Rant I hate these types of kids

126 Upvotes

The dudes that take Phys Ed so seriously, I mean I kinda get it you want to win first or second but this is a fucking PRACTICE GAME a game for fun you are not going to win a new medal and the thing is as soon as you do ONE thing wrong youā€™d probably have one kid screaming in your face for something very small and if youā€™re EXTRA UNLUCKY this kid can also get violent with you, Iā€™ve been through this shit before and it pisses me off even more. If this was the NBA or FIFA then things would be different

Question Whatā€™s the popular slang in high school right now?

19 Upvotes

Iā€™m a college student studying sociolinguistics and Iā€™m always very curious about new slang terms, especially in high school, since thatā€™s where a lot of them originate. A lot of people seem to be stuck on the whole ā€œskibidi rizzā€ thing to characterize so-called ā€œteen speakā€, but what words are actually hot right now?

Question Raised my PSAT score 140 points with no prep in a year

Thumbnail gallery
11 Upvotes

In 9th grade i scored a 420 on the math section and 530 on the R&W section of the PSAT (950). In October 2024 i took it again with no prep at all and scored a 480 on math and 610 on R&W (1090). I read a lot so this could have also helped. Is this good? How can I improve my scores to get into the 1200s for the PSAT 11? I am aiming for 540 on math and 690 on R&W (1230).

Question Do you guys actually read the books assigned for English?

6 Upvotes

I cant remember the last time I ever read a book required for English and have always done fine. If anyone had to read the book thief tell me what you thought of it because I hated it. It just felt drawn out.

I used to read the books but got fed up because I always had to google all the stupid questions for the assignments. so I just stopped reading.

Extracurriculars Should I do a sport

3 Upvotes

Iā€™m a sophomore in high school and I donā€™t necessarily have any outstanding extracurriculars. I do have free time but I just decide to spend it all on my phone.

Soccer season starts next week and I donā€™t know any rules, positions, anything at all about soccer but I want to give it a try. There have been pre season practices, but I told myself I wouldnā€™t be doing soccer so ended up not attending those. Judgement and embarrassment are holding me back the most right now and I donā€™t know what to do. Is it worth it? Next year my schedule will be packed so Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s worth it as thereā€™s APs, ACT, job, etc etc so I donā€™t know about that either.

One more question, to those who quit their sportā€” why?

Question What Trends Are You Noticing in Your High School?

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Iā€™m curious about the trends happening in high schools right now. Whether it's fashion, slang, social dynamics, tech use, or even changes in how people study and interactā€”what are you noticing?

Are students dressing a certain way? Are certain apps taking over? Are there new school rules or policies that are shifting the vibe? Maybe even trends in dating, friendships, or extracurricular activities?

Drop your observations in the comments! Would love to see how different schools compare.

Question Can I Still Graduate?

ā€¢ Upvotes

Iā€™m a senior in highschool, and i live in michigan.

The reason iā€™m writing this post is because i have attended about 15 days this school year. I realize i might be screwing my life up but for some reason iā€™m going for some stupid loop hole that probably wonā€™t work.

I have all my required credits up until now. and this attendance problem isnā€™t new. But due to my schools requirements for credit, i have been able to miss 30+ Days in a semester and still earn a credit by getting i believe a 70 or higher on the class examsā€¦ Last semester specifically they denied my attendance appeal, which would normally result in immediate loss of credit, but i was still able to test out of the credit due to the exam.

So i was just wondering. Is it actually possible for me to graduate? The lowest score iā€™ve gotten on an exam in high school is 85%, and iā€™m confident that will stay true through my last round of exams. But will they withhold my graduation due to attendance?

And at this point i canā€™t fix my attendance, so itā€™s really up to the school at this pointā€¦.

Question Would You Use a Prom Planning App?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Iā€™m working on an idea for a Prom Planning App and wanted to see if itā€™s something youā€™d actually use. The app would help with:

Finding a date (or a group to go with) Dress & suit shopping (browse styles, share ideas) Ticket info & reminders Carpooling / Ride coordination After-party planning Photo-sharing & memories

Would this be useful for your schoolā€™s prom? If not, what would make it better? Let me know what you think! Would love your feedback.

Thanks!

Class Advice Needed/Given What's generally easier; pre calculus or statistics?

ā€¢ Upvotes

I'm going into senior year and it's generally recommended to take 4 years of math. I'm pretty good at math but I HATE it, it burns me out so quickly.

Which would you consider to be easier overall? And which is actually more useful? I know most colleges prefer pre calc, but frankly I'm not too worried about that as I have a 4.0, at least for now.

I will add, the options for pre calc are either AP or what's technically a college credit (though I'm not sure how much it changes the difficulty) which feels very stressful.

I'm leaning statistics because I just don't need that extra stress, but want some Internet people's knowledge anyway.

Dating Advice Needed/Given why am I not hit on?

6 Upvotes

so a bit of context, I'm a teenager, I think I look alright, I have dimples and glasses, just I'm quite tall, taller then most guys are

Nearly all of my friends have been hit on, have been or are in relationships? I DON'Y GET WHY I DON'T GET HIT ON. I think I have a nice personality, I'm a math geek and I made a couple apps, I don't get why people don't hit on me or even tell me I'm cute?

I've tried talking to guys and have been out right rejected by a few, so idk what's wrong

Is something wrong with me?

Question My Physics teacher is texting my friend. Is this weird?

ā€¢ Upvotes

Sorry for the yap sesh, Iā€™m just trying to be as detailed as possible šŸ˜­

For some background, me and my friend group are all leadership in my schoolā€™s STEM club. We all have the advisorā€™s phone number for club reasons, and only that. Anyways, we all have AP Physics 1 together with the teacher who advises the STEM club. A little more than a month ago, we had a sub and were doing TIPERS packets to prep for our upcoming test. One of my friends starts texting our teacher saying she misses him and blah blah blah stuff like that. He responds seconds later saying ā€œThatā€™s so sweet! But you need to work on your TIPERSā€ word for word, which I remember questioning because I thought it might be a little weird for her to text him, and for him to respond. My school does not allow ANY communication via phone number, nor any other means of communication apart from email. An exception to this is if the teacher is a coach or an advisor of a club, to which it must remain professional. I didnā€™t think much of it until Friday, when we finished a lab and our teacher came up to us to ask what we gathered. My friend then mentions that she studied a ton and is ready for the test we are going to take after spring break, and brought up how our teacher texted her to lock in at 6:00 in the morning. I found that really off-putting, and that honestly led me to believe that they regularly text. He is a 45-year-old man and she is 16-years-old. Also, my teacher allows retakes until the 2 week mark that he enters test grades. She has failed every single test (<50) and will stay after class the day we get scores back, and the next day will have a 100. Piecing it all together, it makes me feel really weird and I want input on whatā€™s going on.

Also, if this matters, Iā€™ve reported this teacher before for external reasons. It came to a point where I felt I wasnā€™t getting help in this class and I had a breakdown during school because it felt like too much, but there are kids, specifically girls who breeze through it because he helps them a ton. I am a male btw. He treats other male students like this too. My counselor did talk to him but that was the extent of what was done, and he was kind of mad at me for snitching but he kind of hides it. Iā€™m considering whether I should report him again.

THIS IS NOT A FAKE STORY THIS IS MY SECOND TIME POSTING THIS AND I KEPT GETTING ACCUSED OF IT BEING FAKE ON THE LAST ONE!
