High School

[savage388]

Ha at my school everyone pretty much drinks quite a few smoke pot and some do "other" things. By now it's not "cool" people just mind there own business about stuff and that's that. The talking about it and bragging is stupid and no one does that mostly because people have matured by the time they are seniors. Don't judge people by what habits they have, some of the coolest moat loyal people I know have some less than ideal habits, just saying.

 

[Patrick]

Do many kids at your schools do drugs, such as marijuana, or drink or smoke cigarettes? It seems like 80% of my school does. Every single day, I hear people talk about it. It's so frustrating. I feel like one of the few kids who cares about my health and the laws.

Maybe this would be against the AUP? But seeing as I am not talking about doing it myself it's different? Mods, please let me know if it's not okay.

Welcome to high school. My school's nickname is the "pharmacy."

Haha. My rival school is called Lakeland but it's nicknamed Bakeland.

I know. There are really fun people that are nice to me who do it. I'm just amazed at the number of people who do it.

My schools name is Oakfield but it's called "Smokefield" and "Jokefield". Whatever lol. That school is one of the biggest drug schools probably in the state. Virtually EVERYONE has done something religously.

 

[gogatrs]

In my grade, according to some survey nobody has done any of that stuff. At most there's maybe one or two kids but I doubt it.
My school is pretty good in that sense. Yeah there's a good number that do pot, but not too many.
And the few that do aren't really respected by anyone. NOBODY thinks they're cool for doing it.

You know it's bad when they come in with the dog and bust more than half the students vehicles and lockers. There is no shortage. You want something? You got it in 30 seconds.

How about I ask a question. Just how stereotypical is everyone's high school? Mine for example is very much cliquey. The jocks, smokers, nerds, rednecks, etc. Even our school parking lot is divided up in that way... I'd have more to say about my school but for right now, I can't think of anything. X_X So if you're curious and want to ask questions about it, go ahead.

Oh, by the way. On urban dictionary the definition of my town is: "The second largest city (as far as square miles) in Maine. It has a population of approximatly 20,000. As most towns do in southern Maine it has a couple nick names. For example S-Town and the more popular "The Borough". Scarborough is made up of many different neighborhoods. Some of them are Pleasant Hill, Prouts Neck, Oak Hill (downtown east scarborough) Dunstan Corner (downtown west scarborough) among many others. It's wicked easy to get drugs in Scarborough (especially weed or crack). If you can't get it from the first person you walk up to, they know someone you can get it from. "

Very true.

 

[Cowboys965]

Idiot people get drunk. In school.
There's also those not-so-surprising stoners that wear green, yellow, and red everything.

Killing yourself with drugs is so "cool" man!

My school is somewhat stereotypical. There are d-bag jocks, "cool" kids, supernerds, and band kids (that's me). I hate most jocks. There is a lot of teasing, but no physical bullying, at least I haven't seen it. My school honors football players while giving marching band a quick second on the announcements.

There are cliques for sure. Girls are dramatic, and even friends fight all the time. God I hate this. Hang on, I'll be right back with a link:

 

[MedigoFlame]

I have to say, the rednecks are probably the worst out of the school cliques. Always driving around with their straight exhaust trucks or ones their "daddy" bought them with stacks. Every morning thinking it's fun and games honking their horns, driving around the parking lot at obviously illegal speeds, and parking places they shouldn't.

There isn't that much teasing at my school. Most people mind their own business, either that or rudely push through the hallways. Speaking of hallways, high school ones have to be the worst... Much more awful than some place like the mall. Kids stopping to talk to their friends when it's a bit of a two way lane trying to get through a crowded hall. Always ending up creating a traffic jam. Young couples deciding certain spots are great to "make out," for example in the middle of the stairs, while everyone is trying to get to class. Hallways and parking lots, those are probably the worst areas around my school. Had several friends pretty much lose their first cars due to others backing into them or going 40mph in a FULL parking lot. Accidents everywhere... Hooray for stereotypical teenage drivers. Especially when others expect I'll be just like them behind the wheel...

A little bit. I mean, it's a Canadian Catholic high school in a small rural area (in a town of about 14,000, county of 60,000), so it's not very stereotypical. The town I live in (10 minutes from my school) has a big stoner community, it's called Port Dover, but people call it Pot Doper. That's pretty much it. There's a good number of people who smoke weed, a few who smoke cigarettes, and a lot who drink and smoke cigars at parties.

It's rather normal but the hardest drugs here are some mushrooms and like 2 kids that sell cocaine. Most of it's just weed and alcohol, which is pretty standard. As for school drama, there's not many fights, it's all pretty tame. The biggest drama was a few weeks ago about the girls sending nude pictures that were getting sent all over the school/county. That produced some funny tweets from kids at nearby schools for a week but nothing after that.

The only thing is we have a lot of rednecks here. Lots of kids driving daddy's truck around like they own the roads. A fair bit of homophobia too for the same reason. Lots of hypocritical religious kids (condemning gays while having premarital sex, smoking weed and getting drunk on weekends).

