View Full Version : End of High School Experiences
Well Agent 0 had bad high school experiences.
http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=8604&highlight=bad+highschool
So I've made a end of high school thread, cause oddly I had my last day of school ever yesterday (YAAAAAAAAHOOOO!! =) =)) and I felt kinda sad rather than happy, I'd been feeling happy for weeks then when it was time to leave I felt really sad to leave my school friends cause I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with all of them.
We have this tradition that is to use marker pens to write messages on our friend's school shirts, so my shirt is covered in funny messages and sad ones too. I was just wondering how everyone else felt when they finished high school, or if you're too young how you think you might feel. =)
or if you quit highschool ummmm, not sure but post whatever u want about it heh.
i got cut up pretty bad in a knife fight and had alot of sex. i liked highschool for the most part
not past it yet, but there are far too many pros and cons, but i probably will be sad... :( :( :(
Our senior class was only about 90 people, and we are REALLY close, which has been nice. Our school has never really fit into the high school cliches depicted on TV, but it was pretty bad until senior year. Anyway, the senior class had a huge camping party about 50 miles from civilization in the middle of a forest. Yeah, it was fun. I got there around 4 pm, and already there were 2 kids passed out. Everyone was drinking, i think, at least most of us, which made things pretty interesting. The memorable part was that it playes out like the end of a movie, ya know? I had all these loose ends, they were tied in beautiful ways, and emotional music guided the fade to black after i drove off into the distance. :) One of the best nights of my life.
I'm in grade 10 and so far nothing that exciting has happened. I hear 11 and 12 are far more promising, so I'm waiting... :)

yes, now if only we could all have that
I moved into my own place the summer i graduated; right by the high school. I had some friends still in high school so at lunch or during thier spare they would come by. After school they would come by also and often stay on weekends.My place was pretty much the flop house. Now I only keep in touch with one friend i had in high school. I look back at the friends i had in high school and i can truthfully say that the friends that are in my life now, are better friends than i had back then.
That's the same as most people I've talked too Gummo, they talk about their old highschool friends but hardly any of them keep in contact after about 5 years later.
That's kind of scary cause I don't want to lose my friends over the next few years, to go from daily contact to maybe once or twice a month (different universities), I'll have to make sure we keep in contact somehow......mmmm I'll think of something hopefully :(

I was glad to be out of there.. You know the old saw about Highschool being the best years of your life.. That may be so if you end up being a loser.. For me.. life has only gotten better.. While I had a great time in HS, ive never looked back :-P PS College was a million times better :-D

I remember describing the end of high school as the feeling of "tripping over the horizon". It happened so much sooner than it felt like it should. It wasn't bliss every day, but it was ok, and it seemed like it would go on forever. So when it ended, I felt lost. I knew EVERYthing was about to change - and it did. It's the end of an era. I think it's a good idea to look around and take stock of what that part of your life has meant to you.
I had such a blast in highschool, incredibly good times. Wish I had some awesome end experience, but it wasn't anything life altering. I don't want to be transported back to high school, I love living in my own place, but man was it good times. Loved it.
played out like a movie
yeah my last day did seem a bit sereal, when I think back it seemed like slow motion or something. It was a pretty good overall, all the ends were tied up for me too :)
One of the best nights of my life.
sure sounds like it, as you get older you get more freedom and have more fun, so things are looking :up: for the future, at least until your like 30 then it goes down again until you have your mid life crisis and buy a ripping sports car which you can't afford.....ohhh yeah

was your principal clapping? How can nobody clap, when I was at school everyone would just clap at everything the principal wanted us too.
The principal would say "I think the school would like to show their appreciation for your fine efforts" *heaps of clapping.
But nobody knew who they were clapping for most of the time. The school would invite some guest to speak and we'd all just clap like he'd won some kind of medal before he even spoke. My school was properly mental though so may not apply to anywhere else :p
our principal put 4 people around us, who were to raise their right hand when we are to clap, and the left when we are to stand up or sit down. Ridiculous.

ahh that's even more ridiculous than my school, what is the education system coming to when students are forced to clap for reasons they don't care about? I tell you it's killing the freedom of will from our young people..............perhaps a little melodramatic but my point still stands.
I'm in grade 10 and so far nothing that exciting has happened. I hear 11 and 12 are far more promising, so I'm waiting... :)
keep waiting ;), cause they are fun but also more painful workwise, but hey you get a little you give a little.

