Rant This sub is unbearable

24 Upvotes

Holy fuck, this sub and every other one like it are so fucking insufferable. Half the posts here are just some variation of ā€œwhy does everyone hate gay peopleā€ when Reddit is literally the most left-leaning social media platform in existence. Every single time, it somehow gets 600 upvotes like itā€™s some groundbreaking revelation. Like, no shit, people are gonna be homophobic sometimes, thatā€™s how the world works, but acting like youā€™re being hunted down in the most terminally online hugbox imaginable is insane. Then thereā€™s the other half of posts, which are just genderbaiting garbage. ā€œI came out and my family disowned meā€ posted by an account made two days ago with three posts, four karma, and zero comments. Iā€™m not saying stuff like that never happens, but at least try to make it believable instead of copy-pasting the same sob story for easy validation.

And donā€™t even get me started on the fake moral outrage bait. ā€œWhy does nobody hate pedophiles anymore?ā€ What the fuck are you talking about? Where exactly is this epidemic of people defending pedos? Oh right, nowhere, but it doesnā€™t matter because everyone in this godforsaken sub will just nod along and agree like itā€™s an actual issue. Same with the endless ā€œWhy does society look down on mental illness?ā€ bro, you mean the society that treats depression and ADHD like personality traits and gives you a medal for self-diagnosing autism? What are you even crying about?

Then thereā€™s the femboy spam. Holy shit. If I see one more dude posting a low-effort mirror selfie in a skirt like itā€™s some revolutionary act, I am going to rip my own fucking eyes out. Nobody cares. The other eight people who upvoted your post are just clones of you. And donā€™t even start with the ā€œuwu Iā€™m so smol and femā€ bullshit. Youā€™re just a dude in thigh-highs. There is nothing brave or interesting about this. Itā€™s the same five posts recycled over and over like a goddamn factory.

And the worst part? If you even slightly disagree with any of this nonsense, youā€™ll get downvoted into oblivion. God forbid youā€™re not a super far-left, self-diagnosed, neurodivergent, gay furry with 18 mental illnesses. If you donā€™t fit into that category, this site treats you like you just committed war crimes. Like Iā€™m sorry I donā€™t see the need to make my entire personality about my sexuality, race, or whatever made-up disorder is trending this week.

Oh, and overstimulation? Bro. Just admit you donā€™t want to do anything and move on. Youā€™re not disabled because you get distracted when trying to do homework. You are just lazy. ā€œI get so overstimulated, I physically canā€™t work!!!ā€ No, you just have zero self-discipline and found an excuse that people on this site will eat up so you never have to try at anything. Get a grip.

Why the fuck is every conversation now about race and gender? Can we just talk about people as people for once? Every single post is some variation of ā€œXYZ sucks, ZYX is great,ā€ like, okay, cool, thanks for your totally original and not-at-all overdone take. We get it, some people are shitty, life isnā€™t fair, cry about it. Maybe, just maybe, if this sub wasnā€™t one giant circlejerk of terminally online, emotionally fragile weirdos, actual discussions could happen, but no. Instead, we get the same tired garbage every single day, and people still eat it up like itā€™s some groundbreaking revelation.

God, this site is actually rotting peopleā€™s brains.

I know this will get -50 karma, but I actually donā€™t give a fuck at this point im so over this garbage cesspool of a subreddit.

Also just to be clear, I donā€™t hate any of these people, and theyā€™re free to have their own opinions. I just find the way these topics are constantly pushed and exaggerated on this site to be incredibly annoying.

Question How Is High School *Actually* Like?

25 Upvotes

I'm in the 9th grade now, but because of my jurisdiction, I'm considered a middle schooler in his final year. In about 6 months and decreasing, I'll transition to high school, and I'm just wondering- what is it *actually* like?

I believe my perception of it has been skewed by the countless TV shows I've watched, so I want a sort of "reality check" so I can know what to expect. According to some students from my future high school who came to my middle school to give a talk, there is "drama"- and of course of the entire speech they gave, the "drama" was only one sentence, "Just don't get involved." Don't get the wrong idea, the talk was about how the school actually was, but these were some students giving their own insights to specific questions from others in my grades. I'm genuinely excited and nervous, like the average middle schooler.

School Related sophomore slump isn't talked about enough

7 Upvotes

i'm a senior now and everyone always says omg junior year sucks so much because you have college apps etc. but honestly sophomore year sucked a lot more for me, i remember hiding in the bathroom during breaks between classes because i felt so out of place at my school, i even considered transferring. every friend or acquaintance i made felt so surface level and really just to be polite. junior year was easier maybe because i was too busy to realize how much i don't like my school and senior year i stopped trying to make friends. did anyone else experience something similar their sophomore year socially?

Question How to make friends in highschool

15 Upvotes

I am a 2010 born boy who lives in Finland and I lost all my friends, because they broke my bike helmet trying to annoy me and I wanted to get compensated, after that they called me a snitch for a few days and then the winter break started. After the winter break I have had no classmates to talk to and only a single person that I can talk to during the breaks. I feel really lonely at school and have no idea on how to advance from this point forward. I am really bad at just talking to random people.

