 Was your high school as bad as in the movies? How was your high school experience?

You know these movies where a teacher walks into a classroom of gang members and street kids that barely know how to read. Was your school as bad as that?
How was your high school experience?

My school had about 10% of that "ghetto" feel to it. Most of the school was middle and upper class (excuse the pun), but there were lower class and some thugs as well.
I had a pretty awesome high school experience, at least after Sophmore year. Pretty minimal drama. The occassional fight by "Bubba" and some other braddahs who think they were all dat. Thats about it.

I grew up in northern utah. I was surrounded by over-achieving spoiled mormon kids. There was a pretty clear line between groups. You were either a really good kid, or a really bad kid. You can probably guess where I sided. I got expelled from middle school for smoking weed in the bathroom
Its not as polar as it used to be. Spoiled mormon kids pretty much run the opioid market up here now. Its a huge issue

No of course not... nothing like that.
At times there were unpleasant moments, but that's part of growing up.

My high school was like 25% preppy kids 30% rednecks(of which 5-10% were neo-confederates) 5% neo-nazis(partial overlap with neo-confederates/rednecks) 20% mormans 10% depressed emo kids who hated ERRYTING, 5% wiggers and 5% stoners/metal heads (ME HERE)
It was convenient because it was a couple of blocks from the Juvenile detention center, 3 blocks from the police station, and 4 blocks from the jail

In highschool I was the popular girl. One day I got Saturday detention in the library with the nerdy boy, the pot smoking bad kid, the jock, and the weird girl. We all shared the emotional details of our lives. The principal was mean, so we snuck out of the library and ran around the school without him knowing. Then Judd Nelson jumped in the air to a perfect fist pump freeze frame. It was crazy, you should have been there.

Werent you a boy in highschool?
My time was awesome. My best friend was very popular and I lifted along. We just smoked weed and got drunk all the time, also trying (and failing) to get laid. There were some classes as well.
Both of us got kicked out before senior year though

I went to high school in a small town. My graduating class had about 100 people. It was kind of cool because we all knew each other, but that had some downsides too, because if you fucked up then everybody heard about it.
We had party spots out in the national forest and we would drive around town and hit up the beach to find out which spot the party was going to be at. We switched so the cops couldn't find us right away. We had like +50 kids out in the woods around bonfires all the time. It was kind of magical.
We had an abandoned military base that we could roam around in and cause trouble and more drugs than any place I've ever been, besides that it was boring for me. I grew up in the Detroit area and wasn't happy to move to a small town and I didn't adjust and had a hard time fitting in because I was like 10 years ahead of these kids.
I was one of the poor ghetto kids, but I wasn't dumb. I just liked to cause trouble because I was a troubled kid. I did just enough work to graduate and get the fuck out of that place.

My high school was a low key version of the show 90210. Darren Star, the creator of the show went to my high school and based the show off of his own high school experience.
School was almost entirely wealthy and middle class. About 70% White (30% Jewish/30% Anglo/10% hispanic ) 25% Asian, 5% black.
I would say my high school is fairly well represented by the high schools portrayed in the mid eighties movies by John Hughes (Ferris Bueller, sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club)

If you’re set on finding your definition of Potomac, MD on air, you’d be better off turning to the fictional TV drama Beverly Hills 90210. Confused? The 1990’s series that follows a group of teens into adulthood is actually based on Potomac. The show’s original working title was Potomac 20854, but was later swapped out for the more widely-known zip code.

I had a Chevy citation.
The popular car everyone had to have in 1987 was a convertible Volkswagen cabriolet.
My friends dad had a cherry red porche 911 manual transmission that he didn’t know how to drive, So he would get me to sneak out of school and drive it with him while his dad was at work. It was like Ferris Bueller except we didn’t destroy the car and his dad never caught on.
For the most part people around here drive modest cars. It’s on the houses where they spend their money.

I had some hilarious high school moments with all the crazy kids.
One time our class was doing some group discussion in the library, and this raver chick starts talking about drugs. She starts telling everyone how cool her mom is and how her mom put "LSD right onto her eyeballs"... I just sat their quietly listening watching the teacher awkwardly overhear this discussion from a few feet away
Also had a hilarious science class with a pretty cool but funny/weird teacher. One day he came into class clearly butthurt, and proceeded to try explaining why guys get "friendzoned" scientifically. Apparently he had some long distance relationship that didn't work out. Another time in the same class after a big rave in town that some of the kids went too the teacher let one of them give a "glove lightshow" to the class, then another kid started chanting "Molly! Molly!" and the teacher stopped it and gave a lecture on stimulants
Yet another time in the same class a kid was trying to carve a big soda can into a bong right on his desk. Didn't take the teacher long to notice, he made the kid go throw it away while saying "I went to college man, I know what that is"...
And lastly in the same science class I witnessed one of the stupidest/funniest lies I've ever heard in my life. This really small kid was trying to impress a cute girl, so he started going off about how he "lived in LA and was a Blood", then "stole a car and went on the run" and had to "move north and hide out". I felt like I was going to have a stroke just trying not to laugh hysterically.
--------------------
Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky
You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by
I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me
I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

