This is one of the most
unfortunate thing that a person can be. People in
High School have no way of
getting out. It is a prison. You can take the
GED but of course that isn't the same as a
High School Diploma. I wish there was a way to get out of High School early with a
diploma from that High School. This is unfortunate because it is much harder to get into a
college or get a good job without a diploma from your High School. It is also one of the things that geeks must go through and put up with. The
ignorant are on both sides, the students, and the
administration and
teachers. If you answered a question to a teacher and actually showed intelligence they will deny that thought. Examples: A teacher once asked what was the
opposite of zero, I raised my hand and said
everything. He of course said "
Sorry, that is the Wrong Answer". If
zero is nothing, then isn't the opposite of
zero everything?
Many times they inflict,
homework that is
repetitious and
easy. I like a
challenge something that is one question but a
challenge to my mind. Next year is my
Senior Year, after dealing with my
mental illnesses, and actually becoming more
social, I have decided to make next year the best that I can. As a
geek,
nerd,
hacker, I have had to put up with jocks,
cliques, potheads, snobs, and other people that should have more mental problems then myself. These people made me feel worthless.

It is the end of the year for
school only a 2-3 weeks left. I do not know if these
teachers are crazy or what, but many have overloaded
the student body with
homework/
projects/
literature for us to finish.
The students have been
bombarded with
tests and a quiz or two. They also
mandated finals last year. Finals are worth one fifth of our final grade. I think that the teachers should have been concentrating on finals the last 2-3 weeks and making sure we knew what we were doing instead of giving us more work.
Update:
September 1, 2001
I finally got my
GED and was going to go to
community college, but I decided to take a year off and get myself together. At the moment I am a cook at
Primanti Brothers, and I am sure I will pick up a part time job elsewhere, so I can
gain experience in
the job world. By the way, I am one of those
workaholic types, at least I have been told I am and
I agree. I also don't get
tired and
complain about it like my
friends usually do, I guess I am a
man of a different
caliber
