I absolutely hated school from the beginning to the end. I couldn't socialise properly, everyone saw me as 'weird', the whole system was oppressive and I seemed to exist askew from everyone else who seemed to be coping alright with it. It was my own little experience of hell.

This is more of a somewhat shameful bump. Than an actual post (I value what I wrote up there) so I'll give my simplified experiences of school.

I hated it.

Schools should accomidate for other factors like
-depression
-lack of friends (friend program or something?)
-extreme apathy
-ect
It can be improved.

I hate school with every fiber of my being. I made friends, but most of them were just friends to be with so I wouldn't have to be alone (no real connection). The same routine every day, the bullying, the awkwardness of the cafe (where to sit? Look up, but don't make eye contact. Don't walk so tense. People will think something's wrong with you.Yada, yada, yada.), fake people, teachers who put their students down if they mess up even once. Great grades, but everything else made me depressed. I dont even go to my high school anymore I take an alternative program. I just couldn't take it anymore. That was just high school, but middle school was equally bad. I enjoyed 1st grade and freshmen year only. I really hope college is better.

Yes, I did. I was good at it.

Apparently it may have helped that I moved schools a lot, only ever staying at one for a year or maybe two. although I was frightened of the other kids and their interactions, I don't think I was ever there long enough to feel ground down by it.
Whenever I went to a new school, all I could do was concentrate on the work and just be nice to everyone.
I had my moments and I don't think I was ever popular (LOL), yet.. something worked.

From what I can remember:

I liked Middle School(Can't remember why)

I liked Junior/Senior Year if High School. Didn't enjoy Freshman/Sophomore years.

I am 50/50 with College- Don't necessarily like it although I don't necessary hate it. I think that I will like graduate school more.

I hate school. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I can't explain how much I hate it in words.

And I have to go back in 10 hours.

First of all, elementary school had a lot of bullying, so I had a lack of self-esteem. Same in Middle School. Same with the beginning of high school. Towards the end, I gained some self esteem as a person. Right now I am attending college (community) and I finally know what to do with prioritising my school priorities and I have ten times more self-esteem then I did when I was younger, after being in my 3rd year of college. I am just a little bored with the fact that I am at a community college and I cannot wait to go to transfer.

hated high school due to bullies, but most of the teachers were good and I loved social studies (history and politics) and english.

Right now, I LOVE college....NO BULLIES here. 8)

Eight minutes and I have to go to school. I don't even understand my mathematics teacher, he's Indian, I didn't do the homework because I can't understand a word he says and have no idea how to do it. I hate that guy. Add that to all the other s*** I'm going through there and I can happily say;

I hate my life.

I hated school from beginning to end. I had to go to preschool, everyone hated me because I was quite. I've been hated in school for that reason ALL MY SCHOOL CAREER (besides college). Middle school I was suicidal and high school was filled with drama! I started feeling better about myself after I graduated from high school. I'm in college now. I hate the work but I feel more at ease there.

I have absolutely hated and detested school for as long as I can remember. In both primary and secondary school I couldn't wait to leave. In fact in secondary school I left quite a few times. :lol: I suppose sixth form(college) is a tiny bit better because of the learning but I still feel completely isolated and stressed out about it. I go there simply to get the grades I need to leave. The rest of it is just noise, annoying classmates who won't work, absent teachers :roll: , lack of common sense from certain teachers (I'll admit that a few of my teachers are quite understanding but one is just plain idiotic), and all the other crap you expect in school.
Down with the rubbish school systems!! !! !! !! :twisted:
