Negative Experiences in School

[Duke87 1,070]

Cjah: I'm behind you all the way here. Got a problem with school rules aginst fighting? I suggest waiting until school gets out, and kicking their asses once they leave school grounds. They've got it coming.

I also find the fact that the teacher said He's going columbine! rather amusing. Fights were actually a rather regular occurance at the high school I went to. There was at least one a month always. And even if you didn't see or hear it directly, you always knew when one took place because people would always be late to class since they stopped to watch. Some teachers would roll their eyes and excuse them. Others would reprimand them for not having the maturity to ignore the fight and keep walking.

In general, stopping to watch a fight can be a bad idea, since there's always the possibility that things will escalate, someone will pull out a knife or something, and you don't want to be an innocent bytander who gets hurt by accident in such a case. In the other high school in Stamford, someone actually did get stabbed with a pocket knife. There was a big skirmish in one of the hallways, and apparently someone had a knife and went to pull it out. It isn't known who it was, especially since it was only a minor stab in the stomach. The kid didn't even realize he'd been stabbed until he went into his next class, sat down and suddeny felt that his shirt was wet. That school is just up the block from one of the two hospitals in town, so they took him there, bandaged him up, and sent him home for the day. He was fine, and he was back in school the next day.

 

On another occasion, at my school, someone set off a bunch of firecrackers in the bottom of one of the stairways after the first lunch wave. I was in said satirwell between the third and second floors (heading down) at the time. A couple of girls screamed, but immediately afterward, all the guys present started laughing, and for the next couple of minutes, the phrase Yo, that scared the s*** out of me! was heard several times in the immediate area. And the kid wasn't caught. At dismissal time, several more firecrackers went off by the stairs in front of the school. I wasn't right there, but I was close enough to see a few flashes and some smoke. I immediatelly yellled Ayyy.... not again! (or sometheing to that degree). A few nods of agreement were seen nearby. Now, this time, the kid got caught. the area was too crowded for him to get away fast enough. And since there's a considerable presence of faculty in front of the school at dismissal time, he was snagged almost immediately. Doing it once in a stairwell and getting away with it wasn't enough. He just had to have the chutzpah to do it in the middle of a crowd with a lot of adults around. Somehow, I suspect a dare was involved.

Hmm, that reminds me of when someone set off a cherry bomb in a recess break last year. His hand nearly got burnt by the bomb, and he was subsequently expelled... which was a good thing, coz he was in fact a jerk and mean to everybody.

Always look at the bright side of life. Their will always be horrible injustices at home and worldwide. Awful tragedies and unimaginable disasters. Assholes will make it their goal to ruin you're life, the good citizen will help in moments of need. You might hit rock bottom and feel utterly hopeless, or you might be at the top of the highest mountain with the flag of success in your hand. There are good moments, bad moments, boring moments. People will judge you, love you, hate you. You'll make mistakes, or grand accomplishments. In the end it doesn't matter. As long as you are proud and happy with yourself and make it your goal to help others in need of a hand. You may be a religious nut, a cynical atheist. Boy or girl, big or small, young or old, etc. In the grand scheme of things, we're all just walking apes on a rock in space. When the world ends, it will be as if we never existed.

- This thought hit me a while ago. Probably stupid and worthless, but interesting.

Here's a thought- What do you do when in a lunch room with over 150 people and someone starts choking, and no one does anything buts stares like it's a spectator sport?

If someone answers that maybe they should come and give a lecture at my school. Poor girl nearly passed out, and the only person nearby certified to do the Heimlich panicked and blanked out.

What happened to her next?

[Jasoncw 12,021]

One time someone had a seizure in my cafeteria! I didn't do anything since his friend at the lunch table knew what to do when that happens. What bugged me though is that the lunch moniters all came in and started to try and take control of the situation, when she really didn't have a clue on what to really do. I guess this is a common thing for that kid, he got sent to the hospital, and nothing bad happened and he was back in school soon after.

