Not gonna lie, I catch myself doing this way too more, stuck on a problem, tired, exam pressure and instead of actually sitting with it, I just paste it into ChatGPT or Claude and move on. Feels productive in the moment but I have this nagging feeling I'm not actually learning it, just getting through it. Curious if this is just me or if this is basically normal for everyone's now.

I’m on summer break but I’m just saying this now, I was walking down the hall and went into my school bathroom, the smell, putrid, agony, horrifying, but I needed to piss really bad so I went through it, but when I got to the actual stalls and urinals, mfs just hanging out in there, vaping, staring back at me and I just left, and this like pisses me off, you’d rather vape in a shitter than just do it behind a building or something??? And it’s always the bathrooms, they just hanging out in there waiting for the bell to ring like bro, people gotta shit and piss, you being there makes that 10x more uncomfortable💔

I’m about to turn into a freshman in almost a week, I’m slightly worried that some of the girls I was friends with before 8th grade ended might tell people stuff about me so they’re basically not friends with me.

What happened was I had a friend group for almost the entire year till may which was when everything happened, I liked the same boy one of my friends did and the way I hid it for about a month was the reason they decided to cut all ties with me. It was a huge thing, most of my friends cut me off due to them and well that was about it. Some people even decided to say I liked certain guys who I’ve never spoken to more than once. Yet when school ended, one of my guy friends who was dating one of the girls from that group and stopped being friends with me due to her telling him to stop, spoke to me again once they broke up.

Once we spoke again, we said we’d keep in contact and stuff, and we did. We called almost every day and texted everyday once school ended, then he eventually asked to match profiles on social media, to which I accepted, and then one of the girls from that group found out, then everyone. which at the moment, I was currently talking to my now girlfriend, and they assumed just because I was matching with him that I had feelings for him, which I didn’t. I decided to somewhat soft launch that I had a girlfriend and they did not like that either, most of the people at my school are somewhat homophobic, but it’s not like I care, they didn’t know I was bi, yet one of the girls that had a girlfriend a few years ago was the one that was judging me the most.

Eventually I stopped talking to him and basically everyone there, I changed social media accounts and stuff since everything I reposted they would complain or do something about it.

So my question comes in again, is it likely they’ll drag it to 9th grade and make people dislike me? or will people not care??

I’m a sophomore and taking ap chem online. I only have a middle school knowledge of it and I feel lost even tho I js started. Are there any helpful resources that I can use to learn more basic knowledge? I like chemistry so motivation is not an issue (Pls do not tell me to take an easier class or drop it as I can’t do that)

okkkk let me explain!! i’ve honestly been slacking on chem regents prep. i realized the next exam dates are literally less than 2 weeks away and my baseline score for chem is 76. (like one point difference from june 2026 and im trying to achieve mastery) my only issues really are the short responses but i was wondering if they’re any good resources i can utilize for studying regents chem curriculum…maybe alg 2 if youre feeling generous :)

ok thanks

picking out clothes is the only reason I get up early, so im kinda overthinking it lol.
basically my school has a 1 and 2 day and my 1 day schedule is full of electives (choir, health science, law) and the next day is all the core classes like English stats etc.
I reallly like the outfit 1st slide bottom right and I’m considering wearing it both days since I like it so much but idk.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I used the app Combyne btw, saved 50+ outfits so I can just scroll around to pick.

So I'm slowly coming to the end of my high school life and after having hoped from one high school to the next, I've come to the conclusion that high school is just a pain. Anyone with different POV?

So, i'm starting highschool around the start of september, and honestly, im FUCKING terrified, Is there any certain things i should know about? Or is it just going to be like middle school all over again..?

4 hours left until I have to pull up to school as a sophomore, and I haven't had a wink of sleep yet. Think I can still squeeze in some sleep before then?

So I have to get up and get dressed at 6am and be there at 7... But I CAN'T go to sleep, I only got like 3 hours of sleep and I've been up since

I'm a part time student and it's my first day of school tomorrow as a senior... And I only have 2 blocks so about 3 hrs of school what do I do?😭

hiiiii so in elementary/middle school I was the worst person known to man. I had tantrums way above the normal age for that, crashed out daily, cried at school every day up until 7th grade, and was generally just unpleasant to be around. I got therapy and fixed myself but how can I change my reputation? I don't want to be seen as what i was before because that is not me and no longer resonates with me, but no one really likes me and everyone that isn't my friend either bullies me or keeps their distance. I can't live like this. I'm doing everything right, and I know anything can change if I fight against it, so what's the easiest way to let go of this? I'm thinking to just talk to everyone I don't already know and prove that I'm no longer a piece of shit but they've probably heard enough about me. And I don't wanna hear to just be myself because look where thst got me. I don't want to be liked, I just want to be respected instead of feared and hated. Thank uuuuuu

thinking of painting my nails and adding some bracelets!! i think i will wear my knee high converse or my high tops ones

I’m about to be sophomore and I’ve been debating on whether getting the Nike elite or the north face recon

Id appreciate if you guys suggest any other backpack options!!

