View Full Version : The Best and Worst school years of your life? howierules86 12-07-2007, 04:19 PM Here's mine: BEST: 1994-95 (2nd grade) WORST: 1998-99 (6th grade) How about you? EmoJoe 12-07-2007, 04:26 PM Best: 5th grade (2002-2003). it was just really fun...i had a lot of fun with my friends that year. it was still all childhood-like but i wasn't TOO little, and i dunno, i just have really fond memories from that year. well to be honest Kindergarten-5th grade were all awesome, lol...but i think second place would be this year (10th grade), i've made a lot of new friends and i've really been starting to find myself and learn a lot about who i really am. Worst: ugh...anything in middle school. 7th grade (04-05) was pretty awful because i was getting over a tragic time in my life where i stopped talking to half of my family due to a nasty feud over a horrible death...plus, that was the year i started to alienate myself from people. but i think 8th grade (05-06) probably takes the cake for the worst. i hated everyone in my school, i had no friends, and all of the people i had talked to in previous years had turned into complete jerks who just ignored me. things didn't really improve until this year, either. PZelda 12-07-2007, 04:41 PM Wow, I'm not sure. I really liked school up to kindergarten (1987 - 1992). I started kindergarten in 1991, but skipped to the second grade the next year. After that, it wasn't very memorable, til I got to junior high. I loooooved seventh and eighth grades (1997-98 and 1998-99, respectively). Also loved sophomore and junior years of high school (2000-01 and 2001-02). Towards the end of my junior year in '02, I got to go to Washington DC on a school trip... great way to finish out the year! I had a blast there. :D I graduated from high school in 2003 and to be honest, I was extremely glad when that year was over. I didn't hate senior year or anything, but it was an extremely lame, drama-filled year. I was asked to be the senior class speaker at my graduation and I accepted, and this one gal who claimed to do ~*everything*~ for the school, flipped a **** when she found out I'd agreed to do it. Needless to say, I haven't seen that psycho since our graduation day. :crazy: Worst year... hmm. I dunno. Second - sixth grades weren't memorable, but they weren't awful, either. In this case, it's definitely freshman year in high school (1999-2000). Ye gods, I HATED freshman year. Three WEEKS into that school year, my cousin passed away suddenly, and I took her passing pretty hard. The one semester I was in high school in 1999 SUCKED. The next semester in 2000 was a little better, but eh. Not a year I remember particularly fondly. AB 12-07-2007, 06:03 PM Best Years = 1973 - 1975, the last 3 years of high school were pretty great, with dating & ballgames & dances. Worst Years = 1962 & 1963, We moved several times while I was in 1st & 2nd grade so I kept changing schools. TheHappyBurgerMeister 12-07-2007, 06:14 PM Best: 6th grade ('95-'96) Worst: 7th grade ('96-'97) It's amazing how my best and worst years where back to back! Buffyboy323 12-07-2007, 06:19 PM The best were 7th-9th grades (2001-2004). I had such a blast going to school. 7th grade was the beginning of Junior High for me, so it was a new chapter in my life. I met a lot of new friends and loved my new school. 8th grade was even better. I made different friends from the previous year. I also started to really experiment with my looks, my music, and well, other stuff. LOL. It was also the first time I made the National Honor Society. 9th grade was really fun. Dating, parties, etc. I branched out from the people I hung out with the previous year, and did my own thing for a while. I reconnected with old friends, and became closer then ever with them. I changed and grew up the most during these years. The absolute worst was 10th grade (2004-2005). I went to a new school (which was huge). I was away from my friends. I hardly knew anyone there. I got comfortable after a weeks though. I started making friends (some of whom I'm still close with). I was always an excellent student, then all of a sudden, my grades were slipping. I got really stressed out. Three people in my family died within a few months. I started doing things I knew were wrong. I didn't care about anything anymore. I felt like all these bad things just kept happening to me, one after the other. I'm a fairly private person, so the only way I knew