barely learn anything at my school. Literally the food sucks and they run out of water at my school from kids wasting it. The principal just spent 20k on terf that nobody ever uses or wants. A gym teacher was recently fired for having relations with his students. Is this normal 😭

haha i’m so lucky😃!!!!

I am a junior, and as you know that this is the most important year.

Before spring break, I went to the dmv to do you know whatever right. Skipping school caused me to skip a vocab quiz in english and so my teacher gave me a zero in the grade book. A week later, I make up the quiz with a few other students and he graded their quizes. I wasn't so aware since I believed so that my teacher was going to grade mines as well. Nearing the end of the term, I remind him about the zero and yet he still pushes and refuses the grading. Now, its been a week since the term ended and now my grade is in shambles and the teacher is acting like a jerk. Should I attempt to make a move with the councilors?

Like the affordable one and good for hot days

is it frequent for big high schools in sports (like montverde prolific prep or paul vi) to send scouts to look at other countries like italy, brazil or canada and bring players to play for them in exchange for housing? if yes is it frequent, and by order of superiors or rumours of prospects (like a coach in the other country has contacts with the scout/coach and says how good the kid is)

I'm about to finish high school, and never had a girlfriend, I'm attractive, fit , 15 percent body fat and almost 200 pounds ,it's more an skill issue , how do I fix it ?

yeah i might be cooked

Does anyone else feel like their school is just lacking school spirit and energy and willingness to do anything 17 M junior in hs

Hey, so I’m graduating in a month and want to get a thoughtful gift for my parents. They’ve done so so so much for me and honestly I am hardly the one deserving of all the celebration going on for that stuff right now. My price range is about $60 (I’ve been saving up and thinking about this since september, but still can’t think of anything really good—my goal here is to make my mom cry). It could honestly also be $50 for a nice gift for my mom and a cheap “one kid down two to go” t-shirt for my dad, I love him but he’s not exactly sentimental. Any ideas?
