I've been working for longer than I was in school, and I don't have regular nightmares about being stuck in an office building. Just saying.

I think people who hated school generally didn't sit in the back of the class dying of laughter with their friends. I know I definitely didn't.
Way to say you had a good school experience - and everyone should. But not everyone does, unfortunately.
I didn't have friends in school. Hell, because of my undiagnosed autism and untreated trauma, I didn't even have peers.
I'm hind sight, many of my "friends" were bullying me, I was just happy not to be 100% alone
I had that experience in school. Even in college people would invite me to their dorm and put me in strange situations just to see how I would react. They didn't know anyone else like me.
Felt like being in a zoo. Or a circus. It was nice to be sought out, though. And they were clueless kids, so I try to not hold a grudge about it.
Ah, the good memories of being bullied and being told to kill myself
Now you can be bullied, told to kys and cyberstalked online
It's so beautiful.
And pay taxes!
This meme is completely unrelatable.
I hated school.
I never sat in the back of a classroom dying of laughter with friends.
I had no friends, back in school. I'm happy it's over!
Same, I think often about when I met my school bully a few years after we left high school and I was back home over summer break working a temp job, he was the supervisor. He told me to quit the job, leave my home town and enjoy my life. Sounds like a stupid movie cliche I know. Anyway he was obviously depressed and kept talking about how school was the halcyon days.
I guess I'm grateful school was shit as I have gone on to know what not to look for from situations and what I want and need from friends and work.
Not a bad bully redemption arc
I hated school because there was a bunch of kids mocking and laughing at me for most of it.
I guess some popular kids had good times by pulling my pants down or constantly hitting my chair during class. They must reminisce and miss those times, when they were laughing with their peers.
Most people hate school. Even the "smart kids", what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.
No, thanks. Uni was so so much better and having money is even better.
Nah. The school I hated didn't have that.
i accidentally picked the gayest high school to go to and even coming out as trans in my last year didn't cause me any troubles. even the old teachers who never saw a trans person (that they knew was trans) before me did their best to respect my pronouns and identity without judgement. and all that in Poland, a country not exactly famous for being inclusive.
but i got insanely lucky, school can be tough. my heart goes all to those who's joy of learning got dulled by others
I wish that all schools were like that, everywhere.
I'm really happy to read that you had as positive an experience as realistically possible :-)
I wouldn’t have hated school if that was part of it
I had friends in school and it still fucking sucked
The best part was music class and gym
College was better because people were more mature and in my experience the friend groups were more stable and less drama
Still hate school
And I can still die of laughter at work
Hah! As if the teachers would let you sit in the back. Up front, dead center.
That was literally mandated for me in my mainstream classes by my IEP
What kind of mythical teachers did you have that actually gave a damn about an IEP? (/s but not really)
Highschool was fun as fuck but the school parts were torture. So boring and I was tired and hungry.
School was great. Short days, long lunch and breaks. Loads of holidays. Had an hour of exercise thrown in every few days. Loads of people to talk to. Different things to learn.
Hated certain classes and hated being a child at times.
Last couple of years of highschool was awesome. Dropped all the shit classes, people suddenly treated you better because you was a young adult had even more time off! Like fuck 3 hours of work a day was unreal. (Where is our reduced workforce efficiency gains!)
But I agree with the other guy uni was much better. More drinking, more fucking more independence. Uni was the dream.
My last year of high school was the best year of my life.
I hated school, which is why I rarely attended. If I was there, I was stoned and sleeping.
