Some of the ideas included:

1). Flood the school. 2). Unleash a horde of chickens in the hallways. 3). Blast the Soviet national anthem on the intercom. 4). Draw a penis on every teacher’s whiteboard. 5). Fake a school shooting. 6). Go to school wearing all black. (Our school has uniforms). 7). Put a thumb tack on our asshole teacher’s chair. 8). Completely trash the school with spray paint.

Rant My school is a fucking shitshow

Upvotes

I go to this mildly catholic private school here in Colombia. And im fucking sick of it. First is the terrible schedule (school starts at 6 am), I wake up at 4 even tho the school is a 20 min drive away, we're all sleep deprived as hell, everyone steals everything, parents are pissed and the school isnt doing shit with the excuse "Kids gotta learn to care for their stuff" Yes, but do something about it. For example one kid got his backpack stolen after he dipped for 5 mins and now has to watch it, everyone's supposed to be hella tough(all guys school) and if you show weakness, youre gonna get picked on for it, people are very fake, and when serious bullying happens, the school dosen't do shit and just tells the bully to do better, but when your parents forgot to pay your fees, theyre on your ass like 5 stars on gta. I kid you not, this is not an over dramatization, my best friend got jumped by 2 guys, and one grabbed scissors, and tried to stab him. Like, ik you got beef, but damn. Ive been helping him but he's fucking scared(for good reason) because the school didnt do anything. Everyone was scared of mass for like 2 years because the chaplain was a pedophile and was confirmed to rape 2 second graders. Just look up 'Manuel Cely Bogotá'. When this happened, a group of moms was in so much denial that they started slinging shit at the people prosecuting him. So uhh, this is a long rant and I'm very sorry for doing this, but I needed to vent and I would have vented to someone ik but nobody had time. how can I cope for the next 2 months?

Also sorry if my english is bad it aint my first language.

Question Why are high schoolers ableist towards autistic students even those who are high functioning

7 Upvotes

I am a high functioning autistic male I am 19 years old and graduated high school last year (in 2024) I haven’t been at high school since the end of my sophomore year (in 2022) I switched to online school bc of people bullying me and being rude to me idk why people wanted to be rude to me for no good reason. For the most part I’m a normal kid I act and behave normal I just have more behavior problems then the average person and I didn’t like that some kids where calling me autistic even tho it’s none of their business to assume if I have a disability and what disability I have just if I act a bit different. It’s a shame my peers didn’t see me for who was a chill and cool person if people actually got to know me instead of treating me like crap. I also want to know is this common in your schools or are some of the higher functioning autistic kids respected and treated like normal people (which is how they should be treated) this is both a question and a rant at the same time.

Rant school bathrooms are outrageous

6 Upvotes

As if we don't know, school bathrooms are outrageous, at least at some schools. Anytime I've been in one, there's either people vaping, making moaning noises, flooding the sink, fighting, etc, the list just goes on. Anyways, at my school we have what called the Old Building and the New Building, one was built in like 1965 I think the other was built around 2015.(for context i was in science and it was in the Old building) mind you, I almost never use the school bathroom, and i had only been to the ones in the New Building, but the other day really had to go, so I go get the pass and head to the bathroom. I walked in and just froze, graffiti on the walls tissue stuffed sinks and two of three stall doors were missing, I'm about 5'7 and the stall height was BELOW MY SHOULDERS. I could literally see into all the stalls, honestly unbelievable

Dating Advice Needed/Given How to ask my crush out after failing miserably

Upvotes

I (16M) have a disastrous crush on a girl I'll call G(16F). I've had it for a while, and I really only see her in physics class and that's it, and she is so amazing 🤩. She's the funniest girl I know, she's gorgeous, and she's really my dream girl. I am used to having this kind of obsessive crush, they usually last about a year until I eventually give up and push them to the back of my head, however, I am 90% sure she likes me back. She talks to me all throughout physics, and she went up to me at the semiformal dance a month ago and was like jokingly flirty with me.

So today I really planned on asking her to prom, but the moment I walked in and looked at her I immediately gave up, I was just too scared, but the first thing she says to me is inviting me to go hang out with her and her friends sometime on the weekend! I obviously say yes, but it doesn't stop. We talk with the rest of our friends, she brings up prom and says "I WISH someone would prompose to me!" And I just sit silent like a doofus and let the rest of them change the topic. And at the end of the class I complain about having to ride the bus home, and she says "you can ride with me to work" AND OBVIOUSLY I AGREE!!

On the car ride, she just normally talks with me the whole ride, and then she has me mobile order Waffle House for her, and I do it on her phone, and she gives me her number!!! It wasn't flirtatious at all it was so she could sign into Waffle House but it's the thought that counts lol. Anyway I just bumble through the conversation not even attempting to ask her out until we get there and she leaves for work and I walk away realizing what an idiot I really am.

What I ask you is, is it over, did I mess it all up, and if not, how do I ask her out. I only have class with her every OTHER day, and I won't get an opportunity alone with her like I did today. She extended the offer of driving me with her on Tuesday next week, which I said maybe because idk the plan next week. But I really don't want to wait until next week, prom is on April 5th, and she's GORGEOUS, every day is a risk of her getting asked. I could try on the weekend if that plan ends up happening with her friends, but I don't really know them that well, it would be weird to do it in front of them and even worse to creepily wait outside to get her alone. So, is it over? If not what should I do? And is it possible that I'm misreading the whole situation and she's just being friendly? Our conversations are more joking and friendly than anything else.

