what was the worst year of high school for you?

I won?t lie, high school was a wonderful time for me. I had friends, no bullies, and it was all around fun and interesting. That being said, I think the worst was my junior year. Junior year, from where I?m from, is cursed. At least one class mate dies in an accident, two in my graduating class died. It was horrific. I also fell into a bad relationship because I was young and didn?t know any better. It was the first time a boy said he loved me and you know how it is when you?re 16 and think you?re in love lol but it set me down the path to where I am today. If I had the chance to go back I don?t think I would change it, but I would be more cautious of the way I reacted to that boy

freshman year: everything was new to me and despite my bad grades i had friends i genuinely laughed and had fun with
sophomore year: the group of friends i had got closer and we hung out a lot. there were a couple incidents i had with teachers but overall an okay year. i also did track which didn't help when i was already coping with body dysmorphia
junior year: very fake year and i became really rude and started sh** for no reason. i was dealing with a lot of self hatred and i took it out on other people by talking behind their backs
Senior year: im in my senior year right now and the friends i had are mostly gone and i only have like one or two good ones. i also live alone so it gets super lonely tbh. im getting help with my body dysmorphia as of like two weeks ago so we'll see how that goes

I would have to say, my worst year in high school was my senior year. That was the year my whole life kinda went upside down and I struggled to figure out what to do with my future. The piles and piles of coursework I had definitely didn't help me during that time either. Thank god I survived HS though, now I just need to worry about surviving undergrad lmao

Freshman/first year probably, mostly to do with getting acclimated to the new setting with its new rules and not really knowing anybody since I'm generally timid, shy, and not particularly sociable in person. Sophomore and Junior were pretty okay and I enjoyed Senior year, though I kind of regret slacking off a bit when choosing certain classes over others.

Probably sophomore year. I lost two of my best friends and really struggled with myself that year. Tbh though if I'm really thinking about it, the last three years all kind of sucked socially/had a lot of drama, and I wound up graduating without the core group of friends I had entered with. It sucked. Now I don't talk to anybody I went to high school with.
After posting this I realized I also really struggled my freshman year too, I guess due to the transition and stuff going on at home. It doesn't seem so bad looking back on it, but in general I guess high school was just kind of rough for me.

All of high school sucks for me lol. So far there's been a lot of drama, I don't really like my friends, I have to hide the fact that I'm gay, and I think I developed depression last year. I'm only just starting my junior year but its been really stressful with homework and thinking about my future. I am hoping this year will be better as I'm joining a few more clubs and there's this girl in my Spanish class that I'm becoming better friends with.
Where I live there is no middle school, it's high school right after elementary school and it lasts 5 years, so I started at 12 and ended before being 17 yo. The first year was the worst because the school was like a jail, there were bars to the windows and we couldn't go out as we wish on breaks, the reason to that was because the first year student shared a school with the student from special classes and they feared those would escape. It was a dark and depressing school for everybody.

Junior year / 11th grade. I worked 35 hours a week on average (until 10 PM usually, sometimes midnight if I was stokcking), I was in track/cross country, and 6 of my 8 classes were college level courses. I ran on desperation and redbull for 7 months straight. not to mention during this time i was in an abusive relationship so that was just great. I really don't miss high school.
high school was generally a positive experience for me but i'd say first year, didn't really feel like i fit in and didn't have the best group of friends (yet), our high school merged with another in my 3rd year and that was definitely a positive thing for me, met some of my friends that i couldn't imagine life without

Fortunately high school was pretty breezy for me. I've still got friends from high school since freshmen year. I think my last year was the worst. There were always really crappy people at my school, but there were just a select few that were so arrogant, disrespectful and self-centered that ruined it for me in my senior year. They totally ruined everyone's education by disrupting the class and refusing to accept the fact that they won't always be spoon fed information and answers. I really hoped they failed or at least struggled with uni, because you wouldn't be able to survive uni without studying yourself xD But yeah, it was at that point where I just couldn't wait to be out of high school, I was sick of it.

Tenth. My brother was graduating, and my mom was co-directing a play. Said play had a lot of problems BTS, from cast cooperation to the organizer of the party it would be held at (sweet woman, but she was making it more complicated than necessary). That created high stress in the family,and I'm empathic.
Schoolwise, my World History curriculum was literally just. the worst. Timed tests were scheduled basically every week. The normally short assessments (which in other classes are about 5 questions long) were 10-15 questions at best, and quizzed you on basically every little thing in the book. So not all the key terms were emphasized, which made it worse. Didn't help that the school was so full of typos that to this day we still joke about it. (Fun fact: "the" is pronounced "doomsday". The thing was teaching me about the Domesday Book, and because of the weird spelling, put the pronunciation in. Shame they left out the actual name of the book.)
Then there was PE, where my teacher pushed me past my limits. I poured blood, sweat, and tears into the class (quite literally) and got zero satisfaction from it. I was literally screaming while I ran just to numb the mental agony.
Also I tried to get diagnosed for anxiety. My doctor said it was "just normal teenage girl anxiety". Didn't get the support i needed during the worst of times, kept getting punished when I needed support... yeah.
It's no wonder why this catastrophe ended with a panic attack at my brother's graduation...

uhhhh idk maybe first year because my mental health was **** and i had most lessons with the same group but no friends, so i was always alone and depressed and whatever. i was also like super suicidal, wasn't allowed to go to school for a few weeks and almost failed german class so that was wild. however, my two other years also sucked but in sort of different ways. academically, my third year was probably the worst because i actually failed two classes...
