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.

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.

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.


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.

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.

Best: 6th grade ('95-'96)
Worst: 7th grade ('96-'97)

It's amazing how my best and worst years where back to back!

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.

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.

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! ). I even dreamed of spending my tenth grade year at my junior high school, thinking I would fit in better.

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. . Nah, senior year was great.

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. 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.

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.

Best-grades 5-6
Worst- 7-8

[dawsongirl]

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.