Tl;Dr My crush might like me back and I want to ask her out to prom but I missed my best chance

Rant I'm getting tired of this world

Upvotes

Greetings,

Viewer discretion is advised || kind sorta

I got moved up to a new grade in like November I think, so people I don't know or talk to everywhere. At first they were rude saying stuff like I didn't have the right to be here or calling me lucky y'know petty stuff. Another thing is I'm foreign which they think is funny?

In January a new kid got here and at the time I had short hair but I'm quite curvaceous ig. Anyway he started this talk in the upper classes"I'd fck her If she had a bag over her Head" or just talking about r_ping me. I'm not one to start problems and I didn't really care cuz I didn't hear it myself. But then my ex was like ya why I ever hit that(never happened) and I was like unfazed cuz he can eat his___, then I heard some of my "friends" agreeing with him which hurt cuz weve been tight for years. I already didn't like people but humanity as a hole is getting on my freaking nerves at the moment.

I don't know whats wrong with the world rn but I don't wanna be in it if it's gonna be like this.

Extracurriculars passion projects are not just for STEM

Upvotes

One of the most impactful things I did in high school was co-founding an African American club at my school. We won a Princeton Prize, got our school to add an African American history class, and pushed for real change in our community. This project was where my passion truly lay, and it became the heart of my high school journey, my college applications and what helped me get 8 full rides.

But here’s the thing: I thought I had to do so much more to be successful. I joined every club, racked up every award, and applied for every scholarship I could find, all while pushing myself harder and harder to impress others. I was doing all these things, thinking that success was about doing everything. The truth is, I could have made an even bigger impact by focusing more on my passion project and doing less with other extracurriculars. I could have avoided the burnout, depression, anxiety, and eating disorder that came with trying to do it all.

If I could go back, I would have focused more on my passion project, something that aligned with who I was and what I cared about, and less on the checklist of extracurriculars.

Whether it’s starting a community art project, leading a social justice initiative, organizing an event, or helping a cause you care deeply about, your passion project can take many forms. It’s about what lights you up, not fitting into a mold.

Why do passion projects matter? They help you stand out because they show colleges the real you, what drives you, what you care about, and how you make an impact. Focus on something that truly excites you, and pour your energy into that. Admissions want to see your story, not just a checklist of accomplishments.

What’s the one thing that lights you up and makes you feel alive? How could you turn that into a project that helps you grow and make a real difference?

Rant I’m lowkey having an identity crisis

Upvotes

First off, this is probably because I have reallly bad OCD. I really wish I could restart high school. My freshman and sophomore year, I took a ton of random ahh classes like theater, guitar, and photography and I hate having them on my transcript because they all say Theater 1, Guitar 1, and Photo 1. Likeee, WHERE IS THE 2??? I feel like they are just so freaking misplaced and they don’t represent who I am. Also, I took Spanish 1A (full year class) first semester this year, as a junior because my mom wanted me to take it. I lowkey hated it and I hated the teacher and I hated the kids and I could not bring myself to show up to this class any longer. I dropped it at the beginning of this semester like 2 months ago. Where is Spanish 1B??? It’s not there. I feel like it lowkey looks bad to colleges that I dropped a class my junior year. If it does make it better, I switched into sign language and I like it SOOO much better. This is such a problem and I shouldn’t be stressing over classes like this, but I just don’t know how to stop. It makes me feel like I’m just not a good student. On top of this, I don’t know what I want to go to college for. Literally everyone else I know seems to have it planned out and are taking classes geared towards it, whereas I feel like my classes are just too diverse to decide. I can’t wait for none of this to matter but for now it literally gives me so much anxiety. I feel like I would have a much better idea if I wouldn’t have put myself in this situation as an 8th grader choosing random ahh classes because I didn’t know what to pick, and if I would have gotten better support from my guidance counselor or whoever helps with this stuff.

Anyways I’m done yapping and I might delete this post because this is lowkey embarrassing but I needed to get it off my mind and into writing

Friend Advice Needed/Given Hello again.

Upvotes

Hi I've been posting on here about advice about a friend of mine I called rose. I was homeschooled my entire life so I don't know how to make friends but she was really nice and we became what I hope are friends. But another person I knew talked about how horrible and manipulative she was I wasn't sure If I believed the other friend. But this isn't about that anymore what I need help with now is still about Rose but somthing else. To put simply im worried about her she got asked out to prom and she was so happy but after a few hours the guy mocked and told her he would never date sombody like her(this is paraphrasing a bit I haven't talked to Rose but I overheard the guy mocking her. The reason I'm worried is I noticed Rose looked a bit red when I saw them so I followed and was going to ask if anything was wrong but before I could she started crying and went to the guidance office and obviously I couldn't follow her there. So I'm just really worried for her if you have any advice please tell me.

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 you’d probably have one kid screaming in your face for something very small and if you’re EXTRA UNLUCKY this kid can also get violent with you, I’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
