I don't like those people. 990224 ... daxle I like learning interesting things and I like being treated like a human being Conversely, I hate school 990426 ... OTK Organised Regimented Dedicated Disciplined Dull 990723 ... Colleen My books are held close as I stare at the gilded upper class of secondary school. I am part of the other gang (those damned to discount department stores and cut-rate clothes). That smug clique glares back at me and with all the tormented sass they can muster, Amy jingles the keys to her new luxury car in my bus-riding face. She turns and laughs aloud with her friends behind sunglasses and unnatural make-up, barely concealing one helluva black eye. 991111 ... emily b i hate school. it's sunday night and i'm sitting here dreading school... everyone at my hates it. we ride to school in the morning and hope the bus will get hopelessly lost, because we'd rather drive around forever than get there. isnt there some problem when every kid i know hates school more than anything? 991212 ... nameless of course there is a problem! its BORING! i gotta go to school in like an hour...... i wish i could stay here and blather forever..... 000116 ... who me? no recess! 000119 ... purple tzar if only you were here I'd yell at you I was wrong I was so wrong Why the fuck did you leave and I would start to lose steam and the gears in my mouth would slow down and the words would go from livid to angry to dead and without feeling until your absence at the institution would stoke the fires once again. What? Yes, yes, I know. 000127 ... oodles You may all hate school, but I adore it. I believe that knowledge is key, and once you stop learning, you stop living. But school isn't just about learning academically, I've learned so much more than you could find in any book. I've made wonderful memories and amazing friends. And I can't believe so many people who claim to be intelligent and profound look at school with such a negative light. 000129 ... fucked a usless insitution filled with usless people that subject poor, innocent, naive children to unkown brainwashings and conditioning. 000221 ... marjorie it's that sickly feeling dread of wasting life in 70 minute incriments with a tapping pencil and a tapping foot and a window that catches your eye constantly 000520 ... Mary (If you want more info ask me.) Hey, read this before you go on to the next one! I have something important to say! Slowly but surely, school destroys your childhood...don't lose it! Who are the happiest people on this earth? Kids! So don't grow up...I'm 16 and I haven't! And I'm happy, man...You may disregard my words, but when you're 80 years old...you will wish that you held on to YOUR childhood. Trust me. 000711 ... Brad Mary had a little lamb.... followed her to school one day... broke the teacher's rules. Makes incredible sense. 000711 ... kim i'm sorry... but school and learning are not the same thing. you don't need school to learn all you need is life. we go to school for that piece of paper that is SUPPOSED to bring us our future. that's all 000712 ... Zoe i don't mind school. actually it is the summer so i can say that, but seriously. i hate going to school so early, and i don't like doing pointless work, but i really don't mind it. i think that if i didn't go to school i wouldn't have met my best friends. that would be hell! 000719 ... guitar_freak My school is like a prison. There are NO windows is the whole building. I have 4 hours of homework each night. All the money is put into sports, education doesn't seem to matter very much anymore. I can't go down the hall without the jeers of my peers. Just for being different. People wonder why I am depressed. 001013 ... Barrett Everyone is "different" it's just a question of if they want to believe it or not. And in six years, half of them will be: Pregnant Dead Or just as stupid as they are today. You, will be a rock star, and if not. YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF THEM. 001014 ... JBauer If you ask me... The reason so many of us hate our schools is that it simply starts too early robbing us of the most precious thing in most of our days... sleep. Sleep deprivation was used as a form of torture in the Korean war to lessen the resistance of certain American Pilots. But without at least some schooling I fear that the entire country would be dumber than they are today... hard to belive isn't it. 001207 ... guitar_freak If everyone didn't seperate themselves everything would be so much better. The only reason people are popular is because everyone else LETS them be. If so much of the school dislikes them, why do people let them walk all over your self-esteem? You don't have to. Who cares if a person doesn't get their clothes from the Gap and Old Navy? Who cares if they do? They are just clothes and one can't let themselves be put into catagories. The best friends are the ones who are not corrupted by the politics of popularity. Even if I go to school every day with the glares of the "popular" who used to be my friends, I realizes that I have something they never will. Individuality. I would rather have that then have all the friends in the world. 001218 ... twiggie freshman year i went to a catholic school. i hated most of the people there, but i found a group of friends that kept me sane. (and surprise, the catholic group still remains to be my best friends). sophmore year i went to a public school, thinking it'd be better than the catholic one. i was so wrong. i can't imagine staying there longer than i did. i hated everything about it. the principal was an ass, most of the teachers didn't like me, and why? because i didn't shop at american eagle or the gap. i thought how pathetic the "popular" people were, to think that they were better than everyone. to think that they could talk to me as if i were lower than them. i love the school i'm at now though. it's an art school. what you wear is the least of everyone's concern. there'll always be the people who believe they are better than me, but i've learned to push that aside. 001218 ... *spoons* school sucks but im happy cuz today the man inside my radio said school is stupid so they closed it. but the rumor is the roads are icy 010129 ... cyb Good thing we arent students in japan or korea where the student suicide rate is the highest in this universe....I think pub schools should have uniforms and dresscodes AND if your score is a D or F then you should get booted.....I always thought free education shouldnt be for EVERYONE...Its a privilige not a prison sentence....Take it or leave it and see where you end up. 010129 ... *spoons* dude uniforms and dress codes why thats fucking dumb because if people think they are better by how they dress now they can still show it in every fucking way like by the name brand of there pens! there jewely there hair they can show it down to there fucking socks no matter what you do you cant stop people from expressing them selves you couldnt lock each of us in a bubble and call us equal. What ever happened to the freedom to express ourselves and if you got booted for d's and f's that wouldnt be a public school and its not mandatory you do well its an offer you either realize what its there for or you fuck around and end up screwed later on. as for the japan and korea those are the places that have the strict dress codes and they arent allowed to express themselves as much as we are and every one has to have there hair cut a certain way. Im glad we dont have uniforms because its more money you have to spend on clothes you dont want Part of public schools is that you get to express your self in most ways and there are plenty of stuck up private schools for the rest 010129 ... guitar_freak so yes school should be voluntary, but UNIFORMS?!??!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!! Forced to wear dumb ass clothes and be just like everyone else. a fuckin drone. Japan and Korea are forced to wear uniforms and have their hair a certain was. NO WONDER the suicide rate is the highest. Ever think there is a fucking REASON for that? Sorry, don't mean to stomp all over your opinions, but i enjoy thinking for myself. wearing specific clothes.ahg 010129 ... cb Well if there are other ways to express yourself than why not go with uniforms.....Im just saying that after reading all the previous opinions about status based on clothes from the nearest GAP, I thought that dress code will eliminate all the status problems and that way students can focus on learning and not what she or he dared to wear or not to wear. And about the korean and jap students i forgot to mention the amount of hours that stufdents spend on their academics....(at least 14 hours a day, enough time to get ready for school&bed,and sleep)That is why their suicide rate is the highest...... 010129 ... cyb Well if there are other ways to express yourself than why not go with uniforms.....Im just saying that after reading all the previous opinions about status based on clothes from the nearest GAP, I thought that dress code will eliminate all the status problems and that way students can focus on learning and not what she or he dared to wear or not to wear.

