Inspired by the PE Thread: What Did You Hate About HS

[CourtasanSatine]

I hated PE,especially during allergy season.Also the lunchroom food was so bad I ended up brown bagging

 

[stinkerbelle]

the stuck up snobby kids i attended it with.

seriously.

Dances. Do you ladies realize what TORTURE it was to cross the gym and ask you to dance? No one turned me down (and I'm grateful!) but the fear was still there, no matter how confident we all appeared.

MATH and PE.

I really had a great exp in HS, and have some good friends still from those days! It saddens me to hear of people that really were miserable. =(

 

[Gwene65]

Hmm....
I hated all math classes, oh and Science.

Oh and in my Junior year there was this girl who hated me..(I didn't think she was so hot either) and she always threatened to kick my you know what. Well she must have been too scared and she got her pregnant friend ( yes, I said pregnant) who also went to our school, to try to intimidate me. She was like 6 or 7 months too. I tried so hard not to laugh in her face whenever she would come up to me.


There is a lot of stuff I hated about high school, but honestly, it was the best time of my life so far.

 

[oogieboogie]

cliques... they were everywhere.

 

[chichihoney]

i did not like mid term and end of the year exams



the teachers would call my mom if i had chips and salsa for lunch and candy

 

[flaps]

The fact that I went from being a "normal" well-liked and involved kid to.........something else that I didn't understand. Which ended up costing me basically all my school friends, as well as enjoyment of most extracurriculars.

It would be easier to tell you what I liked about high school, and that would be Art, Journalism, my boyfriend (now DH) and a handful of girls that I grew up with and are like sisters to me.

As for the rest, I couldn't wait to graduate and get the heck out of Dodge (aka Baltimore)!

See, I thought all the guys were stuck up and thought they were too good to ask us to dance!LOL! They were just scared. I must admit I have turned down people to dance before. But they were creepy to me and one danced too funny! But, for the most part, I danced with everyone that asked.

I didn't like history! With the exception of Freshman year...those are the most BORING teachers out there! It didn't get much better when I took it in college! Real snoozers I had!

- Getting up early (or what I thought was early, I would kill to get up that "early" now)

- Geometry and Pre Calculus - yuck


I loved everything else about highschool. I liked highschool a million times more than college, that's for sure!

WOW!! I think you are the first person I have ever heard say that! I liked college sooo much better. The only thing I had a really tough time with (TBH) was telling guys that I wasn't interested. Dh and I dated for soooo long in high school, that by junior year, everyone knew who I was with. So that went on for two and half years and then, we didnt go to the same college. So that was weird.

I remember telling two different guys that I didn't need them to walk me home. But they insisted. Anyway...DH came the next year and all was well again.

But oh the work, classes, scheduling, was soooo much better in college! For me anyway.

The unsureness of yourself at that age. How incredibly awkward and out of place you can feel, even if in reality you fit in with your own friends and in your own way.

I hated the fact that certain teachers were on a power trip. I can't stand the fact that you really didn't have rights in high school. The teacher's word was the final word, even if they were wrong. In certain classes if you disagreed with a teacher or a certain point of view and wanted to debate it you were shut down and robbed of your right to have an opinion. Yes, I know that life isn't fair and that I'll have bosses at work who will be just as unfair, but it is so refreshing to just talk or debate a point with a professor in class at college and have the chance to speak your mind.

Teachers who were on their last year before retiring and really didn't care very much about what they were teaching, the ones that had just HAD it with teaching and couldn't care less about their final year.

The pressure that was placed on all of us to be exceptionally amazing academically. That is understandable, but at my school if you werent in Honors/AP/IB classes, you weren't paid any attention to. Believe it or not, most kids were in those classes. It was the kids who scored 80s who kind of got lost in the shuffle.

I hated that we didn't have any perks senior year. That was the year that the school decided to buckle down on ALL the rules and become very strict. BTW, the next year the seniors got most of the senior perks back after they saw how badly us seniors reacted to the rules and how they really didn't make much sense.

Wow, I sound really bitter, haha. I could make a list just as long as things that I loved about high school though. For every bad teacher, there was a good one too. I don't want to make it seem like I hated my teachers, some of them touched my life, I go back and visit them when I have breaks from college. On the other hand, there were those few who made my year miserable.

I hated math. Oh plus the teacher who looked at you through the top of her glasses. And someone always trying to share my locker because mine was in a better location.

For some reason I suddenly have the scene in "Sixteen Candles" where all the "geeks" are lined up at the dance!

In highschool I was done with my homework in a half hour on average, some nights were longer. In college all-nighters were frequent. In college the common equation was for every hour in class you can expect 2 hours of homework.

I would rather go to school from 8 - 3 than have classes at 8:00, 10:00, 2:00 and 7:00 pm, then the next day have a completely different schedule.

It wasn't all that fun not having any money in college either. I worked part time but only on weekends, that didn't really give me much money.

I never really got into the whole college life thing. I only came out of college with 2 real friends, it just wasn't the right environment for me.


ok - sorry for the side step there - back to what we hate about highschool.

I enjoyed high school, but I didn't like how the "mob mentality" turned otherwise nice kids into bullies, cowards (by not sticking up for someone), and followers. There was always the thought that if you stood up for something or someone, they would all turn on you. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, I enjoyed the play!

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

My PE class was first period. And we had swimming...In the winter....in Michigan...What fun walking around with a wet head for half the day....

And Cheerleaders....sorry to the nice ones, but all the ones in our school were NOT nice girls..

P.S. Ditto on your comments.

Oh and the Disciplinarian!!! I loved her at my first school, then I was.um well...excused from that one.

Anyway, the second one was HORRIBLE! he was really nice to me until he found out who my cousins were. After that, he had it in for me. The good news was my parents didnt like him from Day 1 and then the final moment came where it was me vrs him.

My mom was sick, and my brother needed her to drive him up things to college. a 10 hour drive there and bakc and my mom wanted me to go with her. SO I did. Well, it was the day before prom, so I show up at prom with DH (although not at the time) and he tries to not let me in. Well, that was NOT going to fly as a lot of the other teachers I got along with. So that Monday at school he tells me there was a POP Quiz in my math class and he wasnt going to let me take it. And then, he wasn't going to let me walk during graduation.

OOOHHH...I was none too pleased. So I posted a letter and DH had access to the TV"s and we posted what was going on. In the end, I got to do everything..but man..PITA that man was!!!
