what was your high school expirience like?

Mine is still in the process and i really like high school. Mine high school year pretty much consist of Band, showchoir, and Debate! What was yours like and what activities did what do?

I'm glad I was out of it - pretty much says it all

High School?! That's gotta be quite old for me, since it was so many years I left the High School. In my time, well basically we did have some groups or fractions; like they split up the students based on the status, result, sport and etc; such as the nerds, bullies, jocks (mostly those sport athletes), preppies (those rich kids), environmentalists (those who like nature and animals), and many more. So for me, I mostly fight against other clubs; such as Interact Club and PRS Club (Counselling Club), well it is more like competition to see which club organized the best event, and we always try to fight one another and avoid them to take our members away and steal our ideas. Yea, so club wars were always occurred during my time.

Club wars? That's interesting, did anyone ever join more than one club?

Drama. Being popular sucks.

High school was pretty harmonious, it was a selective school, i.e. you take a test in elementary school to determine if you go there or not, so everyone was kinda in the same 5-10% ability wise. I really like that system because everyone was kinda in the same boat and it was not seen as "uncool" to work hard and get good marks. If you didn't get good marks at the end of the year exams, or if you misbehaved they wouldn't hesitate to kick you out, that was good because it kept the atmosphere and culture as one that was condusive to learning, if you didn't like it you could leave and go to a somewhere else.

One thing that I was not that happy with was the school uniform. Not that I think uniforms are all bad, like some other schools had nice uniforms that were more well made, like cloth blazers and nice skirts for girls, ours was horrible, it was very unfeminine and unflattering, especially if you were short and have a feminine shape, which was not good for my confidence. Our uniform was black trousers, shirt and tie (happend to be a mens tie but we still had to wear it) and a black round-neck sweatshirt, but they were made out of horrible cheap nylony stuff and were uncomfortable :/ Who ever decided girls should wear ties is crazy and also some girls with big boobs had to buy massive sweaters and look like they were wearing a tent lol.

As for the culture, the whole american high school on tv like with clubs, cheerleaders and "jocks" (whatever they are) really does not happen over here. If anyone has seen "The inbetweeners" that is pretty accurate really.

lol livie ... answers are too long but kool

mine was normal we always leave the school to go the beach but yah i graduated anyway lol ... i dont really miss the school but i miss my mates ...

Mine was pretty boring...in 1st yr there was some drama between my friends and i changed to other friendgroup..2nd was very busy and 3rd was too guick..last year we had to prepare for our final exams and yeh...I still wonder how i survived through them

A far-right conservative religious private high school.
Although some good things came out of it, it was indeed a living hell. Never worth going back there.

High school was the most boring 4 years of my life. And the most workload academically. It was a waste of time
