now tell me the truth..how were you at high school..was it such a good idea?

Highschool was great. I just didn't realy know it at the time... The freedom, the never ending new experiences... Of course I cried over home work and exams, but aren't we all - even when we are older (and in the university I study with teachers) we do the same thing. In the end, what is left, is the best parts - the breaks, the company we had, the time we spent with friends lazing in the afternoon or playing in the street or yard. When we look back we usualy see the good things, because the bad things weren't all that bad when our point of view is broader. That's what I think...

Ugh, I don't think I really liked High School. I definitely wouldn't do it all over again. It wasn't that bad, it's just that it wasn't a happy time. I don't know how I could have chosen a different path as you don't get to choose whether or not you go to high school, it's the law. And, most people don't get to choose which one they get to go to.

I did enjoyed my high school days, though I missed some parts of it that I thought were never that meaningful. How I wish I could do it again, to experience those things that I missed! I missed some of my friends, those of whom I've been with since I started my college days. I also missed some of those girls who used to adore us, everytime me and my friends would play our guitars and sing some songs that were famous during that time!;) If ever given a chance, I would indeed, get back again to high school. The fun, the excitement and the thrill we experienced is very different than any life a student has been through..

The truth is that I didn't enjoy very much my high school days. I wanted to go into commercial stream but ended up in a technical school because there were no more vacancies. As a result, I struggled very hard to study for subjects for I didn't like. So, after I left high school, I switched to commercial studies and I did very well. Thank God for that ! :-)

There were some part that I enjoyed about high school. I enjoyed choir. There was nothing like going to choir on a daily basis to sing my little heart out. I adored performing in school plays and attending drama club. My friends were/are great and they made it a pleasant experience. However, my school, as a whole, was awful. Getting an education was great but most of the students that attended were very cruel. We have a very strong division of "cliques" as it were and me and my group of friends were toward the bottom of the food chain. I wouldn't go back and change a thing though. I wouldn't be the kind of person I am today if I did!

Highschool. I remember the good times with my friends, I remember pushing the boundaries and causing stress to the teachers I love those memories. I also remember being mean to so many people.... I was the "leader" of a large group of punks and freaks. We started out being the outcasts and were made fun of and picked on because we dyed our hair and pierced our noses. Because we had the mohawks and the weird makeup. That all changed because there soon came to be a lot of us. I have neer been one to sit back and let things slide. In grade 9 (first grade of highschool) I got into many fights. Some of them I was defending the kids around me that got picked on by the "jocks" (sports guys), and the popular pretty gurls. I wouldn't take the crap that was put onto us "weird" kids. These kids started flocking to me. We bigan hanging out because there is strength in numbers especially when I was telling these kids to not let the others push them around, fight back. What can I say, I was a militant unthinking immature 14 year old kid. By the time I left my highschool the weird kids were the popular ones. But they were now being mean to the jocks and the pretty kids. If I could go back to school again, I would make sure the weird kids like me weren't made fun of but I wouldn't be so militant about it.

I really enjoyed high school and those were one of the best years of my life..it was a different phase altogether and I sure do have very good pleasant memories of school. I wouldn't want to change a thing and would relive the whole thing all over again:) I made great friends whom I'm in touch with still now..in all honesty I thoroughly enjoyed school life!:)

i enjoyed my school time very much. i still do, because im online learning and i hope to be able to go back to school (university) lol to finish some grades i started earlier. my granny told me once, you are never to old to learn something. and she prooved it with going to university whe she was 80 years old, and finished her licentiate after 8 years. i was proud of her and could help her in typing her doctors work. all women in our family are alike. i didnt found one who did stop learning. so i think im very lucky for that

To be honest, the only thing I didn't like about high school was having to get up in the morning. I am NOT a morning person....But other than that, high school was great. I think a lot of the time it depends on who you hang around with and what you are involved in. If you go to school just because you have to and only do the minimal to get through, of course your not going to enjoy it, you are just biding your time until you can get out. I was very fortunate though, the high school had 90 students and there were no cliques and everyone got along. I know it sound weird, it doesn't happen that way usually. But it was the type of environment that if you got to school and none of your friends were there that day, you could just walk in and hang around with anyone. I loved high school and would go back in a minute if it were the same situation.

yes, I enjoyed High school and miss it dearly. Since it has been so long I don't know if I want to go back but seeing my friends would be great.

