I hate my school what should I do?

If someone followed me into the bathroom I'd make a joke out of it, like, "Oh hi! Do you have to go too? What a coincidence!" Or ask them to pass you the toilet paper. \nMean, scary people--stay away. \nTwo-faced people--are at EVERY high school. Ask yourself, what makes them that way? It is their own insecurity and trying too hard to fit in with too many people. If you are confident in yourself and kind to everyone, then it doesn't matter what anyone says to you or about you. Maybe you have heard this a hundred times already. . .but it really is true. As you get older, everyone mellows out and guess what, gets nicer. Really. High school kids can be totally cruel and mean. But if you can rise above it you will be two steps ahead of them. \nI was so shy in high school. I was always kicking myself for the things people said to me and the things I WISH I had said to them (come backs). But now I realize that if I had been more sure of myself I would have definitely had more friends, and I wouldn't have been hurt by the silly things people said (and sometimes they didn't really mean any harm). \nHigh school is a fake world. Whoever is important there will probably never be important again. Whatever happens or is said will be totally forgotten after a year or so. \nMaybe you should try to find friends outside of school, like a mentor or youth group. \nAnd if you smile and say good morning to your teachers you'll find not all of them are so bad. I am sorry if you have bitter losers for teachers. Look at them as if you were their same age. Would you still see them in the same way? Or would you have some sympathy for them?\nTry to get the best education you can. If you have to join some class outside your high school, then so be it. \nWhen I remember being in high school I don't recall it being especially fun. The years immediately following--college and after that--were about a MILLION times better. I don't even think I had many friends in high school. I had one, but she drove me crazy. And then maybe 2 other girls that were younger than me. That was it!! But I did have a couple teachers who were totally cool. I will never forget them, and I'll never forget some of the things we studied, books we read, etc. \nI just kept going and things went totally uphill from then on out. Do not quit!

I wish I new then what I know now.I remember being so afraid to start a new school. Being so self consious of every move I made, as if everyone was watching me.It's a horrible feeling and I feel for you. But just remember this. By nature people are followers.And they will follow whatever lead you give them.What I mean by that is,if you go into that new school,your head hung low,shy and without confidence. Then that is the reaction you'll get.Few people will want to talk to you and school will be a scary place.But if you go to that new school with your head held high,showing no fear.People will come a flockin.\n  If your lacking self esteem, not to worry it can be learned.Self talk is the key to it. Keep forcing yourself to get out there and be out going and sooner than later you'll notice it becomes second nature.GOOD LUCK !!! And go get Um Tiger!!!!!

you need to talk to a conselor or a close friend or member of your family. try hanging out with people from other schools. see if that helps.

Well sir ee bob.  I am a student from a high school which was closed 2 years ago.  for  many years before the closure the schools parents group fought very hard to keep it open.  the closure was even taken to court!!   the "big shots" ignored our small town fight and closed the school down.  the student moved to a brand new school half an hour away.  the new school is horrible qquite possibly the worst school in our region.  it was built with tools and not with love which is what a schoolshould be built of.  my advice to you would be to go to your local  schoolboard meetings and during the open floor discussions ask questions to the board.  get a group of people to gether and push hard for the school board to rethink the closure.  rememeber that if you can convince them and the community that the closure of the school would negativly impact the the student's education you are on the right path.  if you see that they will not budge, push hard for the best possible new school avalible.  my final advice is get the whole comunity and surronding area on board.  strenght in numbers. good luck

There is nothing a bunch of strangers can say that is going to really help you and you can ask until you get the answer that you want.  \n\nYOU have to make this decision.  Is there anything that you can do that will make this better? What about it do you hate?  Is it the school - could you transfer?  Is it medicine - maybe you should try another area of it?\n\nYou really have to disect it and find out what is wrong otherwise you won't be happy just by quiting.

It probably does suck to be in school but it sounds like you are going to a great school.  You will end up being a better person for it.  They are teaching you skills that you will come to understand one day when you are older.  You won't end up being some slack ass who quits college or ends up jobless in your 30's.  Don't worry everyone hates school at some point.  You only have a year to go.  Hopefully, your Senior year will be more fun.

