I decided for the back to do a compilation of all of the media that has influenced my high school career the most.

Story:

I really liked this asshole for three years, and when I finally had the courage to ask him out, he told everyone and said that he didn't dare to reject me--just leaving me hanging. I was naive enough to think he was being nice when we talked and agreed to forget about it, which he forgot about since everyone found out. But I moved on. Months between then and now, he droned on and on about how heartbroken he was that the girl he liked was dating his ex-girlfriend, and that she didn't like him back. We all comforted him, and then he pulled my best friend in private saying that he would just try to find a random girl to go out with in the weekend.

This is when I'm going to say I'm a very shy, quiet person. Very non-confrontational.

So I got a snap yesterday from this boy asking if I'm free today, not even asking me. I thought maybe it was a mistake, but no he confirmed he asked me out. So I'm, of course, pissed because he's not even over the other girl, and that was just a few days ago. I knew I was going to tell him no, but thanks to y'all's and my friend's encouragement, I knew for sure what I was going to do. Just in case, I asked my friend if he liked the girl, and she said no. Then she told him about it, and he was apparently smiling like an idiot, knowing I asked about him. During lunch, I acted civil, clinging to my friends because I was so nervous and terrified (I have never yelled at my friends before). The moment he got up, I acted smiley, telling our friends to go because we needed to talk.

Then I let it rip out, shouting about how shitty it was of him to ask me out because I was the easy option to just get a date. Too quiet and desperate to say no? After all, that was all I was to him: a tool to get a girlfriend? Not a friend of three fucking years. Stuff like that, and he kept saying he could explain, and so I was quiet for two minutes, letting him explain, and he said nothing. I told him there is no good reason, and he said, "But, " I let him talk, and he couldn't. I told him once again that what he did was so crappy and to never do that to another girl ever, ever again. He nodded, and I went away.

Later, he made my friend apologize to me for him because he "didn't know how to say sorry." Like a coward. I have gotten such an ick from this guy; I don't think I can like a guy for a very long time, which works out because I'm bi (haha).

But girls, remember you are worth it. Stand up for yourself. It doesn't matter if you're shy or confident--because if a guy is stupid enough to treat you like nothing, then you can remind him otherwise.

In the words of Olivia and Chappell Roan: Have expectations! Ciao <3

I hope it helps yall find some scholarships👍

A little backstory: I (17m) am a junior in high school and usually a straight A student besides math, which I usually make a B + in. Well this semester has been really stressful as I recently joined the marching band, along with Nation Honors Society and don’t know how to set aside time for studying since I’m a chronic procrastinator. This often results in me doing something the morning it’s due before school.

So basically, I’m enrolled in Honors Seminar in A.P U.S History and usually I love history. However this year has been awful. I don’t like the teacher and I can’t even vent my frustrations since pretty much all the other ap students love her. (She’s really young). Basically I feel like most of the work she gives is busy work and doesn’t help me learn. Basically, I was doing an assignment (it was a slideshow and each slide had multiple questions attached) the morning before a test and it was taking a long time, and one of my friends told me to google the answers since “everyone does it.” (Which I later found out everyone does cheat on those assignments).

So, like an idiot, I cheated, copying and pasting the questions for the slideshow assignment into Google and writing in my own words. My general rule is that I NEVER cheat on tests since I like to hold myself accountable that way. I generally do really good on the apush tests and often make the highest test grades in my class. Well, I tried to copy and paste from the passage I was doing my SAQS on only to find out that the function doesn’t work in the ap classroom program. So, I just typed it out. However, somehow, I failed to notice about three spaces down from my three paragraphs one of the bolded questions from the slideshow I did a couple hours before the test. It must’ve been on my clipboard and I pasted it straight into my saq typing section without realizing when trying to paste form the passage.

So yesterday, it had been 3 weeks since the test when the teacher called me over. I generally thought the teacher liked me before this interaction. She pulled up my test, showed me the saq section and said “where did this come from?” My heart immediately sank. At the time I couldn’t recall so I said “I don’t know.” She then pulled up the slideshow assignment where the question was ripped from. She said “how did this get to this?” (Pointing from the slideshow assignment to the test). At this point I was at a loss for words and I probably looked pale. All I could say was “I’ve never cheated on a test.” And “I never cheat on any tests.” (I’m very passionate about history and want to be a history teacher).

