How was Highschool for you? Questions!

(1/3) > >>

Nikki:
My highschool year wasn't the best.. I use to get a lot of discrimination
I would like to know how was your Highschool year and which one was the best for you?
I had another question.. if I study to become a teacher do you think the school board won't hire me because of my sexual orientation or gender?

Thanks for reading and answering  :-*

Miss Bungle:
I hated school in general so my high school years were no exception. The only day that was bearable was my final day there when I graduated out of summer school (since I screwed around during my freshman year and I needed to make up the lost credits.)

Mr.Bungle-Everyone I went to Highschool with is dead

Not in Australia, and I am pretty certain of that.

Highschool was an interesting time for me.  Yes I was bullied to the max, I hated puberty, facial hair was a nightmare.  But it was from this time, around 13 years old is that I realised that I was different to all the other boys (was in a all boy school).  The guys saw me as the 'girl' as I am politely putting it, but as you can imagine they called me all kind of names.  Guys also love to muck around, wanted to put their hand on my breast, always finding opportunities to pin me down with other boys.  And of course, a few invitations to go to the toilet to relieve them.

Overall, I was a popular student but also caused a lot of problems in terms of the disciplinary teachers not knowing how to 'manage' me.  They sent me to counselling, and the teachers said that I should 'man-up' and project on being like other boys.  They wanted me to go play soccer and hockey, when all I wanted to do is talk about tv shows or the new eye-shadow that Max Factor released that season.

Some of you would find this interesting.  It was during that time I was in a circle of friends, at school and today most of us are transsexuals (and crossdressers) now :)  So it's great to learn that the universe brought us together even when we were all so young.  The support I got through that network played a huge part of me at that time.

crazy old bat:
It was so so, although I disliked one school I had to go to enough that I bailed on most of the year. I just kept to myself, avoided making friends and got through it the best I could. My senior year was best because I only had to go to three classes and then I left before lunch and went to work.

As for your employment question, that depends on how progressive the administration is and probably on how unfreakish you look as well.

  I got ten years on crazy old bat.  It was not a good time for me in high school.  I only missed one day of high school, but I kept up with it.  I dare not reveal my wish to become a woman.  One kid in my junior year, 1969-1970, did cut off his b###s and went around wearing a dress as she got the check out signatures from her teachers.  There was no sympathy there from my classmates who witness this nor the teacher signing her off. 
  It was my Astronomy and home room teacher who guided me through my senior year.  It was him who put his hands on my shoulders when I was about to cry with my head down on my desk and chastised someone in class, in front of the class, who called me a moron.  He said that I was the most knowledgeable in astronomy than anyone in his class.  He knew I had something that was afoot with getting a C average, but acing the PSAT.  Dyslexia was not known to teachers then for the most part. 
  From this, I do not recognize most in the yearbook on-line.  My picture is not in it because I could not afford the photo from the photographer.  I am listed there somewhere.  My Navy unit photo two years later is a different story.  I remember everybody in that photo, what they did, which squadron or ship's company, and where most of them come from.  If your peers be nice to you, more likely you'll remember the rest of the group, including the rotten apples.  That's funny, some who didn't show up in that picture of my unit were either in night check, sleeping, or the washouts.  The three screwups did eventually return to the shop, but they all really messed up later.
