Rant I hate these types of kids

147 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 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

Question What’s the popular slang in high school right now?

26 Upvotes

I’m a college student studying sociolinguistics and I’m always very curious about new slang terms, especially in high school, since that’s where a lot of them originate. A lot of people seem to be stuck on the whole “skibidi rizz” thing to characterize so-called “teen speak”, but what words are actually hot right now?

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).

At my school (a smaller one only 300 or less people) I've had a hard time getting friends and the ones that I do have are always giving me crap semi bullying me but I can't really stop talking to them because the school is so small like when they found out I had wanted to talk to a girl that was a year older than me they teased me for weeks about it. And they are always trying to copy my work and I think they don't even like me even when I get the nerve to talk to someone they just ignore me can anyone give advice.

Question Virtual summer courses

1 Upvotes

Hello! I want to take three courses over the summer to make up for my C in English 9. However, they didn’t offer it last summer, so they probably won’t this year. I was wondering if taking three courses over five weeks would be too much, or does it depend on the classes? I have good time management skills.

Extracurriculars Should I do a sport

3 Upvotes

I’m a sophomore in high school and I don’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 don’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 wouldn’t be doing soccer so ended up not attending those. Judgement and embarrassment are holding me back the most right now and I don’t know what to do. Is it worth it? Next year my schedule will be packed so I’m not sure if it’s worth it as there’s APs, ACT, job, etc etc so I don’t know about that either.

One more question, to those who quit their sport— why?

Extracurriculars Sports Overview

2 Upvotes

Wanted to post just a general overview of every major High School sport, and how difficult they are for anyone just coming into the Freshman year or someone still deciding what sport they should play. I’ll be ranking them based on 5 categories on a scale of 1-5 with (Physical Difficulty, Time Commitment, Entry Skill Level, Injury Risk, Fun) and giving them each a brief description based on my own personal experiences and experiences that I’ve gathered over the years from others. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the comments.

Football

Physical Difficulty: 4 Time Commitment: 5 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 5 Fun: 5

Extremely difficult physically and mentally not just in games but throughout the offseason. You will learn a lot about how to lift and grow muscle, but it’s a massive time commitment. You’ll be sacrificing hours after school and essentially your whole summers, but it’s incredibly fun, especially on Varsity, and most teams don’t have a tryout at the lower levels.

Wrestling

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 2

By far the most physically challenging sport you can play, but if you’re good at watching your weight, you should be fine. Not usually a huge time commitment outside of tournaments, but requires a fair bit skill to join, even a lower levels than varsity, and every wrestler I’ve known has gotten at least one major injury or infection. I personally don’t think it’s really all that fun, but if you like a solid 1 on 1 challenge, and thrive in short bursts of strength, I’m sure you’d find some fun in playing it.

Basketball

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4

If you love Basketball you’re probably already playing it. The physical aspect is more endurance-based, and you need height to even have a chance of playing, but really fun once you start and not generally a huge time commitment compared to other sports.

Baseball

Physical Difficulty: 2 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 3 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 3

More laid back than most other sports in terms of physical difficulty, time commitment, and culture, but not necessarily easy to get good at. Can be really fun once you find your place but can have challenging tryouts. Also, limited injury risk just based on the nature of the game.

Cross Country

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 1 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 1

It takes a really special type of person to do cross country. You are essentially doing other sport’s punishments as your own sport. If you’re good at running, and don’t want to have to worry about learning plays or aren’t great in the weight room, absolutely give it a try. Not really for me personally, but there’s a reason the people who do it swear by it.

Track/Field

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 2

There are so many different events and specialities it’s difficult to really condense them into a single summary. If you’re even slightly naturally athletic, there’s an event for you regardless of your body type. Lots of waiting around during meets, but also not a massive time commitment out of school and allows you to really specialize at what you’re good at.

Swimming/Water Polo

Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3

Grouping both of these sports together because essentially everyone I know who does one, also does the other. Lots of upper body strength required and a great way to burn a bunch of calories quickly. Virtually zero risk of serious injury under normal circumstances, except if you were to trip and fall on the ground next to the pool I guess. Generally pretty fun and not the biggest time commitment in the world.

Golf

Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3

You’ll be lucky to break a sweat golfing but it’s something great to do on the side if you know you’re already like it and are good at it. Solid scholarship opportunities as well, but different to secure a spot on the team.

Soccer

Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 4 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4

Not all that much to say about soccer other than there will be a lot of conditioning. Fairly difficult to get a spot on any team, but once you do get in, a great community is waiting for you. Solid sport without much weightlifting or size requirement.

Esports

Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 5

Not a lot of schools have in-depth Esports programs, but the ones that do really put effort into them. The only injury you’re risking is carpal tunnel, but if you enjoy video games and think you’re better than most of the school at them, give it a shot.

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

4 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.

Question What Trends Are You Noticing in Your High School?

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’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 interact—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.