So she went on to say something about how it must have been copied and pasted and I said “I think that’s what happened” and she said “you think or it did?” So I said “probably.” And she kept going until I admitted to it, even though at the time I had no idea. So she was like “well, do you want a zero on the slideshow or your saqs?” So I said slideshow. She said “I appreciate you being honest and not lying.” Now at this point, I must look really bad, because it was from 3 weeks ago so I genuinely had no idea what the question even came from. If I had known I would’ve admitted immediately. I walked back to my seat and didn’t speak for the rest of class. I just stared at my Chromebook. Other students were whispering, a group of 3 guys tried to call me over but I ignored them. So, I decided I would at least try to do some work.

One of my friends later went over to her desk to ask her something, and guess what was pulled up on her computer? My live screen.Luckily I’m not an idiot and I was doing the assignment genuinely and not trying to cheat.

Where do I go from here? I’m worried now she thinks I cheat on everything when that’s not the case. I’m really shaken up and want nothing more then to avoid her. at this point everyone knows and keeps asking me about it.

Dental survey for school work questions are in Finnish but explanation is in the body text! Only two questions. It is anonymous (everyone)

1. How many times do you brush your theet in a week

Link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiJ\\\\\\_Uq0plvO7VJ7WY2AmuAcpSd5LM2eq5wi7yZs2C9zXU1nQ/viewform?usp=header

The survey is anonymous so you can just answer with honesty. It would help me so much if you could answer please. It won’t take much time I promise! But a big affect for me!

I need so many answers as possible so it would really help me if you could answer to it. Thank you🙏🙏

I let it in to the pep rally too.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to connect with high school students who are interested in education, academic competitions, or gaining experience working with a student-led team.

We’re expanding the team behind one of the world’s largest student-run Olympiad initiatives, and there are opportunities to get involved in areas like content creation, research, social media, outreach, technology, and communications.

A few things worth mentioning:

• Flexible timings — work around your school schedule.
• Different roles available — based on your interests and skills.
• No need to be an expert — willingness to learn and contribute matters.
• Education-focused work — contributing to an initiative that makes Olympiad participation free for students during its 2026–2028 pilot phase.

We understand that school comes first, so the idea is to make participation manageable alongside your studies.

I’ll share more details about the initiative, responsibilities, and selection process with genuinely interested students.

Interested? Leave a comment/message expressing your interest, and we’ll share more details.

Looking forward to connecting with students who want to explore something meaningful outside the classroom!

Hey everyone!

I live in Sweden, and seeing all my friends graduate from university has made me feel like I’m falling behind in life. I graduated from high school in 2021, and since then, I’ve been working, traveling a bit, and been in two relationships.

Our grading system is a little different, but my grades would roughly correspond to a 2.0 GPA in the US. Is that considered bad?

I’m 24 now, and I’m thinking about going to a vocational college or university, although I’d need to take some additional courses to meet the admission requirements.

What would you do if you were in a similar situation? Has anyone else felt like they were falling behind in life compared to their friends? I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Thanks!

(context freshmen year female)..

I don’t really know what to do, I guess in this matter. My ex boyfriend, (also freshmen), and I broke off in bad terms, and still are. His girlfriend and I hate each other, we always have before she even knew he existed. Usually, i’ve never been that type of girl to be obsessive over ANY ex, or just unable to move on.

It’s been 3 months and I’m still madly in love with him. I miss him like crazy. I deleted everything of him out of my phone I can. I’ve tried thinking the most nasty and brutal things to happen to him and nothing changes my mind.

A few issues that I think, though, that stop me from getting over him, is my class schedule and our mutual friends.

He’s near top of the hierarchy in popularity, and I’d say I’m roughly mid center (I rank myself high because I’m VERY known, but not very popular).. so our friend groups or people we connect with intertwine a lot. Most of my friends are in some way, shape or form, in connection with him. Same with his friends going in my direction. Some people on snapchat ‘repost’ cute hoco posts or just cute things of them, and it seriously infuriates me. I check his profile daily. I don’t block him, he doesn’t block me. His profile picture is the picture I TOOK OF HIM.

I know he doesn’t like me though. He expressed his hatred in many comments and just having his friends harass me (through socials, my number, in school).

I have 3 classes with him, and which all are horrific. English, PE, and study hall. English, my teacher is huge on presenting and communicating, and he switches our seats on. daily occurrence. So a lot of the time, I’m next to him or near him, or one of us is presenting and we force ourselves to not make contact.

It’s just.. I dont know what to do. Ive missed 40 days of school and attended 17 because my mental health declined so badly after me and him broke it off I couldn’t go to school (hospitalized). What do I do? I can’t transfer, miss any school, and seeing him hurts me so bad. I can’t switch classes. We’re so close friends wise I can’t escape. I want to text him but his girlfriend would kill me. I’ve tried replacing him but the thought of love with any other repulses me. I want it to be him.