I didn't have any choice in the schools I went to. If I had a choice as to what I did with my life after high school, I would change everything but four things.

ok, you said the truth I'll spill it then ;) Yeah nostalgic, also a painful time, growing up is difficult I enjoyed like half of it. I went to a public high school for 1 1/2 years, then threatened to pump gas instead, went to a private one for 1 1 /2 years, then rose out and went college for my senior year I had no choice, I was a kid. Maybe to be in college at 14 would have been better.

i think..i've made some wrong decisions.and made a wrong move..but hey!!tomorrow's another big day....and we shouldbe ready for it/..

I enjoyed my high school years a lot. But given another chance, I wish I should'ce stayed in my first school. On my first year, I studied at Commonwealth High School and I was at the highest section of my year level. I make good grades even though I don't study really hard and made so many absences that one of my teachers threatened to drop me out of the class if I make more absences. On my second year of high school, I moved to Caloocan High School where there are lots of gangsters and stuffs. On my first year there I did good. I got the First honors in my class. But that was the start of my getting into gangsters. My third year was the worst I've gotten into fistfights and stuff and I was even sent to the prefect of discipline. On my senior year, I mellowed down and it is the best year in high school. I didn't get much recognition, just the highest grade in our English subject but I valued and enjoyed the friendship that I made with my classmates. I think if I didn't leave Commonwealth High School, I wouldn't even know about gangsters and I might have a concrete plan for college like what happened to my friends then.

I would love to do high school over again. I was such a loner. I really only had one friend and she loved to party..so I missed a lot of classes. We would go out and drink and ditch school. I am sorry now...I wish I had of payed more attention to school...I didn't complete it because of that and a bad home life. I would tell youth now..to finish school..it's important.

What my 44 years have taught me is that most of high school was a waste of time. Now, admittedly I wasted most my time at high school. I skipped classes constantly, rarely did much homework, got bad grades (go figure) and basically skated along. I graduated with a 1.7gpa. After 8 years in the Army I went to college. I was among the top students in what was described as "the most intense program at the school" (Paramedic/Search & Rescue). At least among the students I knew, you couldn't tell the students who got straight As from anyone else. None of it made much of a difference. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't take honors and college prep classes, I'm sure those classes do well to prepare people for elite schools and university programs. I would be disappointed if the schools my kids go to cancelled those classes. For the average student though, I think taking tech ed classes are far more important than yet another general ed class. If you ask me, I think that once a student is 15 all classes should be either college prep or tech ed. It disgusts me that a high school diploma qualifies a 18 year old for the same jobs as a 16 year old. I have to say though, I had FUN in High School ;~D

I did like to learn but I also wanted to be popular and have all the attention. So it was kind of hard betweeen the two. I think my popularity far outweighed my learning. My grades were never great but they were OK. If I could go back i would learn more and be with friends less.

Borrow this space,hope can share my ture feeling when I study at my high colleg. It's really not good as my though when I havn't goe into. Such as most of people said,it's a small society to let student familiar with the world before they went out. Anyway,you must build up your truth once you go there,study and study what. Don't waste the school time,it's so easily to rush out...

i loved high school..i wouldnt change a thing..great friends lots of fun..and a good education to boot

hi! the school in which i went was one of the best schools of my country.i think that whether you enjoy or not in the school doesnt depend on your school,it depends on you.if you are spunky then i think you will enjoy in any school you will go in.but nothing much can be done about it,being vivacious is not in any individuals hand its in the nature of the person and nature of the person is god gifted.as far as it goes for me i think i dint have the great time in my school,but i would not blame my school for that.they had everything in the school to which a student could enjoy the most,but i never raised to it and grapped the opportunity.if i am asked to go back to my school life,then i would love to go back and since now i have realised my mistake,i would try to make the best of what my school provides me. if any person studying in school now,if gets to read this then i would advice to make the full out of what you are getting in your school. school life is a great life. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
