Random Ramblings discussion

Hey guys lately i have been really stressed about going to HS and the process, So I made this discussion for anyone who feels like venting about their HS stress

Well, I'm homeschooled, so I don't have to worry about high school... I'm quite worried about college, though. And how to get into a good editing internship program. I'm hoping to edit some independently published middle grade books to build up my resume.

I am in highschool at the moment. It stressful when we first started but I settled in

Oh yeah, it starts in a different year in Australia... In America, we have to wait until 9th grade. >:(

Yeah, we start high school in Grade 8, but in some schools there are middle schools

Is it much different from middle school so far?

Very. But sort of in a good way...

here in NY it it is like a game off chess a big competetion to get into a good school

:( Must be stressful!!

Hope you are okay Daphne

@Sarah it is stressful @Becky i am okay for now LOL!

You've started High School have you?

I'm nervous about high-school because I'm homeschooled right now and I'll be going to a catholic school.

Frances, you're so awesome you have nothing to worry about. Trust me, it's not that scary. I've been in Catholic school all me life and my three brothers have been through the same Catholic highschool I'm going to.

I'm homeschooled, so I'll only go to highschool if I want to. But, here in Louisiana, it's hard to get into a good one, because they're so....."exclusive"

Lots of you on this group are homeschooled :)

I'm more nervous because of like the switching classes having a locker and that sort of thing will be completely new for me while most kids have been doing it for like 3 or 4 years.

It's not that hard, Frances. And most people carry their back packs with all their books for the morning classes around until their first free. Then they switch them out for their afternoon books.

Plus I have the pressure of getting a scholarship. My older sister got a half-scholarship and now everyone thinks like I'm definitely going to get one but I don't think I will because you have to go through an interview process and they talk about being christian a lot and I'm really not like a good christian at all.

Yeah-I got the little scholarship you get by doing well on the placement test, but I'm shooting for my school's scholarship.

That's good! Good luck!

Best of luck to the both of you!

You too. Well, Frances, at least, 'cause you're homeschooled. But you get it. And thanks!

I'm gonna go through all this next year. I'm in seventh grade.

Cools. You're a super smart seventh grader.

Same.

Serious?? You're a genius!

XD Thanks...

school is so hard!

It is!

school sucks!

YES. IT DOES.

{I like some of school...I like band...And science...And my awesome history class...}

{I know. I just wanted to insert my opinion in a quiet manner.}

(Okay then. XD)

(I like english class, art class and I'm good at science and maths - although, I detest maths itself!)

(I had a pretty nice day today.)

I have a scholarship test in a month. Ackkkkkk.

Wow! I'm sure you'll do AMAZING, though. :)

It's pressure though and if you do well enough on the test you have an interview which I would totally fail at because it's a catholic school and I'm not really catholic at all so if they ask me almost any religious question I'm pretty much guaranteed to get it wrong.

Dude, I go to a Catholic high school and there are PLENTY of Jewish and non religious people. I got in, and I got in with a scholarship. I seriously wouldn't stress about it, which I know is easier said than done.

Like Robin said, I'm sure you'll be great, and best of luck on the test!

I go to an Anglican school, and they don't really care if you're not extremely religious. Generally, even if they are religious schools, they won't kick you out for not being super religious unless you decide to spend the interview smashing things and screaming "ANARCHY!".

Which I very much doubt you would do.

That would be so extremely hilarious and I would totally do that except I actually want to go there...

XD

High school is hard

And college will be harder...
I'm going to be going to college in about a year :(

Ah..college o_O