You need to understand that the more you defy authority, the closer eye the teacher will have on you.  If you stop drawing attention to yourself and behave yourself in your class, it could get better, but once you are on someone's bad side, it's tough to change.  You're making it out like he's just got a dislike for you, but you need to understand that teachers have 5-7 classes a day with 20-30 kids in them.  They cannot allow kids to just be smart a**** or it will just distract the entire class & they lose precious time with those who want to learn.  Try paying attention, answering questions, stop talking to your girlfriend... you can hang with her at lunch or afterwards.  This is soooo important, adults just can't explain how important it is to do your best now for your own future.  Good luck sweety :)

Well you have to breathe and realize that what happens happens and there is nothing you can do to change that....Accept what is going to happen and you will handle it alot better when it does....Just pray and work hard to get into the school of your preference but, if you don't the first thing the kids at that school will see your fear and exploit it and pick on you trust me i've been to like 5 schools in my life and I know that you have to act as if you don't care even if you do good luck your young so it's a good learning experience what doesn't kill ya makes you stronger

the reason you hate it is because you don't understand it.  Get some extra help at school, or ask a friend to help you.

sweetheart the best way to deal with this is either move to another table or stand your ground since no teachers care you can start putting it back on the ones that do this to you, by throwing it back at them. another thing is there a guides counselor you can go and talk to about this? that may work because more or less this is bullin and most schools dont tolerate this act. i hope i helped you some hugs sweetie, best of luck sunshinelady_40940

Oh honey, I understand how much it has to hurt you.\n\nThe only way to get rid of hate is to try to understand. I'm sure your parents are trying to do what they think is best. Parents make mistakes. They aren't perfect. Have you told them how you feel? Maybe they don't realize that a "good" school isn't as important to your present or future as being with you is. Parents are under so much pressure to focus on "success" and they don't stop to think that success is on the inside and not on outwardly things. Or maybe there are other circumstances that make them think this will be good for you.\n\nThe school is trying to do what's best for you, also. I know you don't want to be there, but don't do it for them, do it for you. Struggles make you stronger and you can get through this. Don't focus on what you don't have. Focus on what you do have. You have parents who love you and you have a good education if you will allow it. Many children do not have nearly as much.\n\nMake friends if you haven't. Write your feelings down because you shouldn't keep them inside. Hang in there. It will get easier to deal with.

1. Listen carefully. The most annoying questions are the ones that the teacher has already answered, sometimes moments before.\n\n2. Ask a classmate first. If your classmates don't know either, it isn't a dumb question. \n\nYour teacher is an overworked, underpaid professional who could be making much more money skills in almost any other field. And if she took another job, she would greatly enjoy whole days where nobody is rude to her. \n\nMany teachers will take another job at the end of the school year and never come back to the classroom. The new teachers will have worse tempers, and your education will suffer.\n\nYour teacher is in the classroom because she cares about preparing you as well as she can for a future you can't even imagine. She wants to see you work and learn because you need that knowledge for yourself. Grownups shouldn't have to talk you into doing your own work.\n\nTake responsibility for your own learning--own it--and your teacher won't get mad at you nearly as much.

It really depends.  Why do they all 'hate' you?  Is it something you've done to them?  Probably not as girls can be a vicious breed.  It makes life easier if everyone liked you, and wouldn't tease you, but I'd say if you don't put your concerns on whether they like you or not, and try your best to concentrate in class.. they'll probably get bored of you (if they're harassing you).  \n\nMore drastic choices would be talk to the teacher or principal... see if you can switch your classes.  And know if you can't, that this isn't a permanent (I hope not anyways) class.  This fall you'll get a whole new classroom of folks - hopefully not the same girls.\n\nBest wishes!

I have been in the same boat as you...and now I am a teacher.  First you need to find out what criteria you need to meet in order to get a better grade.  Talk to the most evilist teacher alive, and let her know you want to get better grades.  Ask her if she has a rubric for grading her papers.  Perhaps you are not getting or studying the right information...such a waste to study something that really doesn't matter.  Good luck!
