Once you get to high school the drama level definitely goes down. There are a lot more people, and if you just keep to yourself no one really cares about what you do.

Well, I hate waking up early so if they would start school at like 10 it would be a blast.

Even though I’m in high school my level of freedom has not gone up a lot. Besides open campus lunch, it is about the same.

Do you like having a full year of PE?
I hate having a full year of pe. If I was one of those rebellious kids I would probably ditch every day. But I’m not so anyway they should really get rid of PE altogether.
