High school

I actually enjoyed high school. As they say it is the "best four years of your life"

high school

I loved high school, and still are friends with two people that I met in grade nine.
I had so much fun in high school. Some of my best memories are from when I was in high school!!

Please, enjoy your high school years... it really are the years that you should enjoy making friends, don't worry about any serious relationships for a few years, but of course you should date.
I remember high school, and at times it can be difficult with school work, tests and exams... and some classmates do think that they are better than anybody else. But I promise you those people will eventually grow up and think back on what a jerk that they were.
You are at an age when you should enjoy sleep overs, going to dances and just studying ( yes, I remember that dread-full work, lol ).

I loved high school, I have such found memories of doing some crazy stupid things though and regret putting my parents though hell for part of it. However I made some best friends whom I am still in contact with and would do it all over again if I could.

Loved it

I went to an all girls high school. I absolutely loved it. I'm still friends with alot of the girls from those years.

Well..

I started off in a normal high school and dropped out for a year. Then I ended up getting my diploma with an alternative high school that the school board offered. It was such a great place! When I had my son at 17 they even let him come to class with me.

best thing

I was so happy to go to the school I wanted to go to, it was kind of special to start with for me but I'm kinda weird like that, made some close friends, laughed a lot, geeked out a lot with friends. The only thing I really hated about the high school was writing essays, so I often used topeduservices. Generally, high school is the best thing that's happened to me so far.

High school is great for many people and horrible for many others. Often it comes down to your friendship circles. If you have great friends, even a crappy HS will be a good experience. If you have no friends, the best HS in the world will feel like the loneliest place.

My advice to you is to look at what you can change to make your situation better. Are your friends (or lack of) dragging you down? See if you can build new relationships. Get involved in extracurriculars because that can be an excellent place to connect with new people. Whether that's a charity club or eco group, or maybe a sport that is not as intense as the marquee sports (i.e. cross country running, water polo, badminton instead of volleyball/basketball/football), you might be surprised how much you like it.

I had a pretty horrible time in Junior High (i.e. middle school), but I switched to a HS outside of my catchment, joined the Track & Field team and choir, and it made a huge difference for me. Hope things start looking up for you!