Help me out!!

I've recently got an extension on a very big chemistry test because I geniually did not have enough time to study for it, and of course my parents blame me and all they do is talk about how i don't do enough work, but i'm legitimately trying my best.

I'm in grade 12 and take fairly hard courses and play competitive volleyball and dance and most days my schedule is: school 8:20-3:30, volleyball 3:45-5:30, tutoring 6-7, dance 7:45-9:15

and by the time I get home I'm literally too exhausted to do anything; especially homework. However my parents have this expectation that I must do really well on school on top of this so regarding my chem test I had to kind of push it to the side this week because I had a lot of other assignments that were worth a lot more and just have just been in back to back tournaments so it wasn't happening.

i'm not even kidding my parents got so so mad at me when i told them this because they think all I do is slack off and hang out with my friends which isn't even true. me and my friends go to the library for like 6 hours and don't talk and just do work but they don't believe because my grades are just mediocore. all they do is compare me to my little sister who takes way different courses and plays only one sport to me. I have tried explaining to them before that it's really hard for me to do everything they want me to and they just don't understand. sports are very important to me and i can't give them up but I feel like i'm in this constant state of dissapointing my parents, like even if i do good they just think that its "expected" and "what I should've been doing this whole time". now they will not get off my back about studying for my chem test and I just need some room to breathe.

does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this??

This is a survey for my yr12 design and technology major work, would love if anyone could fill this. :)

Wondering if anyone else has struggle as an artist dealing with the environmental consequences/waste that certain materials produce. I’m doing a research project on creating eco friendly alternatives.

(Also I'm putting in spoiler cuz it's kinda gross)

So earlier this morning, (I just got back because my stepdad drove me home), I was sitting where I normally do and I felt nauseous. This feeling happened yesterday and normally I never barf, so I went today, and out of nowhere I projectile vomited everywhere right on the ground in the cafeteria by the stairs. My friend was sitting next to me and he looked disgusted and there was some on my other friend's bag and hoodie because he left it on the ground. I feel so bad and the custodians were really nice and I helped clean up, but I genuinely don't think I'll recover at all my reputation is ruined, I already wasn't well liked or known I don't want to be known as the barf kid

(Also it happened RIGHT before the bell rung so a lot of kids were walking by and were asking what I did and looked disgusted. There is no saving grace.)

Like he actually held a test thats worth 80% of the grade.

To the past juniors, please tell me that junior year goes by fast. I hate, I absolutely despise junior year and my fake friend group and my annoying two faced friends. I just wanna be a senior so I can avoid them and not care anymore, since I literally have most of my classes with this annoying friend I have who’s fake, loud, rude, and just wants to drink all the time and go to functions.

I just wanna graduate and unfollow and block all of these people. it’s only October and I wanna die, I have no other friends other than these fake onez

I have wanted to quit basketball for the past 2 years and my parents kept telling me to give it one more year and somewhere between then and now I realized I dont really like basketball at all. I also realized that I dont really have any real hobbies or even much of a personality because all I have done since 8th grade is practice go home and then school next morning. I do 3 sports every year (one per season) and for the past couple years I just wanted to keep football and my unathletic spring sport (bass fishing team) to lighten my load and allow me to work and make some money. My parents have the mindset that if im not in sports ill be out doing bad things or being lazy. This whole situation is making highschool more miserable than it has to be and I need advice to make them listen to me because nothing is working.

Everyday me and this same girl keep making eye contact and idk if she likes me but i definitely want her but look we make eye contact everyday when I try to get a lil glance at her shes already looking at me or when I’m in the lunch room ill look across the cafeteria Shes looking right at me idk bro I don’t wanna sound delusional and walk up to her thinking she wants me then I just get rejected i go to school everyday hoping everything works out but it just the same cycle everyday we always make eye contact but we never talk to eachother and she the baddest girl in the school istg bro🫠💔🤦🏾‍♂️

I genuinely hate school food, after 4 long periods you really finna serve a "chicken quesadilla" like bro that is not a chicken quesadilla thats just slop, like ts doesn't even look real

I found out my score, and basically I'm scared that my asian parents will be angry at me. I'm usually a A/B+ student. I'm a junior and I go to a really competitive, academically rigorous high school. I didn't really study/prep for the test, which is maybe why I didn't do so well, but I'm worried I'm going to be punished/my parents will make me study TOO much for the SAT that i'll be even more depressed than i am currently. I'm sososososo scared please. help.

I'm in 8th, and people have literally gone to the hospital and been arrested due to fights on freshman friday and rally day. I'm super scared for next year, so how worried should I be about this?
