We went into our NEWWW Classes, honestly i liked it but there was this old lady that kept pushing me and i didnt have enough place, my wholeee body hurted entire 30 minutes i was standing there, others were standing but there wasnt enough chairs and tables so we were like 10 kids standing, some girl was also standing and no one let her sit (idek why im saying this)

anddd SOME 17 YEARS OLD GRILLSSS SAID I GOT GOOD JEANS AND IM CUTEEE OMDOSMDOSM LIKE, I WAS JUST PASSING BY THEM I HEARD IT I DIDNT REACT I JS SMILED A LITTLE TO NOT MAKE IT OBVIOUS BUT OMGGG BRO I LOVE GIRLSS

Overall it was fine, kids my age were looking wayy older than me, they were sooo tall and hairy and just yeah, like the enviorement, our class teacher (idk how to say it) was funny, nice, old, shes something like below principal but above other teachers if i explained it right, she kinda reminds me of our old teacher in middle school.

BUTTT YEAHH I LOVE COMPLIMENTS I LOVE THOSE GIRLS THANKS SO MUCH IT WAS NICE YAYAYAY

Rant Year 12 National Exam Results: 34% Pass Rate Following Curriculum Changes and War Disruptions

6 Upvotes

We just got our Year 12 national exam results back, and the pass rate is completely insane: only 40,000 out of 117,000 students passed.

For context, our school year was completely disrupted. We lost 2 to 3 months of classes because of the US-Iran conflict and the threat of drones flying over us, on top of about two weeks of normal holidays. Expecting students to pass a national exam after missing months of school due to a literal security crisis is crazy. Did anyone else’s year group get hit this hard?

To make matters worse, this was the exact year they decided to change the entire system. They announced that Arabic and our native language exams would now directly impact our overall GPA. Knowing full well that most of us don't speak fluent Arabic, they handed us an Arabic exam that absolutely whooped our ass

Expecting us to adapt to a brand new grading system and pass a brutal exam in a language we barely know after losing months of school to a security crisis is crazy.

Plus online school is a 10/10 fail.

General Advice Needed/Given School is giving me anger issues

3 Upvotes

So normally I am a very happy person. But when a school year starts I get more pissed off and more hateful towards anything. I crash out at the slightest things, get incredibly pissed at slight inconveniences that I normally wouldn't mind. I was even hateful enough to want to see my teacher gutted, I cried out of anger at home and right now even thinking about starting my second year is enough to ruin my mood and make me mad enough to cry. How do i fix or prevent ts? I don't want to have anger issues this year

Rant Genuinely got mortified on my first day of high school

41 Upvotes

Here is the story. (I have been homeschooled since I was in 3rd so my only concept of school was elementary and I go to a magnet school so I have programs) So I get on the bus and immediately overhear that the high school prom queen who is a senior dated a freshman, got pregnant, put it up for adoption, and finally cheated on him with his friend. (Mind you this is within 10 minutes btw.) Then we finally get to my new school and I find my new locker and put my combination in. After that, I got to my auto program (the school has two full auto shops and the school is basically a trade school) and we did some preliminary stuff like shop rules. Then I went to pre algebra and they gave out the worst quiz of all time and gave us a calculator and then gave us a quiz about her. The first question was how old is she (if you mess up you will basically be calling her old) and the rest of the questions were easy. Went to english and realized that I'm not supposed to be in english and quickly went to French. During French everyone was pretty nice but after French and I was going to english, I saw another freshman victim to the "my friend likes you" and mourned him knowing he wouldn't survive. I went to english for 30 minutes and then we had our lunch break. When I picked what I want the cafeteria worker SLAMMED my food onto the tray and said "eat before you starve" then I went to pay and got met with a old lunch lady who was impatient as hell and I was trying to log onto Myschoolbucks and it finally went through. Now since I was homeschooled I didn't exactly have friends that go to my school so I picked a table and ate. Now my locker is extremely tiny and can barely fit my backpack (no backpacks outside of the lockers) and I only had 5 minutes to get from class to class so over time since I didn't have time to put stuff in my locker, it all piled up and finally I put it in my locker when I finally had the time. And finally I had my last subject. Auto again. So when I was fixing my backpack I realized that one of the straps got caught into someone else's locker so they had to open it and it finally got fixed. Went to auto and there were only two girls there and all boys like me and the two girls both looked like they want to shank me. During auto they constantly talked about how cute the new freshman are (I'm a freshman) and when we were discussing safety glasses and how you can put safety goggles over your glasses people realized I was the ONLY person with glasses on so EVERYONE in the class stared at me INCLUDING the girls that looked like they wanted to shank me. Finally got done and I went home. The end.