to deal with everything was to push away the people I cared about the most. I hate to use the word, but it was the closest to any kind of depression I've ever been through. I pretty much hated everything about 10th grade. tv star collector 12-07-2007, 07:06 PM Worst: 1st grade (1952-1954). First, I had to change schools and, because I was absent a lot (due to illnesses), it was the only grade that I ever failed. Also: I really liked the teacher at the first school but hated the teacher at the second one (I think everyone did). Best: senior year (1965-1966). The highlight: a girl named Karol who I became quite enchanted with. It turned out to be one of those unrequited love things, but the pursuit of the girl I couldn't have made it a memorable year in my life. She is married to someone else now. Me, I never married. End of story. Mr. Television 12-07-2007, 08:26 PM best: 1st grade ( 1972-1973) Worst: 7th grade ( 1978-1979) Hollow 12-08-2007, 02:27 AM luv James 12-08-2007, 03:12 AM Best: Ninth grade (1986-87). I had a lot of friends and was very popular in school. The people I met in junior high were the most memorable friends I had. The only years in my city's elementary school system were fifth and sixth grade (1982-84) since up until then I went to a different school in a different city, so because my years in elementary were so few, making friends came in junior high. Worst: High school (1987-90). My ninth grade momentum was broken! I was so comfortable at Wilson Junior High School! Why the change??? The friends I had in junior high seemed to leave me for the new people who came from the other junior high schools in town. People changed, and I felt so left out (and still do today! :mad: ). I even dreamed of spending my tenth grade year at my junior high school, thinking I would fit in better. Chelsea 12-08-2007, 03:37 AM Good years, bad years - 2nd grade (93-94) was easily the worst, while I'd say senior year (2003-04) was probably the best. Come to think of it, I probably missed most of September 2003, and I tended to miss the first hour or two of classes every now and then the rest of the school year....no wonder I liked it so much - I wasn't there to hate it. :lol:. Nah, senior year was great. friendsfan77 12-08-2007, 03:40 AM I hated freshman year of high school (2001-02). It was back in 2001, and I had finally left 8th grade (I was held back a year). I was still living in Indiana at the time. Right before it was over, my mom came and told me that we were moving back to Georgia after six years. I was escatic at the idea of being really close to my family again. Though I was terribly upset at the thought of leaving all the friends I had met back in Indy. I missed going to year-round school and the days off we'd have in the middle of the year. I missed the White Christmases. And to top it off, we weren't moving back to my old neighborhood. It was too expensive to live there, taxes were higher. The old apartment complex I lived in had since been demolished, the neighbors there had moved to other places, and the new apartments in their place cost upwards of $1,275 a month. Sadly, there was no chance of coming across any kids I knew way back in elementary school. So we moved further north out of the city of Atlanta. So in my new neighborhood of Duluth, GA, I knew no one. Everything was so strange. I wasn't used to anything. I hated the thought of getting up at 5:30 in the morning to get ready. I hated the fact that my locker really had no use. My classes were too far apart. Then in Spring 2002 one of my aunts passed away and it was a horrible time for my family. Some of the kids liked me, though I had a lot of trouble fitting in at first. And being a closeted gay teen, oh what fun. :rolleyes: My grades slipped a bit because my mind was almost never on homework and I got lazy again. I skipped school a few times because I just couldn't take it. Though I was able to graduate by 2005. Things got better for the most part afterwards. I met more friends and acquaintances and began to have fun. But I hated freshman year with a passion. I still had some things I was going through, but I'd definitely say that senior year (2004-05) was much better. Number 9 Dream 12-08-2007, 01:35 PM Best: A toss-up between 10th (1998) 11th (1999), 12th (2000), or my second year in community college (2002-2003). 10th because it reminds me of all the important milestones in my life--first real boyfriend, meeting great people, staying out all night after school and so forth. 