cutting

[kasia]

how often do you cut? (this question is for the high schoolers. i already know you college kids don't go to class).

i actually missed close to my entire senior year in high school. but i did many worthwhile things during the times i was not in class. i explored the city. sat in on criminal trials at the oakland courthouse. visited cultural centers. etc. etc. i think i learned more from my outings than i did staying in school :)

I'm starting school tomorrow.

Freshman year: never cut.

Sophomore year: cut for the first time during second semester. the 2 classes i cut were both too boring for me. neither of them were compelling. my brain was rotting slowly so i had to do something about it. i took it into my own hands by going to the library instead of class.

-went to boarding school during the summer and enjoyed it lots. parents wanted me to go to boarding school for the rest of high school but i didn't end up going.

Junior year: switched to a private school not far from a starbuck's. cut a few times to sit at starbuck's to read the newspaper, and umm.. once, to go to the airport.

in most trimesters I would cut at least 15 classes (might not seem like a lot, but the school average was like 5/term). in frosh year it was just to sleep in, but later it was to do homework or go to starbucks.

from the title i thought kasia meant cutting yourself. and then the first sentence was "how often do you cut?". i was like :blink: does she expect that everyone on YW cuts?

[bigwong235]

freshman through junior year, i never cut. i was occasionally late because my alarm didn't wake me up or whatever, but never on purpose.

senior year, i cut maybe 10 times the entire year. i would freak out and have panic attacks and not be able to go to school cause i was so stressed.

They implemented the 31 absence days maximum for seniors because of our graduating year! I was cutting a lot, as soon as I got into an acceptable college from my list, vroom I was out the school gates.

Most memorable days of my life, ahhhhh senioritis.

At first, I thought you meant self injury..

[Faithless]

I never did. There was no place to go. And if you got caught, you were halled to the principles office for a good "yelling".

[Flow to Live]

I remeber i cutted 30 class one semester back in high school to go do drugs and ish--wouldn't recommend it kids.

So did I.

I rarely cut in highschool. There was always something to do. I didn't particularly like the atmosphere but I knew I would be leaving soon and I knew the work I was doing in the sciences at the time was valuable. The times I did cut I always went down to the fine arts building and worked there. The instructor understood I think, he never said much. Did some murals and a lot of clay work, and lots and lots of photography that I used to go through.

i cut only twice in high school. the 2nd time was to grab a calculator i forgot at home for a test that afternoon. i got caught cuz i guess the guards watch for cars leaving or something and got 2 days of in-school suspension.

if that isn't the most lame ass reason for cutting school and getting caught i don't know what is. anyways, i didn't cut after that cuz in-school sucks ass.

i've never cut school, and i've got one more year to go, so i will be officially cut-school free. ;D

Texas had some law in place where you would lose credit for the class if you attended less than 80 days a semester. So that allowed 8-10 cuts, exclusive of tardies. My school had a policy that three tardies counted as one absence.

Senior year doesn't count. Due to Senioritis, we cannot control our urge to cut.

I use to cut a lot in school because it was Oakland and I can get away with it.

i cut all the time in HS, i started in 7th grade and kept cutting all the way until i finished. at first it was just because i hated school and wanted to go fishing/hang out by the creek instead. later because my gf always wanted to go walk around and give me handjobs.

[LaiSteve66]

I only cut class a few times my senior year.

[tvbdude]

I skipped alot back in 10th grade. then I dropped out the next year

[Deadpool]

Skipped a lot in gr 10 and a little bit in gr 11.
Smoked bud and did other activities of the delinquent nature. Occasionally came to class high. Curiously still made the honor roll a few times.

I usually take a thermogenic containing caffiene/chocamine and other stimulants.

then I increase my protein output over carbs.. and lower cholesterol and fat...

Then i focus on cardio(swimming, martial arts) and bodyweight strength training.

I lose my fat but keep my lean muscle.

Wait til you get lazy. Those muscles will turn in to fat.

When I use to jog a lot, then got lazy, my boxers would get tighter and more uncomfortable.

i never cut class ...

[robotic]

going through this thread makes me NEED to cut before i finish high school X=P

We used to cut class, late in HS, to breakdance. Not the smartest way to make use of our time, considering how we'd do the same thing after school anyways.

I skipped class so much in HS it wasn't even funny, starting in 9th grade (freshman year) and by the time I was a senior, I didn't go to class. That's why I had to take a full load of classes right on up to graduation, and why I almost didn't graduate, because I skipped class so much they had no choice but to give me an F.


But somehow my decent/somewhat good grades from the first two years of hs, when I only skipped class periodically/occasionally, as opposed to on a daily basis like in 11th and 12th grades, allowed me to have a cumulative GPA that was high enough for me to be accepted into A&M and even UAB, plus my ACT scores were pretty good anyway, so yeah. I skipped class like hell in HS but I'm still in college. Lot of shit I don't know, but it's not like you see me in remedial classes.

I really shouldn't have skipped though.......................the only thing I did when I wasn't in class was get high, get drunk, rarely did I fuck....................smoked weed, drank, even popped pills. It wasn't the coolest shit to do.


But then again, since my school was downtown, it was easy as hell to skip. Just walk a block down the street, go inside a cafe/resturant and chill. Me and all my friends blended in easily. Sometimes drugs were not involved in our skipping. Sometimes we just wanted to leave. So we did. I remember one time, I left school around 10 AM to get my dick sucked at this popular spot on top of the mountain in Birmingham, it's a place where everybody go when they want to fuck outdoors, in a car, etc. It's kind of isolated, but everybody knows about it, plus there's endless little places you go to, everybody's got a favorite spot on top of the mountain.


Anyway, those were good times, skipping school. Turns out I didn't learn too much in HS anyway. I had a couple of good teachers and shit, but to be truthful with you, intellectually stimualting classes/discussions were few and far between. I've probably learned more in one semester up here in college than I did in any two or three years of HS, and by the end of this semester, will probably have learned more than I ever did in all four years of HS. Hell, I've probably learned more on YW than I did in high school. Plus all the shit that can't be learned in a classroom (life, love, etc).


High school kids - skip if you want to. Just don't do drugs (re: drugs, not weed) while you're skipping, that really fucked me up a couple of times in HS and it's something i regret.
