I'm a freshman too. Today was day two. I find it kind of funny what people come up with to embarrass others. The worse I got was a big F on my left cheek drawn with a permanent marker. I got off easy. 90% freshmen had the F's.
Anyway that was all yesterday. Today me and a couple of friends went to the school and there were some girls waiting with whipped cream :confused: and (attempted to) sprayed us with it (yes lame I know).
To be honest most of the bad things that happen were mostly stories I heard. For example some guys would draw an ice-cream on the blackboard with chalk and you would have to lick it off. Or they would get a couple freshmen and duct tape their hands together.
But like I said those are mostly things other people told me.

We'll see, when the older kids' school year starts next week.

I've been in two relationships, neither which lasted very long. I soon discovered I actually don't care about the dating scene.

Since when do 15 year olds have a dating scene? Sure when I was 15 I had a girlfriend but all that consisted of was making out in the locker pods, going to football (handegg) games, and occasionally meeting at the mall where out parents dropped us off. Nothing that I would consider dating.

As for high school, just learn life lessons and do well enough that you can go on to some sort of secondary training. You will hear everyone and their brother tell you that you have to go off to university but that's a bunch of rubbish. You just need some sort of secondary training. I know people who I went to school with who did a tradesmen's course for 18 months and are raking it more money then I am with a 4 year university degree. The important thing is start thinking about it now and direct your learning towards that. Then when you get to your secondary schooling, dive in and make the most out of it.

Oh and don't do anything to stupid in high school because that crap follows you. DUI's, MIP's, drug charges and the like all will stay with you. If you want to dabble in drinking and drugs, then be prepared for the consequences if you do get caught. Right, wrong or indifferent those are the laws. You will be confronted with it, I think everyone in high school is to some degree, so just be prepared with how you want to handle it.

When I was in high school I thought I was the coolest person on the planet, I think it comes with the age, but looking back now I really was a loser for a lack of a better word. I'm sure you'll feel the same way, actually I think everyone thinks that looking back on their younger self.

Ok, now I feel extremely old for doing that :lol:.
 
Wwll let's just say there's more than just a dating scene...and I'm 14.
Another strange day. Apparently I was in Kirsten's dream :confused: where me and her dad held her hair as she vomited. Partly becaus of that fever.

It doesn't take much smartness to realize she wan't in school today.

My good mood "I ****ing won!" mood is still good. Partly because I realized how nice I am. And it's good.

And thanks for the heads up Joey, I don't go anywhere near a bad decision.

And Apokalipse and Nero9, my school's Seniors aren't rough on Freshies at all. Make me kind of glad.

Yeah, when I was a freshman, no one messed with me at all. Being almost six foot probably helped though. :lol:

This too. I can name five or six 15 year-olds that aren't virgins, and those are just of my close friends. So there definitely is a dating scene at 15.

Too bad I'm not even in the ballpark. :indiff:
 
Edit: Oops, I was going to copy and paste the second quote into the first one, but kinda... forgot. Sorry.

There isn't. No such thing in the world of high school. Kids getting knocked up doesn't count either; that's just signs of stupidity showing early.

Dating is spending 4+ years with a girl in a long distance relationship, & finally admitting that it isn't working out b/c neither of us can make the sacrifice to move across the world. That's dating, not holding hands & hanging out together in the mall.
 
My apologies as I haven't read through every single post. But, since you asked, here are my $0.02.

* For the next 4 years society, and likely your parents, will continue to hold your hand. Regardless of what anyone else says this experience is very much part of "real life" (well at least as currently configured). Now after graduation, the soft warm shoulder of society will quickly disappear. This is where for most life begins to become "hard" as they say.

* A book IMHO you should read much sooner, rather than later, is Victor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." It won't ever be included in your English curriculum, almost assuredly, but it contains insights and points of perspective that every adult should be exposed to and hopefully mentally wrestle with.

That's what I'm trying to say! I don't see stupidity. I see Kirsten and I know her situation isn't a 2 week thing. More like they've already spent 2 years together. You wouldn't get it. With her and her boyfriend it isn't just going to the mall or ****, okay? According to what you say, I give them 3 more years. Then he breaks her heart. I just know it. I hate to say it, but...yeah.