But really, the lunch/hall moniters are pathetic! There is one lady, who is the your automaticly wrong type, and she escalates things herself really fast. If you're good you never have to talk to her (although I'm sure she's an ok person in a different setting) except for showing her your hall pass in the hall. On the other end of the spectrum is this really fat guy who sits on a table in the hall talking to the kids who should be in class. He never enforces any rules, and under the rare occasion that he does, all someone has to do is just keep on walking, because he's too lazy to do anything. He doesn't check the hall passes (the only job he really has) and as a matter of fact, he sits around and chats with the kids who don't have passes! Well, he retired after getting reported saying something sexually suggestive to some girls, so they replaced him with another guy just like him! Plus they give them little walkie talkies like their job actually needs it, and they use them all serious-like, as if they were acting out some action movie.

and the security for after columbine is dumb! So they lock all the doors but the front one, right? well then the gunner goes through the front door instead! or just shoots the locks off! or busts through the window! and it's not like there are any rapists coming in and raping kids in between classes. Plus, they don't moniter the front door, which completely defeats the purpose anyway.

Then there's a no-backpacks during school time policy. You can bring your backpack whereever you want before or after school, but during school you need to carry your stuff with you. well, if you're bringing in a bomb, your not going to set it off when it's with you (where your backpack would normally be during class), your going to detonate it when it's far away from you--like your locker, or somewhere else you put it before or after school. And everyone's probablly seen the video of the kid wearing loose (not baggy) clothes, who spends 5 minutes pulling machine guns from under his clothes. Plus someone could carve cavities into their books to hide weapons in.

Their security measures aren't thought out well enough to be helpful, but still get in the way of normal life. I think they should try to prevent people from wanting to do it in the first place. But really, most of the staff knows how dumb the security is, but everyone knows it's just to keep the pyscho moms happy.

ahhh, there's my real rant, lol. Plus there's a big problem with the school not firing incompetent teachers. The only way to get fired is to hit on, or beat up a kid. and not show up to work, lol.

[ardecila 125]

In elementary/middle schools, I had almost no friends. MY 1st and 2nd grade teachers wanted to make life hell for me. The 2nd-grade teacher, upon any sort of minor attitude (I'm not exaggerating), would send me out into the hallway. So, rather than being in class and actually learning, I would be undergoing punishment. It wasn't that bad, but I remember it was quite boring. The advantage is that I would often see the gifted services teacher walking past me. I formed a friendship with her, and apparently she saw something in me, because she recommended me for special 3rd-5th grade classes at another (regular) school on the other side of town.

I learned much more there, but I still had no friends, really. I had one good friend in 5th grade, but then we got split up because we lived on opposite ends of town, and went to different middle schools. Middle school was absolute hell, though, socially. The classes weren't bad, and neither were the teachers, but everyone was so incredibly cruel back then. I met a girl that I really liked in 8th grade, and we became friends, but her normal clique didn't like me, and so it often led to some awkwardness.

I'm now a sophomore in high school. I'm much more accepted now by a lot of people, largely due to the fact that I'm much more participatory now, what with swimming, debate, Club Rock, and such.

I still feel left-out sometimes, tho, because although there are people whom I'm familiar with, and who'll associate with me freely during school, those same people will have nothing to do with me outside of school. I haven't been invited to any place outside of school with other people my age in several years, and it really annoys me.

My parents always stressed that I should never force yourself upon anyone else (e.g. inviting yourself to someone else's house, etc.). The problem is that such concerns now affect my actions, so I'd feel really bad if I tried to join other people without being invited.

[ephorex_77 0]

*whew*...

I know I'm probably generalising here, but from what I can tell here, American schools are exactly how they're presented here; wild and nasty.

 

I'm lucky in that I go to a private school and this sort of thing just doesn't happen. And the strict rules on everything is, IMO, a good thing, including the strict ones on hair length, colour and styles. Interestingly enough, just the other day we had a little class discussion on it and some of the 'jocks' as they would be known in the States, agreed that the rules were quite reasonable.

 

I've never been a victim, except for two 2 second occasions, of bullying before. I attribute this peace to strict (arguably) school policies. For those of you who claim that this stifles productivity/creativity, my school is one of the best performing in the state (somewhere between 10th-15th in the state out of hundreds of schools) for its relatively small size.

 

duke: That little account of your school life explains a fair bit.....

