I was one noisy rascal, always trying to over talk my teachers. I shouted the answers before teacher cave me the turn to answer and if they didn't like that, i was more than a happy to start depating of the subject.
Other kids encouraged me whit their little evil grins, there was only one "Lisa Simpson" in our class who weirdly enough wished to listen that thing called education  poor soul.
The pranks where the best fun of the game. Like breaking teachers pointer (twice), repairing it whit blu tack postponed my detention atleast few days. Who haven't put nails or needles under teacher chair? If the girls just weren't so giggly  After a lecture from supervisor it's not wise to throw a snowball in their head, even as "half accident". (Bast*rd gave me two detetions and called it "direct assault", it was still worth it!
My favorite prank happened in 8th grade, we had 1 "own" computer in the classroom but our friendly teacher didn't allow us to use it, infact he had password that only he knew. Irritated by this i promised myself to hack his password and never let him to the computer ever again. First thing was, how do i get logged in? I asked the permission to write my essay in the computer, underlining the importance of the quality provided by the various programs at hand. He didn't fall for that immediately but felt i had a valid point and sended me to computer classroom, from where i hastly returned, as it where "apparently" already occupied. There i was sitting at the computer desk, watching my classmates, feeling privileged to do my "essay" which would for once grasp our teacher attention. Changing some little details in your .ini files can really make your eassay more interesting. Oddly enough teacher didn't much care about my essay but my classmates seemed enjoying it and as i returned it anonymously never did i get the credit, deserved. Best part was that later i helped our teacher and restored the old password, his appreciation felt amusing but the lesson is; no good deed goes unrewarded

There are USB sticks with certain programs that crack it automatically for you
For my "IT" class, I was the actual teacher who always pointed out errors and stuff in the teacher's sayings or when she made mistakes writing a program (small mistake, but can make your program uncompilable or worse, execute wrongly). Now I feel somewhat bad for the teacher

Im suprised and almost chocked (quoting the newspapers here) that everybody seemed to do lots of inmature and bad stuff long ago. I really hope my parents (they are 34 and 35 I think) werent like that.
Everybody says that it was so good long ago, but after reading some threads about other peoples childhood I dont know if it was much better then today, where the children actually are smart, listen and try to learn some.
Im so glad I live in a modern and civilizied country so I can skip such horrible things like I read here.
Wasnt it possible to have fun without destroying stuff and doing bad stuff 20-30 years ago?

ROFLMAO xerox, what has it anything to do with it? It's not like you can play WoW in class...
Most children are selfish and prefer to destroy/annoy others. It's human nature -- probably you are in a class full of dorky nerds which is why you don't experience that (yes there's a difference, I was a geek, but not 'dorky').

Why would I want to play WoW in school? You are supposed to learn and work in school, next year im getting grades for the first time. I must be prepared. I can play WoW all the time when I get home.
Lots of more people smoked etc 20 years ago then now. Children are actualy aware of that smoking and drinking is bad now.
Studies have shown several times that smoking has decreased a lot.
Children are much more adult and intelligent now then before. We dont hurt each other, bully people and destroy stuff anymore.
It was not better long ago - its getting better and better.
Playing games like CS and WoW (which are the two most popular things to do in my class) is harmless then making someone sad for several years or making the teachers hate their work.
I love school and my teachers and it would be impossible for me to do something bad against them.
I must ask my parents if they did horrible things such as this. But then again, it probably depends on what country you live in. We are civilized, intelligent and modern here. Call me racist, but its true.

BOO-YA! Thats what i always say. Most of the kids today are mindless brainwashed retards. Like JoonasTo said in my 'Remembering the good old days' thread you should break a law just for the fun of it.
Steal apples from your neighbous' gardens
Blast mailboxes to smithereens
Annoy your local constable.
Just for the FUN of it.

Well Xerox, you have to remember to study at home as well. WoW and CS won't help you with school at all. You've gotta get a proper schedule of things if you want to get good grades. Games should be at the bottom of your list of priorities. I'm telling you this because I didn't do well at school. Instead of studying at home, I made music, talked to people and basically chilled out. At school the only subject that I did kinda well at was computers because that's my kinda thing. I've always disliked the school. The only good thing about it is probably lunch where I can just talk to my friends and muck around without getting into trouble (although I sometimes mucked around too much and it got out of hand and I kinda did get in trouble ). The point I'm trying to make is that right now you're 13 (or 14?) and if you want to go well at school then you've gotta step up to the mark and actually try. That means cutting down on playing games a lot. Browsing HC won't help you either. Best to do as good as you can in school so that you will start off on the right foot when you leave it and perhaps try to get a job.
My experiences at school were varied. I had good times and bad times. I got into fights (physical and also verbal) and fights with teachers (verbal). I got suspended about 15 or 20 times, nearly expelled 2 or 3 times and I wasn't that good of a student. Like I said above, I mainly chilled out most of the time and I did a lot of mucking about in class with some friends which usually got me sent out of the room and in trouble. Years 7, 8, 9 and about half of year 10 were bad. Year 9 was my worst year and I got suspended a few times for getting into fights with teachers and physical fights with kids. Year 10 I nearly got expelled about 2 or so times and then I stopped being as bad. Later on, I actually became a School Leader (which surprised both myself and many other people) and I actually started to make an effort (not in school work but in my behaviour). There were a few times where I lost it but I didn't get suspended or nearly expelled. I may have just been sent out of the classroom but I usually went and apologised to the teacher afterwards and got on with some work (or pretended to ).
Even though I disliked school pretty much most of the time, there were some parts that I liked. Back in year 9 and 10, I did Drama as one of my classes. It was good because I actually unleashed my talent in performing. If you knew me back then, you would know that I was someone who would get angry extremely quick. I used this in many of my performances. However, I was also known to be extremely funny, which was good because I gained friends that way and this was good because they often tried helping me when I was about to get angry. When I acted, I mixed both my anger and my comedic side and then just did what I had to do. It worked and many people often liked seeing what I would come up with. It was also good that the teachers gave me freedom in what exactly I could say. Year 9 this wasn't the case because the teacher was more strict (and also very very weird) but in year 10 we got an awesome teacher. She was really nice to me and I don't think I ever really got in trouble by her. We got on really well and we usually joked a lot. I usually told her that I was leaving the school and she would get all worried and sad and I would say just kidding and then we would just laugh. It was all good. We also had another teacher but she had to leave for about a year or so. Anyway, the teacher that I got on with quite well gave me the freedom to do pretty much anything I liked. I was kinda silent most of the time when not acting and not mucking around and I was also extremely nervous of acting and nervous in front of a crowd and also shy around most people. When I started my acting that I had to do for a particular lesson, then it just came out naturally. I usually looked at the peoples faces to see if they were laughing or not. If they weren't, then I tried something else until it worked. I was known to be a very funny person so it was good to see people laughing (no, not at me ) during my performances.
In year 11, though, I dropped Drama (which I still regret) and instead, I picked up Entertainment which is pretty much the technical side of drama. Setting up the lights, props, sound etc etc. I had the same teacher that taught me Drama and I also had that other teacher that left for a while (she came back). I had the teacher that taught me for Drama for 3 days and then the other teacher for the 2 other days, so it was all good. It switched every week though (if I recall correctly). So week 1 would be the teacher that I liked more would be for 3 days and then the next week they would be for 2 days and the other would be for the 3 days. It evened out pretty much. The teacher I liked was good because it was more laid back. The other teacher was more strict and I found the lessons to not be as funny. We also learnt Occupational Health and Safety for about a year and I even thought about dropping that subject because I wanted to get onto the Sound stuff. I later dropped Maths (which proved to be a much better decision). There were rare times that we still got to do drama kinda stuff in Entertainment, such as demonstrating what to do and what not to do in particular situations. If there was a situation where someone had to act as an angry person, then they would usually ask me. I usually accepted, nervous as hell, and still tried to make it funny, and succeeded most of the time.
There were two classes that I wasn't particularly good at and they were English and Maths. I'm quite a good speller and my grammar is usually correct most of the time and my reading level is far beyond the average reading level for my age. The thing that got me, though, was the stupid things like Poetry for example. I was never good at Poetry and I have never liked it. There were times where we examined films because they were going to be in the final school test. The film was Witness by Peter Weir, which isn't that bad of a movie but I just wish it would have been something better. I'm quite good at movies, so I remembered quite a bit of it and kinda did okay in that part of the test. Maths was my worst subject. I used to be good with numbers but I'm not that good anymore. I don't have time for solving maths problems and I don't understand it that well. I had a test for the School Certificate one time and I got 4 out of 100. And yes, I tried as best I could. I dropped it soon after that, which proved to be the best decision I have made at school.
During most of my school years, both Primary School and High School, I was teased quite a lot. I was teased a lot back in Primary School and this later led me to become a bully myself. It also gave me a lot of anger, and when I was teased (in High School) I usually lashed out really easily. The bad thing about me is that I often act before thinking and this can be disastrous. Many of the times that i was suspended was for me hitting some person because they called me a name or they looked at me and then laughed at me with their friends. Things like this, for some reason, triggered my anger and led to me getting in trouble. This also led to me becoming quite well known around the school and this wasn't a good thing. There were certain people who knew me, didn't like me and tried to deliberately annoy me trying to get me angry and it usually worked most of the time. When I'm in that anger mode, I don't think logically and with much thought. My mind is set to doing whatever I can to get back at the person that annoyed me. I was on the wrong medication for years and I say wrong because it wasn't working. When I was put on another type of medication for ADHD and ODD, my behaviour changed dramatically. In years 7 and 8 (and also way before that), I was quite loud and always on the go. These newer tablets calmed me down a lot, sometimes to the point of me just not talking too much or at all. I became a very different person, but as I grew older, I got kinda out of it and became a little like who I used to be, but now I actually started to think logically and think before I acted out in anger. This led to me staying at school and the teachers actually respecting me. 
I've been called a very smart person and I guess I am rather smart when I actually put my mind to something. If there is one regret that I have about my life at school then it would be that I didn't try enough. Usually when I put my mind to something then I will usually focus all my energy on it until I succeed that task. I didn't do this, and I usually slacked off most of the time and didn't bother a large portion of the work that I had to do, which, in the end, didn't give me the best results possible. I could have achieved much higher than what I got. Although, I've always found that I actually learn better when I teach myself things. For example, I taught myself everything I know about music. I taught myself how to make it, taught myself how to make sounds, taught myself how to record and so on, and I'm now rather good at it (according to some people).
So some advice to people who are still in school and have read this post: Don't be like me and just slack off, just do your work. Don't blame many games when you are out of school. Study hard and attempt everything you can. The worst thing to do if you are having a test is to just skip a question entirely. If you don't know the answer then you can come back to it later and actually attempt it. It might sound really stupid but it could be the difference between passing and failing that test, and for a final exam, it could be crucial.

takes his eyes out and whipes them on the tile,-"Now its bettr".
That is what i call a good school advice and personal story
Ill tell some more about myself
When i first started my school(6 yrs) i was the youngest kid in
class and as i remember sitting on a desk(not chair) my teacher was
teaching us enlish and i didnt know what to do i thought she was
crazy and speak in some language but later i understood that that
all was because of my age.
We used 1-12 grading system(7-9 is good,10-12 best) but i always made 6,7,8 in all my classes(except PE)I didnt really hate school in
starting from 5th grade i actually wanted to learn some and as my parents went to school to talk to my teachers all of them said that
i was really smart but i didnt try.My mom was a teacher of Russian,Ukrainean literature(linguist)but as for me i loved math and
hated literature and to read(i like foreign languages,i took German,English and Russian).I tried my best to do at school esp
math where i made 6,7 but i couldnt do it because i was lost in my own world.Our school was counted as number one school in our
city so as teacher told it once she would never go back and i lost a few years of study.But my grade went up a little(to 7,8).Then
there was this point in my life where i had to move to US.I remember my teacher as i was leaving told me that i should pick all my
studies up and do my best.So i did.No offense but when i moved to US(in 7th grade)but school is a lot easier in US(by about 1-2
years).The first day of my school(without knowing language well)i made a 100 on my math test,thats where it all begun from that point
all the people in my elementary thought i was genius(i didnt).From that point on til High school my math grades are 100 and science 97-
100,and still i seem not to be linguist i barely make A's in english.So moving was like starting it all over and now i know how
some people here feel when they dont know it and try to do best but they simply cant so i try to help them.As i remember coming home in
Ukraine from school and sitting doing my homework for 1-3 hours a day and barely making by,i feel relieved coming home here and not
having any homework and making best grades.But still i feel like im not pushing myseld any.I could make better grades whcih would grant
me better future but i plan on doing that in 11,12th grades since they are the most important during whole school years.All colleges
look at them.A message i would give to all of you who are still
in elementary school(including you Xerox)dont think you can catch it
up later on,study now and it will be a lot more easy for you laterNow even playing video games with friends for whole week non-
stop is a great feeling,because i know that everything is going to be ok.

But here's the worst part.....
At this time, with alot of "eduction" in the subject, it's still many teen-agers that smoke/drink, it's less than a couple of years ago but it's still way to much. You can often find atleast one person per class in 8-9 grade that drink or smoke more than twice a week. It is less, I give you that, but not as much less as you would believe...
Quote:

Yes they do.,... I don't know were you got this from but it's still here. I think my school got around 20 which could be called bullied (of 300), the school pay alot of money for destroyed tables, windows etc. And "adult and intelligent" is probably the last word I can think of when describing the students in my school..
Quote:

Yes I admit, you shouldn't "make someone sad for several years or making the teachers hate their work"
But I wouldn't call WoW nor CS "harmless" in any way, mostly because they are "addicting". Some of my friends and cousins "like" these games. My cousin seems like a zombie when playing CS, and take so much time to "just finish this one more game" that his grandparents came in, said hi, drank coffee and left before he got down..... They live 90km from them.......
Quote:

I'll give you that... I don't love my school nor my teachers, but it would take a long time before I "hurt" them (Not counting harmless pranks )
Quote:
But then again, it probably depends on what country you live in. We are civilized, intelligent and modern here. Call me racist, but its true.
It's not true, atleast not when you talk about swedes. In a rather interesting book I've red "Swedes as other see them" (really a book for "businessmen" but interesting nontheless) swedes is described as "unadaptable", "boring" and to have a problem in talking (non-business that is.) That they see them selves as civilised when the rest of the world see them as mute workhorses.......

You are joking, right?
In Poland, people were much more gentle and organized as youths in communist times. Nowadays, the mostly smoke weed, drink, screw each other at the age of 13 and behave like bird brained idiots. And have absolutely NO respect for parents, teachers and older people in general.

not again. You actually DO seem to believe you live in some sort of a utopia
That's not good. As a person from a loving, rich family who never even experienced how cruel the world may be, you will be extremely fragile and easy to break (mentally) in adult life. Golden cage never works.

So the children are smart in your country and draw conclusions based on 1 or 2 events of ENTIRE childhood. Yeah. Smart.