Day has gotten weirder, had a complex argument through texts with Kirsten about who's reproductive system is better. I completely lost. Big time. Haha.

I just hate how people ridicule high school because evryone thinks it's just some big old 🤬-fest. It isn't. And it's mostly adults who don't understand from a good perspective.Just stop, I'm not going to argue right now.


You wouldn't understand. I take a lot of evaluations about my surroundings, and I see things that say more than just holding hands at the mall, okay?

You said there's more than a dating scene. There isn't. Having sex isn't more than a dating scene.

The only thing beyond the dating scene is engagement & marriage.

The irony of this is that I and nearly everyone else here have been there. I know exactly what you're trying to convey & no, it's not. Once you graduate high school, you will see what a real dating scene is, what a real relationship goes through. Work, college, the fact you & the significant other are no longer able to see each other periodically throughout the day, that all plays a large role in a relationship.

Sorry, but I do understand b/c I'm that type of person. You're not someone special just b/c you think your maturity & mindset levels are above your average classmate, which in America, isn't hard to get beyond. I was the exact same way in high school. I never considered relationships to be real & and I hate it to this day, when some Freshman tells his girlfriend that he "loves" her.

I know exactly what kind of message you're trying to say. I. Have. Been. There. We all have. There is no use in saying, "You wouldn't understand" when we did those things as teenagers.

I may seem harsh, but jesus dude, you really need to see the light in this.
 
Maybe so, maybe not. I could be worrying less right now. In my mind, you are both right and wrong McLaren, but I guess it's just people opinions and the age they are at. I shouldn't worry.

Also, I think I looked like a complete pervert today in swim class because they were talking about stroking and wrist pressure. Yeah it does seem wrong that I was laughing, but I wasn't the only one. And then they pulled me and Zak away from the group for disruptive behavior. I just felt like walking up and saying "you want to know something? Sure, it might be slightly offensive when laughing at something that is technically a proper swim technique, but balance the amount of time I sulk and worry to the time I'm happy and smiling, and you will definitely realize that it is normal for someone to laugh."

I would not have looked serious yelling at my teacher in swim trunks. :lol:

EDIT: This will never end will it? Now I feel betrayed by my first friend I ever got when I moved to Erie.I've threw out my shoulder throwing my stress ball at my wall. I thought those things were supposed to work! Whatever, why do I even try with this? Look at it, it won't end. Man I need some help right about now.

lol ... :P

That's not how the stress ball supposed to work...

You are to squeeze it within your hands... left or right, that depends on your preference... (action i am sure you are familiar with).

Those swim teacher are no fun ... but then again, swimming could be a life and death situation :dopey:.

... you could have become the dude who stood up to his teacher in swim trunks... especially if you had a tent at the moment...

could have worked into your favor among girls ...


(i am not suggesting you do that tho, it would be at your own risks and responsibilities)

In regards of your view on relationships, at this point of your life, it might "disgust" you on how "fake" it might seem...
and it probably will stay that way for quite a while, however long it will take for you to move on to the next stage/part of your life (1, 2. 5, 10 years who knows)... if you ever will find the person you click with and think you want to spend all/most of your time with, then you will be "cured"...


Just dont hate so much... it is all relative... remember Einstein!?...

EDIT: And Here is what i saw tattooed on a girl's arm yesterday as i spend some time in a saloon (where the girls serves us drinks in their finest underwears)

"C'est La Vie"
 
Haha thanks for the "tent" idea! It would have been a classic.

With my stress ball that I mysteriously found, I normally throw it at a blanket or just pat it off the palms off my hands into the air and see how long I can do it. It's actually a great test of your reflexes.

Amazing. I just learned C'estLa Vie today! My teacher was talking about her kid and how she says it all the time.

It means "That's life."

So today, nevermind, I just got paranoid last night. Nothing really happened. Just a lie.

Also thinking of the nicest thing I've been told.
And I'll say it:

"I hope this doesn"t sound creepy but every night since you called me that night I pray for you."

Now there's tears on my keyboard. Kirsten said it to me. When my dad died, she was the first person I called. And that was the nicest thing I've ever been told. I was nearly on the verge of bawling.

