    Here's my 2 cents :
    **** school.

    Well, only the crappy ones I've been to.

    Trust me, I hated this certain high school when I went there for 3 years before going back to local for my senior year, when I finally did better.


    Let's say, certain teachers taught jack shit, while other teachers taught miracles.

    only classes i pay attention in are my AP classes, and i get C's and B's in em without the AP curve. so my Bio will be an A, and APUSH will be a B so.

    I used to be shy during my 1st grade-11th grade and not really hung out with many girls SOBER. Now this summer pretty much all ive done is hang out with girls sober, gotten out of my shell so.

    funny? how did you get so social? I'm really shy, but when someone talks to me, I talk alot >_>

    So yeah, not really to go offtopic, but for those college people, how do you become so social if you commute?

    If you want something I do better at now though I say it would be taking care of myself and dressing nice. I used to give a rats ass about how I looked now I'm obsessive over it.
    Well, then how did you proceed to high school?

    Yah? did your teachers ever make fun of you for believing in certain things you yourself didn't even understand very well? they ever tell the whole class that if you believe in science then your a follower of satan? Did the only good teacher you had get arrested for things she didn't do because the church decided they didn't like her and her family? I could go on but you see where I'm going with this...

    funny thing is when I was abused I got better grades than after I got away from that situation.

    I didn't do very good at math and spanish when I was still in school.

    Now I guess some of it stuck, because I can figure shit out when I have to.

    warning isn't really my thing hence why I don't post much lol

    but seriously I'm still trying to get over all the ****ed up values and lessons they tried to teach at 1st/2nd school, then the 3rd one i went was great sorta but my living situation was very undesirable so then I went to my 4th school and they weren't teaching just giving us papers and telling us what to questions to do so I just gave up on it then went to a school to catch up on credits (5th school) and that was fun cuz i didn't have to do anything all day and they were pretty laid back plus lots of hookups for the sacred herb so it was all good I guess...then I was forced to move here in canada and no school here..gotta go back to US when I'm 18 in a year and get my GED + community college.

    It's a shame I can't study Science if i'm studying Computers. We do, however, get economics which sucks major ass cock. I was the best in my old school at Science and English, I even represented the school in some sort of english contest. I ended 4th because I accidently said bus-si-ness instead of biss-ness, major unfair because the others had this worse accent ever and my accent is decent.

    Personally I think elementary school is a waste of time. If they started teaching us about the stuff they want us to learn in elementary school instead of wasting time learning about butterflies then the US would be way ahead of the rest of the world in terms of passing students.
