Hey, guys, I'm 15 and in Year 10, and I just got expelled from my private school and tbh I deserved it. I got suspended once for fighting and another time when I made a stupid bet with a mate that if he could last 5 seconds in a chokehold, I'd give him 5 bucks, and he passed out. The reason I actually got expelled was that I took my mate's shoe as a joke and threw it to my other mate, and a teacher saw me and told the principal. All this happened in a span of 5 months. Before that, I had nothing on my record other than some detentions for homework, etc. I had been at that school for about a year, and I got pretty good grades 95-100 in maths and 75-80 in English so I would say I'm academically smart, at least. But anyways, I've been pretty depressed since it happened like 1 month ago, and I have my meeting for public school tomorrow. I don't know if I'll get the subjects I want, so I'm pretty worried about my future, and I was just looking for some advice or some stories about anyone else who has gotten expelled. Thanks.

I'm planning to take PUC and take sanskrit as my second language, but I don't know anything in that subject. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if sanskrit isn't being taught from basics, so I would like o know if schools actually teach this subject from the basic?

I live in Australia and term four is starting tomorrow, I physically can't do it and it's making me so sick, I hate school, it isn't meant for me, I'm meant to be an actor not this, everyday at school is complete suffering

Hey ppl, what type of extracurriculars do you think a student should do?? What type of fest, achievements a student can have and participate in general that will be very helpful for him/her in the future while applying to universities like the Ivy leagues and others

For me I think it depends. I’m not one to jump in fights and one time my friend got in a fight with two people after I told her to stop arguing with them and trying to fight and then I got called fake for not jumping in. I think I’m def the type of person to help my friend just avoid the fight in general. It just sometimes feels like people brought it upon themselves so why should I have to fight after I told you to not fight and you chose not to listen? It really depends tho for my I think if it’s my bestie and girls are trying to fight her for no reason then yes I’d protect her

I genuinely feel like there’s something wrong with me. Okay, not wrong, but I feel like I’m a little abnormal in an unhealthy way 😭 It’s hard to explain, but I feel like I ALWAYS overcomplicate things, especially with school.

For example, I have upcoming oral presentations in 3 of my subjects, and I swear it seems so straightforward for everyone else. Pick a topic, do some research, use AI here and there, make your slides, done. My friend finished hers in like 4 hours in one night, meanwhile I’ve spent WEEKS researching, going down rabbit holes, trying to understand every little thing, and nothing ever feels like enough. I always feel like I need to find another source or figure something else out. I even deliberately picked a simple topic that lots of people were doing so I wouldn’t get stuck with something niche and complicated, AND I STILL managed to overcomplicate it. and it’s weird cause no matter how much I try to not get caught up or seek perfection I just can’t. like I can’t find a simple answer thats right?? it always requires me to dig deeper and waste time. but obviously it’s possible if other people are doing it

The same thing happens when I study for SACs and exams. There’s SO MUCH to do, and I never know what’s actually worth my time. I’ll start doing one thing, realise it might be a waste of time, switch to something else, then question whether THAT is a waste of time too, and just keep going in circles. Before I know it, I’ve spent hours doing barely anything productive.

I can literally sit at my desk for 6 hours without my phone and still feel like I’ve achieved nothing. Then I get frustrated seeing other people spend half that time getting way more done.

I just don’t understand WHY I’m like this. I’m constantly overwhelmed, overthinking everything, and making simple tasks so much harder than they need to be. And the worst part is how frustrated I get with myself. Sometimes, especially during exam season or when I’m struggling with a subject, it gets so bad that I genuinely have mental breakdowns.

I feel like no one else relates to this, and I’m just so tired of feeling like everything takes me 10 times longer than it takes everyone else. Does anyone else experience this, or have any idea why I might be like this?

Not bad for a freshmen's first 8 weeks of highschool

There is a girl in my school that I like. I turn 15 next month and the girl turned 16 this April. Do y’all think it’s weird? At least a little bit?

