Wow, honestly I'm in grade 9 too and High School is amazing. No bullies, no annoying people and I go around making jokes about stuff. I don't know how your freshman year is so bad. I even told off some pothead in grade 11 because he started swearing at me, I called him a pothead RIGHT in front of his girlfriend. Of course, you may not be 6 feet tall and weight 180 pounds and play on the football team, but you just need to be funny, cool and be friends with everyone even if they're really wierd or geeky. But, again myself I DO have a problem now, an 85% average...... let's hope my rents don't blacken my butt...

Yeah, that explains it. Wait for high school to end....

I'm gonna stick with what eSZee said.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

What do you mean? Its not like the US where EVERYONE is CRAZY about football over here... its Canada.

 

[eSZee]

I lived in europe, I live in the US and I have friends who moved here from Kanedia. A jock is a jock no matter where you go and people treat them the same way.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

OH, I'm a jock now? SO I go to parties and get drunk and waste high school playing football and come out with terrible grades?

DEFINTION OF JOCK:

The kid in high school who's parents paid everything for. Generally having poor grades, driving a nice car as if he earned it, hitting on all the sl***y girls and getting attention because of his sell-out style and flashy white teeth.

Dumbass athletes who get all the chicks in high school. They end up bagging our groceries, cleaning public toilets and flipping burgers at McDonald's after high school. They usually like group showers with other jocks after doing their dumbass sports.

Young... males?(debatable) who believe that their sport is godly and better then any other sport, and that there is no point to life other then to play that sport.

I HAVEN'T had a girlfriend
I DON'T have bad marks
I DON'T waste my love for sports, in fact, I'm quite lazy.

whistle blows

Play will continue from first down, last play will be ignored.



Skyline, Dave didn't say any of that, but even here in Canuckistan, football teams tend to get some of the most support from the school, both financially and well, the social "perks". It's not meant as an insult (at least, I hope it wasn't), it's just that being on the team will definitely change how your first year in high school pans out compared to not being on it. Sports are the big social barometer in school (or at least, they were for me when I went through high school) 👍

I do agree with what you say, however, However, I am defending myself because I strongly believe that he did make the allusion that I am a jock, which in many people's opinions including mine is not something one would desire to be. By the way, looks like my parents won't be letting me to play football with my 85% average, a 95% is their expectation (WTF?, 92%ish is realistic)

 

[GT_Prologue5]

I just meant that it's not going to stay easy is all. Big misinterpretation here.

Jock, as in a person that plays sports. Yes, you're a jock and so was I. I wasn't alluding to you being a punk or party animal. I'm sorry that you think JOCK is a derogatory remark and you took it the wrong way.

Hey guess what it's time for the Domestic Disturbance of the Month!

Yep, another one. I'm not going into details because it's the same every time, and I'm so dulled and broken by things like this I don't even care. Sure my mother's a horribly crude and awful mother, and sure her boyfriends a hick tard who probably can't count past the letter 4, but I think I really don't care anymore. Yippee.

I realized I hadn't been in this thread for a while, so I thought I'd check in and see if your life had gotten any better. Guess not...

It's boring.

Today though, marks one year to the day of my Father's death. I'm so damn depressed, along with my sister saying I was a loser last night, and I was already criticizing myself pretty bad. Oh, ands somehow when my sister told me I should talk (text) someone about how I feel the first person she came to mind with was Kirsten. Now I feel even crappier and regretful.

Thanks life. Thanks a-freakin' lot.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

It's time for Stage 3.

As I bet if you read one page of this thread back early on, I was a madly lusting kid with a few ticks. As the times rolled on I lost the friends and gained new ones. You can probably realize I'm kind of speaking of Kirsten; and this isn't one of my complainy posts. Lately I've become inadequate, leading to a bit of depression accompanying my poor social life. I felt as if I couldn't do anything and I was already becoming a destined failure.

Where am I going with this?

These last few days have hit me, as a consequence of my madness I began to hate others (and you should all guess that target by now) and led me into just hatred and seclusion from the outside world. Through these few days I've given it its final rest, I've learned I have to accept the fact that I'm 14, I can't help my lustful feelings, but they shouldn't lead to sadness.

Oddly enough, each of these "Stages" had a daiki kasho song I was deeply interested in. The first one (lust part) was "Soul On Display"; the second (hatred part) was "Shadows of Our Past", and this last one becomes "What to Believe".

In case you couldn't understand what exactly made me the way I was and am, I wrote this poem a short while ago to describe it.

"To those eyes that view,
A man of silence and blue,
But only he sees the woman of great ride,
Ever so watching by his own stride
And maybe at times this was side by side,
But now a "Great Wall" shall divide,
The deathly love of a man,
And the ignorant bliss of a woman...

She was red, and that is why I...am blue."

There. Now I feel better.

Well, having graduated high school and started my first year of university I can honestly say that high school is (or should be, at least) a ton of fun. I have many fond memories with my friends... just get a good group of people around you and stay loyal. Too much infighting and social strife kinda ruins the experience if you let it get out of hand though. Just FYI, but overall high school was amazing - I hope you're enjoying the experience! And the others are right: responsibilities tend to creep up after high school so enjoy the free ride while you can!