11th was awesome because I became close to my best friend and also went on the junior trip to Washington, DC. Senior year was just great because it was a high time in my life---forming friendships with people I'm still close to now, prom, graduation, etc. Plus, I have a lot of funny memories with teachers during both junior and senior year. I loved my second year at community college because it was when my friends from high school started going to that school (including my current best friend) and it was great to take classes with them, go out to eat during breaks, cause trouble, lol. I had a lot of fun times that year and it sucked when they all left me *sniffle* lol. Worst: Probably 9th grade (1996) I'd just moved to the district and had NO friends and got made fun of a lot. Plus, I got really sick that year and had to miss a lot of school. Penny Lane 12-08-2007, 01:58 PM Best-grades 5-6 Worst- 7-8 dawsongirl 12-08-2007, 08:56 PM Best: 7th (92-93) and 9th (94-95) Worst: everything else, excluding K-6th, because I don't remember much of elementary. I seemed to be more popular then though, so it was probably ok. I loved Fun Night. I was the Queen of the Cake Walk. *Pleasant Tomorrow* 12-08-2007, 09:25 PM Best: 5th grade Worst: 8th grade Corolla 12-08-2007, 10:14 PM Best: Elementary... I loved grades 4-6 in particular. Worst: Anything over that. >.< Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 12:31 AM Second Grade (1983-1984) was a pretty bad time for me because I had a great deal of difficulty, fell behind and couldn't catch up. In the end my parents asked for me to be held back. We moved the following school year and at my new school I would never tell anyone that I had been held back a grade. I felt so ashamed. It wasn't until high school that I could admit the truth to people. This is the first time I've ever mentioned failing here at SO. Infact, I've always said here at Sitcoms Online that I graduated from high school in 1994 when I really graduated in 1995 as a result of having been held back in second grade. Sixth Grade (1988-1989) was probably my best year of school. My teachers that year really went out of their way to show me what I was really capable of. Of what I really could achieve if I just gave the best effort that I could. I ended up making the honor role three of the four grading quarters and will always hold a special place in my heart for those three wonderful teachers who changed my life. :) catlover79 12-09-2007, 12:50 AM Worst school years - toss-up between 3rd grade (1988-89) and 9th grade (1994-95). Third grade is when I went through a major growth spurt, I had to get glasses and my mom had my hair (which was getting pretty long) all chopped off. I looked like a four-eyed Big Bird - and a boy. I became the laughingstock of the third grade. Plus I was quiet and shy and read a lot - so I was a nerd as well. I shed a LOT of tears that year. Ninth grade, when I started high school, was a good year in some respects - I made a couple of friends that I still have to this day. Plus I was in classes and activities with people in all grades, so there was a lot of variety. But a girl I became friends with turned on me for no apparent reason, and spread all sorts of vicious lies about me - and hated me, even though I didn't do anything wrong to her. At the same time my grandma got cancer and died before the school year was out. I was just beside myself. That was not a good time at all. :( Best - tossup between 8th grade (1993-94) and 11th grade (1996-97). Those were my best years gradewise and I was starting to come out of my shell a bit. I can't believe that my 10-year reunion is coming up. I've grown and changed so much since I was in school. I don't take things nearly as personally now as I did back then. I'm still a four-eyed Big Bird, but since I became a teenager and then an adult, NO ONE touches my hair. It's fairly long now, even though my parents still like it better short. :lol: MrCleveland 12-09-2007, 01:08 AM Best-5th Grade Worst-8th Grade Why? 5th Grade started off okay, but Febuary sucked for awhile. It wasn't until March that it got better. I would say 7th Grade, but I had a good year outside of school so 8th Grade because I was going to be Home-Schooled and things weren't going well. I still got teased so that was the worst school year as well as one of the worst years I've ever had.