 

ski: In a school, it's the small details that ultimately have the greatest affect on students. Having tidy hair and personal grooming habits (as opposed to the tens of private schools literally down the street) really does make one appreciate and eventually practise, tidiness and organisation. My school is located in a region that probably has the highest density of private schools in the world. My school is known for its excellent academic reputation as well as its outward appearance and behaviour. The school doesn't 'waste time' doing this. It's ensuring that we grow up understanding the importance of neatness.

 

dev: I don't think that creationism will ever be taught in schools. I personally have no stand on this matter, though I am inclined (as I have not researched it in depth) to believe in the theory of evolution - to a certain extent. The soul was created bv God and for me, that is the final word. The Church has no view on this matter, but they have a 'hands-off' policy when it comes to the origins of the soul, the thing that makes humans unique.

[justanothersim86 83]

Brancra: If that happened, I would try and help out as much as I could. If there are 150 kids, more than one should know the heimlich. They should anyways. I hope she was okay. I nearly passed out when I was choking in Grade 3, someone tried to help. Fortunately I swallowed just in time.

 

It was a fuzzy peach candy.

 

Jasoncw: We have those hall monitor types who think that they have so much authority. I've never had any Columbine secuirity measures at my school. Sounds a little extreme.

 

There are always bad teachers, but their just as miserable as their students if not more.

 

Ardecila: A lot of teenagers and kids are cruel and almost inhuman at times. Its really sadening to see them torment others.

 

My parents always stressed that I should never force yourself upon anyone else (e.g. inviting yourself to someone else's house, etc.).  The problem is that such concerns now affect my actions, so I'd feel really bad if I tried to join other people without being invited.

 

^That described me dead on. Never be afraid to ask, just know when not to go overboard.

 

Ephorex_77: I always wondered why american schools seem worse. No country is perfect by far. But it seems a bit more severe in the U.S. Though I hear that some schools in England are pretty bad. But I've never been in one, so I can't past a judgement.

Actually a girl once got raped in a bathroom at my high school. It was by someone else that was a student there, though. Just as sickening as the act, though, is the girl's parents' response to it. They sued the school system. And won a lot of money for damages. Ah, America. Nothing bad is ever your fault, you can aways sue someone over it. And, whether or not the person being sued has any responsibility, the jury aways sympathises with the plantiff(s), and awards them money they don't deserve or need.

 

If you're bringing in a bomb, your not going to set it off when it's with you.

What makes you so sure of that? Never heard of 'suicide bombings'?

[brancra 1,213]

Well, when the first person failed, one of the gym teachers shoved her out of the way, gave a great heave that failed, gave a second heave of the heimlich and she coughed it out, at which another girl had a breakdown from watching it. I have no idea what condition she's in, but she was helped out of the cafeteria with only minor assistance.

Ah well. Actually got out of school early the other day becuase the severe windstorm started pushing people's cars into each other. Apparently, people don't understand the importance of park vs, neutral.

Well I remember back at my old school they didn't like people holding hands and kissing...that type of thing.Then someone would always be bugging those couples.Mostly the dumb security.The point is these couples would go off to more private places and either continue kissing or go all the way.Its kind odd to think it could happen at a high school,but I never think much of it.Anyway if you can sue and get what you want then go for it.Who gives a damn if the school system is free.They know how to screw kids up and if you can get your cash for supposed damages then be all means go for it.I remember getting so many things stolen at school,but does anyone give a damn?no,of course not.Its my fault and it was in my backpack all nice and locked up.To bad theives run wild and get their cash and items while normal students try to learn in these enviroments...Its that school is free,but yeah it comes at a price.... 

 

About bombings and such....so many times its just a prank.It seems every year my old high school would get a call about a pipe bomb or a gas leak or something and it'd be some stupid kid trying to get out of taking a test or something.Sad isn't it?but yeah their are suicide bombers and it is possible that it could happen.

[The_Family_Guy 2]

I want to puke when I hear of the mountain of problems people have. It's sick to hear that people are beat up, or ridiculed because of their appearance or demeanor; just as bad, these people seem to have turned themselves into a pillar of pity and hermitage, a horrid pile of grief and whimpering. Traits that lead to horrible life choices, and gruesome thoughts of suicide, or an attraction to the black arts, etc.

