None of this info would be used to make fun of you of course.

bawwwwww my school is meaan to mee

My first semester of college I took a biology class that was mostly online except for going to the lab for tests and turning in work. I really liked it but I worry if I did it again I'd get lazy like my friends all do when they take online classes.

I don't know how this goes down in the USA but ¥¥¥¥¥¥ please, high school is not that crap as some of you make of it.

IF YOU ARE A NERD AND THATS WHY YOU HATE SCHOOL THEN: purely hypothetical:

Yes kids can be hard on you, that sucks for you then. I can not imagine that one year after high school in college all the geeks and nerds are suddenly well respected, during the education and even after they will most likely be bullied.
The answer to this is not homeschooling, because this makes you even more social inept, it is trying to find something in yourself that people will rather accept than the geek that you are now.

You can't run away from this shit forever.

/ hypothetical.

lol nerd.

I was a giant nerd and always will be but I was fairly well liked by most of the cliques in highschool . I took systematic conditioning and even made friends with the jocks and preppies. And my nerd friends didn't get bullied either even if they weren't exactly social butterflies. It was nothing like I was told it would be, I suppose it just varies from school to school and I happened to be lucky. My only real complaint was that we had shitty deans in sophomore and junior year.

I was not a nerd in high school, but once I graduated and run into those who were it just doesn't matter anymore. Then again, at least at my school, nerds were people who were socially inept, not smart people. So your problem probably lies in your social skills, which you appear to have none.

Suck it up, learn to communicate with people. It's a skill you are going to need in life and if you run from the problem it's not going to get any better or easier on you. Consider that you may be on the autism scale, aspbergers perhaps.

Fact: the people you meet in high school won't matter in 5 years or less.

You think high school is a big deal until you leave high school then you realize how fucking stupid it all was.

fixed.

independent study is a waste of time. if you really want to get ahead and get out of highschool, get your GED, go to city college for 2 years, then transfer to a university with most of your ge's already out of the way.

edit: well i guess like absinthe said

overall just nut up, if you have friends just hang out with them and who gives a shit about anyone else. throughout all of high school i only had a single group of friends and i just hated everyone else. i sat through class and dealt with that shit and now i look back and see what an utter waste of time high school was and was only thankful that i had those friends to bear through it with.

I disagree with this. Then again, I had a great time in High school, seeing as everyone got along. It's very odd how here in North-America (compared to South-America) the school system of "cool" people works. That doesn't exist down over there.

The constant harassment you receive in high school is good for you future. Teaches you how to handle criticism and learn to walk away from, or stand up to, other people's bullshit. The workforce is a sociable place, and you'll need those skills. You'll probably need them more than what you're actually learning in the classroom.

Am I seriously the only person who hasn't seen or been harassed in high-school within these forums? I honestly thought that was just in the movies.

I used to get harassed when i was a freshman, until I beat up the fucker that was giving me shit. I was friendly with everyone after that happened.

I wasn't "harassed." I just went through the same emotional bullshit any high-schooler goes through. The teenage years are a volatile time whether you are bullied or not.

I'm just saying that in most countries besides the USA and Canada, the whole highschool system of "coolness" and "cliques" doesn't exist. Everyone gets along with everyone.

I've seen it happen to some kids, but it's fairly rare and usually some equally disturbed kid trying to be bad ass at school. In the end nobody cares. And I'm still friends with a lot of people from high school and I've been out six years. (FUCKKKKK)

I was pretty liked in my school. I wasn't the most popular, but at least i got along with most everybody in my senior class.