Honestly, I wish they would hold more kids back. I see so many kids who read or do math way below their grade level, and yet they just get chucked into special ed (sometimes...some don't even get that) and passed along without knowing a damn thing. Sometimes a kid needs another year. I'd rather they be held back until they get it so when they get to the upper grades, they can have a better chance at success. Never be ashamed, because it seems to me that you came out just fine. *screw no child left behind* :bash: Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 01:26 AM I'm 5'8", skinny and wear glasses. :lol: But I'm OK with that now! That's good. As far as I'm concerened, you and Mona are probably the best looking women here. I know she often states that she isn't totally happy with the way she looks, but I think that she is really pretty. Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 01:29 AM Honestly, I wish they would hold more kids back.

Infact, I'm gald that I was so that I would not have had trouble in the upper grades like you mentioned. As a kid though, I was worried that the other kids would look down on me. dawsongirl 12-09-2007, 01:30 AM I can't believe that my 10-year reunion is coming up.

Understandable. Kids can be sooo cruel. I seen some first hand working with them. ohno: Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 01:32 AM I've become a little less shy in the 10 years since (may not know it by watching me, but I talk a little more), but I take things waaaaay more seriously now than I ever did. :lol: I would like to kick the ass of that kid I loved so much in JH/HS though...look at me now, dork! lol I shouldn't really say that...not like I'm very successful at anything, but I know how to do my hair a little better, and I wear more makeup. Have you ever posted your picture here, Cathy. I have know idea what you look like. catlover79 12-09-2007, 01:33 AM Honestly, I wish they would hold more kids back.

Never be ashamed, because it seems to me that you came out just fine. *screw no child left behind* :bash: I second that. I too was held back but that was in kindergarten. I was about 3 weeks away from turning 5 when I started kindergarten in 1984. According to my mom, I was a bit of a hyper kid and didn't always pay attention in the classroom. I wasn't a troublemaker or anything like that, but I guess the teacher thought it would be better if I stayed behind. So that's what happened. Had I gone on to first grade in 1985 I would've graduated high school in 1997 instead of 1998. It was the right decision, and things turned out OK at the end. So I have no complaints! Some kids need that extra time, and doesn't mean they're stupid at all. catlover79 12-09-2007, 01:34 AM That's good. As far as I'm concerened, you and Mona are probably the best looking women here. I know she often states that she isn't totally happy with the way she looks, but I think that she is really pretty. :blush: Thank you, Mike. dawsongirl 12-09-2007, 01:36 AM Have you ever posted your picture here, Cathy. I have know idea what you look like. Not for a long time. I can PM you one if you want. dawsongirl 12-09-2007, 01:39 AM I second that. I too was held back but that was in kindergarten. I was about 3 weeks away from turning 5 when I started kindergarten in 1984. According to my mom, I was a bit of a hyper kid and didn't always pay attention in the classroom. I wasn't a troublemaker or anything like that, but I guess the teacher thought it would be better if I stayed behind. So that's what happened.

Some kids need that extra time, and doesn't mean they're stupid at all. We have a little girl like that in 1st grade. She probably should be in K, but her birthday was like, 2 days before the cutoff, so she's in 1st. I don't know how she does grade-wise, but I could tell she sometimes, I don't know, spaced off or something. Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 01:39 AM I second that.

Some kids need that extra time, and doesn't mean they're stupid at all. My kindergarden teacher actually wanted to hold me back then decided against it. She told my parents that she was worried that I would have trouble a few years down the line. Which, of course, I did. One of the big probelms that I had was that by the time I turned 5 I sill could not really talk. Than when I did finally begin to talk I had a stutter, so I avoided talking. It wasn't until about third grade that I got rid of the stutter. Nighthawk76 12-09-2007, 01:40 AM Not for a long time. I can PM you one if you want. Sure, that would be cool. :) catlover79 12-09-2007, 01:42 AM Not for a long time. I can PM you one if you want. Could you PM it to me too, Cathy?? Thanks! :D Nighthawk76 12-11-2007, 01:59 AM Monika, I know what it's like to be teased. I wore glasses throughout school and was teased endlessly. :( I know why I'm not on that list. :( Oh well. Worst school years - First grade (1985-1987) and fifth grade (1990-1991). I spent two years in first grade. I had a horrible fifth grade teacher. To make matters worse I was ugly. I had a terrible, short hair cut that made me look like a boy. I hated it. THe other kids hated it too. They told me how ugly I looked. Best school years - 8th & 10th grade. Not many people enjoy middle school. I did esp. 8th grade. Tenth grade was my favorite. :) I had a great Earth Science teacher in 8th grade and a wonderful English II teacher in 10th grade. Come on Jenny, you're not ugly. PZelda 12-11-2007, 10:48 AM I second that. I too was held back but that was in kindergarten.

