How many fights did your school have/had?

My Highschool had 7 fights in the spam of one week, it was so bad that they had to start charging people for the amount of fights that happened.

I’m a high schooler who was born paralysed from the waist down - AMA!

Hi, guys! Thought some of you might find this interesting.

I was born with spina bifida (t11 myelomeningocele), as well as hydrocephalus and a Chiari II malformation. My SB is quite severe - I was born well over a decade after prenatal closure was first pioneered, and a little after it became the standard of care - however, as I’m a twin, it was never available to me.

As a result of my disability, I can’t move or feel any part of my legs, as well as my lower core muscles.

Feel free to ask me anything!

Any other nostalgic current seniors?

With school starting very soon, I feel really nostalgic. Despite the fact that I didn’t have the best high school experience, it just feels like… (idk how to describe it). Anyway good luck fellow seniors.

Advice for those worrying about getting bullied

Image related. This is me, I'm your typical "weird kid" with nerdy interests, pins on their bag, brings plushies to school occasionally....and let me just say one thing.

DO *NOT* LET OTHERS STOP YOU FROM BEING HAPPY.

I see so, SO many posts on here and other teenager/school subreddits asking things like "will I get bullied?" "Is this too cringey?" "is this weird?" and listen, bullying fucking sucks. I would know because I've been bullied myself, but honestly, it's not horrid if you can learn to ignore them or fend for yourself. Not to say that bullying victims have a "skill issue," because that's not true AT ALL, it's just that you really do have to ignore what people say about you. It's the only way you'll ever be able to express yourself because somebody is gonna dislike you no matter what you do.

In my experience, most people don't get too violent. Alot of other students aren't brave enough to get up in your face and say something, they'll likely just whisper to their friends. I personally don't care if they talk behind my back, because if they're not brave enough to say it to my face, their opinion doesn't matter to me. If people do get violent, find someone to report it to. Genuinely. Please talk to others about bullying!!! If you let it continue IT WILL CONTINUE!!

Anyways, all I have to say is, just do you. Be weird, be cringey, be yourself. Have a million pins on your bag, wear those bracelets, wear that makeup, dye your hair, get those piercings, EXPRESS YOURSELF!! You will never ever EVER be happy if you don't indulge in your own interests because of what others think. If you're surrounding yourself with people who like you for a false version of you and not who you actually are, that's an issue. You shouldn't have to hide yourself from your friends.

Oh and also, I live in a conservative red state. I've had countless people find me cool...you will attract similar people by expressing yourself no matter where you are, you may even help someone else be brave enough to express themselves!!! Much love.

Tomorrow is my orientation for high school as a freshman. I'm so nervous.

So tomorrow is orientation where all the freshman come to school like it's a normal day and I'm so scared right now. The thing is some of the kids I haven't seen since fourth grade are going to be there and I was a little of a troublemaker at my school and got suspended twice, and after I left that school, some kids have thought that I got kicked out even though I didn't. I've changed now, but I'm worried that everyone is going to start spreading rumors about me and making fun of me and stuff like that. I'm already an insecure kid and I have been cyberbullied online during homeschooling for 4 years, and I can't deal with that level of stress. I told my mom that I want ro socialize with other people or atleast make one decent friend, and my mom keeps telling me that I shouldn't want to socialize with anyone because I can't trust anyone, but she's also the same one who told me to compliment other kids next to my locker and make a good friend (wtf?). I'm not on the same level as everyone else and I haven't been able to do anything these past couple of years because learning for me is hard, and I'm skinny, so these other kids are probably going to be much more advanced and stronger than me. I've honestly thought of homeschooling again but that would be even more hard. I'm just looking for some advice for tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm really scared right now. I probably won't even make a decent friend in high school

Is this a bad idea?

So this is my school districts second year of letting kids bring their own computers to school, and id say about half of the kids bring their own computer and dont use the school Chromebooks. I'm going to be a freshman this year and I want to bring my macbook as i really dont want to use the school Chromebook (for several reasons I'll get to in a minute) for context my laptop is the base model macbook pro. As for the reasons why I dont want to use a school Chromebook, I'm going to be in a video class, and if I bring my macbook i can use my preferred software and work on projects at home, also organization with my personal and school accounts, as well as a few more reasons. I have like a protective sleeve that I keep the computer in but im still unsure of whether or not I should bring it to school. I'm not concerned about dropping it or anything, but im worried that kids will be kids and something bad could happen. Since im gonna be a freshman I'm not sure how things are around people's stuff in highschool, in middle school it definitely wasnt the best, so im wondering if highschool is safer in that regard. Thanks!

Has anything embarrassing like this ever happened to you at school

When I was 12, I was sitting with my friends beneath a large concrete block, and the girls in skirts were climbing on the bannisters. I randomly looked up, and a girl was stretching across to the other side and I accidentally saw up her skirt and saw her white, frilly knickers. I was so embarrassed and felt guilty.

Just something for the girls who just started or starting their period in school.

  • 2–3 regular pads — probably the most useful thing to carry at first. You can choose thin=/regular pads rather than anything super absorbent.
  • An extra pair of underwear — put it in a small ziplock or reusable waterproof bag.
  • Unscented wipes or tissues — useful for cleaning up.
  • A small opaque/disposable bag — for wrapping a used pad or storing underwear until you can get home.
  • Optional: a spare pair of shorts/leggings — especially if you're going to school or somewhere you can't easily get home.
  • Optional: pantyliners — useful for discharge, but they're not necessary for an actual period.
  • Pain relief — you don't need to carry medication unless your parent/guardian says it's okay ad you know how you're supposed to take it. If you eventually get cramps, an adult can help you choose an appropriate option.

How to go to class with bad period pain?

My leg pain and cramps got worse after I got to high school. Sometimes the pain is so bad but my school doesn't allow sick leave for period pain and it hurts my attendance rate so I just have to bear with it and power through it, I cant even learn anything because I cant focus. Luckily my homeroom teacher is understanding and she lets me go home sometimes. My friend recommended me birth control pills to reduce the pain, I've never been on one and im worried about the side effects. How do you manage on your bad period days?

Junior year backpack!

I used my book bag for everything last year, and got a small backpack this year for all the textbooks I need to carry! I usually would just take pictures of the pages I needed to read and then read off my phone during study hall, but my school has banned phones so I need to haul everything around (Cameras are banned too. And laser pointers? But AI is allowed to do work… I’m confused).

I crocheted a little whale shark guy to go with the crochet shark keychain I made last year! :)))

How do seniors mostly treat freshman in HS?

I am a freshman this year, and going to hs, obviously. I honestly don't know what to expect, I know absolutely no one in that school. I've heard some jokes from potential seniors/juniors passing by in a mall, and shit was kinda terrifying tbh, I just find myself creeped out by older dudes and girls. I am getting shoved into a locker or something😔

edit: btw, I am getting bullied for looking like this? People are so racist these days, can you guy like not mind me being an alien?🫤