*Sniffles*
 
Yesterday the principle's wife has died of cancer.
We (9c) got our boards today ****yeah!!!! :sick:
Now i have to colour it in... :grumpy:
 
The ironic thing about my crying is that the last time I cried, I was talking to Kirsten about my Dad.
And this time, I was also talking to Kirsten about my Dad.

*sniffles*

I've also had problems with my stomach for 3 days now, I lost my appetite, I can't taste. I know it's not a fever.

It may just be a cold if you can't taste.

So, Friday feel good? It always amazes me how much more Friday means when you aren't on summer vacation. :lol:
 
Friday= 👍
Went to Season Opener HSFB McDowell vs. Cathedral Prep. I didn't care for the game. Instead I liked being with Wesley and Kirsten. The game was postponed due to CP's lighting system going out.

Erm...
 
So you went to a game that didn't happen, and just ended up hanging with two girls? Well done my friend. :sly:












Is Wesley a girl?
 
It's not a journal, it's a forum! And Wesley is a guy. The game went about halfway through and the lights went out. They had to finish at 9:00A.M. this morning. I slept.

My stomach issues went away.

And when it came to the chicks, I kept getting elbowed by Kirsten when the hot chicks walked by. I wasn't paying attention. We never really did sit down, and some guy tried to sell me half-price tickets ($2) and I was scared. Then Kirsten told me "that strangers have free tickets and candy! All you have to do is get in the car"

And Wesley kept talking about how we need to use his garbage bags and his van. :lol: Yeah we're nerds.

You never seen one about a psychopathic teenager spilling everything he can in order to at least not become more crazy. Ha. Well, I can't say everything.

It's like a book. If I could turn this into a book, I don't think it'd be half bad. :lol:
 
Great. My chronic insanity has returned, and the more I listen to "5OUL ON D!SPLAY" the more I go crazier.

Here's why:

"Eyes go shut, I dissapate My thoughts.

Into thin air, leaving no trace, I'm not here anymore

Distant voice, not listening. The voice in my head

Why don't you just save your breath Make it stop

All of your words feel like a jail. Everything you say is killing me.

That blocks the sun and makes me stale. It's surrounding me

Not enough gold in all the world.

So why have I surrendered? Because it's killing me.

To your abusive ways You have no idea what you're doing to me

The cracks, have opened up to the core. It's killing me

Is there anywhere to go from here now? If only I could tell them.

Sick with the lies, consuming our souls. Your words kill me.

*Chorus*

Here with your and my soul on display I need you.

Bite my tongue, swalllow the pain. I can't keep it in me anymore.

A bit disturbed by these displays. What you do kills me inside.

Now we've got nothing to say. Well, I have one thing left.

The silence growing deadly. If I don't say it....

So here we are, drifting apart I need to drift closer

Neither willing to drop there guard. I can't.

Heven't we got something to say? Yes, I do.

The distance growing deadly. Stop telling me these things.

From years and years of pain. This is going to hurt me too much.

The cracks go deeper than we can see. Only you can see them.

Let's take a good look at where we are now. But I don't want to.

Maybe the ends the start that we need. I need you to end it!

*Chorus*

Here with your and my soul on display. I NEED YOU.

Life is too precious to waste. Your the only preciousness left.

*chorus*

Struck here with your and my soul on display. But I can't have you.

If only you saw this.
 
Well, I don't know about you, but my high school days are off to a great start. Friends I haven't met in a long time, dropping Horatio Caine one-liners in Forensics class, being without a doubt the smartest in my biology class, and keeping track of all my other friends by going to fairs and shooting ranges. Not to mention the homework is at the very least easy, and usually fun.
 
Good for you, StigNumbers! I just can't take this thought in my head anymorew, I need to yell it. But I can't. I can't say it. It's eating away at me.

Sure, my school time has been great, easy, good homework, been with friends. But after the last 2 things that consumed me, I have one more. And it's the worst of them all.

Try to find the message inside of my analysis above.
 
Man. Everytime I think of the praying message I cry. Plus, why am I updating on a Saturday? There's no school! And we have labor day on Monday, whoo-hoo 3 day weekend.
 
Damn, 4th Monday in October for me :p
And wow - 5OUL ON D!SPLAY has a very deep meaning. The only other song I actually listen to mainly for the lyrics is 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side'.
:lol:
