junior high was hellish. in my experience, junior high was much worse than high school. i got involved in theatre and forensics in high school and found that while i still dealt with asshole jocks (sorry, jocks, but most of you *were* assholes in highschool) it wasnt nearly as bad.
i understand that for some people, extracurricular activities in highschool seem to be lacking something, and thats fine. i agree with jujus wife that hs can be a very important social experience, but i can also see how it can be a waking nightmare.
homeschooling isnt really an option for my kid(s?), partly because we both work and partly because the social aspect of school is important to me. in my entire time at school, my best experience, both socially and educationally, was in a private school, and i think thats where ill be sending my kids when they start school.
hang in there deep. theres a lot of good to experience in this world, you just have to look for it.
