Way to say you had a good school experience - and everyone should. But not everyone does, unfortunately.

I had no friends, back in school. I'm happy it's over!

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Same, I think often about when I met my school bully a few years after we left high school and I was back home over summer break working a temp job, he was the supervisor. He told me to quit the job, leave my home town and enjoy my life. Sounds like a stupid movie cliche I know. Anyway he was obviously depressed and kept talking about how school was the halcyon days.

I guess I'm grateful school was shit as I have gone on to know what not to look for from situations and what I want and need from friends and work.

Not a bad bully redemption arc

[-] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago

I didn't have friends in school. Hell, because of my undiagnosed autism and untreated trauma, I didn't even have peers.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I'm hind sight, many of my "friends" were bullying me, I was just happy not to be 100% alone

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I had that experience in school. Even in college people would invite me to their dorm and put me in strange situations just to see how I would react. They didn't know anyone else like me.

Felt like being in a zoo. Or a circus. It was nice to be sought out, though. And they were clueless kids, so I try to not hold a grudge about it.

I hated school because there was a bunch of kids mocking and laughing at me for most of it.

I guess some popular kids had good times by pulling my pants down or constantly hitting my chair during class. They must reminisce and miss those times, when they were laughing with their peers.

This meme is completely unrelatable.

I hated school.

I never sat in the back of a classroom dying of laughter with friends.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Nah. The school I hated didn't have that.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Ah, the good memories of being bullied and being told to kill myself

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Most people hate school. Even the "smart kids", what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, certified "smart kid" here, and I had some friends, but most of my close friends weren't in my classes, so I barely got to see them. I love learning, it's literally the reason why I'm learning another language rn and spend hours tinkering with my laptop, but I fucking hated school. It was so monotonous and tiring, and I was waking up before sunrise to get ready for school but frequently went to sleep past 12 am. Add clubs and sports on that and I had mornings where I seriously wondered why I was still alive.

I cried several times each week in my classes, and sometimes at the front of the room near the teachers desk. Whenever I recount the various times I silently cried in class, my friends look horrified.

Highschool was not kind.

Sorry to hear that, fam. I hope it got better eventually.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

I think people who hated school generally didn't sit in the back of the class dying of laughter with their friends. I know I definitely didn't.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

No, thanks. Uni was so so much better and having money is even better.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

i accidentally picked the gayest high school to go to and even coming out as trans in my last year didn't cause me any troubles. even the old teachers who never saw a trans person (that they knew was trans) before me did their best to respect my pronouns and identity without judgement. and all that in Poland, a country not exactly famous for being inclusive.

but i got insanely lucky, school can be tough. my heart goes all to those who's joy of learning got dulled by others

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I wish that all schools were like that, everywhere.

I'm really happy to read that you had as positive an experience as realistically possible :-)

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I've been working for longer than I was in school, and I don't have regular nightmares about being stuck in an office building. Just saying.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Still hate school

And I can still die of laughter at work

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I had friends in school and it still fucking sucked

The best part was music class and gym

College was better because people were more mature and in my experience the friend groups were more stable and less drama

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Hah! As if the teachers would let you sit in the back. Up front, dead center.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That was literally mandated for me in my mainstream classes by my IEP

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

What kind of mythical teachers did you have that actually gave a damn about an IEP? (/s but not really)

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I wouldn’t have hated school if that was part of it

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Highschool was fun as fuck but the school parts were torture. So boring and I was tired and hungry.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

My last year of high school was the best year of my life.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

School was great. Short days, long lunch and breaks. Loads of holidays. Had an hour of exercise thrown in every few days. Loads of people to talk to. Different things to learn.

Hated certain classes and hated being a child at times.

Last couple of years of highschool was awesome. Dropped all the shit classes, people suddenly treated you better because you was a young adult had even more time off! Like fuck 3 hours of work a day was unreal. (Where is our reduced workforce efficiency gains!)

But I agree with the other guy uni was much better. More drinking, more fucking more independence. Uni was the dream.

I hated school, which is why I rarely attended. If I was there, I was stoned and sleeping.
