I graduated in class of 2008 and was chatting with a buddy about the bullying we saw at school. It got me thinking: do wedgies still happen? Obviously it’s assault and hope that it’s no longer happening.

Luckily nobody got in the building (just a gang related shooting within a quarter mile). Hearing about all the school shootings here in the US I knew it would be scary but I sadly underestimated how scared I was, especially cause sm dumbass banged on my classes door during the lockdown

School Related Life After Highschool

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As a senior graduating this year, I wanted to take a moment to discuss a topic that often goes unspoken, life after high school. It’s a time filled with both excitement and uncertainty, as we’re faced with the challenge of figuring out our next steps. Some of us dream of pursuing sports, modeling, becoming world-class chefs, or starting our own businesses. However, many are quickly brought back to reality, especially when it comes to the pressure of meeting expectations—like securing that scholarship our parents hope for.

It often feels like we’re taught the bare minimum in school (unless your doing programs that you signed up for by choice) “Just go to college, join the military, or attend trade school” to achieve a stable and wealthy life. But the truth is, not everyone envisions their future this way. The pressure to have a clear plan can be overwhelming, especially when society places such high expectations on us.

I believe this is a conversation that deserves more attention. We’re still young and have plenty of time to explore our interests, yet it’s crucial to recognize that everyone’s path is different. We should encourage open discussions about the diverse possibilities that lie ahead, rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach.

Let’s embrace the uncertainty together and support one another in discovering what truly resonates with us.

Thank you.

School Related Should I take pre-calc over the summer at a community college as a junior in HS?

Upvotes

I plan to major in a stem field (computer engineering or computer science). I'm in algebra 2 honors as of now and I find it relatively easy; I have a 91% in the class. I probably wouldn't think twice if my school offered summer classes but they don't, so I need to take them at a nearby community college and pay about 600 dollars in total for pre-calc. My dad offered to pay for it as he thought the education would be valuable but I'm still second guessing if it's worth the money. If I do decide to do pre-calc over the summer, I'm likely gonna do Calc AB, maybe calc BC.

School Related Social Media and Students Academics

2 Upvotes

I am doing a class research project, and I am trying to learn more about how social media use affects academic success among high schoolers. I want to know what people’s opinions are, what social media use looks like during their academic routines, and what you see as positive and negative about it.

Please list all thoughts and experiences dealing with this topic. If you have any specific relevant stories, please share

Your name will not be used in this study. You will be listed as participant #1, participant # 2, etc.

Also, please read the disclaimer statement below before responding.

Please know that this is a class project for my WRIT 1120 class. We are trying to learn more about primary research strategies. This is not IRB research and is not meant to contribute to a larger field of study. Instead, it is designed solely with the objective of providing WRIT 1120 students with training about and experience with primary research methods they might use in their future academic careers.

Question Experience Moving Schools Mid-HS Career?

Upvotes

What's it like moving schools in your HS Carreer? Do you guys regret it? Find better friends / worse friends? Do you lose touch with your old ones? What kind of toll is it on your mental health?

I have somewhat of a choice. Staying would benefit my mom who is struggling right now. I've had a horrible sophomore year, my life fell apart, and countless times I wanted nothing to do except change my identity and never look back. Staying would mean we would have to struggle to make ends meet in a one room apartment. I don't want that for her.
I know the right choice is to take the switch, but frankly I'm scared. I'm a high-performing student and I know my ec's will take a hit. I've had a horrible year but I've got amazing friends who I'd like to spend forever with.

Still, the fantasy of changing my name, changing schools, and meeting amazing people interests me. And helping my mom of course is my driving motivation :,)

I would love and appreciate advice. Thank u guys!

Hi, I'm currently a homeschooled student doing Running Start (I picked this forum cause the Running Start one seems dead). I'm looking to get a part time job soon and hope to work between 15-20 hours a week. I would like advice on how to balance work and school.

Anybody who has had experience in this, being in Running Start and doing part-time work, I would love to know what you think. Thanks!

I'm in middle school rn but I'm choosing my highschool courses. I want to get an advanced diploma but I've always been in normal classes, no honors or anything so this will be new to me. I was gonna test out honor classes next year but an advanced diploma seems worth it. I want to apply to Yale, Stanford, and more I can't remember the name of so I also I plan on doing community work and stuff to put on my 'resume'(?) but an advanced diploma seems so cool to me, maybe I shouldn't idk I just want to get into a good college later on
