I hated hearing the same loud, obnoxious people talking on their cell. In my mind, I would be thinking "why on earth do I care about hearing your stuff, talk normally... not so loud." I agree with you on the uneccesary math courses and being required to get a high SAT and ACT score. Though, I still made it to college without passing either of those exams.
I couldn't agree more! I share most of your grievances except for the school lunch. I personally bring food to school, so it's not a problem to me. In my case, the only thing that needs to stop in high school is the need for group works-- they're bothersome, A+ grade breakers, and the initiators of "fake" camaraderie.
As much as I despise Math too, I think all disciplines are worth learning and are necessary. I think you meant, "Necessary math courses that are not worth prioritizing for me"
School sucked. Hated that the image of the shining pupil was to be the A student who was in student government and took all the AP courses. Congrats to those kids, too bad staff didn't give much of a f*ck about the rest of the students. The work didn't bother me, it was the attitude. It just felt like one giant disgusting rat race to see who was better than who and who was the best above all; I had no pride in my school at all. I much prefer college.
About the Math part, you can't say the same about every single subject. Whenever will I have to know which is the difference between Neoclassicism and Mannerism if I'm not an Art critique? Having a bit of knowledge outside your own interests is a good thing, not a bad one, because it helps you seeing things from different point of views.
And no, you are willing to say that Math is difficult, well, that is just you. For me, for example, memorize stuff is way much harder than managing to use my logical skills to comprehend them.
i hated school too, everyone hated me, and plus, i always never did everything they made me do i just wanted a passing grade, until i was old enough to drop out / quit school.
They didn't make us read over summer break when I went to school. I always hated the rigid structure of HS. I always thought by the time you get to HS you have a pretty good idea what your strengths and weaknesses are and you should be able to take advanced classes in those strengths and remedial classes in your weaknesses so they turn into strengths.
It's entirely dependent on the school. The high school I went to, both juniors and seniors could leave without question. Since 16 is the legal age we can get our license in my state and most people are 16 by their junior year it makes sense. However, the other school that is in the same city the students of that school weren't allowed to leave for lunch at all regardless of what grade you are in.
Nah I thought my high school days were worse. However most of the stuff above you will still have to deal with in college but the people I am surrounded by now are so much better than the ones I was in hs with.
wow is that one slice of pizza an entire school lunch? also my school never served any food to us, i know my brother's school did but not ours. but it was ok, i could leave during the lunch break.
As a sophomore, theh domt make you do summer reading at my school, it spends on the class or if you're in AP. I definitely agree with you on the math thing. Math is my east favorite subject, and I nearly bombed my final last year. And to make things worse, im now in honors geometry! School lunches are ehhh They have this new policy now here if you miss a day, you HAVE to make up work in like, a few weeks. Standardized tests are the worst.
i hated high school too. i felt like i was an ugly loner... funny thing though is i married someone who was the class stoner!!! i dont know how i ended up with this bad boy.

I do agree with all of this, as I hated high school as was thrilled to leave on my graduation day.
But girl, when (and if you are going) to college... The amount of work you will need to do will make you freaking cry. :/
Oh boy 😂😂

That's why I said this was my personal opinion.
i hated school too, everyone hated me, and plus, i always never did everything they made me do i just wanted a passing grade, until i was old enough to drop out / quit school.
Hm, you dropped out?
yup, i wasn't going to graduate with the proper diploma anyways due to being in low end special ed classes.

A teacher saying 'no' when you ask to use the bathroom. That should *literally* be illegal.
Exactly!
Wait I have a question is it just American schools for lunches? are you guys are not allow to leave the school during lunch?
if you have a car and you're a senior then you can leave (at least for my school).
@kellogg022458 what really? in Canada your free to go anywhere during lunch.
Wait, do you mean like to leave the school? or just to leave the cafeteria?
@kellogg022458 leave the school area.
Yeah sometimes seniors can leave for lunch. You just need to get permission.
America is weird place.

Considering they don't seem to make anyone read IN school anymore, at the very least, you could read when you're out of school.
;)
Yeah but in my school it's required :(
You have literally summed up my life!
Good take :)
Thanks :)
:) :)

I think I am the only nerd that enjoyed doing summer reading. Everything else I agree with.
Thank you :)
Those are the things I hated too. Getting bullied was the worse and I hated it the most.
Same here. One of the absolute worst things.

Yep. It's gross isn't it?
Yeah, why dont they serve vegetables?
Nice one. Also do one with things that you loved about highschool 😛
Ok. :)

Good reasons, in fact, I hated high school for the same reasons :D
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
You're welcome :)
Wait till college and you'll have the time of your life :)
I can't wait!
