Grade 11 in Canada, also technically Grade 11 in US, but they call it senior or some shit.

You didnt have that from Year 9? We have that from Grade 9 here.

Grades 9-12 are called Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior in the states. As far as I can tell, it's because more and more people realize they won't be going to college and still want to have the titles at some point.

Just scared Kinfin by showing him a cat mating video. Was hilarious.

When you get to Year 10, you get to choose which subjects but still have to do English/Maths/a Science/sometime a school might force some other shiz.  This is for the GCSEs.  Then in Year 12 which is Sixth Form for the A-Levels, you get fully full choice.

Qualifications in the UK in high school are the GCSEs (years 10-11) and then the A-Levels (years 12-13).  This is what people will be able to stick on the CVs/resumés.  For example I have a GSCE in Chemistry and an A-Level in Business Studies.  We don't have an overall "high school diploma" thing, we have different qualifications for each subject that you complete.  Sixth form is just another name for year 12/13 that people use for some reason.

So was supposed to get surgery today but the doctor forgot to order literally everything for the surgery, so we now have to go in tomorrow and my aunt has been threatening to kick me out of the house all fucking day today because I've been pointing out how blackmail/extortion is not a form of love.

Suicide is looking like the best choice every single day I live.

See, that makes enough sense.

In the US, it's just numbered grades, goes up to 12 for public schools. For pretty much any job, if you're old enough to have a high school diploma, you need one. Some people will hire high school dropouts (people who didn't get a diploma), but it's usually minimum wage at best. In other words, having your high school diploma isn't anything special and having it is considered a given/necessary.

For us, what we can stick on our resume is things above that- so college, mostly. If you're desperate, some people will put extra curriculars on them. Once you've got job experience, that's the gold standard. I hated school, but oh, how I miss my school days... ;~;

Just saying, the offer of a futon to sleep on is still open, if all hell breaks loose.

Sorry to hear you've been getting shit again though. Hopefully things cool off for you... If it makes you feel any better, things've been shit for me lately too.

Eh, it's only pathetic if you're not getting any actual sex. xD

I loved school and now i miss it so much, I drive past high school when I have to drop off my mom to work and it makes me sad that I don't go there anymore, High School was so much fun for me... I had no enemies and was quite popular, pretty much every day was like a "fun" day outside of my math class, but I still got good grades.
I wish I took college in september because I haven't seen my friends over a month, it's driving me to depression/anger. I'm really sick of it

I enjoyed high school too- and miss it. But I only got to go for two years (went to college early). The end result was isolation, depression, and tons of stress. More or less what I'm saying is I didn't like college xD

I mean, the big thing I miss is having less responsibilities. Having your own home, car, job... It's stressful. But that's life, I s'pose.

Thinking about college reminds me of what happened at work the other day. I saw someone I knew, though I couldn't place it instantly- just that seeing them made me uneasy. Of course she recognized me and approached me, and when I saw her name badge... She used to be one of the higher ups at my old job. Apparently, she's teaching at a college now (teaching students who want to be nurses).

This. This was horrifying to me xD

Back when I worked my old job, you got a battery of tests each year. One is an injection that's supposed to go just under the skin. It's super easy. But this woman managed to screw it up with me, injected it right into one of my veins (which can easily be lethal). And now she's teaching new nurses. That's scary, folks xD

Wow. The coincidence is palpable. I too am on the verge of getting into college for the same course. Do I smell online study buddies? Prolly not due to you being a Canadian, but still.

Why not a mechanic or engineer so you could work on cars for a living? ._.