It's disturbing to hear of such issues, and how apathy, or embarrassment has led others astray from assistance or friendship. Today, I live in a sick society without morals. With the advent of violence, drugs, racism, etc., America, among most other countries, is sinking in a Babylonian wasteland, covered in the affluence of Satan and demonistic people. Without the morals of previous generations, there are broken families, mistrust, fake friendships, an attraction to money, an unfounded weak faith in God, if any, incessant apathy towards doing any sort of good, a focus on blame rather than solution, complaining instead of moving on...

 

The list is more than endless. Generations are now falling apart into sheer independence, each person seems to be led a astray by false ideals, or weak, unfounded judgements, that dog-leash them into an abyss of, at the very least, accepted moral mediocrity; moreover, these generations lack a strong parent base with a good sense of judgement. Parents today are having children left and right, and do not think of the consequences; therefore, kids today raise themselves in front of the idiot box, building character from Barney and Mr. Rogers, while their parents work endlessly, and in the midst, 60% of them get divorces and ruin any chance of a traditional upbringing, while destroying the child's mind.

 

I would know, it happened to me. But, with God's help, I realized that self-pity lead me into a rocky dungeon of hate and overall cyniscm, and I went to church and pulled my self out that hole, with the help of my re-married, Christian father, and the generally faith-inducing words of the Bible. 

 

 

But for others, there is a continuous search in the dark for a light that never seems to appear, and I find that sad. I wish for the world to overturn their malevolence, and just for one moment, stop and think about the atrocity that seems to be invisible to most of mankind: a lack of faith (in any diety, except money and themselves) and a stoic, moral background, that will inevitably ground the world into a fine dust of self-deprecation and venomous, demonic selfishness.

 

Good grief.

[justanothersim86 83]

Umm, okayyyyy.

I'm not a non-religious person because I was miserable. I am non-religious because I don't believe in it. Simple enough. I don't trust the church, the extremely religious people have actually made me more miserable if anything. I am agnostic, I can understand how people go to church and many people who do are kind and giving. But I just don't believe in god, heaven, etc because I choose too.

 

 

[vidioman 21]

Yeah!! Let's blame atheism for all our problems!! And all that satanic rock music!!

Let's go back to the olden times, when we had morals! Let's return to 1942! Everything was PERFECT then!!

That satanic music you all condemn is my light. Too bad ignorance and misunderstanding keeps blocking it out.

[Meg 368]

Okay, guys.  Let's get back on topic.

[justanothersim86 83]

SkiGeek is right, this is turning into the House of Worship thread where all this belongs.

My english teacher read my persuasive paragraph in front of the class. It was on what makes the best pet (wish I had a better topic). I said cats were better, and said some semi-mean stuff about dogs in it. The whole class was in uproar and wanted to know who wrote it. Ignorance over something as stupid as a paragraph, I didn't even mean what I wrote. I just wanted to get it done. It kind of got me down at the time, but now I realize how stupid the whole class is. I don't blame my teacher, she is a very nice person and enjoyed the paragraph as much as the class's reaction.

 

    I wish I could of read my political, final project paper in front of my period 5 civics class.

 

50% of my class (conservatives) vs. me (NDP). I never insulted conservatives in it, and never will. But my stance on gay marriage, social programs, poor people, etc would have caused a riot.

 

But I won't say any more about that (politics and Simtropolis don't mix).

 

Brancra: Its good to hear she is okay. Choking is a scary thing.

I agree....

 

Who says I'm into satan just cause there is a lot of screaming and devilish sounds in my favorite songs.I also like the older songs of the 60's and 50's,but that doesn't mean I have to belive everything from that time....

 

Nothing is wrong in not beliving....

 

Everyone blames those who do not belive....

 

I don't belive because I never went to church and plus alot of people have told me or filled me in on parts of the bible.I just think a book that old has barely any meaning in todays modern world.Its like trying to build a 100 story skyscraper with blue prints made by people who lived during the rise of Egypt when all there was were pyramids...

