how was your school life

Post Reply New Topic

Aside from the lack of challenge in it, I generally enjoy school. I like to learn new things and think of trivia that I can connect to the lesson. Sometimes, though, I would prefer not to--again, there isn't any challenge for me in English, Social Studies, and Science, and the people in my class either don't share my interests, or they think I'm arrogant and abnormal (one kid went up front and said that they wanted a normal girl in their class---what reason is there for a normal girl?). Since I get the challenge I need from the internet, I thoroughly enjoy school.

I didn't like school, nor did I get a high school diploma. I hated school so much that I dropped out and got a GED. Not having privacy every weekday for several hours was probably the most exhausting aspect of it. Most of the other students were awful to be around, as well.

pretty poor till college

School through the 12th grade wasn't to bad. I went to very small schools abroad where there wasn't any bullying and most of the kids were smart.

But I really hated college. I made the mistake of leaving art school to go to a fancy liberal arts college. There was so much pretension and other BS that I couldn't stand it. I took Comparative Literature and found I had no interest in abstruse critical theories or deconstructing great works of literature until they were beaten to a pulp. I was always exhausted because I have CFS and always bedraggled. I had to force myself to try to do my work, which I didn't care about, and I felt like a soggy messy alien in a strange land. I graduated, and even did well, but I'm not even pleased that I got my diploma because it hasn't gotten me anything in real life. I'm only glad that I don't have to go back.

I was never very good in school as at that time I was not diagnosed so, I realistically missed out on many potential opportunities which, would have brighten my future.These day, I've come to understand that learning throughout life is what counts not just at a singular point in time..Still, often I've been seen as stupid..