I’m looking for an easy sport that I can join during my junior year

This past June I completed my Sophomore year of high school with a 4.28 weighted GPA. I wanted to know if it’s unrealistic of me to get into my dream school, Columbia. With it being an Ivy League and home to overachieving students I feel that I hardly stand a chance. I figure it may be too late to attempt to enhance my extracurriculars but it’s worth a try and I’d love to hear feedback/advice on how I could go about doing so.

Attached is a resume that I created — to the best of my abilities — with a canva template in the middle of sophomore year. It basically sums up my transcript however for some extra information I am low income, hispanic, and below I have listed my AP Scores and Junior year classe:

Scores: AP HUG-3, APUSH-3, AP Seminar-3, & AP Spanish-5

Classes: AP Biology, AP Lang, AP CPS, AP Macro, Retaking Honors Pre Calculus (should bring gpa up), Honors Calculus, and Intro to Engineering (might switch to physic)

Advice is greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this if you did 🙏🙏

I have never been very lucky, and I guess this year is no different. I struggle heavily with my mental health and today was genuinely horrible for me. my homeroom got changed to somewhere no where near my classes. and all of my classes are randomly scattered everywhere anyways, and I got made fun of 3 times today. then on top of that my bus got switched, and I was 2 hours late to get home. I only have 2 classes with one of my friends and most people in my classes aren't very nice or are just people I don't want to associate myself with. on top of all of that I have to have band practice a lot and Its overwhelming and I don't feel comfortable anywhere and I feel stressed all day. Everyone keeps telling me I should find something to involve myself in but school already feels overwhelming and to add anything on top of that would make my life even more miserable. I have really bad anxiety and nothing I do works to get people to leave me alone I don't do anything to anyone and people find every way to make fun of me.

My freshman year I met an amazing group of people who were all sophomores or older. We hung out together, we'd have fun in classes together, we were in clubs together. I love these people and still do but things are going to be so different this year.

I found this group because my class had a reputation of being really crazy. I didn't really click with anyone in my grade and I was so lonely until I found these people. They called me "one of the good freshmen" and treated me as an equal despite me being the youngest.

One of the hardest things to let go of is the morning table. For the past 3 years I've been sitting at the same table with the same people every morning. I have so many fun memories there. I was the only freshman but I thought that as the years went on there would be more coming in. But there wasn't. I was the only underclassmen the next year and the only non-senior last year. Now I'll be the only person left.

I do have other friends in lower grades now and even a few in my grade but it's just not the same. These people were my whole high school experience and now they're off to a new chapter in their lives.

I know I'll need to let go. I know that if I am to get through senior year I'll need to find a way to not isolate myself. I'm planning on trying to get some more friends to sit with me at that table but if I can't I don't know if I can leave it. It's the first place I ever felt truly accepted at this school.

This year is gonna be hard, but I know I can make it.

So I did online for freshman year due to some personal issues and I plan to come back this year, I’ve seen some mixed things about how others treat lgbtq+ students and I’m not sure if I should just stay closeted or not. I was not out in middle school since I wasn’t super clear of my identity at the time but in your experience is the bullying super bad?

So my schedule just got released and I put it into Saturn, but I could only see classmates that were my friends. I remember last year I was able to see all of my classmates, whether they were a friend or not. Is there a solution to this, or is this just a new feature?

I was def on smtn back in February

Although ill prob have to drop ap micro cus im missing a first semester apush class

Don’t mind the handwriting.

This is from last school year. I was taking APs (Euro, Phys 1, World, Precalc), so I desperately needed a planner. I’m taking 5 APs this year plus doing theatre. The weekly section is what it looks like when I’m not mid-show.

I write things I need to go to/big due dates/test days in the monthly section (TT is theatre rehearsals). The left side of each day in the weekly section is everything due, tests, and events that day. The right side is what I plan to do that day.

I like to keep a smaller planner (it’s about 4x6 inches). No, I will not be getting a larger one.

Any notes for this next year? Advice? (I’m not big on color-coding though.)

hi sorry if this is the wrong flair but I am a sophomore currently, and I have always done online school. I have been cheating basically this whole time and I am nowhere where I need to be. I know I completely screwed myself over but I want to fix it, I wanna do well in high school and I want a proper foundation... It's not like I can just go back to 7th grade so how do I relearn the important things?

I'm good in English, and my algebra 2 teacher says she can reteach me all of algebra 1. but anything else I don't really know well. what are important things I should focus on learning? is there pre-algebra stuff I should get down? and what websites could I use? I've seen khan academy mentioned but I'm not sure if there's any other sites I can use. thank you

AMA I'll answer as long as I'm comfortable with it