My last day was quite cool. We did the thing writing on each others shirts, and all had these crappy notebooks that the school supplied to get peoples messages on. Reading it is quite sad since I'll never really see any of them again, as I live on the other side of town to most of them. I still keep in touch with some people and its nice sometimes when your phone goes off and its an old buddy. The prom was pretty good as well, there were just me and two friends with a limo to ourselves (cos about 4 people found they couldn't afford it) so we just chugged the free champagne and i hooked up with my ex. It was cool.
Maybe it has to be over for me to really appreciate it, i guess we'll see in 3 years, 4 months, 1 week, and 5 days

End of high school for me:
HOLY GOD, GET AWAY FROM ME YOU HATEFUL BASTARDS.
See you never.
Okay, maybe not that way exactly, but college . . . incomparable.

I am in tenth grade as well, and while I look forward to my future, I am sort of dreading the actual ceremony. There's roughly 700 (give or take ten) students in my class and with a 99% pass rate, it's definitely not going to be a cake walk. When we had the 8th grade appreciation and promotion night at our intermediate school it took us almost 2 hours at a military speed. There was a speech and then they brought us up according to our AB block teachers so it went by groups of around 60-80. Luckily for us, that night it was only around 100 degrees. It was so funny though, they hire a party service to bring in nice chairs and stands, and trees. Yes, trees. Apparently they wanted a symmetrical pattern of trees, but half way through the ceremony the wind knocked over two of them.
I enjoy school. I really do. I know I gush about it tremendously, but I am in such a wonderful environment and given so many opportunities that I can't help but being happy. Not to mention my football team kicked DeLaSalle's @ss, first time they had ever lost a home game. It was awesome. I couldn't go because it was the weekend I went to the Oregon shakespeare festival, but a whole bunch of people called us during intermission of the night show to tell us. Good times, good times. I just try and focus and making memories. I know I won't really know these people in ten years, but right now I am having a helluva a lot of fun with them.

Whoops. I take back my post in your birthday thread . . . maybe.
Take it as a confirmation of your percieved maturity.
End of High School came very early into it for me.
I was one of those terrible teenagers, always in trouble,:rolleyes: not studying etc, going out too much, I didn't seem to relate to the girls (went to girls school) in my year, all my friends were older than me.
I left School at 15yrs of age, got a job and moved out of home :eek: much to my parents horror, this made me grow up quite a lot,:yup: I went nursing when I was 16, then to uni later and somehow turned out ok, ;)
I only have contact with one school friend, I seemed to loose contact with them because I spent many years doing shift work. :D

yeah me too :mad: the previous few years of yr 12s had held crazy after-parties where heaps of people got drunk and lots of other people gate-crashed them. Causing the wrecking of a private bar one year and also a drug overdose (survived) the year before. Somehow the school figured it was somehow liable to lawsuit due to it's holding of the prom so cancelled it for our year group and the year 11 formal that year......oh well I'm over it now surprisingly.

yes yes college has so much more freedom. At my school homosexual people were totally shunned and at college there's a queer society. At my school is was very uncool to be interested in Politics and at College there's labor+Liberal societies. Heck there's even a role-playing society that play those really complicated boardgames at my college. I haven't joined any of those groups (obvious reasons - not gay, political or interested remotely in those games) but the fact that I could join those clubs and hang out with like minded people is a comfort in itself.
I much prefer it to the entrapment of school life.
I heard college (university) rules. Can't wait.

Ahhhh the good ol' days.. ;)
At the end of high school we were all allowed to have a "Breakfast", which was really known to us kids as our "Muck up Day". This involved getting dressed up with your group of friends in any costume you wanted - we opted for the army look - and brought eggs, jelly, food dye, vinegar and any other left over foods in our fridge/cupboards - not to eat - but to throw at one another on the school's oval! It was probably the most fun I've ever had and I can't believe my school allowed it! Ever wanted to have a food fight with your friends or to throw a water balloon filled with dye at your least favourite teacher? Well that's what our school organised for us before our final year exams!
Meanwhile it took me a good few days to scrub off all the food dye and glitter not to mention the smell of fish oil! :p
