Re:Am I the ONLY one? (Score 1)

I hope you aren't. For me, middle school was hell. But during high school (i'm now a senior) I learned to love and eventually like myself -- yes there is a difference. Do i give credit to my school? Some. I had been in public schools up until my freshman year so i've seen both types of schools and they're not really that different (in my experience). I am really lucky to be a member of the Class of '99 at my school. We have set records across the board: the highest entrence exam scores, the highest average GPA, the highest average pSAT scores, the most National Merit Scholars, the highest SAT scores, and records for the number of people taking and doing well on AP tests. But we're not just brains -- we've lead our school's sports teams to local, state, and national rankings (and our sports teams have earned recognition for ranking among the top average GPA's for their various sports in the state). And yet the class of '99 will not be remembered for any of these achievements -- we'll forever be remembered as the class with no spirit because we refuse to waste our time on intermural competitions and won't bother to cheer at rallies. It's actually quite funny when they call on each class in turn to see who can cheer the loudest and they get absolute silence from the class of '99.