 

We need a modern book for modern times....

 

Anyway I'm gonna go back into my dark hole and continue looking for my light....

 

WAIT!!!! its heavy metal....duh!!

 

EDIT....

 

Date: 2/18/2006 10:27:50 PM Author: SkiGeek Okay, guys.  Let's get back on topic.

 

Sorry ski,but I had to open my mouth and voice my opinion since I'm one of those non belivers.....if you edit my post then I understand....

[vidioman 21]

I don't listen to heavy metal screaming stuff, I listen to post grunge (nirvana, pearl jam, up to Theory of a deadman, thornley, etc.) but they still consider even that satanic.

It's because they don't understand it enough. We probably have the same thing, we dont understand christianity properly. but in many cases, neither do the people who are preaching it. Or they do understand and omit parts of it.

[gabetx 1]

letz see.... the only thang in school to me dat iz bad is when i ~edited~ n word got out dat i was gonnna ~edited~.... but i aint so now im happy....n for all of yall who say school sux cuz of bullies....man u cant let people push u around ~beep~, stand up fo yoself....i no if sum1 would try 2 bully me i wuld juss ~edited~.... dont let ne1 ruin yo high schoo- colledge years in school, those r the best years in life.....newayz otha den dat i no about all 1300 people at my school so if nethin bad happens da school will find out in about a day. that kinda sux too

 

~well... yeah~ A.C.

[villarule 2]

~edited~ A.C.

[brancra 1,213]

Um...yeah, gabetx, that would definitelybe a negative experience...uh...hm....so, does anyone else have class distinctions in their school? Y'know, where good grades mean you're a pathetic nerd, or doing a sport means you're a dumb jock, and so forth. My high schhol turned that into an online .pdf (why? because 800 students have myspaces, so of course such an item would spread throughout the school very quickly). 

Ooh, music stereotyping. With my 80s synth and R&B, and my contemporary dance music, I was lucky enough to avoid classification. But I know that listening to a group callen Rammstein or something automatically makes you a dangerous individual, so someone needs to explain that to me. Oh, and listening to Avril Lavigne made you a goth wanna-be, and Vanessa Carleton meant you were preppie. It's amazing how we can typecast somebody by clothing, music, family, physical attributes, etc.

 

I'm so glad this is toned t=down by senior year. By then, it's s'posed to be all about college, and what college you're going to, and beginning that collegiate way of thinking. S'posed to be.

[justanothersim86 83]

Never had class distinctions. Everyone is friends with whoever they want. I have friends who fall under nerd, jock, etc. There aren't any groups in my school, fortunately. I've never heard anyone being called a nerd, ever. If you have high grades, no one will ridicule you for it. Heck, the jerks will even tell you that they wish they had high grades.

There are snobs, jocks, geeks, emo's, etc. But they mix themeselves with other groups. No popular girls, no pathetic nerds, no mean jocks, nothing. My school is definately not perfect and there are conflicts, but nothing on that scale.

 

As for music, it doesn't matter what you like. I see kids wearing Pink Floyd shirts.

 

 

 

 

Just be yourself, always.

[The_Family_Guy 2]

Did nobody even consider what I wrote? I think people just read the word God and instantly assumed that I focused my entire entry on him.

Clearly, I did not. My focus was the lack of morals; God, in a sense, has nothing to do with human morals. It is up to us to determine what to do. Satan is all around symbol for evil, not just a single dark prince of hatred.

 

In school, teachers have become lax and have broken many kinds of traditions. I walk around school and frequently see a rowdy, loose group of kids, with nothing to do but hang around and make fun of other people. The regular classes (not honors) have teachers who are severely unqualified; more often than not, they are coaches with no degree whatsoever, and they let anything happen.

 

Obviously, the teachers are not the root of the problem. There are many factors in the creation of the nerd and the bully, and the countless other social groups in between. Frequently, smarter kids are instantly pushed into segregation, simply because they have a brain, and often do not conform to stupidity. Sometimes, as I said before, parents are absent from their kids, leaving them bored; this leads to enormous amounts of trouble, and eventually a jail sentence.

