I had a very difficult time in school--having to repeat 7th Grade & really struggling to get passing grades. Math & Science were my most difficult subjects. I struggled in High School as well--but I kept battling & ended up graduating with pretty good grades.
I had problems socially as well--& have really improved in that area over the years.

Negative socially, positive academically. I was your typical socially-inept nerd-girl.

 

[ItalianAngel]

I voted negative socially, average academically. I was very shy and was teased a lot in grade and middle school. My grades went up and down because of this.

High school for the most part was much better for me socially and academically.

 

[JPPT1974]

Shy and quiet as well as not too many friends
But then again it could be a blessing in disguise for me.

 

[SamanthaKing]

I sucked at early school, never had many friends, and wasn't very good academically, it wasn't until I got older and matured that I began to pick up. Still never had many friends though lol.

 

[skipper]

I sayed average to both, we moved a lot as a child so it seemed as if I was above average at some school and always trying to catch up at others I did make friends easily though but rarely got to keep them long before we moved again

My grades were always about average. But socially, school was a nightmare for me. People teased me from kindergarden to graduation. I was going to commit suicide in my last year of school. I was dark complexion and had a jerry curl. This was a beacon for the bullies to hoam in on. It wasn't until later that I found out that some of the boys in school had crushes on me.

 

[DeathLetterBlues]

Elementary school was positive on both counts and middle school was negative on both.

 

[Rebekka]

It was very negative socially - I'm still extremely traumatized by the awful bullying. Academically it was positive, I was always a good student.

I went to 3 different secondary schools as a teenager, my fist one I loved socially and academically, however I moved to another country and was bullied and I also missed learning my own country's history so to me it sucked academically. The 3rd secondary school I went to, I managed to make some friends and academically it was brilliant, it got me a place at a top University so I was really happy about that.

 

[JPPT1974]

I hated school as a middle schooler
But had a blast as a high schooler
Don't know much about primary school.

 

[BeachBlonde]

I miss highschool at times,was fun although for me I really struggled in 8th grade due to home problems but it got better.

 

[JPPT1974]

I hated 7th grade as I cried
All the time there as I had a hard time there.

 

[Thankful75]

Negative Socially, I had a hard time with bully's and being picked on. We moved alot too during those years, I attended 8 different elementry schools and 2 jr highs. As for my grades they were average academically.

 

[WannaWitness]

I just wasn't as popular as some of the others.

Grade-wise, I guess I did okay.

I hated grade school... I went to a catholic grade school that was filled with kids from the upper side of town. Mind you we lived in a blue collar neighborhood, but to the kids I went to school with you would think I lived in the projects. They were into what kind of job your parents had and what kind of car they drove. But, I loved high school!!!

 

[HeatherJay]

All of my school years were really positive both socially and academically. I had good friends, good teachers, and I made good grades. I was involved in lots of extra-curriculars, and was very involved with my church. I realize that I have a lot to be thankful for.

 

[shamrockmoon]

When I went to Jr. High...I specfically told them I didn't want academic classes but they put me in them anyway. I was too young to make that kind of decision. The first semester I failed English & math. They still wouldn't put me in lower classes. I barely passed 7th grade. They did put me in lower classes from then on. I was told that I didn't apply myself that is why I almost failed. No...home life and personal life sucked at the time...and I had no time or energy for school. I need to take care of home (me & my brother). I didn't have time to go to parties & dances. I was trying to survive emotionally. It wasn't a completely horrible time...I know others that had much worse...but it wasn't my ideal of what Jr. High should be.
