So, how's life at school?
 

Let's all get together and discuss our lifes at school. I dunno about you guys, but there's never a dull moment at mine.

Okay, there's this one guy named Stewart who I sat next to. I think he's cute and I like him alot. He seems calm, quite....Stew doesn't like me like that, but than again I'm still the new kid, therefore he doesn't know me well enough too. Well, I told some of my girlfriends that I liked him. This other boy who goes by the name Shinky, he finds out about it. So, in math class, in front of everybody, he goes "Tonya and Stewart sittin in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...".
I told him to shut up and he thought it was funny. Then a few days later, this little annoying brat Reggie, he looks back at my seat and asks me if I like Stew. I say yea, so he looks over at Stew and says, "Do you wanna go out with her? She liikes you!", and Stew litarlly scooted his desk over all the way across the room, away from me, and I heared him whisper to Reggie, "No, I would die".
I just died! I slumped over my math paper and and almost cried. :(

That was cold. Very, very cold.

I have no friends im a loner
im not anti-social if your all wondering im just really shy
*sniff* I miss my old school at leaste I had one friend and people I talk too

I'm really shy too and I'm homeschooled! Well, I DO have these classes at another place I go to. I've got two friends, but they're both boys. Girls tend to not hang out with me because of my weirdness and love for anime and videogames.

Anyway, one of the two boys I hang out with I like a LITTLE more than a friend. He's really sweet, though, but he can't handle me. So I don't think he'll ever find out I like him until this silly little crush of mine passes. ::)

Yes, that was very cold. Of course, I still have a crush on Stewart, but it did hurt my feelings alot. The least thing he could have done was ATLEAST JUST simply say "No" and leave it at that. He didin't require scooting all the way across the room away from me.

And, I have a question, are you supposed to pop you're pimples? This one girl that I thought was kinda nice just turned around and told me I should pop my pimples. I told her that you weren't supposed to pop them, and she said something along the lines of "When they get like that, you do. You have to pop them when they make people feel like they'e gonna puke". And then she looked at another girl with better skin, while talking to me, and said "Why can't you make you're face look like hers?". I didin't think much about it then, but boy when I think about it now.....I'm gonna say something when I see her again. Then at lunch some other girls tell me I should get a makeover, get my hair permmed, ect...I tell them I don't have the money, and they tell me it's only 25 dollars.
25 dollars is a LOT of money to spend on HAIR when you don't have any income, and you can't even afford McDonalds, just to waste when you can buy real food that actually makes meals to last a week!

You'll always have friends here. We all will. :)

Seems like everyone's encountering people that are best described by a word that the Forum rules prohibit. I guess some things about school never change, do they? :(

Aww Cassini that was sweet. And yes, kaytea, we're you're friends.
*grabs kaytea and sings* We are family! All of us are sisters, you see? We are family!

i really was know at my school. i was one of those kids who everyone knew, but ya never wanted to hang out with (maby it was cus your mom told you not to) and i was drawing fosters pictures %99 of the time. i always got straight A's in chemistry, but had a F in every other class. then i got kicked out.

She is wrong. Very very wrong. Popping the pimples will (eventually) leave scars. The best treatment is just to wash your face with some good anti-bactreial(spelling?) soap and keep your skin clean. The pimples will soon fade and if you keep it up your skin will look great! *used to have very bad acne* And that 25 bucks can go to something more worthwhile than getting your hair done (and it will only look good for a few days also)

And ignore them all. Romantic relationships in Highschool fade and people WILL forget things that embaress you now. For example there used to be this preppy evil girl at my highschool (she made fun of me and stuff) but once we got into college and ended up in the same math class and started talking she said I was one of the coolest (and nicest) people she knew and she said she wished she had became my friend sooner.

If all else fails, remember if you get good grades and keep up a good personailty you wil make it a lot futher in life. (It was a good day for me when one of the people who teased me during highschool ended up sacking my groceries.)

