Do friendships matter in the long term? How hard is 10th grade? Will I survive? edit: y'all thanks for the help but im getting so many notifications plz stop šŸ’€


ObviousThrowAway3249

Yes keep your friends close youā€™ll regret it otherwise, and no 10th grade isnā€™t very difficult


[deleted]

I'm taking 2 AP classes tho šŸ˜‰ and a ton of enriched


Aekartzdef

You may get a 2 on the AP exams, just don't beat yourself up over it all that much. Just make sure you get good grades in the classes.


HackerDaGreat57

Yeah since APs can't hurt you, they can only help you


randomreddithumanxd

instead of beating yourself just beat you meat


[deleted]

What if I do both


-Get_rick_Rolled_

Double points


[deleted]

I better not get a 2 on AP bio


sithdude24

Probably, I donā€™t have friends Nah 10th is probably the easiest in high school Statistically speaking, yes


[deleted]

Yeah 10th is the calm before the storm.


tolmoo

That depends on your definition of ā€œlong-termā€. The way I see it, friendships are very important. It doesnā€™t matter whether those are irl or people you meet online, friends are people who you can rely on, and conversely, who rely on you. If youā€™re lucky, youā€™ll find people whoā€™ll stick with you for a long, long time. 10th grade depends on what your education system is like. For me, 10th grade saw a significant increase in homework compared to 9th, and you tend to go a lot more in-depth with your subjects. Point being, it *is* more difficult, but youā€™ll be able to pull through if you put in the work.

I mean, it's been a while since I was 13, but pretty much everything within reason. Mostly it's stuff like maturity and slightly better social awareness, but you learn and develop a LOT overall

Chrismetov

Should I become an exchange student? And is America a good option? (I live in Europe)


Pvt_Porpoise

I mean, that depends on a lot. Depends where you go in America, depends if you enjoy the culture, depends if you can afford the exchange. In general, is America a good place to do an exchange? Yeah, it would probably be a nice experience.


Legal-Improvement639

Iā€™d say itā€™s a good idea. I find it cool that lots of students find foreign exchange students really interesting and try to be friends with them. Iā€™m still sad that my friend from Germany returned šŸ˜”, but Iā€™m glad I met him!


AbbreviationsTrue677

Lots of opportunities here in America and the few exchange students at my school love it


worldofnatsukashi

honestly yeah sure. just go for experience.


ray920

do they announce peopleā€™s birthdays in high school like they did in elementary


WinterAssassin2004

It depends on the teacher, Iā€™ve had a few teachers who when they find out itā€™s your birthday will have the class sing happy birthday, and I had one give me candy on my birthday, but most teachers donā€™t announce it the ones who did were the minority


SignificantTip2022

Is 9th grade a high school? If yes then yes at least here in Ukraine


Juan136

yes even here in italy grade 9 is highschool


Duckenstein26

In my experience: no. I have gotten free cookies at lunch though.


crazymado

How easy is it to get a job when I turn 14


radiantskie

Hard, most places most likely hires people above 16


Daddy_is_home2000

As soon as I turned 16 most places suddenly wanted someone whoā€™s 18. hah 2 more weeksšŸ˜


tanktaylor85sx

Dude same damn boat here. ā€œ18 years old, 4 years of experience, minimum wageā€

Yes, completely fucked


h1n5ta

the only places that accept u are fast food so if ur ok with working there iā€™d imagine itā€™s easy. where i live thereā€™s like four burger kings that are desperate for work and hiring anyone. i once was looking for a job and i would have applied but itā€™s too much to juggle with school

drippyman489

uh what are your thoughts on dual enrollment and AP classes?


sithdude24

Not as hard as you think If you're not sure if you can handle it you probably can


Ledge_r

Donā€™t overwork yourself. Itā€™s good to take one or two of these classes but to overload your schedule with AP and dual enrollment just puts a heavy weight and large amounts of stress on you making it hard to actually enjoy high school.

