Seems merely discussing high school is enough to bring about silly drama!
As for me, I'm getting near the end of high school, and for that I'm glad. I'm making an effort to have better learning skills, but it is tough to stick with it.
School's never been a problem for me, I get high 80's, and low to mid 90's with minimal effort, particularly in classes where written communication and arguing a thesis or opinion is important (English, Anthropology, History, etc.). There's also Religion class, where I have a 98 as an atheist who argues with everything the teacher says (Ontario has publicly funded "free" Catholic schools).
The one exception is math. I simply don't work hard enough at math to do well, and that's completely my fault. I have low 50's in both of my grade 12 math classes, Calculus & Vectors, and Advanced Functions. I'm coming back next year to repeat Functions in 1st semester and take Philosophy as an average booster, and probably taking Calculus in the summer or in night school during when 2nd semester would be (work full time otherwise).
As for high school drama, I really don't get involved with any of it. I have my girlfriend, a close circle of friends, and a wide range of acquaintances, but I tend not to invest heavily in the lives of people I don't care for (read: I only talk to most of the acquaintances if I'm at a party or in class)
