A roundup of school experiences everyone can relate to (11–20)
As soon as there is a problem, a meeting is convened.
In school life, various problems can occur.
I think many schools hold assemblies to resolve them.
For minor issues, there are class meetings or homeroom; for somewhat bigger issues, there are grade-level assemblies.
And when a major problem arises, a whole-school assembly may be held.
Some of you might even have found yourselves at the center of such an assembly.
If you haven’t had that experience, I hope you’ll continue to be careful and enjoy your school life.
Tends to show off how depressed they are
I think everyone has their own worries—like heartbreak or failing a test.
At times like that, a lot of people tend to seek attention by acting like they’re mentally unwell.
There are many types of this kind of “I’m not okay” act, but the classics are saying you can’t sleep or that you have no appetite.
There’s also the habit of calling yourself “mentally unwell” over and over.
You’ve probably heard one of these patterns at least once.
It’s one thing if someone just tends to act that way, but if a friend is truly struggling, let’s make sure to support them.
Tends to make cryptic posts on social media.
Do you usually use social media? If you’re on Twitter or Instagram, you probably know what I mean—there are people who keep posting cryptic updates.
Things like, “I’m so done,” or “Something unbelievable just happened.” These kinds of posts don’t reveal any specifics but drop intriguing comments, which is what we call cryptic posts.
Also, writing long, poem-like entries might fall into this category too.
If you come across one, try gently asking what happened.
There are people whose pencil cases are ridiculously big.
Haven’t you ever known someone with an unusually large pencil case? Some people simply carry a lot of stationery, while others even stash unnecessary items in there.
Also, I think the recent trend of quirky pencil case designs has helped accelerate this phenomenon.
How about trying a pencil case shaped like a character or modeled after food yourself? Of course, be sure to follow your school’s rules.
want(s) to form a band
Isn’t it a common thing that once people move up to the next school level, they suddenly want to start a band? It’s especially surprising when you get invited by friends who never seemed interested in music.
Also common: everyone wants to be the vocalist or the guitarist, and they set playing at the school festival as their goal.
It may be a cliché, but if you do it, it’ll surely be fun—so if you get the chance, I hope you give it a try.
That said, be aware that some people only talk about forming a band and never actually follow through.
In conclusion
We’ve shared some highly relatable school “been there” moments—what did you think? I bet many of them actually happened at your school too. Some of these change with the times, but a lot of them seem to be passed down across generations! Try using them as conversation starters not just with friends, but also with parents, older alumni, or younger students from different generations.
