In addition to my post, if the weather didn't cooperate, that usually meant bad luck for my school years. For example, an overabundance of rain made things seem more intense.

or a long depressing winter February and March are the two months that I hate the most. July is my Favorite month. Speaking of which, January really dragged my senior year of high school. Plus all my peers were acting up and I was ready to get out, as mentioned before.

The same thing happened to me when I was a senior in high school and most of the kids were acting up and being immature.

For me, each year got better. I cried in Kindergarten because I didn't want to go. Naturally, kids made fun of me for that one! But as time went, things got better. I'd say by 9th or 10th grade, I had found my place, and got to enjoying things better. By senior year, I was actually kinda sad to be leaving! It was weird too, to be shaking hands at graduation with guys who used to tease and make fun of me when we were little. Guess some people at my school matured more than other stories on here?
College was much better though, and made me realise that I actually WAS glad to leave high school. haha!
Anyone who tells you High School should be the best years of your life.. well, if those are supposed to be the best then I suppose you don't have much to live for in the future!

That was is so true. And other worst thing that happened when I was 5th grade, we were eating lunch and the lunch lady had came to talk with us because of someone's misbehavior and most of the kids started laughing and she had gotten upset and started to cry and slammed the door. Then the whole 5 and 6th grades got punished by having a recess taken away and write an apology to her even the good kids. I don't think that was fair at all that the good kids got punished along with the bad ones.

well i'd have to say the only grades that were bad for me, were 1st grade, the teacher hated me for some reason, 6th and 7th grades i diddnt even complete because 8th grade i was homeschooled. middle school was SO miserable for me, i was bullied around almost everyday, yet i still did that post on here of the demo of my middle school, geuss it was good and bad to see it go, all those bad memories for me. and the last not so good school year for me was 9th grade (freshmen) in high school, though towards the end of my 9th grade year i started making friends and knowing where i fit in. 10th grade was the opposite though, i LOVED my 10th grade year, i had alot of friends and the school was also going through construction, there was total chaos and kids got away with so much, people skipping and smoking in the bathrooms. 11th and 12th grades was when the school's construction was complete and we also got practicly a whole new and MUCH stricter admin. 11th and 12th grades werent too bad for me, just really slow and boring.

Then the whole 5 and 6th grades got punished by having a recess taken away and write an apology to her even the good kids. I don't think that was fair at all that the good kids got punished along with the bad ones. Something similar happened when I was in 6th grade in the lunchroom. We had this 'traffic light' that would regulate the room's noise level. for instance: GREEN meant it wasn't loud, YELLOW meant a rise in the noise level, and RED meant it got too loud. Get this, if the light stayed red for more than 5 sec. a siren would go off that sounded like "weiner, weiner, weiner!" If we set the siren off, that meant we LOST RECESS, and we had to sit at our homeroom desks with our heads down for the duration of the recess period. Not fun at all. After recess, the principal would call us into the gym every time the light went off and gave us a lecture. The advantage of that was we missed class. One time, we had a substitute teacher on lunch duty and we set off the traffic light 23 times in a row! Everyone seemed to think it was a joke, but when the principal got wind of it, she was not happy at all. As a result, we had no recess for about a week. As I recall, 6th grade was one of those years where everyone got thingyy and felt they could get away with everything...not quite as bad as my senior year, since I was at the private school then. Middle school was OK, but they really didn't need to treat us like babies

8th grade sucked as I was in a new school. Every year in high school got progressively better though. Yeah there were bullies - unfortunately they're a fact of life at every school in the country. But life goes on and I prefer to remember the good things that happened instead of dwelling on how "unfairly" I may have supposedly been treated by what was really a small group of people. There's too much to focus on day to day to go around feeling sorry for yourself. I don't hold grudges against anyone and I look forward to my 10 year reunion next year.
Anyway, I guess I didn't have that bad of an experience because here I am getting ready to enter my 5th year teaching high school!

Middle school was OK, but they really didn't need to treat us like babies I agree with that. Before I went the middle school in the 6th grade my principal made us sit in assigned seats for the whole year and that was terrible in abc order even we didn't do anything she wouldn't let us sit where we want. She treated us like little kids.

School year, try this year period. This has been the Worst year yet with me.
Cat dieing. Ended up in the Hospital for the first time in my life (took over 3 months to recover). Lawyer now saying there is probably no case Allot of friends of mine are also having the worst year Many Deaths this year (Family members of friends I know). Almost impossible to find a job. Lack of money.
I can say this has yet been the worst year I've ever encountered. And don't want to look back and remember this year once it's gone. Next year will probably be worse than this year...

I can agree with you there too adam, this year has been quite sh**y for me as well, though not as bad as what your going through so i shouldnt really complain that much. me and my girlfriend broke up a little over a month ago after 2 and a half years being together and im still really upset over it, havent even spoken to her since either, its like she wants no contact anymore. i lost my job back in april and have been unemployed since, though i have done some side jobs with people i know, but im still broke. only good thing comming up is i will be going back to school to become an auto mechanic next month, i still need to find a steady job though.