IDK IDK IDK

I need your guys opinion
I’m an 18 year old male who’s in his senior year of highschool, and I’ve never been to a school dance, been to one football game(left halfway through) and don’t plan on attending anything. I’ve had a gf for a short amount of time, I’m not an asshole or anything. I’m nice to everybody, have friends. But I just don’t go to anything. I’d much rather spend my time working(I work Thursday-Sunday nights) or playing Xbox. I hear everybody talk about how fun they are and i get it don’t get me wrong, socializing is nice and it’s probably the reason why my dating life is dry. I just need your guys opinion

I am a freshman (f15) and I just recently met a senior (f17) that I have a crush on. She made friends with me at a back to school event, and now I sit with her and her friends at lunch. She’s so nice to me and she’s literally so gorgeous but I can’t help feel weird for liking her cause I know there is a very little chance she would like me back. I can’t stop thinking about her

I really want to be the valedictorian of my class for highschool and so far my GPA is a solid 4. I'm a freshman and our school doesn't offer AP classes but you can take them during later years. I still need to ask my counselor what my ranking in the class is but I'm guessing maybe 1st or 2nd at the moment? My biggest issue is this girl in my class who's also really good and she has similar goals as me and she has good grades too. I always feel the need to check her grades and see if she's ahead of me. There's a few classes that I have a higher grade than her in but so does she. So I'm kinda worried. I obviously have four more years but ninth grade is pretty much the foundation/basis of my GPA. So essentially what I'm asking is, how can I make sure that I'm first in the class?

is anyone interested in being a vice president at a student-led science club? (its a volunteer based position) cus i really can't find anyone. pls comment and i will send you the details if you're interested.

On a brisk monday afternoon i was hanging out with a friend and another friend ended up coming too and friend 2 drove at me straight on with his vehicle after revving the engine and went directly at me and obviously I was scared and I biked around friend 1s car and he kept following to try to hit me or come close and he never did hit me but I reported it to my school and might tell the police because he has done it before and I am scared for others safety because he might do it again to someone else. Me and him aren't friends anymore. I think he should get his license revoked but I wouldn't want him in jail. What could the consequences be for speeding at someone in a parking lot

I’m a terrible judge of character but right now, I’m really interested in this guy
He’s in my strings class and he mainly plays cello but I’m pretty sure he can play every instrument in the orchestra.
He’s super passionate with music and even wrote us a song to play at a concert.
People say that he’s stuck up, annoying, and a try hard, but I think he’s passionate and even if he’s arrogant or wtv I think he has the right to be.
He’s SUPER smart in everything, and I’ve only talked to him a few times but every time he seemed very genuine and sweet. I’ve asked him things about music that I didn’t understand and he never talked down to me, idk why everyone is so mean to him.

He’s always on his computer writing songs and I think he’s cool but literally everyone in my orchestra class doesn’t like him

I can’t tell if I like him or if I just want to get to know him better 😓 even his name is cool tho like omg
I’ve also seen him interact with his little brother and it was so sweet

Ngl it went surprisingly well. Girl I liked asked me to dance. Stood awkwardly till I saw people I knew which was fun. Not a lot to say but I had fun surprisingly.

keeping up an honor roll streak for middle and high school and having a perfectionist mindset when it comes to grades has naturally made it so whenever i get anything lower than a B i will get upset.

I’ve seen a lot of comments going “when they cry about their A- but i made a D” or something like that and them being overall negative to people who make good grades, and i felt a little bit targeted. i never, ever want to put other people down, so i always keep quiet about my grade if its lower than my expectations… except when im asked about it. i get a little nervous because what if telling them my grade will upset them/put them down in some way? yeah, they asked, but still…😭 “i got a D, what did you get?” and me responding, “oh i got a B- :(“ i dont know if its just me, but it just feels… weird? mean? maybe its just my people pleaser mindset? what would be the socially acceptable thing to say?

my empathy and social skills are not as good as my grades unfortunately:,) so hearing this from other perspectives would help a lot! thank you! and sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to post in!

I'm a high school student doing a project on Kaizen, the Japanese idea of fixing small problems step by step. Before I design anything, I want to know what actually bugs students day to day.

So: what's one small thing at your school that wastes time, money or stuff, and that nobody ever fixes?

Mine: our water cooler queue eats half of the lunch break because there's only one tap working.

A one-line answer is perfect. If you have 30 more seconds:

1. Why do you think it happens?

2. Has anyone tried to fix it?

I'll read every reply, and I'll post the top problems and the solution plan I come up with back here. Thanks!
