High school help: high school is hell. - Help.com

dnt pay attention to those girls, just concentrate on urself..

boo hoo hoo, im sure high school is so hard for you. never mind the fact that im stuck at home each night with no less than 4 hours of homework, which will soon be supplimented by a job. YOUR life is rough because you arent popular. lord almighty, how selfish can you get?

Im sure youre going to need me to call the waaaaaaaaaaahmbulance now, hang tight.

Hish school can be very tough. You will get through it though and you will have more knowledge and be stronger in a lot of ways than those girls. Life isnt fair but remember what goes around comes around. Keep your head up and focus on what You need to do to make your life the kind you want it to be. :)

I ask that question as well.

Swimallday, at least you’re getting an education. There are some people in the world who are not that lucky.

Yes, high school is tough, but you just need to deal with. You go to high school to get an education, which will help you get a better life in the future. Concentrate on what is important instead of being so concerned about popularity.

You said that the popular kids will lead normal and successful lives. I can tell you for certain that this isn’t always the case.

Life is hell… the really successfull people went to a private high school you can’t afford.

‘The genetic lottery’ :D

Well, no one can boss you around unless you give them an opportunity to. No one can put you down or make you believe you’re not good enough unless you let them. It’s your life, your choices. It’s all the same when you’re in high school, in kinder garten or an adult. Someone will always have a problem with you or will think he/she is better than you, it’s the way people are. Everyone decides for themselves if they are gonna treat other people like sh*t. Just make sure no one treats you this way ;)

high school is tough and i know how it is. To be honest i was one of those girls ur talking about. I was a cheerleader and focused on my looks and made fun of girls. I am telling u this cuz to give u advice they do those things to get a attention. they have self esteem problems it makes them feel better about them selfs. High school is complicating please don’t have anger towards those girls because they have issues of there own. Like me the reason i was so interested on being popular cuz my mom would beat me and my dad didnt want to be in my life and i had to work at mcdonalds just so i can pay for cheerleading. Underneath all that pain, i went to school with anger and cheerleading was my only thing i had. So i took advantage of it.I had so much anger so i made fun of those girls just to make me feel better about myself, I regret all of that cuz it wasn’t worth making those girls cry i was jealous of the girls who had normal lives because i had to work hard to get attention. Cuz i never got the love at home. so take it easy and enjoy ur high school years don’t focus on thos girls focus on u…

To elysium and bacon: though i know that my post seems “selfish” and horrible to you, i would like you to know that it really hurt me to see you guys say cruel things to someone you dont even know on a HELP sight… i had hoped i would get some advice or a nice word from a couple people, and when i saw the things you wrote i felt really sad. a word of advice: if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.
to everyone else, thanks for you encouragement.

I wasn’t being cruel; I was being realistic. If you want somebody to wrap you up in cotton wool and tell you everything is going to be alright, I’m sure you will be find many people who will. However, I’m not one of those people.

I know what it’s like to go through high school putting up with the so-called popular people, and the insults and condescension that they give. But answer me this: if you are unable to put up with such ridicule, how the hell are you going to survive in the real world? When you eventually leave high school, you will begin to notice that the whole ‘popularity contest’ will change. When you start looking for a job, it won’t be about who is the most popular; it will be about who has the diligence and intelligence to be able to accomplish the tasks ahead of them. You won’t be ridiculed on how popular you are, but on how capable you are.

My last piece of advice to you is to GROW UP and concentrate on what is important in your life. Any real friends you come across won’t be concerned about your popularity.

Bacon- i just dont understand why you would taunt me on a help site- what if i was suicidal? im not, but if i was i would have slit my wrists already.

First of all, I was not ranting about how difficult my life is. Second of all, I was trying to point out to you that high school popularity isn’t important and that you should be concentrating on the important aspects of YOUR life. If these ‘popular’ people are causing you so much stress, then maybe you should try to ignore them and concentrate on yourself.

Listen to what moonrabbit196 said. It’s good advice that you should take.

Btw, if you make a post on Help.com, you have got to be prepared to receive some tough love. Nobody was being cruel; they were just doing the right thing.

I agree, highschool is hard. There is a lot of pressure to be smart and popular and beautiful… but you have to ignore it. If you believe in yourself, people will think you are all these things whether you are or not.
Also, it may be hard to accept, but high school isn’t where it ends. Look deep into almost any workplace and you will see the same thing. Seriously, even hospitals.
