"I agreed with my dad that I would finish High School, but only so he didn't end up in jail for my truency. I had a lifelong dream of becoming a famous dancer, but while I was keeping my father's ass out of a sling, I broke my leg and can no longer dance. Now I'm just a stripper because I fell into a deep depression and couldn't focus in school."

Get the High School mug.Sure, it's British and Scottish and MAYBE even Irish, but in Canada we call it secondary school too. It comes after Elementary School and Middle School, and in more eastern provinces, Junior Secondary.
Usually grades 9-12, or 8-12, 7-12, etc. sometimes too.
The equivalent of high school in the USA, secondary school is under-funded and under-staffed. Buying lunch is optional, and most people are forced to eat outside in all weather conditions because the cafeteria has around 10 tables. It's all catered but is very expensive to buy and not healthy at all. No uniforms or dress code unless people start dressing really risqué, and even then, there's probably no funding to make the uniforms so everyone just wears what they want. The teachers are nice on their good days and terrible on every other day but constantly hint at their small pay-cheques. Our electronics constantly get stolen and we have to get the RCMP in there nearly every day to arrest somebody. No homework because the teachers are too underfunded to get toner for the copier, and you usually end up sharing four to a textbook. It's terrible, really. The only thing we do is watch YouTube videos on the projectors.

Two students are eating lunch outside in -10 celsius conditions.
Student 1: "Today we had to do a science experiment with a voltmeter but the thing didn't work so we had to sit and watch it done on YouTube."
Student 2: "What do you want, that's secondary school for ya."

Get the Secondary School mug.A place that isn't as bad as it sounds. As long as you have a good group of real friends, and get decent grades in your classes, you should live, and come out unscarred. Have fun, but remember these crucial rules:
1. if you get a boyfriend/girlfriend make sure you don't cheat on them, and if you date someone who is lower on the 'food chain' then you, so what? as long as you actually like them it doesn't matter. if anybody says anything, just shrug and say "whatever" it'll show that your not a sheep who will be influenced by them, and that you do what you want, which is something they will look up to, and they will respect you for it.
2. Make sure you have a good group of friends, don't pick people based on how they look, how popular they are or anything, base it on the important things you based it on when you were young; do you have fun with them? do you actually like this person? can you trust them? will they help you solve your problems if you have them?
3. don't be fake - many people will be nice to your face, but then behind your back they will say horrible things, don't be one of them, because it will get back to whoever you talk about, and they will be angry, don't act like a person's friend basically, be honest, if they think your mean, just say 'Im not mean, im honest.' at least your not a lying two faced bitch that way, just an honest person.
4. dont lie about anything important. if your teacher asks you where is your homework, go ahead and say 'i left it at home' thats not too important, and you can quickly do it later that night and hand it in the next day. But if somebody asks you to find out if theyre crush likes them back, and you find out they don't like them back, don't tell the person they do. Thats just mean. youd rather be labeled as honest remember?:P
5. Populars will be populars, dorks will be dorks, you will be you. Populars will always be invited to all the parties, and be well known in the school, dorks will never be invited to any parties and half of them will be majorly picked on, while the others hardly anybody knows they exist. You, whoever you are, will always be you, don't change that, because someone will always see through it, and know your just a poser, and thats lame - be yourself, its the best choice, and you'll find your real friends, and be much happier with yourself.
As long as you follow these rules, you will live.

Many people complain that high school was awful, probably because they did not listen to any of these rules. Some of the dorks are so desperate to be popular they don't enjoy high school. If they just accepted who they wree and din't try to change, they'd enjoy high school. Populars on the other hand, will almost always enjoy high school, unless they were a poser. In betweens, aka the people who aren't dorks, but aren't mega popular either, almost always follow these rules, and come out fine.

Get the High School mug.A place where many will enter and few will graduate, run by the worse nursing instructors of mankind.

Get the nursing school mug.School that commences in the summer.
Even though summer school is in the summer, it is much easier to get an A because the majority of the students who take it don't do well in school anyway.

Get the school boy mug.A feminist school in Morristown New Jersey. Works you well but is very inside the box. Incredibly racist and unfunny students. I swear half of the school vapes. People are fake and half the teachers which are all female are lesbian with another teacher. I went here for 8 years and it is either a really good experience or it isn’t.