I'll try not to let them get to me. I'm friends with a lot of people in general though.
Thanks for you're advise.

No problemo :D

Well I'm a senior at my school now so I'll be leaving after this year. What's going on now? Well to be honest we haven't actually done a lot recently... the new year 12s haven't seemed to grow up yet and they're all scared of us year 13s so they won't come in the common room or talk to any of us. :P

I'm still hanging out with my little group of friends, the same boy keeps telling me I stink and that's about it really. I've only really had a group of friends for the last few years (honest!). The only friend I had before was my best friend and we've been together forever. Now we're finding it difficult of course because we've both taken different paths in life. But our friendship's still there. :)

I've never had a boyfriend and the one person I liked has left school now (though I still talk to him occasionally). I don't really like any other boys at school and most of them are taken anyway. Although I doubt anyone would want to go out with me anyway lol. XD

I've been bullied since infant school mainly because people thought I was ugly and because I was very shy and sensitive and got easily offended so they found it amusing to make fun of me. But now I've got older and although I'm still shy and sensitive I don't let it get to me anymore. I've realised what I have and how lucky I am to have it, so bullies really don't concern me anymore. So now people tend to just leave me alone (apart from the one boy who's always being a jerk to everyone, not just me)!

Oops, here I am rambling on when you probably don't want to here about any of it anyway. Sorry, I'll make a more interesting update if anything happens.8D

Well I can certainly identify with your experiences of school anyway, but you're right not to let it get to you anymore. That goes for everyone - those bullies and the people who are 'important' socially in school? They're so used to pushing people around and getting there own way, that when they leave school and that whole scene disappears they can't deal with making friends and getting on with their lives at all - you'll see it happening! It's rather funny actually.. :blooevil:
I think people like that feel threatened when they see someone who is genuinely happy with who they are, and can survive outside of their make-believe social circle - that's why they have to pick on people, to reinforce their own boundries and insecurities. They'll do anything to divert attention away from themselves. For example - that story of Tonya's...those people are so fickle and transparent it's laughable! You'll be so happy that you DON'T have to mix with them... Just be open and friendly to everyone, and genuine people with a similar view on life will be drawn towards you. You might not have as many 'friends' as the popular kids, but yours will be people that actually care about you and are interested in your company - you'll see.

Hope everyone is having a good time back at school! :bloosmirk: I just moved back into college yesterday (though classes don't start for another week) and I'm looking forward to making up for last year, and meeting as many new people as possible.

And Cassini is right, I really think we have a special group of people here :)

I just started university today! The Philosophy lesson was boring like hell, but I loved everything else! There are some really nice people over there, and I could go on...

I'm a senior in high school now, and I love it. I've been having a lot of fun lately. All my teachers are great, especially my English teacher, who called Hamlet an "emo"...well, I probably shouldn't say the next word. But yeah. Fun.

FRESHMAN!
My sister keeps asking me, "Why's your backpack so heavy? Oh yeah. FRESHMAN JUNK."
It's too crowded at school.
I am a loner in my first class. Mostly everybody came from the same middle school, and I came from a different one, so I know only a handful of people.
But otherwise, it's all good. 8-)

And Tonya, don't let those kids make your life miserable. You do what you have to do to get A's. Nothing else matters. (Well, that's just for me.)

You guys are lucky to have school. Cherish these moments kids. I miss school. To everyone who is a senior in high school: make the best of it. To the ones below: have funny and son't mess around, you don't want to repeat the class.

Yeah, I won't let those kids get to me. And don't worry if you drone on and on about your school lifes in this thread, I made the thread just for the purpose, lol!