I genuinely don’t know where or how people find internships or programs that happen in the summer for high school students. Does anyone know where to find them? Also I would prefer if they were business related and not a 10k for seven days at a university thing.

College Advice Needed/Given What should I do?

Upvotes

I’m kind of conflicted right now. I’m a sophomore this year, and it just hit me that I should start thinking about what colleges I want to go to. I would really love to go to a T20 school (doesn’t have to be Ivy League) and my dream school is either MIT or Stanford. I already have a really good GPA and take as much AP’s and Honors as possible. I also play the piano competitively and joined a club at school to volunteer for kids in need.

I keep seeing videos of these high school students doing some major research work or starting a massive nationwide nonprofits just to get accepted to their t20 or Ivy League schools. I’ve been thinking about contacting a local professor for their help on a research project I want to start, but I don’t think that’ll be enough for me to stand out. What should I do?

Rant Poetry is the worst topic I have ever had compared to all the topics and all subjects I ever had in my school (I accept opinions against this)

1 Upvotes

Look, I know poetry would be interesting to learn, but me and my classmates just don't get on it.

  1. The language in poems is way too confusing, and we usually don't get it when we read it at the 1st time. We have it on English literature, and English is not my native language. The teacher explains what is trying to say, and I sometimes understand, but still, is confusing.

  2. The literary devices. They make the text richer, but in practice they just feel like a list to memorize.

  3. PEAs. If you don't know what it is, is Point, Evidence and Analysis. It's a paragraph that their structure is obligatory that you should follow, but that only cuts creativity, and every single answer just ends to be too repetitive, even if the poem changes.

I might know some people like poetry, but this just doesn't connect with me and my classmates. What is your opinion on poetry? And what do you think I am saying? You agree or disagree?

Question Is this creepy or nah?

5 Upvotes

So today was the first day back to school and we got some new teachers among other things we are going to be having p.e at a different location, alongside a group of seniors.

And the teacher basically told us that for a grade (I think) we are going to have to dance with them. Idk I think its a little weird since we're 16/15 and they're like 19.

Plus the teacher also said we cant, in general, wear tank tops or shorter shorts to p.e. (my school doesnt have any dresscode) because its a distraction or smth...

I mean idk do yall think this is weird, or am I just looking at it the wrong way. I really have no idea.

IM STARTING HIGHSCHOOL TOMORROW (I didn't go the first day) I'm genuinely about to cry,people from the same study program found people online (including me) and they already made friends! What I'm most terrified about is the stupid tests. Those aren't graded,just for teachers to see how the students are doing. AND I CANT DO IT I DONT REMEMBER ANYTHING oh the embarrassment I'm gonna have if she reads the scores out loud. I genuinely NEED advice what do i do?! What if i have no one to sit with? What if my class is full of mean people? The worst thoughts are running through my mind. I'm scared people on day one already made friends while I wasn't there. People always tell me "it's okay,everyone is nervous!" Yes,but they already made their nervous friends.. probably. I just need advice on what do I DO and tips I guess

I got there like 30 minutes early and just played some block blast and some offline games for a while. Then they started calling us in and I saw a guy I knew from middle school, we weren't exactly friends but we were on good terms then my homeroom teacher called me in, when I got to the class I was the absolute last guy to get there. He had to pull out a worn down desk for me in the very front row.

I'm terrible at focusing and I'm having exams right now and I really need to lock in and start studying but it's just not happening :/ i keep doomscrolling on social media or just talking to people. I'm in 12th grade btw.

This is honestly getting pretty bad for me 😭 I've had to stay up till 5 am to study because I didn't study beforehand and i just want everyone's best ways to focus and study. I also suspect I have ADHD but I can't get it diagnosed till I'm in college unfortunately.

Please drop any good ways to focus! I have tried many methods but they haven't really helped.
