I hate my school:(

This week is spirit week and today we had to go out to the football field for some sporting event. The thing is, It's over 90 degrees and once I saw that, I was like "Screw this, I'm goinmg home!" I couldn't care less about sports, not that I condem those that are into it, but I think it's stupid how my school just "assumes" everyone is going to be into it. I called my dad and had him pick me up. I just don't think it's right for my school not to have had any alternatives to people who are not interested. The funny thing is there were many other people calling parents trying to get out to.

Oh well, I got out early so I can get some stuff done. I know this doesn't apply to any of you, but I needed to vent.

Well, 'spirit' pep rallies are kinda boring/stupid if you aren't into sports, agreed. However, they can still be a lot of fun because you get to meet up with your friends and what not and make fun of the people acting like idiots in front of the entire school. :)

Spirit Weeks are awesome. All the Cheerleaders get naked with promises of hot love and wild parties if you attend football games. Like a sucker, I went and never got any. School sucks.

you hate your school because you got to go home early? WTF is wrong with you? Thats why spirit week ruled! There were always an assload of assemblies and pep rallies instead of classes, so we could ditch those much easier and go behind the bushes and get wasted.

I don't quite understand what you mean. We were SUPPOSED to have gone to the sport thing but I (and many others) didn't care and went home. Not to mention I have absolutely 0 spirit for my school.

The point is you went home. The school didn't somehow force you to go to the pep rally. So you're bitching about something you didn't even do.

Exactly. Although my spirit week is next week i went to a home football game yesterday and everyone is so damn funny. The cheerleaders are so pointless (though I do appreciate their presence) they never know whats going on during the game, have terrible cheers (but who doesn't?) and are so cute and dumb ( I think of them as Pikmin) when a song comes on and they just begin dancing/jumping randomly. No one even tells them to do anything- it's so unorganized.

Pep rallies are even better- cause all of the focus is on whatever group. Not even sure what you call some of the groups they are like twirlers/ we just follow the band peeps and they slide across the floor and hurt themselves (at least last year they did)

We have an awesome football team (prob. top 3 team this year and we usually are having a bad year)

But anyway I can ramble on and on about school - I don't really hate anyone - topic creator seems a little too negative about these sort of things. Just have fun with it.
 
I hate my school as well, but for totally different reasons that I will not go into for fear of sounding like a whiny little twat.

sounds like the 13 year old girl started her 2nd topic on the board :p Just deal with it. And plus, you went home. End of complaints

Outside of the whiny "I hate sports, I hate the popular kids" teen angst stuff ... why are you complaining about going home early?

I can understand the hate, I hated sitting through these things. Plus one of my friends was in the band, one was being forced to attend a baptist school, so wasn't even at my school, and another was going through this "OMG I am totally deep and goth" stages and I didn't feel like being around a whiney bitch. Although my father taught at that school and despite my complaints I still had to sit my ass at those fucking things.
Lesson learned? Sometimes you can't get out of shit you don't want to do.

Thats where the "getting wasted behind the bushes" part comes in. You should really befriend some stoners. It has its perks.

I HATED my second high school (after the move).

The first one was built in 1998, it had TVs in every room behind the whiteboard with a VCR. Everything was brand new. They let you check out calculators for math classes and every class had books in case you didn't bring them. This was Kaiser High School in Fontana. Fontana isn't exactly the best city to live in, and the other two high schools were run down, so it was nice to be in a brand new one.

The second one was built in 1950something. All the books are outdated. The teachers just assigned homework without ever helping. The PE teachers actually graded you on how well you did push ups, played basketball, etc. PE itself was separated by the sexes unlike the previous school. The kids were fucking morons there too. They would light themselves on fire and then jump on pools. One guy had one of those vibrating belt things which was supposed to help you lose weight, put it around his upper-chest area, and gave himself a heart attack.

Just last year they actually thought about putting actual heating and air conditioning in the classrooms. The previous things they had were these fucking vents which took the air from outside and blew it inside. It's all fine and dandy except for when the hills catch fire or the Santa Ana winds blow at 70 mph and everyone inside the class is coughing or their eyes are watering. Oh, and don't think we can just have that day off either, since the dumbfucks at administration don't want us to lose any school days when we have 3 extras just in case of something like that.

Then there's the matter of assemblies. If you don't make it to the library, or into the gym, or fucking book it before the assembly starts, you have to stay an hour or two out in the 90 degree weather. Forget about bathroom breaks too. I tried it once and apparently wanting to take a piss in the bathroom is punishable by expulsion.

Then you have the fuhrer, the fucking asshole who runs the band department. I wouldn't give a damn if my sister wasn't trying her hardest to be good in the marching band and the jazz band. The fucking shithead yells at the kids, calls them dumbasses, drinks, and never let them have water breaks this year until my dad called anonymously (they practiced in 90 degree weather for TWO HOURS without water). Then of course, this fuckhole ends up getting awards so the school keeps him on when it's really the kids who are doing all the fucking work. On top of EVERYTHING the little bitch uses the money generated from the hard earned cash the band gets from car washes and hours of extra work on top of band practice to help pay for his WIFE'S way to places which only the band should go.

Isn't that the point?

Compared to actually participating in it and doing your best in general? People were forced to play a particular sport and become good at it whereas at the other school you HAD to be ACTIVE, but you could do whatever you wanted: Tennis, Basketball, Football, Soccer, running track... Even baseball if you wanted to. It was fun, not work.

Then again, I've always been about choice. I raised hell in the 3rd grade when they forced us to start wearing uniforms because that meant I couldn't wear my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt anymore. WHAT FUCKING GANG MEMBER WEARS A TMNT SHIRT!?

That's called recess, fool.

The point of PE is to not only make kids be active, but to also introduce them to numerous different sports and activities. Having them do whatever they want is rather pointless; that's what they'll do after school anyway.

My penis is still intact.
At my school they forced us to try rugby and cricket, athletics and tennis, hockey and basketball etc...but after doing (or generally avoiding) the few weeks they made us do that, everyone went back to football.

And rightly so.