My school kind of did feel like high school in the movies. There were the different groups like the goths, the jocks, the band kids, the drama kids, etc. Except the jocks really weren't enemies with the goths or anything like that and people were generally pretty nice. There was only 1 black student there though which seems weird now looking back. I didn't really belong to any one of the groups but made friends with a lot of different types of people. I was the quiet kid though. At lunch time I didn't sit in the lunch room with everyone I would stand out in the hall with like 3 or 4 of my good friends. I'm not sure why that is I think I just didn't feel like I fit in anywhere, but again I really don't know why.
One memory I'll never forget which really did feel like a scene from a movie. In gym class I would sit on the side with 2 other friends and not participate a lot of the time. One time we were sitting on the ground watching people play basketball and this kid walked by and made a hand motion of like a noose around his neck and mouthed the words "kill yourself" to us for no reason. He wasn't a jock or a bully type of person either so I just don't know why he did that.
Also in ceramics class I literally just had no drive to make ceramics and just couldn't even think of any ideas for what to make. So I would sit there and not do anything. Eventually my teacher took me out into the hall and walked me down to the principals office and was kind of interrogating me like why aren't you doing anything? Are you doing drugs? I never did any drugs in high school except alcohol rarely. You working too much after school? And I just didn't have a reason and to this day I don't know why I was like this back then.

My graduating class had like 70 kids in it... so everyone knew everyone. It was very tight knit and small town stuff. All of the good looking girls got pregnant senior year or right after school.
If I had a chance to go back, I wouldn't.
Art classes were my solace. Especially ceramics and creative writing.
It was a very limiting experience because of the tiny population of the school. Also we got killed by all of the other sports teams because their schools were way bigger than ours.
Edit: Also lots of rednecks.

All-male catholic school. The students were good people, the system was shit.
There was always two main social groups between classes, sports people and everyone else. But these groups weren't at odds with each other.
Most people were decent, and the herd always looked out for individuals if shit went too far. That being said, it was a tough environment and you had to learn to hold your own; for instance, we had a thing called birthday beatings, where people would beat the shit out of your arms and legs if it was your birthday. The malcolm in the middle circle game came out around at that time too. The worst thing was rusty hooking, that game gave people PTSD.

There were a lot of private school kids around here with the local all male catholic school having the worst reputation - Georgetown prep. The infamous school of underage rapists like Brett kavanaugh.

Jesuits are the ISIS of that genre of schools. I don't know how many times I was threatened with being shipped off to those places if I didn't get my act together. "The Jesuits will sort you out!" It was definitely implied that they beat kids and put them in solitary confinement

Kavanaugh went to a catholic elementary school connected with Opus Dei. Right next to it is the school where the infamous spy Robert Hansen sent his kids. These catholic schools are connected to some bad eggs.
http://mobile.nytimes.com/2001/02/25/us/us-charges-present-a-paradox-the-pious-spy.html
Quote:
The Hanssens were adherents of Opus Dei, an elite conservative Catholic order. Opus Dei urges its members to attend daily Mass, and Mr. Hanssen also regularly appeared for evening prayer-and-confession sessions known as recollections.
While the Hanssens lived in a suburb of Washington known for the quality of its public schools, they chose instead to send their six children -- three boys and three girls -- to expensive private schools affiliated with Opus Dei.
Former colleagues said they would be shocked if Mr. Hanssen turned out to have spent the money he is accused of having received from his handlers in Moscow -- at least $600,000 in cash, the F.B.I. says -- on alcohol or fancy automobiles or women. Instead, they suspect, he probably used much of the proceeds from his spying to pay tuition at his children's schools.
The Heights School of Potomac, Md., which his youngest son, a junior, attends, charges annual tuition and fees of nearly $11,000, which alone would make a large dent in Mr. Hanssen's F.B.I. salary of about $100,000 a year. His older sons also graduated from the school, which will not say if any of the boys received financial aid. Calls for comment to his daughters' school, Oakcrest, in McLean, Va., were not returned.
I went to summer camp at the Heights school when I was a little kid. I had no idea it was a hard right catholic school connected to Opus Dei until the whole Hansen thing blew up.
