High School Rules!
 

what were you in high school?

your typical street punk (combat boots, leather jacket, mohawk, etc) all the teachers thought we were skinheads even though none of us actually had a shaved head.

i was a nerd:wavey:

Haha. Iv'e always wanted to know this...is there a difference between a Nerd and a Geek?
If so, what?

nerds are smart

geeks play D&D

lol,nerds are smart,geeks are ugly And smart.

Soooo...nerds are attractive and smart? :confused:

no, nerd are smart and ugly, geeks are smart and fugly

:usehead:

Fugly????

:( Are you saying im fugly?
Okay i wasnt really a stereotypical nerd,but my marks were very important to me so i worked hard.
Annd now that you got me curious, here is the definition:

Geek: A person often in an intellectual bent who is disapproved of
Nerd:An unstylish or socially inept person.One slavishly devoted to intellectual pursuits

Hmm seems like the nerd is the ugly one..

no, guy geeks are fugly.

What are girl geeks...

there is no such thing in croatia, no division into jocks, nerds, goths, maybe because i went to a school for smart people?

Haha, that makes you a geek...I think!

did you have sports teams?

GEEK HIGH :laughing: for Croatians.

"girlks"

like highschool sport teams? no....and there is no division into popular and non popular students, hence no columbine here....

sounds alot like pink floyds "the wall", zombie like children all walking, dressing, thinking the same...gives me chills thinking about it.

haha..far from it, i guess we're just more easy going as a nation, we don't think it's the end of the world if certain people don't like us, the goths as you call them can be just as popular and intelligent as the "geeks" or the "jocks", in fact, most of the guys in my class were metalheads, but i guess that goes with the teritory ( we were the math and computer science division of the gimnasium - that's what those types of schools are called , we also have highschools for economics, electronics, tourism etc. gymnasiums are for the more intelligent people)....girls that would be popular in american highschools don't get into gimnasiums, they go to beauty school..:)
and there's no bullying, "geeks" are respected for their intelligence....i've noticed that many people in america look at highschool as the worst time in their life precisely because of the divisions on popular and non-popular people and the bullying done by the populars.....that's horrible....i can't imagine it happening in croatia....noone is purposly excluded here, noone is friendless, we're all in it together and we support each other....

umm im in h.s so gah

so there is no "general eduction" there? where everybody attends the same classes and learns the same info?

after elemetary school ( you finish it by the age of 14 ) everyone has to chose a specific highschool, if their grades aren't that great they chose the specailised highschools ( like economics, tourism, and various other trade schools ), gymnasiums are general education highschools ( they have at least 12 subjects, and you don't get to chose them, they are the same for everyone:math, geography, physics, chemistry, history, gym, art, biology,computer science, english, croatian, italian ,religion or ethics,latin,and in 3rd and 4th year psycology, logics and philosophy) so after you finish the gymnasium you have to go to collegge because without it you are not qualified to do anything....

Can one of you Euros explain how the school system works there. I think our "college" and "high school" imply different things.

wow adidasss, that's quite similar to what it's like over here
though you can choose whether you're taking history and literature related classes, or math and science kinda ones.
i do have to study latin and it sucks ass
other than that, you have logics in the 9th grade, psychology in the 10th and economy classes (whatever they're called) in the 11th
we have some "optional" classes (that everyone's got to take) and you can choose from religion and geography
that's how it works in romania, or at least in my highschool
and the highschool thing is like adidasss said, you start it at 15 years old and you finish at 18. then you go to a university or whatever

oh by the way, i'm none of the options in the poll... i'm one of those who count the minutes till they get out

You go to primary school for 7 years.
Then you go to high school for the next 4, 5 or 6.
Then you choose either to go to college or university.

I am the total nerd...who dated the captain of the football team.

maybe in Brittain, but it means the same here as it does there, we just have specialised highschools and collegges, unlike you, who have general highschools and collegges....and american collegges fascinate me, i've seen several shows on tv where the main characters are really fighting hard for their right to go to collegge and confornt their parents and whatnot, and then when they get to collegge they chose subjects like photography and pottery....and i think you don't have to chose a major for a couple of years, so essentially you're still learning bullshit, nothing that will qualify you for a job.....

In Guernsey you start school a year earlier than you do in the UK.

I`d taken all my GCSE exams and left school when I was still 15

I was many different things in high school. I went from being a dork, to a skank, to a happy-go-lucky/hyper person that everyone likes.

first i was a loner, then i lost weight and dyed my hair and became one of those people thats friends with everyone and then i was a druggie :( but not anymore :)

really??
im the happy-go luckey / very very hyper crazed person that every one hates????

Its a refined art, too much hyper and people begin to wish you'd shut up.

Also i don't know about you but a lot of hyper people at my school talk some serious ****. Like it wouldn't be so bad if they talked about normal stuff all the time, but not things like "So I text brad and omfg I like, never like, got like, a reply and I was all like, tearful like totally upset and like i rang jennifer and she was all like, yeah brad has a flat battery and I was like omg my life is like over like, big time"

Now that is like, so asking for my foot up their arse.

Im one of those skater kids that um...sleeps in class and like wears tight girl pants and does stupid things like shave his legs and wear short shorts to schooll...


yay for me!

i lied when i said we didn't have geeks in highschool, there were 2 of them in my class, one of them was a genius and went to contests in math and whatnot, the other one just studied a lot, no real briliance, which was shown in his collegge carrer ( he's struggling ), they both dressed like their mothers bought their clothes and wore specks, still, noone bullied them, and their exclusion from the main crowd was not because everyone else was mean, we tried to include them, but they were simply socialy inempt, they behaved like they were 45 and had absolutely no sence of humor, you can try to talk to those kind of people and be nice, but eventually you have to give up trying and spend time with people who you actually enjoy spending time with because they're on the same level ( mentaly ) as you are....

I'm just beginning my highschool years :(

dear god you're young....

yes'm.
just turning 15.
