    As most of you know school is a very important part of your life, whether it be a good experience or bad it's sad to be the most memorable time of your life. I'd love to see people sharing their stories, whether they're still in school or old like me and finished it. I urge the fact of using spoilers, as posts may get long or contain expressive things that may not be suitable for posting.

    Mature content.

    I really hope you guys share, whether it's a sad story or a happy one, school is a important time in your life, do take it seriously.

    Can't be f***ed to let people get to me.
    Everyone is different, and to each their own.

    I've never had any problems in school given that I was the one who always pissed people off on purpose in hopes of sparking a reaction to get into a fight.
    Dunno, nobody ever really cared to pick on me given they just minded their own business.

    School, the good old days.

    Well, it's school, I don't go around picking fights at parties.
    Tbh I'm not a party guy, I dislike large groups of people. Last party I went to was with close friends and there was only about 15 of us. Small group and enough to enjoy our time.

    year 1-6 was the worse years of my life.The thing is, I was never really picked on, it was more that I was ignored, by everyone, I didn't have a single person to call a friend, and at one point I thought I was insane, like I really thought I had gone mad. I think it was because at one point I had imagined killing some girl that walked by me at lunch ._.
    I would try doing anything for attention, like almost passing out by banging my head against the wall for example.

    Year 7 is better though, I have friends, though I do have people that hate me, one of them stuffed sand down my shirt at camp. Only problem is that everyone in school thinks I'm gay, including the teachers, that seem to just refuse to let me sit with the girls in class >_< A few people I trust know the 'truth', but apart from that I just deny it because it got annoying after a while...

    So that's me, hi.

    I'm not really the party type either; I just mentioned it as a kind of example.
    I could just as well have written "You must be fun at school", though that doesn't quite sound right.
    Small groups are always nicer, I guess.
    Having people around you whom you trust, are familiar with, and most importantly enjoy being around with simply calls for a better atmosphere.
    Alas, that would be my personal opinion.

    Hmm, mines not that much of a "Sad" Story later on. However. At kindergarten, theres was this one kid, who always used to pinch me, One day, i came back with a messed up face and my mother was furious. she contacted the school and the pinching kid's mother had to pay for my surgery bills (My eye lid was ripped at the top, i had to get plastic surgery.) Ever, since then, I'm paranoid about going near heat, cause of the fact that my eye lids would melt (Plastic surgery.)

    Then comes primary school. In my primary school, there was only 192 students in total and 52 grade 5-6's
    I was one of the most athletic ones, so I didn't really get picked on. :p There's not much more :p

    Then comes year 7. My first day at a Private school. At first i thought It would be AWESOME.
    But alas, since i got into this school with a musical scholarship, I had to attend band EVERYDAY before and after school. I got sick of it. Even in year 7, i was one of the Stronger kids, I never got picked on, and i never picked on anyone. But, at semester 2, A new kid came to our school. he was acting all though and was trying to be the "Cool" Kid. In reality, he was indeed tough, he would pick on weaker kids. One of the "Weaker" kids happened to be my best friend. But, Since i didn't want any trouble, I kept it to myself. Then, about a month later, he smashed my best friend's head into a locker, causing him to faint, and lose a tooth. That got the better of me, I lashed out and fought him. Long story short, I dislocated my middle finger, (Which I managed to pop back in somehow.) And me breaking his nose. I ended up getting a Saturday detention, and him, getting expelled. (The only reason I got a Saturday was because the teacher's son was my best friend. And the fact that he bullied the teacher's son many times as well.)

    Then comes year 8, My year now, It's been enjoyable, with no problem, except for my English teacher, Mr. Everett. He's one of those teachers who's always like "I know everything, I know how to teach the best, so shut up and listen to what I say. You have no opinion here." It seems like everyone hates him :p So that earn't him the nickname Mt. Everett (He's Obese :3)

    I guess that's all I have to say about my schooling career.
    Hue :p

    I'd like to say I've enjoyed reading the few stories so far. The good and the bad. :) I'm sorry for the bad times people have had. ;-; I wish life was fair, unfortunately, it usually isn't.

    It's brave of people to share their stories. :heart:

    Oi, school. Alright, I suppose it couldn't hurt to let people into the world of Keeper. :p

    The world of Keeper, by the way, may not be what you're all expecting. For those who I have never spoken to about my problems, you may be surprised. As per usual, I typed a lot. :p Also, for the most part, it's not happy stories... so uhm... if you're looking for something upbeat and cheerful from me, don't read this. XD If you want a window into my head, then go ahead... but I don't want anyone feeling like they should read it if they don't want to. XD
    Warning: There are some sensitive topics.
    Yeah, thankfully I'm not in school anymore. >.> But uhm, let's see... from the top...

    Elementary school

    High school

    University

    Oh, and I wanted to add... (but ran out of characters :oops:)...

