Most people say high school is wonderful. It can be, but for most, its not wonderful at all. It is actually quite the opposite. Here are some of the daily struggles of being a high school student.
Waking up super early to put on pounds of makeup so people don't call you ugly
Not getting enough sleep due to staying up till 12 a.m. studying for countless tests
Having only a few close friends because everyone else has done something to ruin your friendship by this point
Not being able to understand anything in any classes, especially math
Having classes with people you don't know
Being stared down by everyone feeling like they are judging you for every move you make
Being gossiped about behind your back
Getting bullied on the daily
Being posted about and made fun of all over Instagram and Snapchat
Being laughed at by others for no apparent reason
Being called ugly, stupid, fat, not good enough, etc
Having hours of homework a night
Being so stressed you skip your meals
Lying to parents, friends, and significant others
Hiding things
Failing so many tests
Crying in the bathroom wondering why you even have to be at school
Wishing you could just disappear and go back to kindergarten when everyone was friends
Losing trust in people you thought you would always be able to trust
Not being happy with your looks, size, face, grades, etc
Sadly, that is what high school is really like. I'm sorry, you just deserve to know the truth instead of learning the hard way like I had to.
