I don't think anyone actually likes highschool, amirite?

I think for most of us the term high school refers to a 4 year long period of our lives, not strictly what happened in school. I've been out of high school for more than 20 years. While I would never say it was the best time of my life, I do look back on it fondly.

I hated high school but i don't hate it as much as making min wage in my 30's

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Seriously, why do you think you are making min wage this late in life? This is pretty unusual, considering only like 1.5% of people in the US make min wage.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

That's over 10 million people making minimum wage.

Thanks, not sure what your point is. If you look closer, almost all of those jobs are low skilled jobs like food service. Lots of young people starting out, etc.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Starting out yes exactly.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The problem is its not just teenagers making minimum wage, it's adults too. In more heavily populated areas it can be difficult to find a job and you just don't have the time so you have to be exploited or die.

You can't when you don't have money 🤦‍♀️ that's one of the reasons why this is a problem.

I just liked my high school experience because I actually had friends then and I was much happier. Didn't really care about the actual school part

For a lot of people, high school is like this tiny confined society and some kids get to play roles within that society that they never will again. What I mean by that is, for example, the kids on the sports teams get to feel like superstars because their bleachers are full and their peers may or may not talk about the games or wins. After high school most of those kids will be playing a local league infront no one and nobody cares whether they won or not. It's the same thing for other things. I was the best guitarist at my school and our talent shows drew bigger numbers than I ever got to play in front of again (mostly parents, sibling and kids want to get out of class). We did feel like we had some level of reputation or renown even if no one cared as much as we think they did. So for some kids no one will care more about what they do ever again so anything after that can feel like you peaked.

It was ok. But college was so much better.

Choose to not have kids, you'll never have to leave your high school self behind! And you'll have more money to do the things you could only dream of doing back then. 10 years out of high school and living the same life but simultaneously better in every way.

I like college way better than high school. High school is chock-full of peer pressure and it's suffocating. In college, people are generally more mature and I was freer to be myself then. I love my high school clique though (we were mostly wallflowers).

College can have tons of peer pressure, but only if you're a dope who decided to join a fraternity/sorority.

I think people who messed around a lot at school and had friends in every class found it fun. I mean compare it to working 5 days a week full time.

Scoring the winning touchdown is very much high school, as not many people get the opportunity to do that after that time. And people do a hell of a lot more than just study during the 7 hour high school day.

I had a blast my senior year. Including during the day while in school. No, not every single moment was perfect but I enjoyed it very much. Some of the classes were even interesting. Poli-sci, history, guitar, enjoyed all of those classes on the merits of the class itself. Enjoyed cutting up, too. Skipping, cutting class, flirting, hanging out, it was all a great time. So I have to disagree with you and I dont think its an opinion. I think you are objectivel wrong in your claim.

My Sir or Lady or Either or Neither, this is not an opinion, it is factually incorrect. There are people that like it. And yes, I am not one of those. But they like it because they had a good time there. Some may "peak" there but my mother for instance did not and still looks down fondly at that time in her life, her friends, learning stuff as a working class girl having that privilege. She had a hard time getting that I genuinly hated it. But, like I told her, experiences differ.

I disagree. I loved high school. I loved being a student. And I was damn good at it.

I liked high school just fine. I had a good group of friends and being in all honors classes got me away from classes plagued with disruptive students.

There should definitely be a hybrid option for ALL HS students. So many reasons why. Middle school too. A lot of peer pressure- would be nice to lessen the anxiety for such a critical learning time- ridiculous it's not an option in a lot of schools in 2022!

I loved high school. But I also loved college, and grad school, and everything after.

Agreed- High school was pretty crap. College on the other hand was epic good for me. Free to do my own thing, join my own groups, hang with people I liked being around- it was excellent.

Compare the US high schools to say . . . China… there is no comparison. Our schools are jokes compared to other first world countries. We test way behind.