CinnamonGirl I'm in highschool again... 010604 ... Dafremen We leave our home rooms and stand outside waiting for the bus to take us home. Boarding the bus our family waves and smiles, we wave back and climb aboard with them. Soon we'll be home again. Home with all of those who care for us and who we care for. Home where the rules are clear if stupid and the consequences consistent. To think, 2 more years til graduation then time to leave home. No more buses home, just stuck in mom & dad's house again. Sigh. Almost forgot about college! Yiipppeee! Home Sweet Home! (Hey home is where the heart is right?) 010604 ... kronoman School sucks.

Fire & Roses Zoe turned on her computer and logged into her mailbox. The e-mails from her teachers outlining that weeks work had already piled up. Grabbing her car keys she headoff to the school. Jesse and Caryn were in the library already and they helped her with her trig homework. Waving to Geoff and Mandy in the hall she made her way to the science labs to do her lab. She had a test in history on Wednesday at 11 am and so she and her friends went to one of the class rooms to study, ocasionally paging a tutor in their motorized cart to help them. But at last the day was over...

Melissa I don't mind school. Well maybe I do, but anyway I know If i want to be a success in life I need an education, and actually learn something. If you know it or not, school realy is important to everyone. And maybe some of that stuff you learn, you may never see it again, but its nice to know, so you dont walk through life with only street smarts, you need intelligence. It's good to know what your talking about. A persons brain can hold an infinant amount of information, the possibilities are endless, so make use of it. Once some of you actually graduate high school, and maybe go on to college, you will know what I am trying to say. 020801 ...

