Assuming you went to a four-year school, which year was your best? Maybe all of high school was wonderful, or the entire experience completely sucked. Either way, please vote in my poll! :)

My best year of high school was my sophomore year. I participated in a lot of clubs and went on some really fun field trips with some of those clubs. Plus, it was my peak of academic achievement.

My high school experience sucked... but sophomore year was still the best out of the four.

Freshman year was the worst. I was constantly picked on. Senior year, pretty much everyone left me alone.

I would have to say my junior year. I was small for my age from 7th to 10th grade I think that and the fact I was in special education made me a target for bullies. The summer of 1985 I hit a growth spurt I put on muscle and weight along with height. People were amazed to how big and goonish I had become. :twisted: Believe it or not some of the less intelligent bullies still thought they could mess with me even though I was in some cases twice their size. That in itself proved to me that they felt that I was such a piece of garbage that they could handle me without any fear of retalation. I proved them wrong by beating the hell out of one of them infront of the class I was in. My gym teacher told me pick one of the bullies I knew I could beat up with ease and beat him up infront of a lot of people. He was right, it worked the other students cheered me on and laughed at the bully when I beat the hell out of him. I guess the crowd liked watching a bully get his come uppins. :wink: It was also the year I got out of special education. When people saw me in the same classes as they were they began treating me better. :D

None of the above. I enjoyed Prep School and University, but Secondary School was not my favourite time.

Senior year. First of all I didn't even have to come to school the last semester because I had all my credits. Second of all I was at my weightlifting prime so I got more respect in the weightroom than I had even in the past 2 years. I also didn't have a math class.

I wish I would have had the option to take my credits in advance so I could of skipped my last semester of high school... they had a credit limit for each year :x

Whatever the last year is on that list.

The final year was the best year for me, it meant I could get the hell out.

The second semester of senior year as I met some interesting people, became closer to some existing friends, and could just sleep through my boring classes without worry.

Sophomore or Junior. I had different friends both of those years (I changed schools) and they were both good, in different ways. Senior year was my worst. I missed most of it because I was very sick.

I'd say senior year...left school early everyday because I didn't have to take many classes and had an awesome study hall with a bunch of my friends and a teacher that didn't care what we did...we would bring in PS3 and do a whole bunch of sh*t.

Also everything was very laid back in the spring and the last day of school is one I'll remember for a long time...still wish I went to the senior ball...the only thing that sucked for me in high school was that I wasn't very liked...I got picked on a lot, senior year though no one was that mean to me, I just wish people wanted to associate with me and I was liked, I was always friendly to everyone...I never got why I couldn't be liked with a friends that were girls.

Freshman to Junior was near hell for me (Freshman + Sophmore = dealth with bullies, Junior = suffered severe depression on the side of other things). Senior was okay or so/so. That is why I lost interest in trying in school, due to the fact in high school, I had a hard experience and I lost track on how to study. I also struggled during a few semesters at community college (due to the fact that I lost track in high school) and I finally got back up barely getting a 3.0 (after screwing up my high school years and got tossed into community college without a strong education in high school), but I need to get a much, much higher GPA for my 4 year university transferrable credits (I need to get at least a 3.7 or even a 4.0 GPA, who knows). The difference between high school was is 1/2, I was a target of bullies for inappropriate behavior. The other 1/2, I suffered severe depression. But now I have much better social skills, I can get along with my peers and I have now more self-confidence as a person compare to high school. High school was literally hell on earth for me, what can I say.

I'm sorry. I assumed everybody would know. Let me break it down for you:

Freshman Year = 1st year
Sophomore Year = 2nd year
Junior Year = 3rd year
Senior Year = 4th year

Ah, thanks. We don't have those sorts of names in Australia - we just number the years from 1-12 [12 being the last].