Some kids need that extra time, and doesn't mean they're stupid at all. Something like that happened to me when I was a kid. I started preschool at two years old in 1987, and so I would have gone on to kindergarten when I was 5, in 1990. But that didn't happen - my parents and teachers thought it would be best for me to stay in preschool another year. So I started kindergarten at 6, in 1991. I was one of the oldest kids in my class - I was less than three months away from turning 7 when the 1991-92 school year wrapped up. I also say I skipped up to the second grade the next year... but what really happened was, I started first grade for the 1992-93 school year, about three to four weeks after the school year had began (my parents were going through some SERIOUS drama with the board of education in court, and it had to do with me and letting me go to school here... so they didn't allow me to go to school for a while after the school year had gotten underway). I'm thinking I was finally able to go back to school sometime around the second half of September in 1992... I didn't go to the same school I had gone to for kindergarten... this was a different one. I was really in the first grade for about 8 weeks in 1992... my parents lost the battle in court to let me be allowed to go to school here, and so what happened was, I had to move to this REALLY dinky, crappy little town where the state, ahem, deaf school was located. (har har har har) This all went down sometime the weekend of Thanksgiving in 1992... we got to this dinky little town on November 30th and I started at my new school as a second-grade student on December 1st. So, you see, this is why I just say I ended up skipping the first grade. :lol: I DID skip first grade, but not ALTOGETHER. And I also attended THREE schools within a six-month period of time in 1992. :faint: And the thing is, I have a first-grade school picture. But no second-grade school picture. The next one I have after that is third grade. :lol: So, I SHOULD have graduated from high school in 2004, but graduated in 2003 instead (at the age of 17), even after being held back a year. :crazy: I'm just glad I did graduate a year early. Enough school for me. :lol: Nighthawk76 12-11-2007, 08:53 PM I agree, Monika, you are beautiful inside and out... Mona, she has some of the most strking features, so, I also agree; she is a very very beautiful woman with a beautiful soul.:) I could not agree more with you, Tara. They are both beautiful on the inside and outside. catlover79 12-11-2007, 10:07 PM I could not agree more with you, Tara. They are both beautiful on the inside and outside. Awwww...thanks guys. :blush: catlover79 12-11-2007, 10:25 PM Is Gregory Sierra single??? I know this is off topic, but I am just curious. I am sure if he knew that one of his biggest fan was a lovely woman, I am sure he would be very very flattered!:) :rofl: I have no idea!

