Sorry Pickles I have borrowed your brain out of curiosity. It's crazy up in here!

What was high school like for you?! Popular? Studious? Private/comprehensive?

And depending on age, what did detentions look like for you if you were a bad bitch at times like me?

We didn’t call it high school in my day. That name seems to have crept in from America (and Scotland. For some reason they were always called high schools up here too).

I had a lot of friends so school was pretty easy for me that way. I hated it though! I’d try everything I could to avoid going and I was probably more of a shit than I should have been which I’m not proud of.

Worthing

I had a great childhood. Made many friends at each school I attended (I am still in contact with a lot of them). I did well in most lessons and some sports (football, badminton, table tennis, athletics specially). Had a good rapport with teachers and was never in trouble. All this despite me being one of the quietest pupils you could ever have met according to my school reports.

Horrible.

My headmaster was a pri*k that had a Cane mounted on the wall. At breaktimes you had the cruel ones that used to smash footballs at you and the teachers wouldn't intervene.

We had the mean girls that would hide my sanitary products and I'd be trapped in the loo and be late for classes.

I was successful academically, at sport, but hopeless with making friends.

Mainly because I was academic, I didn’t smoke, I did drink but because I behaved I was alienated. I contributed to this by reading books and newspapers, liking rock music and mixing with older people as I liked the conversation. I was Head Boy( olden days, they existed,) at junior, lower school (13) and the whole school (17/18)

I hated it and would never attend s reunion even if I had been asked. (I never was )

Always found myself to be anxious and misunderstood now I look back. At the time though, secondary school felt okay and fun. College was slightly better.

University undergrad years were some of the best years of my life and it was like a true “finding yourself” movie type of thing.

I absolutely hated it, I constantly picked on and bullied, the popular girls humiliated me for fun, a couple of the guys I called "friends" often turned on me because they thought I was an easy target. Teachers turned a blind eye to the bullying, one of them lied to my parents during a parents evening. They refused to let me play an instrument despite passing the music aptitude test. I got partnered with an asshole for my Drama GCSE exam who ruined the exam and left me getting a pity because he didn't learn any of the lines.

School was nothing but a toxic environment for me to be in.

I did go to high school, in Arizona, USA.

It was alright. I was very studious… it was an escape for me. Could have gone to any university I wanted given my GPA. But my dad wouldn’t let me become a pilot so I wasted his money studying something else and switching majors and unis… stupid move, but I got to see many places and meet many people!

I had zero confidence and was always seen as a kind of Ugly Betty.

Stand and Deliver with Edward James Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips is a film from that time and it inspired me.

Pretty average across the board to be honest. Never got in trouble but wasn't the top of the class either but passed all my GCSEs pretty easily.

I would say that I found it tough to fit in and friends as I drifted away from primary school friends so spent a bit of time just trying to get into different friendship groups but never really felt like I belonged and did feel like a bit of an outsider which some were done with and were nice when they got to know me, but others weren't so great.

School was good. I was rather quiet but got on with mostly all the rest of the kids by keeping under the radar. I’d be the one ‘rescuing’ other kids, they’d turn to me - I was ace at coming up with plausible stuff to get them out of trouble

Got on with the teachers too (even the one that tried it on during latter years…)but was most definitely not teachers pet

so all in all thinking back - it was good

Well, it started great, as I was the tall, blonde, blue-eyed, intelligent, personable girl who wasn't bitchy.

Then I became depressed and didn't want to be there.

I left before I did my O Levels and didn't go back to education properly until I was in my late 40s.

My outlook on education was different by then and I realised gaining qualifications was wasting my energy and gave up.

In another life I'd have a degree and a profession.

I liked, and was liked by my friends.

I got on well with the teachers.

I did find some people were jealous-or annoyed?- that I was always the one putting my hand up first with the correct answer or getting the highest marks in every subject, including the technical subjects.

I started dumbing myself down to give other people a chance.

It was easy for me to leave, and I felt much happier once I had left.

I went back to college for a while, but the damage was done by then and I couldn't concentrate.

I'd go back to primary school in an instant; you can keep secondary.

Maybe I should have taken the 11+ and gone to an all girls grammar.

I found school easy. Too easy, really. Sailed through GCSEs with zero effort and A grades across the board. So when it came to A levels I didn’t know how to study. I sailed through again but didn’t get the grades. Only got into art school on the strength of my portfolio and gift of the gab. So when I got there I knuckled down and put the work in. Scored distinctions every year and left with a first.

So apparently the secret is to actually give a shit and work hard. Who knew?

