Our school was so broke, students had to lobby for forming teams. I remember how we formed our rugby team. It was a sad joke, but really fun.

I don't know if popularity was a big deal in my school. I couldn't really tell. People definitely knew the names of girls who dressed up to get attention though lol, and perhaps whoever was dating them. But was it a popularity thing? I don't think so. They were all generally polite. When someone was a jerk, everyone hated them. Was there substance? Yes, I'd like to think so. People were real.

Mashallah bro, which state was that? That seems like a Utopia of a high school. Were there any bullies, the jocks, the geeks etc

Brother AwdalPrince,

I would have prayed during class and have joined the Muslim Student Association. I would have also opted out of the evolution unit of biology and also petitioned the principle to allow me to go to jummah on Fridays.

We won one state championship and got screwed out of another when i was in high school. We were nationally ranked. We regularly have students who go to Div 1A Schools, McDonald All Americans, NBA.

I'm from Toronto, Canada.

The school itself wasn't much of a utopia at all. There weren't bullies, but there were fights every now and then. A one on one fight could quickly turn into gang warfare. I've witnessed a few of those including guns. It was a shitty school, in that sense. The language barriers I've mentioned were kind of a division along ethnic lines. When you fought one person, you pretty much fought anyone from that group who felt like throwing a punch that day. But like I said about conventional "cliques", they didn't really exist. Some sports players were high achievers. A girl I got to know who was a year younger loved sports. She joined everything. The girls soccer team went provincial, but I think they lost, I forget. She ended up getting valedictorian. Last I knew she was going for med school.

When someone was intelligent and friendly, it was acknowledged and respected. The school I went to was nothing as you on TV. Sometimes I question if that is simply an American stereotype, but then I think larger cities aren't the general standard.

i didnt miss highschool, i just regretted i quite the latin class. my school was the only one in whole country offered latin and hebrew.

Subhanallah we had some drama but never to that extent, a friend of mine from Atlanta had a girl who used to love him, she was a soccer chick and was pretty, he liked her too but the only reason he didn't get involved is coz she was into sports too much. You reminded me of that story.

Dude I heard horrible things about Toronot, no surprise there