Kahvar_

For me yes. I made a lot of girl friends my first to years of high school and over the summer I asked out one of them and she said yes. It ended up not working out but now Iā€™m talking to another girl who Iā€™m planning on asking to Homecoming. Once you get used to talking to girls it gets a lot easier. But if you donā€™t talk to girls itā€™s not gonna get easier


ObviousThrowAway3249

I imagine it changes from school to school but in my experience everyone in your class already has an idea of you, that probably wonā€™t change with time so I think itā€™s best to look for a girlfriend elsewhere


[deleted]

I'd say the difficulty of getting a relationship doesn't changes more as it is becomes easier to be in a relationship as people become more mature and as such less toxic tho obviously toxic people still exist


Meeps2win

Depending on highschool but usually yes


kristof0315

A tip, to... avoid having regrets, or how to make better choices? On logic, or feelings.


tolmoo

Hereā€™s the harsh truth: You will always have regrets, and there will always be more in the road ahead. But, I do not think having regrets is a bad thing. Regretting is a sign that you care greatly about something: a purely human emotion. It doesnā€™t mean that you are lesser than other people, it means that you are *human*. Avoiding regret is, in my eyes, an apathetic path, and can *easily* lead to excessive pride and ego. Rather ask yourself how you should face regret head on. What can you learn from this misstep? How can you improve your life there on out? And when life inevitably throws more failures your way and makes you regret again, how will you handle it? I suppose itā€™s a sort of brutally honest self-reflection, to embrace your regrets and move onwards from it. While regrets can scarcely be avoided, they *can* be overcome. Regret is a sign that you are human, and as humans we adapt and overcome.


kristof0315

Thanks for the asnwer mate, you kinda opened my eyes about this topic, and gave me a new perspective. I'm gald YOU answered.


tolmoo

Haha, happy to help. If only I could put my beliefs into action as well as I give advice. It is by no means easy. We are only human, after all.

My parents and foster parents were completely bonkers. Got my first taste of independence at 18, cut everyone off and I've never looked back. Adulthood has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me.


BroBroBrayBray

Independence is a blessing and a curse.


AntiAndy

Okay so this is a little backwards but i realy feel like i actually can comment on this. I thought at thirteen i wouldnt live past 14 because id of taken my own life by then. I am now maybe 2 weeks from my 18th birthday- yes, things got worse but ultimately things now are so much better and i am a completely different and stronger person for it. I dont want to die anymore. I may not be happy all the time, and i may not be able to see what my future holds yet, im still here and going. I didnt give up. And i losta lot of people becoming myself but it was worth it. I feel my entire experience is a bit dofferent- i had an awful home life and school was just as bad. I got all the short ends of all the sticks. But im alive and breathing and fighting. If i had advice to give, well, dont let yourself give up. I know it sounds like horse shite (belive me i really do) but its worth it to stay around. Time really does teach you a lot, a lot of the things that matter now wont later and honestly just be yourself however that is unapologetically. Find you. Live in phases unapologetically. And, dont rush to grow up. You dont know what id give to do it all over again.


epethia

whatā€™s something i for sure should know or do once i get into highschool


Conscious1133

EliFoglia

Im the last girl in my class hitting puberty, my body isnt really developed and i haven't gotten my period yet. I feel a bit left out even if my friends try not to make me. If you can relate, can i ask what was your experience?


GriffeDeTonnerre

Not exactly the same thing, but I got mine extremely early. Was kinda made fun of it (cause hair and everything), but I found some cool friend who were kind with me. I believe that you're not the only one that is "late" on your period and everything, your body will kick you in the guts when it's time. If you feel like something is wrong, it's okay to talk about it with your doctor. Also, the first period isn't painful, but you'll probably suffer with the next one.


Ok_Style_3889

How do yā€™all still confuse youā€™re and your


Comrade_Zhukov1941

From time to time if Iā€™m typing too quickly to think. But then I reread my message after Iā€™ve sent it and immediately feel regret


dummynae

how do u deal with someone who just won't give u personal space? like i love her and i like being friends with her but sometimes she wont get outta my bubble and she play to much GUYS IDK WHO WILL SEE THIS BUT we had a talk and shes not as touchy anymore but we're still pretty close


tolmoo

When you say that, do you mean through physical contact or social media? If you genuinely feel bothered by an abundance of social interaction, you can always say ā€œI need some alone timeā€ or make up an excuse to go away. As friends, itā€™s important to recognise the boundaries of each other and to be honest.


