I'd like the academic part A LOT more if I could self study some of my classes. I could get twice or three times as much done in the period. But no, kids waste time acting like idiots, asking stupid questions, and complaining that the class is too hard/they're failing (when they don't pay attn or do the hw).

I guess I happen to be in the minority when I say that I actually enjoy high school. I *am* ready for summer (28 days left!), but I do enjoy school nonetheless.

I'm probably going to miss high school. Or at least high school sports.

High school is good for socializing, getting to know other people, and participating in some interesting activities. It is not so good for learning--yet. I hope that it will improve when I'm a junior next year and I'm allowed to take AP classes. That being said, even if it's kind of a waste of time sometimes, I still like high school. I would get bored, lonely, and depressed if I stayed home all day and studied or anything like that, even if I might get more work done.

I am definately sick of high school. I attend an all girls school and there is just so much drama. I'm really hoping everyone is more mature in college. Unfortunately for me, I'm only a junior this year, so I still have one year left.

I like my classes, but I don't want any more homework. Busywork is so two years ago.

Also, taking AP Calc practice tests every single day. Uggggggh.

I'm tired of everything that is high school~~~

Tired of people's stupidity.
Tired of studying just for the sake of testing.
Tired of doing everything for the sake of college.
Tired of doing everything just to fit in.
Tired of life as an idiotic teenager, generally speaking.

High School is way over rated, and college, I don't know about college.
I really want to join Peace Corp, Army, and other craps for like two years then go back to school to study~~~

Lucky for me, only a month remaining, and I only need to care about AP tests~~~~

I'm tired of high school since grade 10. Especially of teachers that give out grades as they please and even more by the general stupidity that seems to surround high school.

I'm tired of it too, and I've still got two more years. I'm disgruntled that next year I'll keep 3 teachers from my current schedule - one who is just plain bad at teaching, one who doesn't particularly like her subject, and one who moved from an adjacent subject because the former teacher left. UNGH they are incompetent. I'm so glad to not have all but one of my other teachers next year.

The students are worse. They are the ones who make the experience intolerable.

Studying for the sake of tests means a) that we get to do fun stuff after the APs are over but b) most people just want to party, not learn some tangent but more fun subject.

Add all that typical stuff to my personality, and I just can't wait for college. It may or may not be better, but it can't be like this.

High School absolutely sucks. There is little justification that can bring me to alter this conclusion. Even the social stuff and interesting clubs/activities/experiences don't even seem worth it anymore. I enjoy learning. Unfortunately that doesn't happen too often around here. I've tried to make the best of my situations, but my efforts are always slapped in the face with "well you still go to [name of my school], nothing will change." I'm sure things would be different if I went to another school, but as a junior it's really too late to switch now, and I'm not sure if any damage can be repaired. But for now, I can't look on the bright side, since it is nonexistent. I'm ready to go. Right now.

I'm sure things will get better in college. I dearly hope that they will...

I was tired of it last year, but this year I'm enjoying it and actually looking forward to next year. I'm pretty glad my spring break is in one day, though.

With classes, senioritis hasn't really hit hard til this quarter.

With student council, I haven't really cared about improving the school since homecoming.