I was pretty disruptive in class. I was friends with popular kids and not so popular kids. Didn’t mind hanging out with or talking to anyone. I really enjoyed secondary school and actually I think it’s meant that when my little brother or other people have come to me with issues or bullying and things like that it’s really alien to me because I didn’t see it, experience it or partake in it. Lots of privilege.

So lots of experiences that I had at uni that friends said were familiar to them from school were really shocking to me.

Alright I'll tell you mine already!

Popular got along with everyone but also got good grades. There were 4 sets and I was in 2 for every one of them except English where I sat next to the hottest girl in the year.

She didn't play footsie with me but I did with some others and once got caught and my parents had to come in

All in all a good time though. I stopped playing football early on and just became exactly basically as I am now which is however you want to describe it but usually centres around tedious but lovable? Can we go with that?

It's quite funny, I see people that were bullies (some subtle some blatant) with kids of their own, displaying traits of the kids they used to relentlessly pick on for those reasons.

Seen a few of them getting on their high horse soap box spouting about being against bullying or those "threats" nobody dare pick on their child etc yet not once have they shown any kind of regret, apology or even acknowledged their behaviour back then.

Secondary school was fine in 1st and 2nd year. I studied,did well, generally behaved myself and got on with everyone. We had a big friend group.

By 3rd year I started to become aware of the shitty behaviour that went on within the friend group and pulled them up on it . This choice ended with me distancing from them and sticking with one friend.

I remember being bullied by 2 girls that year. They would do things like throw my bag out the 3rd story window and then speak in Lithuanian to each other,whilst laughing at me.

I recently met a girl I hadn’t seen from school and we got chatting and she was astonished I didn’t realise i was as popular with the girls as I was ( I still don’t pick up on signals it has recently been said - by someone on here!!)

The girl from school said i was ‘that guy’ at school all the girls fancied - i had long hair, was good at most sports I tried , a martial artist, and played in a band…and funny… so school for me was great - i found the work easy if i was interested.. and got involved in all sorts of stuff … not the best years if my life but definitely not an awful time.

Fairly ok, I was the quiet hidden intelligence one, drifted easily between friend groups. Passed all my gcses with good marks, only issue I had was my arsehole maths teacher who wouldn't help with some of the work as I wasn't as advanced in knowledge as some of the class, I understood most of it but struggled to put it in practice, I was given the option to drop maths and take another subject or leave.... I needed my maths a level for my career choice so no choice but to leave and went into work. Only the past year thanks to work have I gone back into study and gained qualification towards a career far different than I planned to. I've just passed a btec level 4 diploma which is the equivalent to the first year of a university degree. And now work as a registered clinical professional.

Came to England when I was 15 so my English education was a nightmare. Coupled with raging undiagnosed neurodiversity’s it wasn’t easy.

However my classmates were brilliant especially in six form as we would all go out together. Had some fantastic times.

I went to one of the top grammar schools here. Clever & studious (you pretty much had to be to be there at all), excelled in the sporting side of things, and was seen as a bit of a teacher's pet. The reality was I just didn't want to get into trouble and I am, by nature, a people pleaser.

I ran on the periphery of the in-crowd but always suffered a degree of imposter syndrome - I was neither one of the pretty girls nor one of the rich kids. I did have lots of friends though, and I'm still in touch with some. One of my oldest school friends recently described me as being "impossibly cool" in those days. I never saw myself like that at all.

I baled out before finishing my A levels but overall I have good memories of my time there; my oldest child attends the same school now.

Went to a Grammar school where sophisticated brutality was not only tolerated, it was openly encouraged. I rebelled against it and got thrown out after two years. Then went to a Comprehensive that had a terrible reputation, I know of ex pupils of my age who are still scarred by it. Some claim it was some sort of social experiment. I sailed through it by giving the impression I was off my head.

Incredibly uninteresting and not very engaging for me (bar a couple of subjects). Often in trouble, often in detention. A total Misfit that most kids didn't get or wanted to be associated with until later years. Many teachers who thought I was a total waster and a couple who thought I was rather brilliant. A special needs department who really didn't know what to do with me and thus a waste of all our time when I was in special needs. Also a little demoralising when you kind of know your kind of smart and everyone else in your class has really heavy and seriously noticeable learning difficulties. In those days being carted off to the special needs department away from the rest of your year group did help your public image let's say.

On the plus side I loved Chess club and playing for our rather successful team (we used to also smash the local Public schools as well as the other State schools). That was full of other odd kids like myself, I felt at home there hiding at lunchtimes from the mainstream. Also I loved playing Rugby for the school. This was hugely beneficial in terms of developing my social skill (or to some extent masking skills) and getting me phyically active. It was gateway into being more accepted and understood by others in my year group. Also my gateway into playing club Rugby.

