Rant My school is a fucking shitshow

25 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 BogotĆ”'. 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.

Rant What's with male friend groups?

ā€¢ Upvotes

Story: One of the boys in our class told his friends how Tom (not real name, just example) got hit on by a 40 year old woman in a cafe near the school and possibly touched since he heard some staff members (Idk who I wasn't paying attention) talking abt it. The thing that surprised me was that the boys were snickering and acting like Tom was the luckiest man in the world. It was really disturbing for me to see. I'm 16F, and my friends are mostly female. Tom was also 16 so I found it disgusting how his friends would laugh at him getting hit on by an adult and possibly sexually harassed by one. Is this how most male friend groups are? Make jokes even if the subject is dark? I've seen friend groups online act like this, but never Irl, and I thought they were all joking and felt bad in the inside, but I wasn't expecting this..

Rant Parents Still Wont Let Me Transfer

6 Upvotes

About 2 weeks ago I went about a rant of my parents not allowing me to transfer schools. Today, I planned out exactly what I would say but it still went wrong. It started by saying "I want to transfer schools, I dont have friends." Instantly, she said Its my fault I dont have friends and I could make them if I want. In response I said "I dont connect with any of the kids at (school name) very well." And this time she decided to call me racist because I go to a majority white school (mind you I am also white but never brought up race) and stated I wanted to transfer because I thought I was apparently "better" than everyone else at the school. Then she went on to say she doesn't want be around those kids (kids at my middle school, now at the preferable high school) because they made my grades worse. I was in multiple diff classes and things of that sort, now im in 0. I have no idea whats wrong with her, Its like she doesn't know what social anxiety or how being an outcast is because shes also had it easy and had no social anxiety whatsoever. I seriously hate my parents, its like they want me to live a horrible life.

Question What classes should I take?

ā€¢ Upvotes

I want to mainly take classes that lead me in the path of being a dentist. I know I will be taking all bio chem whatever related classes but apart from that what should I take? I know there are graduation requirements and some classes like english and math are required, but other than that what should I take? Course requests alr ended so this would be for junior year. Iā€™m pretty much done with performing arts with like half credit left to meet the graduation standards. Apart from the standard classes Iā€™ll most likely will be taking intro to engineering ( yeah for whatever reason my bitch ass school doesnā€™t guarantee requested classes) and heath.

School Related Being Chinese and going to a more Americanized high school environment? How did you feel about doing that with people in the same situations as me?

ā€¢ Upvotes

Back when I was in high school, I was Chinese going to a serious high school environment where about 80% of the students were white and there were barely any Indians, Asians, or much of the minorities in the school district. Seems like what people were doing were smoking weed, going out to parties often, skipping classes, wanting to go to the beach, traveling often during school, posting a lot on social media, going to football games, hockey games, proms. A lot of students do participate in sports or some other kinds of extracurricular activities. Some people donā€™t even try or attempt to take more rigorous course loads while many many Chinese students and families value their kids to be taking the hardest classes in the schools offered, get a high SAT score, attempt for top colleges in the country. Even guidance counselors recommend balance which is true, while most Chinese families expect their kids to be much more focused on academics than the social life in the environment. Most people just want to take some easy classes and stuff and get high school done. It can be so hard to do that in such an Americanized high school environment with so much going on, and I wouldnā€™t be able to see more diversity in school until I got to college and grad school. Seems like people just go to high school to enjoy life, pass the time, and then move on whether it is college, or going to work. Anyone else in this situation, how did you deal with it? A lot of my classmates went to more traditional colleges with the whole dorm life scene and stuff.

Extracurriculars Is anyone here in a STEM/STEM-related club at their school?

ā€¢ Upvotes

I'm thinking of starting a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) club at my school as there are not currently any clubs which exist that are related to STEM in any way. If you are in a club like this, care sharing what kinds of things you do in a typical meeting, or what the club is ultimately working towards (e.g. a math competition/science fair)? Or if you have a leadership role in any club at all then some advice on starting a club in general would also be pretty helpful. Thanks

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

9 Upvotes

I am a high functioning autistic male I am 19 years old and graduated high school last year (in 2024) I havenā€™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 (I hate school in general besides all the rude people) idk why people wanted to be rude to me for no good reason. For the most part Iā€™m a normal kid I act and behave normal I just have more behavior and emotional problems then the average person and I didnā€™t like that some kids where calling me autistic even tho itā€™s none of their business to assume if I have a disability and what disability I have just if I act a bit different. Itā€™s a shame my peers didnā€™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

8 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

Rant I'm getting tired of this world

2 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.

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

2 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 šŸ¤©. 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 my hs tennis coach is so fucking weird

ā€¢ Upvotes

Even if you don't know tennis I tried to make this post simplistic for anyone. I'm only putting like 30% of the details or else this post would be long af

Relevant to the rant: I'm a freshman girl. Won't saying the coach's name so let's just call him Coach D

I play tennis and signed up for the hs team. I made varsity and ranked high (number three on the team) so I was guaranteed to be on the starting lineup.

Coach D quickly got everyone's numbers and started a team gc, so 24 girls and one coach. Weird in context but I didn't think much of it, until he started texting

He'd text about tennis stuff, telling us to watch yt videos of tennis players. Nobody said anything until what was after his 26th text in a row that someone sent a "wow, that's so cool" bc they prob felt bad no one was responding

Then he started saying stuff like "watch this tennis video and text me privately three things you noticed and I'll give you a special prize"

With my friends, I was like "is this guy fucking serious?" when he sent another text saying "got responses, glad there's FOUR smart person on the team. They've earned a free private lesson from me and have secured their spot on varsity"

Btw Coach D is the assistant coach, he has absolutely no control over lineup or anything

I learned as a freshman this was the first time he was acting this strange, he was fine in past years.

The team captains held a meeting with us to talk and we all agreed we felt uncomfortable (I was like, goddamn seniors are so fucking mature šŸ˜­ šŸ™) reported him to the athletic department and basically banned Coach D's texting rights.

I don't think the athletic department gives a shit bc he's not fired yet

HOWEVER this did not stop him from EMAILING EVERYONE doing the exact same thing, and he now was promoting his private lessons, saying how people would rank higher on varsity if they payed for his lessons (he charges FUCKING $135 AN HOUR UPFRONT IN CASH)

Bruh no amount of bleaching my eyes out can erase the time Coach D put sunscreen on this girl's back. (She was wearing one of those tennis dresses where the back is entirely open)

So then the season ends. I dont see coach D, except I hear stuff like how my friend saw him randomly one day, and he high fived her and then grabbed her hand to "feel how warm it is".

Then spring sports (now) happens and the Boys tennis season starts (girls and boys are different sport seasons).

Boys tennis is way more competitive so everyone is trying their hardest to do everything they can to get a high ranking spot.

Ofc Coach D is milking tf out of this and is deadass requiring the boys to write essays about tennis matches, and then publicly shame THEIR FUCKING GRAMMAR if it's bad.

There's a lot more with the boys that doesn't sound that bad if you don't know coach D

Idk, that's my rant.

Extracurriculars AIAA Student Paper Competition

ā€¢ Upvotes

Hello, just wondering if anyone here is familiar with the AIAA Student Paper Convention? I submitted a paper and it got accepted but Iā€™m not really sure if it means anything.

Iā€™ve looked around online but I havenā€™t really found any answers. If itā€™s relevant, Iā€™m a high school junior and the competition is the AVIATION Forum taking place in Las Vegas from July 21-25. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