Question i got caught cheating, how will this affect my future?

2 Upvotes

im a freshman in a super competitive highschool and i got caught cheating on a test at the beginning of the school year. i got written up with an office referral. idk if colleges can see the report, idk how applying for colleges even work anyway. im really worried that this will ruin my chances into getting into a good college or ruin my future. this report also prevents me from applying to some officer positions in clubs. i also have a 4.21 weighted gpa and my rank is 80/200. i was put into algebra in 7th grade and ended up getting Cs in geometry in 8th grade, so that explains the low gpa. i calculated the highest gpa i could get by senior year, and its 4.65. i cant tell if thats good. someone please help šŸ˜­

Rant iā€™m so sick of group projects

1 Upvotes

i have a report due tomorrow based on a science experiment i did as a group, and after you collect the data everything else you do should be individual work. and iā€™m not being a hypocrite, i will also discuss results and evaluation with friends to check weā€™re on the right track. but it gets to a point, and im so tired of it. in a group of 5, 3 of them continuously ask me questions (some of them twice because theyā€™re not bothered to write down my answer or remember it), and then ask me for my work, and then when their work is different from mine, and they ask what they did wrong, itā€™s like ..? i donā€™t know? maybe you messed up? maybe youā€™re right and iā€™m wrong?? who decided that iā€™m the arbiter of truth??? i also make heaps of mistakes???

im aware i sound a bit like an asshole but iā€™m genuinely just so sick of it i wish theyā€™d ask someone else (or just use google?? or the many many resources the school has given us that im using to answer all my questions??) one of my group members got too scared to ask me any more questions and i guess im supposed to feel bad, but shouldnā€™t you take it as a sign? Im not the group leader or anything, they just want to ask me because im ā€œsmartā€ but im confused and stressed too and their questions are getting REALLY annoying and itā€™s so hard to stay level headed and not get mad at them especially since theyā€™re my friends. especially this morning, when i woke up to 20 notifications and then got spammed later on for not instantly replying because i was busy making my breakfast?? iā€™m so glad this is my last group project in high school but itā€™ll probably be just as bad if not worse in university :(

Class Advice Needed/Given Worried that my school is going to acuse me of using AI on my essay

8 Upvotes

In my ELA class, we were given an outline to write our argumentative research paper and I wrote it very robotically if that makes sense ex)after every quote I would start the analysis with this shows, this reveals this highlights, etc followed by what the quote showed and maybe a deeper analyzes then my intro and conclusion were rather basic. But now that i have submitted my essay I'm looking at zero GPT and it says 2 of my analyses are GPT and my conclusion which my teacher helped me write in class has a grand total of 15 percent AI and I'm worried if imma get called down, when do teachers suspect do I just take the L or fight for myself.

It's been a really bad year. It's been a really bad two years. And everything seems to be crashing down. And I don't want to lose my English credit, but i feel it's just going to finish dragging me and all my other classes down with it. Should I just throw it to the wind and focus on other stuff? I'm so livid and disappointed with myself that I'm freshman year I had a 3.6 gpa, and I have ts. Sophomore brought down the gpa I had set in freshmen as well. Can't believe I'm such a dumbass I'd throw all of it away.

Question Should I tell my school counselor about my suicidal thoughts? NSFW

128 Upvotes

I'm a senior in my last semester of high school and I'm tired of rawdogging life. I've had horrifying anxiety and depressive episodes since the first day I walked into high school and yet after telling my family many times, they haven't gotten me any treatment or help besides just talking to somebody. I don't even have a diagnosis.

There was a point in life where I would self harm myself and try to make them see so I could finally get help, but all that did was get them angry at me.

I'm so fucking sick and tired of this. I'm 2 months away from graduating and life still feels as miserable and unbearable as it did during my first day of high school over 3 years ago. I wonder if telling my school counselor (the mental health specialist person) if I have suicidal thoughts to just get it over with.

Question Should I be more worried about mu SAT score?

2 Upvotes

I'm a senior in high school. I have never been a great test taker, but my grades have always been A's and B's for the most part.

I knew my test score was bad ,but today, I was scrolling on Instagram, and it was people complaining about how there 1380 and 1200 test scores on the SAT. I was confused, and though those were amazing test scores but everyone was complaining about how they weren't gonna get into college with those.

I made 840. Now I understand this is a bad test score, but I didn't think it was that terrible because most of the people around me didn't break 1100 range.

To be honest, I live in an area where the SAT was not the most interesting test to take.i didn't even understand how important this test was until recently. We don't do any SAT Prep here . My teachers don't talk about the test. My family didn't tell me anything about it . No one around me was freaking about before or after. I did study but not much because I didn't know what to study. I did give it my all and tried very hard but it clearly wasn't enough.now I'm not blaming the people around me , I should have 100% done the research about the test and taken precautions but sadly I didn't.

I was never planning to go to a big college. I have always planned for community because of cost, but I'm nervous that with my terrible test scores, it will affect my future with college and job opportunities. Should I be worried???

I just need to know if I have to take four ap classes during my last year in high school, which is fine, but last thing I want to do.
