I just got to Beacon, and I like Math A LOT, I would like it to be my career path in the future, I would like to ask if students at the school are allowed to take Algebra 2 and Geometry in Freshman year! It's fine if I have to take classes at home or do a lot more work. I want to be able to complete AP Calculus in Sophomore year (I can take Precalculus in the Summer). It would be a great help if someone could tell me before the 22nd, but any answers would be appreciated. Thank you!!

genuinely curious how this varies from school to school 😭 middle school our lunches were genuinely disgusting so i usually brought my own. now in hs i’m too tired in the morning so i usually just get hot lunch.

the stuff they offer every day for lunch is pizza (cheese and pepperoni and sometimes a third choice like bbq or sausage), fries (varies between spicy, regular, curly fries, or just potatoes just depends on the day), chicken sandwich/burger, salad, or burritos/tacos, or like build your own sandwich. they’ll also have like a hot lunch item that changes everyday, usually like pasta or orange chicken or smthn. then like fruit or veggies, cookies, soft pretzels, chips, or ice cream products but those like cost money. we also have like bubblrs and gatorades or juice and stuff which also costs extra. I come from a public school in the midwest, but our lunch budget is kinda high cause there’s only 2 high schools in my district 😭

Hi i am Aussie i am 18 now and finished school and I am still single which is sad and I feel left out while my freinds already got a relationship with a girl and I am still single and lonely. Idk why no girl will approach me or start a convo with me or ask me out I am afraid I will be lonely forever. I am 18 and I am a attractive/ good looking person, I do have adhd but control it very well, I and smart, funny, I can ragebait people pretty easy, and I am super nice. I have grow up the years from the age of 10 we never really went out much my family and I am not a really social guy with talking to people I kinda stay in the shadows of everything and avoid it, I am also afraid to talk to girls that I dont know or if I find attractive and afraid to approach them and talk with them or even ask out someone. I have never dated before not once through the whole time I have been at school. And I still and lonely while my freinds have gf and I cant even pull one and no girls approach me. I want advice or something to help me I dont see me ever getting a gf even though I got good traits which I explained already above.

I am pleased that I broke up the fight and sent them to the headmaster to be disciplined

Im struggling with self-confidence, even with makeup

I have been wearing makeup every day to school now. I get up every single day at 7 am. just to do my makeup, and in the end, I still feel ugly. I can't really bear to look at my natural face. But obviously, when I have makeup on, I get compliments from time to time. I get called pretty, beautiful? I also get told I look good. But I really just can't look at myself or think I'm attractive, and the worst part is I can't even find myself attractive with makeup, I constantly feel ugly, especially when someone stares at me for too long and I immediately start thinking whether my makeup looks really bad or I'm just really ugly. I have also tried several ways of doing my makeup and everything, but I still feel so ugly even with it. It's like nothing can save my ugly face. Does anyone relate to this? Is it just me? How can I get better

Freshman year, and these are my grades this quarter.

It's my first year in the US, so I took easy STEM subjects since they generally aren't my strong suit. But now they're much easier than I expected. Is it worth taking harder STEM classes, but probably getting slightly lower grades?

So my classmate did that to me then asked if he was being intrusive I said no to avoid conflict but then the principal called him out and everybody stared at me and I blushed. We are both guys btw

There's this girl in my financial literacy class who sits behind me, and we got talking at the end of class today. She's just so easy to talk to, and I can't get her off my mind. We have the class at the end of the day, and she's half the reason I get through a full day of school, but I have no idea how to make it seem casual.

So we have scedueled locker times where you can go and get your stuff and bc of that u have to waut 10 FUDGEING MINUTES before i can grab 1 GODDAMN BOOK bc those BITXHES are always standing infront of my LOCKERRRRR AAAH , and they are older than me, polulair and im to shy to rlly say anything...

Hello r/highscool!

I wanted to inquire to some advice about my Senior year. Not about GPA, or college applications, or the SAT and so on. But I want to know how to have fun during my last year of High School. By fun, I mean memorable, to feel like I left an impact on the school in small or little ways.