    For those who struggle in school, it is temporary. It's over for me now, though the ending wasn't what most expect when they start. University can be a lot of fun by the way, and the work isn't that hard if you can schedule properly and keep on top of it, College is manageable too. Time management, time management, time management. But if you just get your high school and you don't want a job that needs further education, it's not for everyone. As long as you have high school, you have opportunities.

    As for elementary and high school, if you struggle with the school work, there is no shame in asking for help. Not everyone learns the same way or at the same speed, as long as you learn what you need to, that's all that matters. As for the social stuff, there will come a day when it will all be different, and you'll see it all differently too. It is temporary. It does end. And life will go on. :)

    For those who enjoyed school or do enjoy school, I'm happy for you. It's a great way to be. Hopefully, you can keep enjoying it, and work, and everything else you face in life. :)

    Oh, and this feels like a fun time to share my new favourite song. :p
    Warning: there's one mature word / swear in this song;


    My favourite part, has to be;
    They tell us from the time we're young
    To hide the things that we don't like about ourselves
    Inside ourselves
    I know I'm not the only one who spent so long attempting to be someone else
    Well I'm over it

    Because I feel it's very true for me, and this kind of a feeling is why I don't mind sharing stories, if people actually want to read them. :p Maybe it will ring true with some of you, and you'll feel a little better. ;)

    My school life was pretty bad in the first years. But once I hit highschool it's gotten better.

    My school life from 1-5th grade was the worst moments of my life. I was actually one of the most bullies people in school. I would avoid everyone because there was no point in talking to them. I never did anything to them yet they just kept going. I would usually get laughed at because of stupid things that I wont bring up. I did have some friends that understood how I felt and I actually talked to.
    6-7 In 6th it was eh I did talk to people more and got more friends and people thought I was athletic. Apparently at my school if you're athletic you're cool. But people still hated me and won't know why. Now to 7th grade :D It's the best year of my life so far. I made a ton of new friends and people started to like me more. I do have some irl issues atm but that doesn't matter right now :p Anyway, my school life....

    I won't say mine, just because I don't like focusing on the past, but the present. What's done is done, I just want to leave that dull part of my life go away. I am currently on anti-depressives, and everything is much better.

    My school life isn't really the most exciting, to me I just look at it as school and nothing else; pretty boring. I guess what would make it a longer story is if I added everything that revolved around school, which I suppose I'll do. Since the story itself will be long enough, I'm not going explain how my school system works.

    If anything gets touchy in the story, I apologize, I'm just going to type it out.

    Alright, here we go...


    Now let's get into how things were complicated...


    Not even going to do a tl;dr for this.

    If you care, you'll read it.

    Urmm... Starting over :mad:
    Anywaysss...

    Kinder-5th grade-
    These years were good, Imma just skip to 3rd grade... So there were these 2 girls that nade fun of me some. I didn't really care. I had other friends, I was one of those popular (not mean) girls. You know, the ones that are nice and funny but have friends and almost everyone likes. Accept those 2 girls anyways, which liked pretty much no one, but ya... A popular girl. Like w0t okay. Then comes 4th grade, one of those 2 girls left, so the other one was kinda stranded and no one liked her, I felt bad and we actually became good friends. No real problems there.

    Then Middle School
    I went to a different school where I knew no one. Some of the guys teased me (in kinda a playful way) and I became known as one of the... Urm, ish embarrassing actually :eek: ...But anyways, I had a good group of friends in about 1 week. I joined choir, and still am in choir, and met some of my best friends there. Guys kinda liked me since I was nice... In a way, athletic and one of the smarter ones... Middle school was fun actually.
    And then comes High School...:p
    I just started High School on August 12th actually, it's pretty good so far, bunch of new friends, great teachers and I'm in a few different extra things, trying out for Show Choir and Pop Choir and tomorrow we are doing a Suprano vs. Alto sing off. Had to write our own songs, and make up a dance in 90 minutes... Not that easy, my choir friends are awesome, and ya, school is great ;)

    Well. I hate school. But I say yolo and go anyway because 7.

    Elementary school didn't have any significance to me. I was an odd child. My greatest fear was rain... All I remember is breaking down with anxiety attacks... because of water. (And no, I'm no longer afrain of rain) cx

    Middle school was a big 'ole bag of doodoo. I was in honors and I began hanging around the popular kids, and it was all good. But... then I realized just how annoying middle school girls are (At least at my school). They all started fighting with each other, and I swear it was like a clip from Mean Girls at one point. I also developed that darn depression and a butt load of more anxiety fears. Needless to say, that didn't make it any better.

    My middle school teachers were dumb as rocks, too. I had two teachers my entire middle school experience who actually cared about teaching us. The others ate poptarts and wouldn't let us use the bathroom. Thanks, Mrs. Rishell. .___.

    And lastly- highschool. I'm a freshmen this year, so I don't have much to say about it yet. But so far so good. Most of my teachers are chill. I'm in honors and an AP class (college course) so they respect us 10x more than middle school teachers.

    And that's about it. Hue.
