I'm at the end of my second year here at Central College. It's great.

High school, on the other hand, sucked in just about every way possible.

It's tough and i'm forced to take a bunch of classes i'm not interested it, but i guess that's just the way it goes...At least its 90 degrees today and the girls will be dressed down...waaay down :D

In Iowa the teachers pick the curriculum. I can't think of any other state that does this, although for some reason I'm thinking Texas might.

For those of you who think school is bad... You have no idea what I went through(excluding the academics portion) for the 1'st 7 years of my school life, I went to a catholic/private school.My mom scraped up barely enough to afford it, while I hated it because lots of people there were rich snobs and everybody there is Mr.Prep and I never found anyone there like me to befriend. That was 2'nd - 8'th grade. Now I'm a junior at highschool and though it may not be the most joyous of all past times its noticiably better than those first 7 years.
I never understood why my mom sent me there, I argued with her alot about it, I considered it a lose/lose situation because she spent all of her money towards it while I absolutley hated it.

Junior in high school, I was on here earlier around the same time, but then the bell rang. High school is fun, although the classes are bull and rediculosly boring often. But me and my friends make the best of things and have a great time i class. One time i sat in front of my friend and we started rowing like we were in a boat for like 5 min before the teacher saw us. She was like, what are you doing? Your not even taking notes! As we look at her with confusion we kept rowing, she then kicked us out and we rowed out the door, then busted out laughing the whole way to the office. We didn't get in trouble since the vp tought it was hilarious also.

I just remembered that my freind goes to a charter school he tells me all the about that place all the time, omg I've fallen in love with it from what he tells me. The teacher hands out all the answers to their tests and some of the teachers just sound crazy.He was telling me his art teacher looked like some kind of hobo with a huge white beard and at the start of class, he would most of the time say "ok Y'all do whatever ya want I dont give a ****" and they also get out of school at noon everyday. I'm taking a day off tommorow just becuase I want to and I'm gonna go get a visitors pass and spend the day over there. Cant wait! :D

Those two guys were not normal kids. They built bombs in their garage. They didn't go looking for particular people, they just went and started shooting at other kids. I don't care how much you're picked on at school for whatever reason, there was something wrong with those kids that was much deeper than being picked on or made fun of. I can't see how anyone can feel for those two guys.

Am i the only one here who feels this way? Somebody?

I agree, those two kids were far from normal.

Feeling hurt or upset over getting picked on is one thing; killing a human being is entirely different. These guys were sick, twisted individuals who, IMO, deserve the worst. I honestly see no reason to feel comraderie with a couple of punk murderers who think it's ok to start killing innocent people.

Sorry, but I've been close enough to my breaking point to have a real good look at it, so it's very easy for me to understand what they did.

I don't condone it and in a way, I look down on them for taking the coward's way out but I know what got them there. There wasn't anything especially "wrong" with them; they were simply pushed too far with too little guidance or support to get them through it the right way.
