In the UK we have two systems upto the age of 16, the three tier system and the two tier system. The education you receive in each system is the same, with the ultimate gola to pass your GCSE's (of which you take around 10 different subjects).

Two Tier System:

Primary School, aged 5 - 11
Secondary School, aged 11 - 16

Three Tier System:

Primary School, aged 5 - 10
Middle School, aged 10 -13
Upper School, aged 13 - 16

You can legally leave school at 16. If you wish, and have achieved appropriate grades in GCSE's you can move on to take A-Levels (typically 3-4 subjects). Some Upper/Secondary schools provide this education, others go to college (more on this later). If you acheive good A-Levels, you get to go to University, where, upon completion, you graduate with a degree in your chosen subject.

Colleges in the UK offer other qualifications aside from A-Levels. We have vocational based qualifications (car mechanic, plumber etc) as well as other more general qualifications. You generally attend them aged 16-18 but they are open to all (at a cost). We refer to A-levels and the qualifications offered by colleges as further education and university as higher education.

Anyway, I was a mixture of all the above at school. I was captain of the basketball team, had good grades, got on well with most people, but didn't socialise with them much outside school (was busy doing other things).

for me it's

elemantary school - kindergarden - 5th
middle school - 6th - 8th
high school - 9th - 12th

im still in middle school

****, in high school, I'm usually the loner punk that's friendly if you know what to say to him. I'm wasted at least twice a week so check that off too. I'm pretty much friends with everyone too but I don't like to hang out with people all the time. I get good grades but everybody thinks I'm about to drop out of high school for some reason. I'm a sophomore right now, I'll be 15 in December. My 2nd year of high school.

i was just kinda there, my friends knew me as someone who blew off pretty much anything to go skiing, and anyone i wasnt friends with didnt really know me all that well because i was never there.

Ohhh I know those girls, but they = insecure.

I however am just a unique hyper girl, I'm hyper because I'm happy, not to show off or to be liked.

I see, why is that?

Nothing gets the hyper down. Except needles;)

i'm was goth/punk

red leather pants w/ tight black top, kneehigh boot, dark makeup, black fingernail polish

after that i wore as much black as i could and look like i steped out of "interveiw with the vampire". they called me Lestat or Claudia

:yikes: :yikes: Youre 14. Omg i thought you were like 17.. ****,now i feel like a pedophile haha

don't worry i thought everyone was over 18 here so go figure i just got a good smack looking thru the demographics page so....
