Well, the past four years of stress and teen suffering is finally coming down to a few days. Come the end of tuesday, i'll no longer be in high school (big sigh of relief)

i'm stressin out though because if i fail a single class i don't graduate, and i'm failing one right now. So basically it comes down to my exam grade. and if i fail any exams, i also won't graduate.

so yeah, i'm gonna be pullin' my hair out all weekend trying to study. just thought i'd share

If you think things will get better once you graduate I got some bad news for you because it doesn't get any easier, in fact it gets worse! The stress and suffering won't stop until you're dead.

Exactly!! One day you'll be wishing you could go back to "the good old days"

Good luck my friend!!

Schools....Pah !!!..,nothing but nests for tax dodgers, get a job

No point in gettin stressed, enjoy

I know it's been said but take it from us old guys....

You need to get a handle on handling responsiblity and "taking care of business." Once high school is over the pressure goes up, not down. At some point your decisions will affect your career possiblities, which affects your income, which determines alot of your quality of life, which can affect your family.......it's all a chain. And it is something that needs constant maintenance throughout your life.

Good luck.

+1 Well said!

Yeah, listen to what those older and wiser than us are saying.... I've been out 4 years (long enough to do another tour of HS and should have graduated college but couldn't hack it) and I still can't find a job.... must be something about me people don't like. I earn all my money doing odd jobs and gardening... no taxes though... but I stress about things all the time concerning real life, so much so that I wish I could go back to high school because it all seems easy now

hey, trust me guys i know. i know i'll have more responsibility, and i can take care of it. i just hate my school SO much, and college will be much better. plus i'll be in classes i actually like. i know what i have to do, and i know i can do it. once i get a handle on things, it'll get easier. i got it covered.

Classes you like doesn't mean anything really... I took classes I liked and some were hard as (censored). It is ironic that classes I got the highest grades on in when I was in school were Guitar and Music Appreciation classes

Good Luck! I just got done with AP exams yesterday, so now the next three weeks are just going to be smooth sailing.

I still got one more year though

Yeah... how can i get back in? I think i'll head back over to the "time machine" thread and go back to high school.

Life is like an atari 2600 game... gets harder and faster til you die.


Enjoy the last few days of innocent youth.

You'll be fine mate. And believe me, University is easier when you're doing what you enjoy. Because someone who "couldn't hack it" says its very hard doesn't mean it will be. There is a step up, but it isnt an unmanageable step. I've found that if you keep on top of the work you'll be fine.

I wish I was still at school, or maybe college

We don't get out of school until June 9th, and after that I still have four more years of school.

I just said or meant some classes you like may end up hard... there were some classes that I had to take that turned out to be easy. I have major ADD too so that didn't help too much either but as it turns out I'm going back in the fall to be a History Major
