Well I'm a senior at my school now so I'll be leaving after this year. What's going on now? Well to be honest we haven't actually done a lot recently... the new year 12s haven't seemed to grow up yet and they're all scared of us year 13s so they won't come in the common room or talk to any of us.

I'm still hanging out with my little group of friends, the same boy keeps telling me I stink and that's about it really. I've only really had a group of friends for the last few years (honest!). The only friend I had before was my best friend and we've been together forever. Now we're finding it difficult of course because we've both taken different paths in life. But our friendship's still there.

I've never had a boyfriend and the one person I liked has left school now (though I still talk to him occasionally). I don't really like any other boys at school and most of them are taken anyway. Although I doubt anyone would want to go out with me anyway lol. XD

I've been bullied since infant school mainly because people thought I was ugly and because I was very shy and sensitive and got easily offended so they found it amusing to make fun of me. But now I've got older and although I'm still shy and sensitive I don't let it get to me anymore. I've realised what I have and how lucky I am to have it, so bullies really don't concern me anymore. So now people tend to just leave me alone (apart from the one boy who's always being a jerk to everyone, not just me)!

Oops, here I am rambling on when you probably don't want to here about any of it anyway. Sorry, I'll make a more interesting update if anything happens.

Well I can certainly identify with your experiences of school anyway, but you're right not to let it get to you anymore. That goes for everyone - those bullies and the people who are 'important' socially in school? They're so used to pushing people around and getting there own way, that when they leave school and that whole scene disappears they can't deal with making friends and getting on with their lives at all - you'll see it happening! It's rather funny actually..

I think people like that feel threatened when they see someone who is genuinely happy with who they are, and can survive outside of their make-believe social circle - that's why they have to pick on people, to reinforce their own boundries and insecurities. They'll do anything to divert attention away from themselves. For example - that story of Tonya's...those people are so fickle and transparent it's laughable! You'll be so happy that you DON'T have to mix with them... Just be open and friendly to everyone, and genuine people with a similar view on life will be drawn towards you. You might not have as many 'friends' as the popular kids, but yours will be people that actually care about you and are interested in your company - you'll see.

Hope everyone is having a good time back at school!

I just moved back into college yesterday (though classes don't start for another week) and I'm looking forward to making up for last year, and meeting as many new people as possible.

And Cassini is right, I really think we have a special group of people here

I just started university today! The Philosophy lesson was boring like hell, but I loved everything else! There are some really nice people over there, and I could go on...

Imaginary Light · 09-11-2006, 12:28 PM

I'm a senior in high school now, and I love it. I've been having a lot of fun lately. All my teachers are great, especially my English teacher, who called Hamlet an "emo"...well, I probably shouldn't say the next word. But yeah. Fun.

BlooCheese · 09-11-2006, 03:32 PM

FRESHMAN!
My sister keeps asking me, "Why's your backpack so heavy? Oh yeah. FRESHMAN JUNK."
It's too crowded at school.
I am a loner in my first class. Mostly everybody came from the same middle school, and I came from a different one, so I know only a handful of people.
But otherwise, it's all good.

And Tonya, don't let those kids make your life miserable. You do what you have to do to get A's. Nothing else matters. (Well, that's just for me.)

GrimTheLost · 09-11-2006, 08:39 PM

You guys are lucky to have school. Cherish these moments kids. I miss school. To everyone who is a senior in high school: make the best of it. To the ones below: have funny and son't mess around, you don't want to repeat the class.

Tonya · 09-12-2006, 12:23 PM

Yeah, I won't let those kids get to me. And don't worry if you drone on and on about your school lifes in this thread, I made the thread just for the purpose, lol!

By the way, in Homeroom we were reading some books we got from the school library. So as we were reading our books, my feet felt a little hot so I decided to take my shoes off. Well, I dunno if it was the smell of my shoes, or the looks of my feet, but that boy, Shinky, who sits next to the girl who sits in front of me, he looks over down at my feet and then looks back over at her, whispering stuff. (I had my nose in the book the whole this was going on right in front of me). I couldin't really make out what all he said, but I knew he was discussing my feet. So the girl peeps down under the desk at my feet, and I could just see her expression, even though her head was turned. She looked like she was literally gonna throw up right then, and to make it even more obvious, she raised her hand asking the teacher if she could use the restroom. He said no because it was silent reading time. So I watched over her shoulder as she was writing a note about my feet making her feel like she had to puke. She passed it to Shinky, he read it, and then looked back at me and started giggling. Now at first my feelings were hurt really bad. I then started thinking what Wilt would do, and darn it he's so sweet, I had my bets that he would let them laugh and do nothing about it. But when I started thinking about what Mandy would do, (from The Grim Adventures), THEN for some reason I suddonly felt a twinge of evil, wickedness inside, almost something exiting wich made me smile. It was weird, but somehow I knew I could use my feet to my advantige. Somehow I knew she would pay. I just knew she would pay. Well.....low and behold not ten seconds passed after my thoughts, that about all of her folders, stuff in folders, pens, pencils, books, ect... fell of her desk and onto the floor. And when she picked it back up, as soon as she got in her seat it happened again! I was loving it! And then at the end of the day she did something in science class and got threatened a detention! She's the same girl who told me my pimples made her feel she had to puke. But it was great today! I knew I could use my feet to my advantige!
