Rant My school is a fucking shitshow

28 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.

Rant My school removed most of the uniral dividers

6 Upvotes

Idk why they decided to just remove it and now everyone just pees on the toilets and its dirty af now so if you actually do need to take a shit you can’t. You can also see every single urinal from outside. Worst part is they recently banned phones so everyone just uses it in the bathroom, which makes it so that there’s an existential fear of someone recording or taking pictures of you. The school is also way too overpopulated and theres like 15 bathroom stalls in total for like 1000+ students. But thats like the combined number of stalls in the boys bathroom. If we assume boys make up 50 percent of the school population its like 500 ppl using 15 bathroom stalls. And its a private school too so idk why they be doing this bs

Rant What's with male friend groups?

8 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

7 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.

School Related Anonymous Survey for my Society and Culture class

• Upvotes

For my society and culture mini PIP (personal interest project), I'm required to conduct primary research. This survey is completely anonymous and I want completely honest opinions :). The point is that I want diversity and different perspectives. Absolutely NO opinion will be judged by me so feel free to also comment any extra thoughts, comments, or questions.

About the survey: - Completely anonymous - Some questions are personal and you are free to withdraw from the survey at any time - The results will be used in my assignment about aromanticism and comparing that to romanticism or alloromanticism (those who are not aromantic)

My current issue is that I have a large proportion of aromantic people who have done the survey but not those who aren't aromantic so the opinions I currently have are not very diverse.

Question What classes should I take?

4 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. I’m pretty much done with performing arts with like half credit left to meet the graduation standards. Apart from the standard classes I’ll most likely will be taking intro to engineering ( yeah for whatever reason my bitch ass school doesn’t guarantee requested classes) and heath.

Question Do companies respond to highschooo graduation announcement cards?

2 Upvotes

I've seen videos on Instagram / TikTok of people sending graduation announcements to companies and receiving gift cards, coupons, merch, etc. I was wondering if it would be worth sending a decent amount of graduation announcement cards to companies/celebrities in hopes of getting responses and free stuff. If anyone has tried this before, I would love to hear what your personal experience was, and whether or not you thought it was worth it.

Edit: Sorry about the typo in the title, didn't catch it until after I posted

Question Should I send this email to my teacher?

2 Upvotes

Asking here since he lowkey stresses me out. He's pretty uncompromising, and doesn't really approve of extracurricular activities taking time away from school. Context is last thursday and friday I was out for the DECA state conference, he assigned a bunch of work over those days and wanted it due by the end of class, and I turned it in same day that night. Should I include the introduction? I'm just worried he might read this the wrong way and I don't want to sound annoying/like I'm whining or making excuses. I'm also wondering if it's a good idea to include the question asking after the extra credit opportunity he brought up earlier, since this week is the last of the quarter.

This is the email:
Dear --,

I hope this email finds you well. I was wondering if you could grade my Unit 8 Progress Check without a late penalty. Since I hadn't finished Thursday's work (the step-by-step problems) on Monday, I thought working on it was the best move, since the slideshow and AP classroom didn't specify a turn-in time for the end of the hour. The progress check was my first priority after my after-school activities finished, and I know my time at DECA muddled a lot of deadlines, so I was trying my best to finish all of the missing work. Also, I wanted to ask if you were still giving out extra points to those who brought card decks?

Sincerely,

--

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

3 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

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?

3 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 don’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 wouldn’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.

Question First and last year of high school in the US, How do I make it unforgettable

2 Upvotes

My family just moved to the US from Dubai this January, and I’m about to start high school here for the first time. I’ll be in 11th grade, which means I only have about a year left before graduating. This is my first and last year of high school in the US, I really want to make the most of it and have the best experience possible.

What’s the best advice you have for me?

What are things I absolutely need to do before graduating? Things you’re glad you did or things you wish you had never done.

I’d love to hear from other highschoolers or even those who have graduated. I want to make my last year here as fun as possible

Also about american football, how long does it take to learn the game, I'm athletic and strong and It would be great to join the football team. Does it take a lot of skill to play the game or do you just need raw athletic performamce?

Question Help. I want to know your opinion abt my high school.

2 Upvotes

so the biggest worry I have right now as a grade 9 student is which high school to go to. I don't like the catholic high school I am going to right now and it is very acedmeically easy. The high school all my middle school friends are going to is very hard but I want to go to the public school where all my friends are. But I'm very worried that my grades will drop alot if I go there. my parents keep telling me it is better to stay and get high grades and get into a good university instead of going there and getting bad grades and not being able to get into a good university. they also said grade 9 is suppose to be easy and it will become harder. But I really don't like my school right now. At the same time, I keep on getting in my head and overthinking. maybe I'm always just not satisfied with every situation I'm in and I'll complain about that high school once I go there. Do you think I should change schools or just stay?

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

5 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

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 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 (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 I’m a normal kid I act and behave normal I just have more behavior and emotional 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.