 

[AOS-]

Have fun in high school, so that you can have fun in post secondary... or else you'll remain bored... like me.

I've only recently lifted myself from this boredom by skipping work periods to go make things in the fabrication shops (Wood, Plastics and Metal) on the 1st floor. I recently made an acrylic casing for a joystick controller, and now I'm in the middle of making something like this:

It's huge and it's heavy, made of solid steel too. Boy am I going to have fun carrying this home.

Gotta fill those shoes because there is only one pair.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Hey look, I had a good day! Today was actually nice and laid back. In French (I'm doubling up) me and Mike had our normal "we're Freshman but we still kick ass at this" type attitudes, me and Gio talked (and it was his birthday), and this Hunter girl (I don't know her too well, but she seems intrigued by my "Ca$h Flow name) wanted to take a picture with me and my 'Blink if you want me' shirt. Except...she forgot. Maybe I'll show you guys me and my awesomeness next Tuesday.

 

[GT_Prologue5]

Hey guys, I know I don't really maintain this thread much anymore (I just don't feel like it) but I think I have one more thing left.

Recently, I began talking to this girl named Debbi, my age, homeschooled, and has alopecia, in other words, genetic hair loss. (She wears a pink wig and I think it's sexy. She told me I'm cute and I gave her hints too (talking over Facebook means I have a little less of my nervousness. I can be risky). We both enjoy poetry and same music types, and I was generally kind of happy.

But my life just has to suck, right?

Apparently (and nothing told me of this AND why was she flirting w/ me?) she got a boyfriend. Just great. I'm not trying to attract attention, but what should I do? I mean now it's so damn confusing, and I'm trying to be as damn friendly as I can be, but I just feel like bursting out with my pleas and spilling how I feel all over the place.

I just need some general insight here.

 

[nk4e]

Just be careful on that situation. You know the hints that she is giving off too, though it seems that she doesn't too happy with her currently one.

 

[leowan731]

Hey man. I'm in HS too. I gotta agree that it's a pretty big place to live around. Your writing makes me wanna start my own.

Relationship advice 101: girls have cute friends they will hook you up with if they think you are cute yourself. She might not be open just now but she has friends and you can capitalise from that. Stay friendly and profit.

I'm staying friendly, but damn I want her as profit. To be truthful, I've never seen her and don't know her friends. (cause she's homeschooled and has had the flu since I talked to her) I know her, and instead of what I did with Kirsten or Helen, I'm not going to loathe about, hating them and whatnot, but this time, it's different.

I'm not giving up. This is my time to step up and show what I'm made of, and by the end of this, the romance will be shared with her. She will be mine. And I'm very pissed right now.

And can you explain yourself, nk4e?

 

[itsbenjibrand]

First time looking and posting in this thread. I'll give you a little advice, be friendly to her but not too friendly. Also try not to get tricked into doing things for her that she can do herself. The whole I like you, I'll go out with you and do stuff with you if you do my homework thing... never do it. I wish you good luck sir, and go get her.

Dude, I spent fifteen minutes yesterday talking to myself on how society is the thing keeping me from reaching my goals. (and damn well the smartest thing I've ever heard come out of my mouth) I'm a philosophical genius wondering where the world will take me. I'm not that dumb!

EDIT: On topic, my advice as far as the girl goes is to remember that it's still only High School, and especially that it's still only Freshman year. There's plenty more girls in the coming years, and after High School. Don't get yourself too worked up over this girl, even if you think she's "the one", because she's not. I have a friend who fell deeply in love with this girl last year (Sophomore year), and this year, she changed and found a new friend group, but my friend keeps clinging to hope about a girl who really isn't right for him. He's really been hurt by this girl, and IMO it's because he tried to cling to hope with her for too long.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

I knew you probably were not that dumb. I was more just telling you my experiences. I am very intelligent person in most circumstances. However, when the girl I like (there are many of em) wants me to do something, I turn into a obeying servant. I am that dumb .

 

[GT_Prologue5]

It was pretty complex...let's not get into it before this incites my crazy ideas all over the place. I don't think that's exactly what it was. Sorry, I've been fueled by 100 pages of Karl Marx and my heart wanting to destroy to get what I want, did you really expect anything less?

VANDENAL: I get the obeying servant thing but it's not like I'm a push-over; maybe a soft person who fears what people think of him, but nonetheless it's just me.

I just fundamentally disagree with "society is holding me back" claims for the most part. Well, and I also fundamentally disagree with Karl Marx but that's for another thread.

Keep your chin up, high school is a fun time, I'm enjoying my last two years in it, but I'm also excited for the future. Don't worry about a silly girl so much, like my friend I talked about in the other post, if you cling to a certain girl for too long, you put her on a pedestal and ultimately get hurt when a relationship eventually comes to an end. You also risk alienating your other friends for the sake of this girl, which the same friend did for a while.
