Top 10 Things that Make High School Worse Than Middle School
If you think middle school is bad, wait until you get to high school. It's far worse in multiple ways. If I missed a reason, feel free to add it.When you're a teenager in high school, you'll go through so much stress that you don't know how to handle it. They pile on work or have very tight deadlines on projects, making almost every teenager unhappy and exhausted at school.
Maybe this is why teenagers are so moody and rarely happy.
Seriously! There's so much homework, and my school feels the need to make everything so complicated. I'm only a month into my freshman year! It sucks!
Stress in high school is ridiculous. From projects to tests to trying to keep your grades up to planning your future.
Middle school drama is about smaller things, and there's more of it, while high school drama is slightly less abundant but involves bigger issues.
Oh boy! If you thought middle school was frustrating, then good luck with high school.
Going from middle to high school, I thought I was going to be fine. I'm a horrible test taker, and now tests are 40% of my grade!
I'm Asian, and I tried so hard to get straight As to please my high-expectation parents, but it was tough!
It's annoying enough with regular classes. I can't imagine how stressful it would be in honors and AP classes.
I'm scared to share your opinion more in high school than in middle school.
I'm in Year 6 right now, and secondary school - I'm from England - looks really hard for kids like me with autism.
Middle school has hard exams, but high school's are almost impossible.
Teachers, we teens can decide what we want to do. I know you have to support us, which is great, but stop pushing us to do things that we might not even want to do.
"College is important! You have to focus on us and be good in order to get in!" *Facepalms* I know people who used to have lots of bad grades who got in.
"Do what we say because if you don't, you'll be in trouble for college!" *Rolls eyes*
No phones in class! *Gets on their phone 5 minutes later* or No food or drinks in class *Gets out an entire fast food meal*
I once made a mistake on an exam and got the worst possible grade.
I had a bully who believed he was the boss, but I ignored him. Then he tried to ruin my life because I didn't respect him as a god, and I realized how he is the boss.
I also suffered trauma for a few months because of bullying.
Well, I'm in 8th grade, and this list is scaring me about what high school is going to be like.
It's so stupid having standardized tests even in high school! It was already stressful enough in middle school. But it's even more stressful in high school due to harder coursework, extracurriculars, and other tests like the SAT, ACT, and AP exams.
Luckily, I only had to do the standardized test one year and passed without studying, even though I did poorly most of the time in middle school when studying for hours each day.
Why do we have to take standardized tests?!
Middle school grades are basically meaningless outside of extracurricular activities. High school grades stay with you forever.
It's true! Parents lie to you. When you realize how things work in high school, you just want to flee and give up.
This is why I haven't spoken to my parents in years.
Man, many students there are pretty manipulative and menacing.
My history and biology teachers make the students take Cornell notes all the time. Cornell notes are useless and don't even work.

Yep, it's real and extremely scary.
I hate the PSAT. It's only worth it for the memes.