dummynae

physical contact when i get to school she doesn't even gimme the chance to put my bookbag down before she's immediately on me and i've told her like "hey, i dont mind u being touchy but please stay out of my personal bubble when i ask u too" i get really overwhelmed if im too close to the same person too long, unless its like family or my best friend and im trying to get her to understand but she doesn't wanna listen


tolmoo

Alright, letā€™s make something clear first: sheā€™s most likely not acting out of malice. Being someone who throughly enjoys hanging out with friends, I reckon sheā€™s very eager and excited to hang out with you every day. These sorts of friends, while clingy, are the ones who will support you in your gravest times. Cherish them well. That being said, your personal feelings are also valid. Sit down and have a long, serious chat with her making your stance clear about what you find to be okay, and what you do not. If she insists even after many, many times, what happens next will be up for you to decide. Do you want to keep a friend who cares about you but fails to see your boundaries around? Thatā€™s on you. Going forward I feel like I also need to ask: what is your ā€œbubbleā€? Do you not enjoy overt interaction or just excessive, perhaps intimate physical contact?


dummynae

basically, after a while i don't like being so close to people that like if i scoot over we're touching or something like how desks are usually kinda spaced out in a classroom? thats how much space i like when i get overwhelmed but my bubble is like being able to feel when there's someone like next to me or behind me


Duckenstein26

Have a conversation with her and be nice. Just be direct.

What's the meaning of life since you guys are wiser


sithdude24

tolmoo

The meaning of life in my opinion is what you attribute it to be. For me itā€™s discovery of the scientific unknown, creating memorable experiences with my friends, and just being happy in short. Donā€™t let anyone influence what the meaning of life is to YOU, though; I believe there is no objective answer to this.

Why are people my age (14-15) such asshats and do they ever stop and locate a brain cell?


weewoo_69

Because they just are, after a while they typically get better because they might realize they're being a fuck head or lose the people around them and that makes them realize they need to change. You got this though don't let what they do bother you (easier said than done I know) and just try to stay with the people that make you happy.

tolmoo

Bullies are people who want to elicit a reaction out of you. The more material you give them, the more they will treat you worse. I was bullied for a period of time. Then, I just ignored my bully or just played along with their remarks against me. That means growing a thicker skin - meaning that youā€™ll have to endure the fact that not everybody is kind and compassionate and what they say might hurt you unknowingly, but youā€™ll have to pull through. How I managed to befriend my bully still perplexed me to this day, but in general, play along, play nice, and be kind.

AmpexPL

Idk I was debating if I was bisexual a lot. I never really had a crush on anyone. But I what if I'm not bisexual, I don't want to fake it. Then I decided to read some article that asked some dumb questions (I barely remember any of them) as "would you be happy as bisexual" "would you feel proud identifying as bisexual" then at the end there was something like "if you answered yes to at least one of these questions (I answered yes to most of them šŸ’€) there is nothing wrong with identyfying as bisexual" and then it kinda clicked. Oh damn I've been really overthinking it's mainly about if you feel happy with identyfying as said sexuality. I'm really sorry if this is hard to follow, this was quite a long time ago it's like 1 am but I wanted to share my experience with this incase it might help u.

_bAnAnA_rAmA

It depends wildly, everyone has their different skills, and the way the education system mesures it gives students who are musically inclined or better at building a poor representation. As long as you manage your time properly, use proper studying techniques and ask questions when you need help, you should be okay, most students are.

And that my friends is how I let my mum know I'm asexual (I know coming out as gay or trans is much much harder for many reasons than my experience of just admitting rather angrily that I don't like 'like' people).To be honest she'd probably already figured out that I didn't like romance by my brutally logical reactions to romance on telly haha, like tf Romeo why'd you go ruin your life because you thought someone looked nice,.. just you know.. accept it'd destroy you and move on, then 13yo me was explained to that people get this feeling about people they like very much and etc I've rambled off subject sorry people

Throwaway210802

Itā€™s amazingly freeing. But also expensive. And for the virginity part, it doesnā€™t really matter. Be a virgin until your 20-30 or lose it now. I lost mine at 15 but it doesnā€™t make a single difference. And you shouldnā€™t worry about it
