No way,high school is pretty good. I feel kind of sad that I will graduate next year.
Those four years passed way to quickly.

Bad? No. Hard? Yes.

And that would be relatively hard. Relative between those not as blessed in life and those who are. High school is the apex of character growth for people, and its experience is a lot different from university.

It's way more fun than Elementary and (maybe) college. But it's hard as hell.

I've always heard "it's the best 4 years of your life".


High School is the best four years of your life, well only 3 for me though. Make sure you go to prom, dear lord I hear from MAL all the time that they never went to prom.
yes this so much, you really don't even need a date to enjoy prom, like people that go there just meet up with their friends and have a blast anyway, i mean the possibility of going home and fucking is a nice possibility but the lack of that possibility aint worth losing the fun night of prom over

Huh?
I liked myself highschool a lot more than college. Also I did socialise with people and that was not reason why I did not like college. I was studying mathematics and fuck that work amount. While my mates were studying some herp derp subjects I was forced to study like 24/7 to keep up with good grades.

Sidenote: not sure what is college and university difference in usa.

Ah, I see. I was aware of different regions handling their educational systems differently, but I never heard of only three years. Hey man, you ever thought about being a foreign exchange student in the states? If you had decent grades you could easily get into an amazing college (and the US is the best nation in the world for secondary education) in a great area.

Sure, I thought about it but it's pretty expensive. I could get scholarships but it would be a very small part of the total amount of money to pay. Plus being abroad doesn't make me very enthusiastic, to be honest.
I thought nations that shared programs with the US had the same offers. In the US if we want to go abroad we simply pay the amount we would normally pay for the college we are attending within the states. So if I am paying 5,000 dollars a semester for the college I am attending in the US I would only pay 5,000 dollars a semester for the abroad college. There is no way the program I linked below isn't available at any decent college in France.

Edit: Uh, I guess you guys don't call it college. University?


But university education is free in France, so if you don't have the money you're fucked. I have the same problem in going to Japan for a year, the only way I can get the money is through a scholarship. Since going to Japan is pretty unpopular it's not that hard to qualify. Studying in the US is popular though so you have to have good grades to get a scholarship I guess.

I graduated yesterday and honestly the worst parts are...
Freshman year because a lot of your junior high friends will either start or stop being angsty and/or angry at everything. You will change friends and meet new people, but you will probably always go back to your older friends just to get pissed off at them again for something stupid and leave them again. It will be a cycle.

end of senior year because everyone is moving away and you have to make new friends. Luckily most colleges have programs for oncoming freshmen to make friends.

Edit: Pro-Tips, If you think you're smarter than everyone else keep it to yourself. If you think everyone is stupid and or has no morals remember that everyone grows up in a different environment. Just don't be a judgmental prick, no one likes that really.

The high school i went to was in a farming/logging town in the middle of the forest. By the end of high school everyone just wanted to get the fuck out. And once scholarships and advanced placement tests for college start hitting you, most seniors are so overwhelmed they can't enjoy it.

I mean if you're a popular senior and all the freshman hop on your nuts high school isn't bad.

High School's a joke. Even when I slacked during High school, I still managed good grades, but that wasn't good enough for University so I had to upgrade. High school is pretty relax - it depends on the courses you're taking. If you're trying to go into a math related course to say become an engineer and or doctor, etc - It's gonna be a rough path. I found Senior year the easiest with 11th grade being the hardest. (All the courses I needed to go into my path were there and I didn't take all the requirements I should've.

school isn't bad but people want to create drama where there isn't any because they live boring lives. Being able to complain about school or people at school gives them some sort of excitement when really it's all inconsequential. The one thing I can say about high school is that it's competitive, a lot of people try to one up each other and be funnier than the next person or be more popular than the next. Do what you enjoy and hang out with people you like, ignore those you don't.

As long as you don't spend most of your time in high school getting high, you should be fine. I've noticed people's attitude in high school sort of sets a tone of how they tend to act after high school. Have fun, but do take studying seriously.

People should stop thinking it is bad or good. It is simply a phase. You study, to get ready for college. That's all.

If you had difficulties with junior school, you will have to study A LOT if you want to do good in high school though

After years of hell in elementary and Middle school, High School was heaven for me.

Didn't have to put up with anymore harassment from bullies cause they got a taste of their own medicine freshmen year from the seniors. Also met some of the greatest people that are now my best friends.

I didn't go to prom and never regretted it because around half of those who attended said it was shit. Not to mention the fact that around 20% of the total class didn't even go in the first place.

As usual with these questions, it's entirely subjective. I will say that it's rather pitiful that some people will cling to their high school years and frame the rest of their lives around their experiences. I've seen it all too often, from the jocks whose glory days are long dead to the bullied, repressed sad sacks who can't let go of past grievances.

Its not so bad OP, Just don't back down when girls talk to you or boys try to pick on you. Also remember you are there for the education first and all the other BS comes in second.

It's totally fine.

Actualy high school is about two things, bully or be bullied if you try to be neutral one time stuff will get to you anyway.. you must act, or.. there is third thing.. and its just protect, yourself or others.. i think its the best but still it will make you a lot of enemies.. trust me, becouse of that i changed 3 schools and almost ended up under knife. But i guess it also depends if you are girl or guy and where you live.. :)

It depends on how you handle it. People can be pretty judgmental, but I guess you can find that anywhere. Just be real and don't sweat the little things.

Bottom line: results may vary.

High school differs from person-to-person depending on how that time is spent. You spend it with the cool kids, you do a lot of cool kid shit. You spend it with the band geeks, you do a lot of band geek shit.

Depending on how you spend that time will depend on how satisfied you will be with your experience. In some cases, you'll love it. And in some, you'll end up regretting it. It's all just part of the experience.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

Yeah, high school is the birthplace of AIDS.

Seriously though, it depends (like everyone else said before me). My high school life, which, btw, just ended, was without much activity. Just make sure not to get involved in unnecessary fights/quarrels.

I had the worst trouble fitting in and social life was pathetic for most of it. However I made some friends. Yeah, all of the things you heard are goig to be true to some degree in high school. Except the best 4 years of yor life thing: For me they were mostly meh to miserable. Senior year, which I spent in a diffwrent school and state was better.

It's a lot like middle school, but with a slightly higher proportion of hormonally imbalanced man (and lady) children. That's about it, really.