I did far better in my exams that predicted or even I expected (considering put little effort in). In my mind school was just this big boring holding area until I could get myself down to the Armed Forces careers office. I went on to have a successful military career in Electronic engineering finally learning and doing something that intrested me technically and fulfilled my desire for travel and adventure.

I guess school just isn't for everyone.

Perfectly good. Both fun and good grades. Still see the odd friend from back then. Teachers also good and caring. Sadly a lot has changed since then and both kids and teachers seems to me to often have a much harder time these days. It's all the other stuff going around in society, politics etc that often influence life at school which in a utopian way should be a great and happy life.

This is going to come as little surprise. All of it is a tad predictable.

Anyway, I loved it. Private all girls school. Got in through a scholarship, one of my proudest achievements. Spent a lot of time in the library - the librarian was amazing and would allow me to read the books that were meant for sixth formers only. I didn't drink, smoke or do anything like that. Head girl, first violin in the school orchestra. Played netball.

I worked really hard - it was a good escape for me. Got along with most students, still in touch with a core group of them even now - over a decade later. Going to one of their weddings in the Autumn - it's going to be a reunion of the TwonkyTits.

Some teachers I really liked and appreciated them.

I also fell pregnant and just totally fell out of love with education, people etc etc.

School was rubbish, but did love my last yr of school, lets just say the sex education classes was very visual and realistic

I hated the comprehensive school, leaving there was one of the best days of my life.

Even worse, the kids that made your life a misery now want to be your friends on Facebook?? I never accept.

I was friends with everyone.

Class clown mostly. But also sold contraband to the lower years. Bribery to get out of homework. Knew the breaks in the fence for smoke breaks. Spent a lot of time in corridors - mostly having been removed from a lesson, but was adept at changing that to “running” errands if the head teacher was about (avoiding a lecture in his office).

Spent progressively less time once I managed to convince the school transport to drop me to the pub at lunchtime… (got the school swot to sign me back in)

School was ok, I had friends there. But drifted apart after leaving

I stayed in contact with the guys that joined the army but went into different trades and regiments.

"Sorry Pickles I have borrowed your brain out of curiosity. It's crazy up in here!

What was high school like for you?! Popular? Studious? Private/comprehensive?

And depending on age, what did detentions look like for you if you were a bad bitch at times like me?"

Hell. Couldn’t get out fast enough. Thankfully there was a tractor seat that allowed me to do so. R

Tolerable. I excelled in the subjects that interested me, did okay in others. I was House Captain and did a fair bit with the cadets.

I was quite quiet and studious, not one of the cool kids...

It wasn't a very good school typical 70s comprehensive. I was a rebel and wouldn't learn anything although there was one teacher that did get me and he was very good to me. Don't think I learnt a single thing all through secondary school. I did have plenty of friends though and was never bullied

My 1st secondary school I was a lovely little geek, 2nd one after we moved I was an absolute cunt and didn't go, had an older boyfriend and spent my days drinking and smoking as you do.

When I got my head screwed on (many years later) and went to uni I was back in lovely little geek mode.

School was the happiest point in my life. I had everything. If I could relive that part of my life I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Back then it was a joy to go to bed and wake up because it meant that a great day was in store, if it was a weekday that day was school. If it was a weekend that day was video games. However in adult life I sometimes just cry before going to bed at 5am because the next day is going to be nothing but sadness and pain with no hope of improvement. In adulthood there is no happiness, no joy, no hope and nothing to look forward to.

I was somewhat popular as I'd hang with pretty much everyone, played football regularly for the school team, kissed a few cute boys, got along great with the teachers and I came out with great grades.

Loved school, popular probably due to sports tbh

Had detentions often, mainly with a teach named Miss Knight. She was sexy as fuck and always had a wank when I got home thinking about fucking her in detention Lool

couple, us we him her.

Traumatic.

I changed schools often due to parental issues beyond my control.

Subsequently I was always the new kid which meant lot's of bullying, missing large amounts of education ended up in a comprehensive in south west London that was akin to gladiator school and apparently I was one of the most disruptive pupils they had, even though for the most part I was just defending myself.

Gang violence and racist attacks were a weekly occurrence.

Fucking school hated it from primary to last day at secondary.

The latter years of secondary school were great!!

I would wear an A line skirt on top of a tight thigh high mini skirt and once on the school bus, the A line skirt would be in my bag. On the fishnets would go along with the black eyeliner
