What Year of High School ended up being the hardest for you

[Deleted]

Senior year had the most drama. The work was never troublesome, because I literally could not have cared any less about academics in high school. I could have probably gotten straight A's, but I was a teenager and had more enjoyable things to do, so I just got my C's and got out of there. I never bought into the hogwash about your GPA being all that important - turned out I was right. Now, I really buckled down in college because the material interested me, but high school is a load of crap.

The only thing high school is good for is teaching you how to deal with pointless bureaucracy. Anyone who says it's the best years of your life hasn't really lived. College is what you wish high school could be.

Sophmore Year destroyed me, man. Mainly because of home life stuff that nobody will take responsibility for to this day, and it just made me shut down in terms of productivity. I never did any projects, skipped a ton of days. It was just a bad time for me as a person.

Friendships and social status were still high, but inside I was just not there.

Even to this day I deal with depression, but that year was rough. Like I said, I was shut down inside. Nothing to do with school itself. Just personal animosity and inner turmoil.

Definitely Junior year, though Sophomore was pretty rough. Freshman and Senior were super easy.

Workload wise I would say junior. Freshman year was not that bad, Sophmore year it felt like I was basically just trying to complete classes. Junior year though was when I hit the really hard stuff. Algebra II and Chemistry were both insanely difficult, English required a lot of work, and being sick for several months did not help matters either. Senior year my workload lightened up considerably, at the end of the first semester I had all the credits I needed to graduate, so the second semester I wound up for the most part just taking stuff that would not be that difficult on me.

As far as social issues go I would say Freshman year was insanely difficult. I was picked on to no end a lot of it had to do with respiratory problems I have to this day. It was also the year that I had my first serious bout with depression. My parents at one point even thought about home-schooling me but I talked them out of it. Truth be told,if they would have known how bad I was they would have likely pulled me out and possibly even got me a bit of mental help. Sophomore year things were much better.

I used to say that between the constant harassment from other students, and the BS of school, there was not any amount of money you could pay me to go back to school for one day as a student.

Senior year, so much pointless drama among the girls, and all of us guys were dragged in between it. We all wanted to chill out and wait the year, but stupid shit over prom, yearbook, sluts and other unimportant shit, made it a troublesome time. I started cutting, because there was an argument everyday, and I stopped giving a shit after a while. Even then, it's not like I did any work that year anyway.

I liked Junior year, because the classes were harder, yet interesting.

After Freshman year it was smooth sailing

Yeah. Once I got acclimated to the environment it was prety easy to get around and stuff.

Plus you don't have a DL at that point so its like being a kid hanging out with a bunch of adults.

Once I could legally drive it opened up a world of possibilites, but overall HS was ridiculously easy. As was college if I'm being honest. The hardest part of Uni is working 20 hours a week, taking a full schedule AND trying to maintain any extra school stuff.

After all that, just working 40hrs a week is a breezy.

I would say my first year of highscool was hardest.

A lot of my mates I made at intermediate and primary school went to others so other than a couple I was pretty much on my own but by the secound year things had already gotten much better so can't complain too much.

My parents split freshman yr and my sister and I moved to a shit hole hick town that was like pleasentville. The roads looped back on each other. There was no escape. I got into drugs bad, started hanging out with the bloods there, got my ass kicked once and failed all but two classes. Yeah f*** freshman year. By the end of senior yr two schools later I was just outside honor roll, no drugs(drank a little), no gangs, many friends and cool with both parents
