Loves Disney said:Okay, so I'm in high school, right? Ok. And so I'm a senior, I think. At least that is what I am told. Sometimes I wonder about that though because the kids in my class act like they belong in the 2nd grade, no lie. They really do. If you want me to explain, I will. Last year, during lunch, my friend and I were juniors and were sitting at a table eating and getting all fat and everything. Okay, so there we are minding our own business and from the depths of the skys there falls something that looks to us like the saving grace. This saving grace nails my friend square in the forehead. Once I am done cracking up like a kid at Christmas, I realize it's a grape. Before I know it, the entire lunch room population is engaging in a food fight. Very civil...very serious because we all know high school is very serious.
In fact, this is how serious they were. Each food was thrown at an approximated trajectory. Each student had before hand calculated the projectiles of each thrown food item and thus allowed them to aim with accuracy.
If that was even half true...I think I would die...of laughter lol. Truth is, you can be piled with work and you can come home each night complaing and what not, but heck...it would taste a complete lie to say high school is more serious...perhaps seriously crazy insane, but not serious...unless you go to a boring school. lol. I know, as a senior, that there have been crazy years of work load...but that NEVER made high school more serious...just that much more insane!![]()
Middle school sucked for me. I'm not going to sit here and say..."Middle school isn't that bad, you'll get used to it" and a lot of fake words that make me more phony than half the girls at my school who think they actual have the mind to think those tight skirts look descent on them. lol. Middle school was hell for me. It really was. I had the worse teacher in history. She was my science teacher and made all the kids cry. She made me cry. Anyway, just about every kid was going through that whole adolesense stage which made them do insane things...things I cannot say on a family board lol. Anyhow...once high school rolled around, they wisened up and learned how to do things a bit more appropriately (HAHA as if). And they learned the art of rights and responsibilities. They learned that if you are going to smoke or do drugs on private property, you will get arrested. They learned also, the following:
Police officers do not appreciate being called, "Hey yo! Wazzup! Where are da rest of you cops?"
The school does not think the toilet paper is a pretty decoration and they WILL make other people clean up after your mess. More specifically, the health teacher WILL make her A-Block students pick up the mess.
Our local pond in the middle of the woods is not a good place to start an out-of-control fire.
You see, kids in my class and in my school are learning the essentials of life. The things they couldn't learn in middle school. I hated middle school with a passion and miss NOTHING about it. I love high school. I think. And I think I might actually miss it when I graduate (Psh!) Nah, I will. lol. Just hang in there...things get better from there.![]()
. Of course its crazy and everything; I mean the work gets serious. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a ''goody-two shoes'' when it comes to schoolwork. Life in general gets serious, but the from the behaviour, you would never guess; sometimes I think I'm surrounded by chimpanzees

The only other thing i have a problem with is seventh grade girls that think they are all that and just walk up to me in the middle of my conversations and they follow me EVERYWHERE and we have a couple of annoying people in our grade and it just gets on my nerves that people think they can do whatever they want but i love school.....yeah i said itno iam not a suck up

because no one has to be in the small lockers (8th graders get them but some years they run out of big lockers.) It also is good because you get to know everyone.Sparkle_Cherry said:LoL, I don't mean about the behaviour, your school sounds exactly like mine. Of course its crazy and everything; I mean the work gets serious. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a ''goody-two shoes'' when it comes to schoolwork.

I think it all depends on your perspective; what you see yourself at school for. Education or play-time? We all know we're there for education, but that's not always why we come, we go because we basically have to. If you choose to be serious about your work, then things do become a little harder in highschool, but if not then its all fun or a mixture of work and fun. I guess I just chose to be serious about school.
It's a personal choice so you, or I alone, can't tell these pre-teens what highschool is going to be like. It's different for everyone, and I do still have fun, just now I know that sometimes I have to get down to work.

its so dumb their is alot of other stuff but its kind of all the same... everyone thinks their so tough get over it ur not. 
Loves Disney said:I learned that you can't always keep your nose in a book because then you lack one of the most important lessons you could ever be taught in high school...that is the art of socializing lol. It becomes more imporant to be social than a lot of things. Really. Because no employeer wants to hire a man or woman who does not work well with others. And no employee wants to work with someone whose nose is stuck in a book. That isn't fun. You realize how much of your lives are at work? You may as well wake up each morning with a smile on your face and having the time of your life (respectfully) than waking up dreading the day.
People have opinions about being serious...of course and it is important for some to be so serious...but an equal importance is being both active in after school activies, community service and other similar things as well as socially.
High school shouldn't be serious. It should be a time to learn...and sometimes that means taking things to a whole new level! Ever see The Dead Poets Society? Is it serious to have students stand on their desks? No...of course not (in the minds of MANY). But heck...those kids learned something and had fun at it.
Sometimes I wish life was a little less serious...
.Sparkle_Cherry said:I wish life was not so serious as well, that's what I was saying when I said it gets serious and I just want to have fun. But unfortunately for us, that's not the case.
I actually have seen the Dead's Poet's Society, and I do agree with you on many levels. I never said that I don't do extra-curricular activites though; in fact didn't I say that I am involved in several different things? I said I have a job, I volunteer (at two different facilities), and I am involved in a professional choir among other things.
It sounded a bit to me like you were suggesting that I don't have friends or something.. ? Just because I think my school work is important, doesn't make me a stereo-typed bookworm, who ''always has her nose stuck in a book.'' In fact I never read in my spare time; I'm usually on VMK or the DIS! I for one, absolutely hate it when people immediately think you're a smarty-pants if you get an A. Just because someone is trying to benefit from the privlege of having an education you consider them anti-social?
I think you would be surprised if you hung out with those who get top of the class. They aren't all homework and reading, trust me.

Loves Disney said:Ah! lol, I wasn't directing the post towards you! rofl. I used the word "you" generally...I only quoted you because what you said was a stable foundation for what I needed to say what I did. lol. No no no, I didn't mean that "you" personally have your nose in a book lol, I was actually thinking of a few kids in my school. The main purpose of that post was to just give my opinion on schools and learning...Oh I'm sorry you took it offensively! That wasn't my intent AT all!![]()
Sparkle_Cherry said:Okay, just making sure that people don't form some bookish opinion about me on these boards! LoL.
I see exactly what you mean about employers wanting interactive staff, but my main point was that top students aren't all homework and books. Most of them are just glad for the opportunity to go to school, and are making the most of that privlege.
, LoL. Sorry everyone to fill up so much space of this thread.

lol. You don't have to prove your point.
lol. 

Loves Disney said:I never disagreed with youlol. You don't have to prove your point.
lol.
I know of one student at school who thinks it's live or die when it comes to his books...it is insane, really. His mindset is to only go to school for books...not friends. He thinks it is his studies alone that will get him far in life...that friends only bring him down so he avoids friends.![]()
.Oh of course not! My friend is third in our class and she is very active and what not.Sparkle_Cherry said:Yup, I have a Korean student at my school who is the same, but it doesn't mean all the smart kids have to be stereotypes of the few people who would cry if they got a B on a paper.