By the way, in Homeroom we were reading some books we got from the school library. So as we were reading our books, my feet felt a little hot so I decided to take my shoes off. Well, I dunno if it was the smell of my shoes, or the looks of my feet, but that boy, Shinky, who sits next to the girl who sits in front of me, he looks over down at my feet and then looks back over at her, whispering stuff. (I had my nose in the book the whole this was going on right in front of me). I couldin't really make out what all he said, but I knew he was discussing my feet. So the girl peeps down under the desk at my feet, and I could just see her expression, even though her head was turned. She looked like she was literally gonna throw up right then, and to make it even more obvious, she raised her hand asking the teacher if she could use the restroom. He said no because it was silent reading time. So I watched over her shoulder as she was writing a note about my feet making her feel like she had to puke. She passed it to Shinky, he read it, and then looked back at me and started giggling. Now at first my feelings were hurt really bad. I then started thinking what Wilt would do, and darn it he's so sweet, I had my bets that he would let them laugh and do nothing about it. But when I started thinking about what Mandy would do, (from The Grim Adventures), THEN for some reason I suddonly felt a twinge of evil, wickedness inside, almost something exiting wich made me smile. It was weird, but somehow I knew I could use my feet to my advantige. Somehow I knew she would pay. I just knew she would pay. Well.....low and behold not ten seconds passed after my thoughts, that about all of her folders, stuff in folders, pens, pencils, books, ect... fell of her desk and onto the floor. And when she picked it back up, as soon as she got in her seat it happened again! I was loving it! And then at the end of the day she did something in science class and got threatened a detention! She's the same girl who told me my pimples made her feel she had to puke. But it was great today! I knew I could use my feet to my advantige!

Haha, that was a brilliant story!! :D lol

Oh I know. It was a brilliant day for me! :grin: 8D

Great story, Tonya! It is just furhter proof that people get their just desserts (eventually).

That other girl is a big jerk.

Sadly, that's just not true. I have data which confirms this. :(

Then I just must be lucky :( *optimism destroyed*

Good things happen to bad people. Bad things happen to good people. But then again, what is it for us to question who is good and who is bad, and what is good and what is bad? It's all a matter of perspective...I guess. That's what (the perspective thing) I learned from The Phantom Tollbooth! It's a good book.

Drug lords and slave traders, to name but two, are bad, period. But yeah, that's just my opinion. After all, I also think that water is wet, so who am I to judge? Regardless, let's not turn this into a philosophy thread, something like that could get really heated in no time. Besides, I wanna hear somebody, anybody, tell me that they, too, like Geometry and/or Algebra. I enjoyed those classes immensely. As a matter of fact, I used to read the textbooks on both subjects just for the pleasure of reading them. :)

(Forum members point at Cassini, giggle, and chant, "Math Dork!" repeatedly...) ;)

If it makes you feel any better, I enjoy algebra. Not because it's fun or anything. It's just really easy for me to understand. I wouldn't read a textbook just for the fun of it, though. No offence. ^_^

None taken. ;)

I've always been facinated of that really high upper math like that, because I'm so far behind that I can't even say it on here. Ahhhh, all those wierd numder and letters. I wish I knew how to do it.
Okay, day at school. Did I mention, that girl is the same one who told me my acne was gonna make her puke, her name's Nicole. And today, Shinky looked at me and told me there was something in my teeth, it looked like a turd he said, and he was just staring at them. Then I looked at the girl, opened my mouth and said, "Is there something in my teeth?", and she said for me not to do that, it makes her feel like she's gonna puke. Then after class I go to the bathroom to look in the mirror and my teeth are clean, they should've been since I just brushed them an hour ago.
I mean my god, EVERYTHING about me makes her feel like she's gonna puke! And you know what, I think it's rather hilarious! I really don't mind anymore, I just sit back and laugh. She even got an aditude with the teacher today. And Nicole herself admits she's a witch, I can't type what she really calls herself but you know what I mean. And today this was how she acted on a GOOD day she said. Some other people think she's a witch too, yes that includes me.
I bet everybody gets tired of hearing me blab about my days huh?

Whoops! No more philosophy! (But I agree that water is wet.)
Yeah, I like math. But I like algebra way more than geometry. Geometry requires too much logic, and logic is something I lack in great amounts.

