How was your High School Experience?

[Blazedtown]

Those are such difficult questions. I'm not rich. I'm not popular per se, but I have a wide group of friends. Damn good looking? Um, no. Average at most.
And yet I still enjoy school.

Why do people like school?

You'll miss it. If I could go back and do it again I would, as long as it was with the same group of people, even the ones I hated at the time.

Because discussions between a stoner, an atheist, and a Catholic are always interesting. Especially compared to geometry.

I LOVE high school, honestly. I love going to the games, hanging out with friends, and I don't mind the school work either. The only downsides is our school is completely overloaded (over 2000 students, school was meant for 1500), and is kind of falling apart (roof falling in during rainstorms, flooding, lights broken, etc). Other than that, the high school experience has been the time of my life!

Time for a questionnaire.

Are you?

1.Rich
2.Popular
3.Damn good looking

If you are, you have discovered the source of your love of high school.

If not, DAFUQ?

1. Nope
2. Nope
3. It depends

Same here. Pretty much my final three or so years was absolute bliss. And that was full of times with people who I hated immensely.

Those are the best discussions...

[Gigaverse]

Mein Gott... You people have interesting lives.

Our High doesn't seem to have any Student President or Student Council. At such...

The students in the district also elect one student to serve on the school board. With an actual vote.

Also a water fountain caught fire once.

I'll take a wild guess that there's oil deep under the fountain.

Hell I hated it until the last weeks of senior year. I still miss it because even though I hated it, it was still pretty awesome back in the day.

That would be interesting. However, our school isn't very diverse. Most people are standard conservative Christians, and the atheists are still conservative, and don't really talk about it much.

My best years were my first two years, from then on things got harder.

Ongoing, but pretty good, no bullies good grades, Vice President of the Student Council.

My group of friends regularly debates religion and politics. It's quite entertaining.

We discovered it under the English wing two weeks later. Weird, though, that it managed to get three floors up before coming out.

Most of my school leans to the left, to the degree that the Young Conservatives club shut down because nobody went. Literally, not a single person.

Discovered which? The oil or the fountain?

Because I don't think many High Schools have oilfields directly under them.

My old school was really diverse, don't know about my new one though. :\

I've only been out of "high school" (it's called college where I live) for two years. Really shouldn't look back on it with nostalgia yet.

[Wolfmanne]

I know a lot of people here say they hate it. As someone attending secondary school, I don't mind it. It's a good laugh.

I am entering Grade 10 in eight days (as student leader, elected in May). Grade 9 was really awesome, and despite some stupidity on my part, the students were quite friendly to me.

We elected a freshie as our student president, too. Probably mostly because he said he'd put dividers on the urinals. I'd've voted for him, if I ever bothered.

We got compulsory voting at my school. Also, the SRC works like this.

Grade 9 student leaders - September or October
Grade 10-12 student leaders - May
Senior Pin and Watch - March or April
Other roles - appointed in May or filled by staff

The Senior Pin and Watch are really in charge of the committee. And note the plural for the leaders since there are two, it can be two boys, two girls, or one boy and one girl.

The oil. And that's the joke.

[Lesbia]

I'm going to officially be a senior next week, and it totally feels like the cliche that time has flown by. Overall, I've quite enjoyed high school. It is what you make of it, and I like to think I've made the most of the opportunities I've had.

It was like war. Long hours of boredom coupled with a few moments of terror.
My advise: stay in the trenches.

We're a farming town, so naturally, it's gonna be fairly conservative. Our area is weird in that a few of our rednecks tend to be more atheistic. We still have more religious people in the school, though they aren't usually particularly pious,and nobody really talks about religious beliefs unless directly asked.

Agreed. >_>

I did, and I crusaded against my enemies, small victories got me through the day.

Yep. Just stay away from the Neo Nazi kids.

Well, considering we have about 400 students, in a K-12 school, it's not completely un-diverse. We have a few NDP supporters and even a pagan. But I think she's the only one.