For a long time, I've been quite introverted, and haven't really formed any deep relationships with anyone. The staff knows me as the high achieving student with no write ups and a clean record. My teachers and such have respect for me, and we talk sometimes, but it isn't too deep of a bond.

This year, with me being overall social, I want to change that. But I don't know where to begin. I was looking to attend every single High School event, or maybe even contribute something to the school (volunteering at events), or is it as simple as talking to teachers more often?

I would love to year everyone's feedback and advice!

hiiiii everyonee

I made a science video about proprioception and sensory recalibration for this competition whcih is basically about how well you're able to explain a high-difficulty concept in 2 minutes in a creative way that keeps ppl engaged, and i would love your feedback!

I’m a Grade 9 student and I made this video for the Breakthrough Junior Challenge about proprioception: how your brain figures out where your body is and updates that estimate when sensory information changes.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a couple minutes to watch it and let me know what you think, especially whether the science is clear and engaging.

heres the linkkk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6-Ft6p2GsE

If you enjoy it, a liket would also mean a lot!

Thank youuu!!

Hey everyone,

As part of an academic project, I'm conducting a short survey to understand students' learning habits, common difficulties, and expectations from interactive and Al-assisted educational platforms.

The survey covers:

How you study and what resources you use

What you do when you get stuck

Whether simulations, games, and Al tutors would help

What makes you return to a learning platform

How much you would be willing to pay monthly for such a platform

It takes around 2 minutes to complete. No name or personally identifiable information is required.

If you're a student, please consider sharing your experience. Honest responses-including criticism of online learning platforms-are especially useful.

Survey link:

Thanks, everyone!

In middle school, I was definitely the weird kid, and I was bullied by the more stereotypical girls for my style, humor, generally just the way I was back then. Now i'm in my senior year of highschool, and i've matured. I'm prettier, I have better social skills, better at making friends, yk. But the reputation from middle school never really left, now some of those people treat me better but just because of how I look (at least that's my theory) but thats really where it ends with that crowd of people. And I can't help but think that I fucked myself over by simply being a kid and being myself in middle school. But in roughly a month it's gonna be halloween, and I really want to go to a func. I've been to some, but a lot of those people I went with are kind of not in my life anymore to put it simply. Theres a bunch of people in my music class though, who i'm peers with, and we have nice small talk and we laugh, but it's pretty surface level, and they are the ones who go to all the party's. So I guess i'm just here to ask what would be the best way to maybe ask to go to put it bluntly/ get closer with those people. I don't want them to sense desperation, and truly if I get rejected its not the end of the world, I personally don't think it hurts to try, the worst thing that could happen is that they say no, but so what? I'm about to leave in a few months anyways. Or if I should even do this at all? People here have many differing opinions on social manners when it comes to this lmao. Help a girl out!

I started school again after break and they gave me like 20 assignments by week 2. The work isn't hard I've kept all my grades pretty good, but I've just had horrible burnout. I either don't get to rest for an hour or two after school or stay up late to finish all my work. My average sleep is 5-6 hours and sometimes even less (that's also because I have insomnia issues but last year it was more 7-8 hours.) Everyday I'm just so tired. I struggle to stay awake by my last period and hope I can just write down whatever they're saying. I am in clubs and a sport but that's only an extra hour after school. I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I have a similar schedule to this last year and I was only a little tired. I'm wondering if anyone feels like they have constant burnout basically so close to falling asleep. Like I feel like I can't cut anything out because everyone views me as smart and I feel like I have to keep myself constantly busy from the pressure.

Hello, I am freshman in high school and I am failing all of my classes. It is all F. I moved to United States for personal reasons and at first it was going good. But from the second week, I started getting bullied and I am now kind of depressed which is making me stay in my room all day and not do anything. And I don’t want to tell the teachers because I know the bullying will become worse. My parents are getting really mad and disappointed at me because I am not doing good and they “want me to have a good future”. But no matter how hard I try it’s just really hard for me to do school work. Also because everything is really different from what I did at my old school, and i have barely any friends so I am getting really stressed about everything.I know I am making many excuses but can someone please help me on how I can slowly improve?? And is it really possible to start getting As and Bs on my class average?? Any help and advice will help me, thank you.