Or say, "Wanna see something really ugly?" And then she'll say, "Yes." And then you say, "Look in the mirror."

It sucks how many kids in Visual Arts are taking just because they need another credit to graduate or think it's easy or whatever. Aren't there people who take Visual Arts because they like art?! Where are you guys?!

Oh man that was priceless! I love that kind of humor! 8D

Or if you say, "Wanna see something really ugly?" And if she says "No", than say, "Oh okay. Just don't look in the mirror then."

I outta use that kinda line the next time when the girl who sits in front of me tells me something about me makes her feel like she's gonna puke again. ;D
But then, for both of me and vannielou, what if she tells the teacher??

Just tell her that puking will make her beautful, and that she'll get bullimia and starve to death. Deliver that with a smile.

Well, my school day's okay...

First period I have english, which I don't pay attention to.
Second period I have CHemistry, which is FUN! I'm gonna take Organic Chem in college. Explosives. Wheee!
Third period I have Gym, or a free, or chem lab. GYm was great today, we were doing fitness testing. I'm this teeny littel girl, and all the guys were all trying to do pull-ups. they got like one or two or three, one guy got six. I got nine. I have SO MUCH FUN doing that. Facial expressions=priceless.
Fourth period I have social stufdies, which is pointless.
Fifth I have art, which I'm in becuase it's what I want to do for career.
Sixth I have Calculus. (*waves at cassini* I'm a math nerd too! Textbooks are interesting!) I studied a bit over the summer, so when my teacher started in on delta-x today I knew exactly what he was talking about. Funnness.
Seventh I have free, or an extra period of calculus.
Eight I have german, which is funfunfun.

I'm in eleventh grade, though currently i'm only fifteen.

also today at school, we did medical screenings, so I got a chance to look at my records. So, being bored, I decided to check out my height/weight from like second grade... because i've been curious as to how tall i'd have been in comparison to mac. Since his coc card lists him as 3'6" and 67 pounds (right?) I was two inches shorter than him and like 2/3 of his weight. Which I fund amusing. Then again, I was seven in second grade, so...

Woaaah! By this rate you'll be headed off to college in a year! I wish I was smart like that.

Then you tell the teacher all the mean stuff she did to you. Yeah, I'm evil. Or you can just depend on that fact that she thinks she's too old and grown up to tattle-tale.

(to Kageri) I like art. I wanted to take a scuplture class, but they said freshmen hands weren't large enough to hold a pottery wheel...*looks at hands*...mine are large enough...
But once I had this art teacher in my elementary school, and everybody agreed she was psycho.

I'd probably be one of those people who would take some form of art for the sake of giving my GPA a little boost after a particularly bad semester (assuming that the rest of the other classes are packed). You wanna know what sucks more? Your car making funny noises.

Completely off-topic, I know. I just had to let it out. It's driving me nuts and I'm poor. My car is kind and doesn't guzzle up the $3 gas.

I think it'd be fun to take Visual Arts, but I'm not in that class. So sad. Anyway, here's what school's been like for me latley.
There's this one boy, and every time we see eachother he gives me a little shy smile and says "Hi" in a quiet sorta voice. He's done this several times in the past two weeks and it's becoming more frequent. I just don't know what to think of this, since I'm not used to even that much attention from a guy, and guys don't pay any attention to me anyway. I'm just wondering if he likes me? Probably not. But like I said, no other guy has EVER did this to me before so....I don't know. This whole "guy smiling at me" thing is freaking my emotions!
I know it's gonna sound really inmature of me but, how do you know if a guy likes you?

Oh goodness, I certanly don't have the guts! I'm shy when it comes to boys. Yes, the more I think about it, it IS torture.
Love is a beautiful thing, it's getting there is what I hate.

people in my school are shallow=(
the boys there only like the pretty girls and im far from pretty