Yeah Right 030202 ... Nichole SCHOOL IS FUN 030303 ... niska the truth about school: there's no such thing as a permanent record. Once you're done all of it, and have to WORK for a living, no one will even care what was on your college transcript. You could have an F in the thing you do better than anyone else (like me) and who's ever going to know? it's experience that matters in the 'real world'. School is a socialization process. So don't waste it with your head always in the books, OR the clouds. You must find a happy medium. if you were home-schooled, you'd learn just as much, the only differnce would be you'd miss the prom. and probably have no friends... and never meet any cute boys... So, stay in school, even if it sucks. 030306 ... jolie only an hour left to go....but my eyeballs are melting out alittle early today....I can usually get out of here before they liquify, but today was a particular horrifying day....like waking up the morning after a party and you underwear are on iside out but you don't remember a thing. You don't know whether its a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on how you look at it....DUDE! I got laid!...then it would be good...I have no idea who they were, if there was a condom, or if they had diseases ..... then its bad.... Yep, thats what school's like my senior year....thank god I'm almost out....I won't miss the expierence.... only the times I fucked up....cuz most of the time thats when I had the most fun....it isn't easy to be a girl who runs with the boys and keep up....but I did it and it was a damn good time. 030324 ... x i don't wanna go!!!!!! 030324 ... jolie today has been a piece or shit. 030326 ...

Honestly, I have nothing better to do, right? 030505 ... whoever you want me to be Of course you have better things to do. Sitting outside is better than going to school; being outside when it is raining or snowing or beautiful out. Doesn’t that sound way better than going to school?

I am nearing the end of my mandatory four years here and I cant wait to get out. And when I say mandatory I mean its mandatory because my parents make me and society tells me I have to if I "want to do anything with my life." 030507 ... niska mandatory four years? what about the mandatory FORTY you're going to spend WORKING for the rest of your life? if you want a life where you don't have to wake up and be someplace you don't want to be, i can't think of anything to tell you that would fool you into thinking it's all fun and rainbows... right now your biggest concern is getting the diploma so you can be a supervisor, rather than a sandwich-maker, but once you're done, there's nothing left but dog-eat dog, and without a paycheck, you can't survive in this world. i certainly hope you realize that for the rest of your life, at least 8 hours of the day won't be as fun as the 8 you spend now, chillin' with friends, getting high and flirting with whoever you deem flirtable-with. that's all i did in high school, and I have a pretty good job. only 8 hours a day. but i also went to college. that's four MORE years... UGH! does the insanity stop? no. you should enjoy high school. it's the biggest free-ride you'll ever be on. 030507 ... niska i read that again and it seems my point wasn't really clear. you don't have to like school. in fact, the less you're there, the better. but enjoy this moment in time, it is over too fast. 030507 ... learning lifes greatest lessons I do understand what you are saying, but these four years have been spent learning about things I dont neccesarily wish to learn about.

If I were still in school, I could enjoy the full benefits of being young. As much as I loathe the place, it offered lots of good opportunities that are harder to find now that I've dropped out. You know, like education, friendship, sex, drugs, various new situations and new things to try. Just a thought. If only I could have put up with the bad shit. Unfortunately there's a lot of that in life. Not just at school. I don't want to drop out of life. I shouldn't have dropped out of school. I guess while I was there I overlooked the good parts, which was very easy to do because sometimes I felt like we were all just sheep in an institution training us to be part of the system. But like they say, the best way to change the system is from the inside. If you drop out of the system and then try to change it, you're looked at as a threat and dealt with as so. But if you're in the system and you try to change it, you have a much better chance at succeeding. 040523 ... nonlucid now that it's over (for now anyway) i kind of regret not paying attention, especially in english class because i think maybe i could have learned something from those people called teachers who know more than I do and will tell you more than willingly if you only ask i'm going to miss the phenomenon called high school... where you can coast and not work ever, never do homework and pull off almost-As, the lack of freedom combined with lack of responsibility (but I didn't know!) a good place where you can still be immature and forgiven (most of the time) very forgiving... too much perhaps. i've been spoiled by these two years, and will soon die but now it's summer, and the utterance of the word is verboten, 'till next year 040630 ...
