Proof that school is bad for you.

SunnyDaysDontLie · April 2010

This is proof that school stresses you out beyond belief, even though health class says you should avoid stress because it is bad. I, Kaytee, an obsessive and habitual nail biter, have not bitten my nails in the 3 weeks I've been absent from school. [They're navy blue at the moment o.o I need to repaint them.] School + homework = stress. Stress = bad. Therefore, school = bad. ^.^ Watch. I've got about four tests and eight quizzes to make up when I go back to school tomorrow. I bet you I'll be biting my nails before tomorrow is over. D<

heck yeah school is bad for you xD But unfortunatly the good outways the bad. My shoulder and back are screwed from lugging around my big fat school bag, I'm going to have to have an operation on my shoulder in the future sometime yay -.- It is indeed extremely stressful, especially when the teachers scream at you for not doing something but oh sorry I had a ton of other work to do D< back off I'm doing my best ok?! Heh, I'm dropping out of school end of this year to get away from it all >.> everyone's criticising me about my decision but hey, it's my life yeh know. Ohh ouch all that work in one day?!

Good luck! And I'm sure your nails will survive ;P

Ehh. Dropping out isn't the best decision for me. But. Its not all in one day that I have to make it up. My benchmark is the main thing that I have to make up. [easy A, why do they bother?], along with a few math tests and quizzes, grammar/vocab quizzes, and probably some quizzes in health. There's a prep school about 30 minutes away from me that my parents are thinking about sending me to, its either that, or I get a brand new laptop and take all my classes online for next year. Which means I can take more than one period. D< My backpack is really heavy. I'm actually getting some new binders from wally world today ;D And a new pencil pouch. So maybe I wont be lugging around too much anymore.

Bahaha. Put 13kg into lbs for me, please. I'm an idiot, and I'm in math overload xD Mine's pretty heavy. Maybe not too bad, but it's heavy enough that I might have to get a new backpack next year.

SirPopcorn · April 2010

28lbs apparently -pets converter- That sounds a lot e.e If it wasn't so late at night I'd go jamm all my books in it and weigh it for myself on the bathroom scales, I have a feeling it's not as heavy as the physio said. Depends what's in the bag really xD

Jesus o.o I'd die xD Mine isn't that heavy, partially because the only textbook I carry around is my algebra textbook, which is only about 700 pages. So it's not too extremely heavy. I just need to clean it out and organize it and such ;D

700 pages? My Calculus book isn't that big o.x;

See? Now that's sad. Actually, the exact page count is 848 pages.

Lmao. Enjoy school. Life is stressful, so does that mean life is bad? School is just preparing you for the 'real' world. Which starts to seep into your life about a year before high school is actually over. Just my opinion on it. School isn't that stressful if you stay on top of things. The most stressful part of school for me is the people I'm around since I'm so shy, and wish I could be outgoing xD The actual school part? I just coast through it. Whatever happens, happens.

RoyalRaccoon · April 2010

I'd be more stressed out without school....or crazy bored. I love school.

Jellybeanjoe · April 2010

Actually it's been proven that some stress is actually good for you :P Too much stress isn't :P

I carry a 1050 page AP biology book, 900 page US History book, 2 200-300 page AP bio workbooks, a 3 inch, two 1 inch and a half inch binder to school every day. As Nickel said, it's preparing you for the real world. If you can't handle school, how are you planning on working or living on your own and paying your own bills? Without school, everyone would be uneducated and funemployed, then your little money crisis would become your life story.

Goldy · April 2010

That was what I told myself when I got really tired and stressed with high school. I'd say, If I can't deal with school, what can I deal with, honestly? Being an adult is so much harder than being in school. Although I throughly hated high school, I'd take it anyday of this whole adult business.

Then again, you're a junior. I can handle school, yes. Honestly, some people can't handle a joke. ;] It's just pretty bad how much is stresses people out. A girl I know, in between school and family issues, lost -all- her hair. Eyebrows, eyelashes, everything. Actually, Holland, I've got a quick question for you. Would it be okay if I pmed you? It's rather local to our...location? o.o;

I don't want to go and drop out, no. I -want- to go through and graduate, etc. It's just upsetting me that I'm a freshman, and I'm -this- stressed. I think, most of it is just trying to get everything done. I walked into class today, and had -no- idea what we were doing in math. Finding the vertex of quadratic equations was on the board. Which, I was like, oh okay. Insert it into the calculator, etc. I got the first one right, but the others I couldn't figure out, because they didn't land directly on the line. And we went straight from rational equations to these, and I had no idea what was going on. Then we moved on to notes, which was doing quadratic equations without the graphs, figuring out the roots and whatever. Which, I'm happy because it took me five minutes to grasp the concept, so I had enough time to finish my classwork/homework, same with all my other classes. So I'm not as stressed out today. o.o; If that ramble made any sense.

Even as a freshman, I had a lot of stuff.. and I guess, sure whatever.

Completely agree, i hate teachers for not caring about anything other than their own subject/class. Try being in and out of hospital for the last part of the school year, and trying to keep up with school work x_x Then everything starts to go better, and you can return to school normally after summer. Two months down the line your cousin disappears off the face of the earth. This is the cousin I grew up with, lived just a street away. We were same age, went through school together etc. he was like my brother. Try having the media reporting about everything your family does, twisting it and making it false. Then have the people at school, stranger on the street and on the internet judge you and your family because of what the media is saying. Try going to school, just wanting to get on with the work and forget about the stuff that's going on at home just to be bombarded with questions of 'Do you know where he is?, do you think he is alive?" from pupils and teachers a like. Try keeping up with school work while you watch your family fall apart in front of your eyes due to the events above. Then when he suddenly walks through the door one night, that just opens up more questioning and investigating by the police. Then the police decide they was to take him to a young offender institute where we wont get to see him for a few years. We only just got him back. A month after that, my aunt[who I have been living with, and not the mother of the cousin above] starts going through complications with her pregnancy. She and the child almost dies. Later that same month my other cousin goes missing off the face of earth too, like her brother before her. 7weeks of worrying. Then she turns up on my door step one day. I've out lined what happened in the weeks following her return in a vent post. In short it got to the point where she was threatening me with knives and eventually tried to strangle me before my family would give her the boot. Try keeping up on school work with all that happening. When the teachers know what's happening and instead of slacking the work load on you, or being flexible about due dates, they just get harsher. At the end of the day I had to come to the choice of what is more important to me. My family or school work? I picked family. A grade on a certificate means nothing to me. It's a grade I could get years from now by going back to college. If could do it all over again and choose school instead of family, would i? No. Had I chose to ignore and neglect everything that was going on with my family I'm pretty sure it would have broken down. Yeah, I may have pulled the grades I wanted to, but years from now I can't suddenly decide to fix my family and get everyone back together again. People don't work like that. Right now I can't deal or cope with school. I'm too busy dealing with life. I have from now until May 12th to re-learn what I have missed in the last year if I want to. I'm trying for the sake of giving it ago, but I don't care if I fail. Sorry for the mini rant >.>

Howdy, Stranger!

Proof that school is bad for you.