One of my friends was growing weed in his greenhouse for a while, but had to get rid of it because it was suffocating his mum's tomatoes!

Very true.

The clique system is messed up at my school, because honestly it's first separated into black people and white people, then there are big shops that last most of the day so you have the shop kids that are pretty much white, then there are the nerds, then the preppy white kids that mingle with the preppy black kids. However most people get along except for the nerds/geeks no one really gets along with them.

 

[BMWM52012]

My rival school cropped up in a rich part of town and now the difference is like lambos to welfare moms. The games get intense. We pick at their drug problem and REALLY high std rate and they pick at the poverty in our part of town. I'm middle class but those rich kids are snobs. I think its just talk but I heard that 30% of the kids at the other school have an STD.

 

[Skython]

My school is very stereotypical here. Then again, it's full of teenagers, and that's what they do... I've been sent (by myself) to do research into teenager mentality.

Group investigated... (mixed group)

Test... Anger limitations.
​

Very short fuse, enraged by high frequencies after being absorbed in nothing but depressed teenage drones and death metal growls. The words reasoning and logic do not exist, and the word please has been replaced by multiple curse words and shouting.

Personality investigation (male) - They are generally laid back but there are some anti bronies and people who the laid back people follow and this generally results in my dangley bits being threatened with a fist.

Personality investigation (female) - Variable. One subject is a slapper, and goes out with many different boys despite looking as if they have been punched in the teeth. It is accompanied by a nerd, and another nerd. And an angry nerd who everyone hate, she even gets on her boyfriend's nerves (her boyfriend is awesome, and a Brony. But she is a dominant cow). Then there are some quiet girls who sit there and mind their own business rather than shouting at me and threatening me for making annoying noises and arguing with the midget over my riveting skills or something else just as pointless.

Stereotype: Angry, sad, and humourless 'I think I'm mature but really I still find genitalia jokes funny' group.

Next time on Skython investigates...

The sport buffs.

And to add, I already know the sport stereotype in our school, so I'm going to get working.

 

[Slash]

Starting this past year so do we.

 

[savage388]

Haha I use that to scare kids from all the other schools in my area that think their school is all "hardcore" because someone got kicked out, works like a charm and shuts them up every time.

[Skython]

Good, because those were my intentions. Now I have a (small) audience which isn't full of pitchforks and kids slurring every word or simply skipping the word entirely and confusing all else.

That's a good one Skython. Keep it up.

I got kicked out of my school...I was suuuuuuch a badass wasn't I lol I kid

My school has a habit of kicking students, theres a good bus full of us despite having 900 or so total students in the entire district. Oh yeah everyone knows everyone and there mother. Odds are you parents either know or grew up with your best friends parents...believe me when I say I've been in really awkward positions...

My high school has over 900 kids I honestly can't count how many kids have gotten kicked out after 4 years of high school.
I like not knowing everyone I can get away with plenty without being in a tough spot.

1. Wouldn't socialize with certain people at all.

My God! It sounds like they've come down with a horrible case of ... being sixteen!

2. Always ask for help and "Wait, what are we doing again?"
3. Constantly find distractions to keep themselves away from work.

There's a fair bet your teacher is already aware of this. And if your teacher is any good at their job, it shouldn't be a lasting problem. It's pretty easy to stamp out that kind of behavior.

4. Get horrid grades and don't care.

Based on my experience, this is probably because they don't value the classroom as a learning environment. They value it as a social environment, an extension of recess or lunch. That's considerably harder to change than simple disruptive behavior, but it can be done.

So why should I help them? I feel sorry for them? I care bundles for them? No, I want them out of my hair so I can concentrate on the task at hand.

That doesn't give them the right to intentionally give them the wrong answer.

Directing them to the teacher, do you mean inform them of the situation or ask the teacher for help?

I mean you should tell them to ask the teacher if they're having trouble.

I'm so sick of school. My English teacher gives us these stupid three point tests on To Kill a Mockingbird and the questions are super ******* specific so on getting a B in that class. Two other teachers haven't put in any grades in 5 weeks so I don't know what the hell I have in those classes. Otherwise I have 3 A's which I'm shocked but pleased about, because I've been losing focus.

I'm still in the district they just send me to an alternative school in the moring. Same stuff less people. Kinda makes me mad because I just go to school to chill with my friends.

We have an alternative school for high school and junior high kids in the junior high. For a lot of people it's more of a reward because it's only from 8am-noon.

Can't be bothered with school tomorrow... For those in the same frame of mind, just remember this:

Are you in your freshman year? I read that last year in grade 9. If you're not actually reading it, I suggest you do, it's a good book.

And Sparknotes as a study guide for the super-specific questions, but I wouldn't reccomend solely relying on these though.

I'm on Spring Break Fiiiiiiinalllly!