 

A key problem is money. Without money, arguments arise between parents, leading to divorce, and substantial problems with the kids. Sometimes the kids clam up, and become a social hermit, leaving the parents confused, and the kid to do nothing but write suicide notes (that being the worst  scenario). Other times, the children rebel against their parents, because they do not understand the circumstances of the divorce, and are confused and hurt. Without money, the single parent is likely to be at the poverty line, which often leads to bankruptcy; the other kids at school are cruel against those without the best clothes, or to those with free lunch, etc. 

 

What I'm saying is that there are far too many problems in today's society that are leading our future generations into horrible situations involving poverty, social hermitage, sex, drugs, violence, etc. This is not about God, but about us. If we do not learn to control our problems, then we can say goodbye to our future, and crumble into dust like the Babylonians.

 

Then who's going to have any experiences at all?

Just to relax a bit after my rant, lol.

 

My school is exactly like yours, sim. There are tons of groups, but all are intermixed, except the races (odd, but true). But there have been no fights in years (well, none that I've seen...)

 

Well, just to clarify, I love most classic rock. I don't think that any of it is Satanic (except for those who admit they are...)

 

Personally I'm a huge fan of Queen. Ironic eh? I don't condone Mercury's lifestyle, but God did I love his music.

If you can sue and get what you want then go for it. Who gives a damn if the school system is free. They know how to screw kids up and if you can get your cash for supposed damages then be all means go for it.

Ugh. It's attitudes like that that fuel this kind of legal bulls***. Seriousy. I could never see myself suing anyone over anything simpy because there are so many fraudulent lawsuits out there where people get money thay don't deserve. The system is too tainted. There are way too many lawyers in this country, and none of them give a damn about morality. They'll defend anyone as long as they think it's a case they can win. Because of the oversupply, they need fraudulent lawsuits to support them all. Seriousy people, before you ever consider suing someone, ask yourself, Is it really their faut or do I just want moey out of this? 90% of the time the ture answer is the latter. Many people fail to realize it themselves, though. They don't even notice that they're scapegoating. In fact, a good portion of the time, it's their own damn fault anyway. And a significant portion of those cases are won. It's sickening.

Ugh. It's attitudes like that that fuel this kind of legal bulls***. Seriousy. I could never see myself suing anyone over anything simpy because there are so many fraudulent lawsuits out there where people get money thay don't deserve. The system is too tainted. There are way too many lawyers in this country, and none of them give a damn about morality. They'll defend anyone as long as they think it's a case they can win.

Good insights Duke!

 

The_Family_Guy: Let's hear it for morality and taking personal responsibility regardless of whatever its source may be (religion, social or biological evolution, family tradition, whatever).  Sometimes it's too easy to think about the origins of something without concentrating on how to proceed fr where one is at right now.  I admire it when youth can overcome hormones, peer pressure, bad adult examples, and whatever else comes with the age to develop the inner strength to do whatever the right thing may be.

To me a public school is hell on earth. The School sytem has wounded me soo bad that I had a moderate psycological disorder by the time I dropped out of high school.

It has taken more than 3 years to recover form it.

The school has caused severe psycological damage to me.

The teacher did nothing about bullies and by junor high things were almost as bad as.. um best i not scare anyone but i glad it got through it with my sanity.

By grade ten the bullies vanished but the teacher got worse. Mocking my family name and and pushing me from grade to grade with no real education.

Aparently they taught my sister before and the board thought my family(except my parents) were unteachable.

Just becuse mental illness ran through my family that is no reason to think that i can't be taught.

 

My IQ is 110. and that is with little or no Proper education.

If I was given a proper education i would have an IQ of around 145 or even more.

Most of the things I know and the skills I have I learned myself. 

I sufferd the same thing as Albert Einstien in school.

SO PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH HIGH INTELEGENCE.

Thus a public school is STUPID! 

 

Don't feel sorry for me or email me about this i have moved on put the past behind me and that is the reason i got this far.

 

Katrina Synrome is almost identical to School Trama Syndrome so you can gauge the effects of 10 years off terror.

With my determanation and patence Only god himself knows how it i got though it.  

I will never go back to a pulbic school even if i means tens of thuosands of dollars in tuition.