Cathy, you're gorgeous, too! :D Women born in 1979 are known to be beautiful. :lol: BensonFan 12-11-2007, 10:45 PM Funny that my best and worst school years were also back-to-back. Best: 6th grade (1982-1983)...I had great teachers, had a lot of fun with my classmates, we read some fun stories in Literature class, went on some cool field trips and for the first time I was quite popular with the boys. I had a few of them "fighting over me." :lol: Worst: 7th grade (1983-1984)..go figure how everything that went so right one year could be so :censored: the next. What happened was that we got new kids in my school from another school in the same town that only went up to 6th grade. A couple of them were jerks, and got between a couple of close friends and me. These new kids picked on me, and got my former close friends against me for a while. Plus I couldn't stand my teachers that year. My grades slipped a little from where they normally would be. I was absolutely miserable and always found myself daydreaming about the year before. ohno: I will say, though, that to their credit, a couple of those kids actually apologized to me our first year in high school. That really meant a lot to me. But it just goes to show you what peer pressure can do to a person. I'll tell you, sometimes I miss my school days but when I do, I think about the good times. Not 7th grade. :D MaydayMalonesGirl 12-11-2007, 11:33 PM Best - 4th grade. I had the coolest teacher ever and I was a part of a tight group of friends. Good times. Worst - My entire middle school and high school experiences have been completely horrible. I've been waiting for the year where things turn around but they've instead just gotten worse and worse. Right now I'm a junior and I'm more miserable now then I've ever been. I know, I'm just a beam of sunshine. I wish I were in fourth grade again. Nighthawk76 12-12-2007, 01:00 AM Cathy, you're gorgeous, too! :D Women born in 1979 are known to be beautiful. :lol: Isn't she though? As I told Cathy herself in a PM, considering how hard on herself she tends to be, I was really surprised how pretty she really is. And she is certainly intelligent and a very likable person. I guess not everyone always sees how special they truly are. Karen* 12-12-2007, 01:29 AM BEST: Probably 6th grade (1999-2000) and freshman year (2002-2003) because everything was a new experience ... and 8th grade (2001-2002) because I became really social with everyone and I was involved in so many extracurricular activities that made me happy. WORST: Sophomore year (2003-2004). I just moved in to my new house here in SF and things just got worse for me. That carried into my life at school. So stressful! This semester in college is crap too. =/ freshprinceofLA 12-12-2007, 03:50 AM WORST: 6th grade (2002-2003) Started out really bad. Got into lots of trouble and other people as well got me into some trouble, bad grades lets just say I made some really bad choices. But the ending was ok but still one of if not the worst school year I ever had. 8th grade (2004-2005) BAD! My class schedule was messed up, I had some really bad teachers, I didn't feel respect from anyone but it also was the year I met her.... but still a very very bad school year. I thought as you get older you start to make better choices well that is total BS I made ever stupider choices than before in and outside of school. 9th Grade (2005-2006) Felt like a total waste of time. I could've took classes to make me ahead but chose to hurt myself even more by taking the easier way out. Made a lot of enemies. Once again my schedule was messed up. This year was much like my 8th grade year just not as bad. But I got some damn good grades. BEST: 4th Grade (2000-2001) This is where I met most of my friends whom I still hang with. I had a great teacher who I learned a hell of a lot from. I had lots of fun that year. 7th Grade (2003-2004) Fun Fun year. Made a lot of friends here too. I expected the move to middle school hard but it was easy! Met cool people from other schools and just had some FUN in and outside of school and my grades at the time were the best grades I had ever gotten. 10th Grade (2006-2007) This past school year probably the best I've ever had. I made lots of new friends I finally got a school schedule that I felt happy with. Grades could've been better but other than that everything went right that year. Plus I realized my love for a certain girl and had lots of FUN. Plus that school year was the first time I felt in a long time that my family had my back! I loved last school year I was really really sad it had to come to an end. treky 12-12-2007, 04:35 AM Best: None WORST: ALL OF THEM!!!!:mad: D-Dey 12-12-2007, 10:09 AM Here's mine: BEST: 1994-95 (2nd grade) WORST: 1998-99 (6th grade) How about you? I had no good school years. I had good school days, and those were only when nobody talked to me, because it meant nobody wanted to insult me, harass me, pick a fight with me, punish me, condemn me for not having the same feelings as they did, or lie to me about how to deal with it. sunshinefizzy 12-12-2007, 02:17 PM The cool years: 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th The rocky years: All the other years I didn't mention sunshinefizzy 12-12-2007, 02:18 PM The cool years: 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th The rocky years: All the other years I didn't mention Kind of hard to say because the way I see it there were bad times in every one but there were good times too.

You always mentioned on the boards and to me over the nearly 3 & 1/2 yeras you talked to me that you graduated in 1994. Yeah, I told everyone that I graduated in 1994. Not just you. That just wasn't something I had felt comfortable telling anyone about. |