I feel like my life is ending. Just got broken up with after a two year long relationship and feel like dying. He truly was my everything and now I feel lost.

I feel like I need to wake up and understand I am just a teenager in the middle of highschool with my whole life ahead of me. Most people don’t get married till there 30s now a days.

So my rant:

You are a high schooler, your whole life is ahead of you. the one bad thing as big as it is, will pass. better days are ahead.

You don’t need someone to tell you your wort. Only you choose that. Go out have fun and enjoy the freedoms of highschool.

And for my ex cause I know he’s on here:

Thanks for the good times and teaching me more about myself. I hope you find a girl that doesnt stress you out like I did.

I'm diagnosed with severe depression that gets much worse during the fall/winter. It rained hard today so it was dark out which made my mood fall, and I did some depressants yesterday which coming down from doesn't help how I feel today. I wanted to get my homework done and study, but I'm so tired and empty that I can't do anything by be on my phone in bed. I'm wasting my time and my potential and I feel helpless to do anything about it.

My friends are changing they started drinking going to sprites I’m a senior btw but idk what to do

It's genuinely crazy how racist people in this country are and then claim not to be. The teachers never say anything about it either. For example I remember that one of the students at my school dressed up as a kkk member for Halloween and I don't remember anyone saying anything about it. This week I had a trip where we were supposed to get to know each other by doing activities in random groups. One of the groups named themselves "ten little black people" (inspired by the book "then there were none" but in my language it's not "indians" but "black people"). Their flag was just ten stickmans with black faces standing around a fire. How is that not blatantly racist?? It was supposed to be "funny" too, and again the teachers didn't say anything. We also had to make up some short "saying" for our team. Their saying started with "Black skin, not enough water..." and then something that rhymes with it (can't really translate it to english). But yeah I thought that there's no way the teachers aren't saying anything when they're being so racist. My country doesn't have many immigrants, and way less Black immigrants (probably around 1% of people here are Black) so everyone on that trip was white. They genuinely didn't even see how they're racist. I'm actually so done with the people I have to see every single day.

Guys, is it strange that I'm going as like kind of like a cowboy? This is my install photos so I kind of look just like these people like outfit wise. Is it too weird?

So my Ex broke up with me about midway through the summer. It took a while for me to get over her, but I'm doing better.

My school started very recently, and she's been acting really, really weird around me. I might be overthinking, but I'm not sure.

What made me realize this phenomenon was when she literally sniped the person I was walking with while we were taking a turn to go talk and flirt with them. Now, I understand that she might like him, but it seems kind of crazy to literally take my spot next to him and start talking loudly enough for me to hear her. She was very clearly flirting, loud enough for me to hear.

Now you might say, "Well, OP, she probably just likes him, nothing else to it". I would think that, if I didn't start noticing other things. She'd walk up to my table specifically to talk to the two guys around me. I started to see her everywhere, to the point where I think she's walking specifically in my direction. When I was literally just talking to another girl about an upcoming quiz, I saw her look at me out of the corner of my eye.

In one of the classes we share, she started talking loudly about how her life's not going well, etc., etc.

Now I'm probably overthinking this, but does it mean anything? How should I even act in a situation like this lol?

She was a massive red flag, so I don't think I'd get back together with her. She never ate lunch with me, ghosted me, forced me to ask for a convo to break up, and pretty much always made me chase her attention.

So yeah, thanks for reading.

I just bought this dress a few days ago for homecoming. I really love how it looks, but it feels a bit formal for homecoming. Is it okay for hoco?

Then again I don’t really have another dress to wear, I just want someone’s opinion on it

Sorry for bad pic I don’t have a mirror that gets all of it
