I’m not underage anymore as I just turned 18 almost a month ago, but y’all seem pretty cool so I’m just going to join this group anyways… Also ZOMG APS ARE DESTROYING MY SOUL #highschoolproblems
-
MINE TOO. The beautiful end of finals/AP tests/regular tests is in sight though. Which did you take?
-
i took english lit, bio, calc bc, and apush.
-
-
I just turned 18 too, but I feel like being in this group is okay because 1. I’ve been reading autostraddle as underage up until a month ago and 2. I’m still in high school..
anyways, APs are killing me too. my last one is tomorrow though. woo! ..good luck with whatever you have left!

I actually LIVE in a village, pop.2,500. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biddenden)
Pretttttty certain I’m the only gay person in it, because we are 98% white, conservative and Christian. If anyone lives remotely near me, talk to me! I know one queer girl IRL, could use some help in that department.
-
White, conservative Christians can still be gay. Just sayin’.
-
Ach, I know. It’s just not the landscape you think of when looking for queermos…
-
-
I live in this shithole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_River_Mills,_California)
I found two gay boys here, and there’s one lesbian who’s in the 9th grade who’s been crushing on me recently, and I’m flattered but also going to college in the fall, and I want NO excuse to come back here EVER AGAIN because, as you probably know, small towns SUCK.
-
Ouch, a pop. of 712? My sympathies!
-
that’s almost 1/4 the size of the high school i graduated from!
-
My school as 200 individuals in the building every day, and it’s a grade 7 through 12 school, and this number includes all of the students and all of the faculty. That was a badly worded sentence, but I had to express the horrors of daily living here. Also: NO OTHER LESBIANS. I mean some people say this in a hyperbolic manner, but for serious, NO…[Read more]
-
My school is about 400 people. And me and one bisexual girl. I didn’t realise I was gay until about 17, but from then on (last year) it’s been pretty horrendous. Fortunately leaving in three weeks!

I think I’m technically underage, I study boring nerdy subjects at AS (which are kind of like AP-Exams according to the internet). I like music a lot, and I enjoy books that contain 80% pictures.
-
OOOOOH, what subjects do you have? I’m doing AS too.
-
Pure-maths, politics, modern history and business. Not very interesting, how about yourself?
-
whooa. i have literature in english, sociology, economics and accounting.
i didn’t even know politics was a subject at AS haha
-
Umm I sure hope it is, I would of taken both economics and accounting but I didn’t get the option of studying either of them.
-

-
80% pichurrss!!??? DR.SEUSS PARTY!
-
I’ve never actually read a whole Dr. Seuss book (I think) – I’m sorry, perhaps I should of been more specific..
-
GASP! 50% of your childhood thrown out of the window.

omg hi! fellow AS person! (it’s confusing how AS means Advanced Subsidiary and Autostraddle at the same time) i study equally geeky subjects, but a slightly different niche of geekery. (latin, ancient greek, english, history, and maths, looking to do classics at uni.) exams starting next week, right? :D
-
i don’t think i was expecting that smiley to come out looking as cheerful as it does at the prospect of exams being next week. :’)
-
I realised that the initials where the same also, I thought it was pretty neat. You took 5? Crazy, I looked into taking 5 but my 5th choice was pretty irrelevant – I want to study Accounting & Finance, or Accounting & Law (that’s actually a thing) at university, I honestly cannot wait for them to be over, if I had to wait it out much longer I’d…[Read more]
-
yeah, i actually am taking 6 (japanese as an extra. i did japanese AS last year and am doing A2 this year.) and i’m chinese so i took chinese AS a couple years ago. i like to torture myself by taking too many subjects, what can i say. (i ended up doing 13 GCSEs in total, i am a crazy person.) i haven’t actually really started revising yet! i’m…[Read more]
-
Holy crow, you sure speak a lot of languages, and interesting ones – I only studied French and (Irish) Gaelic. I haven’t started to revise much myself either, I figure I’ll just wing maths and history: I have a photographic memory, so I can pretty much remember every single fact/date I ever read about – it’s a welcome skill :)
-
oh man, i’m jealous! ): i, on the other hand, have no excuse for not having started revising yet. i’m just really lazy, no idea how i manage to survive doing so many subjects. i’ve finally just sat down and started looking at my history textbook. I AM NEVER GOING TO REMEMBER ALL THIS CRAP. ): *panics*
but gaelic sounds awesome!-
Are you also studying Churchill and German Democracy & Dictatorship? I’m not sure if it’s a national thing.
I don’t know if I’m qualified to actually say that I studied Gaelic, I don’t think I could string together one grammatically correct sentence – and I have no idea why I was taught it, I’m not Irish…-
nope! it’s not a national thing, b/c there are like three different exam boards and then within each exam boards your school can opt to teach you different topics. for one of my papers i’m doing russia from 1881-1953, and then for my sources paper i’m doing england from like the last decade of elizabeth i’s reign to the first few years of charles…[Read more]
-
Ah, I feel a little silly now, we did the blitz (CW), and the cold war at GCSE and we’re pretty much doing the same, luckily I know all the dates prior to taking the topic.
I haven’t studied Gaelic in a while, I’m not taking exams in it – but it was oddly thrust upon my 8 year old self and I had to study it until I finished Junior School, so…[Read more]-
yeah, our school felt like it would be boring if we did the same topics. in a way, i kind of appreciate learning new stuff, but i also see the advantage of doing similar topics to lessen the workload a tiny bit. i’m not really very into modern history anyway, so i’m not gonna keep going with A2.
haha, i am SO going to make up words, because that’s…[Read more]-
I prefer modern history, it fits better with politics, it all sort of links together, which I think is pretty good. I’m definitely dropping Maths because I’d rather cut my arms off than do it for another year, it’s easy and boring (maths is, for sure, my strong suit) and I think I might pick up another AS because my school want me to get a…[Read more]
-
i’m into the more ancient side of things, as you can probably tell. :’D oh, maths is the subject i’m definitely keeping because it’ll probably be my easiest subject and it keeps me sane from all the essay-writing i have to do in all my other subjects. :’D oooh, awesome, what AS are you thinking of picking up?
-
I’d like to go for psychology, or perhaps biology – not that these things would benefit me particularly but additional qualifications are always good, but my school and my tutor have suggested I take music – because it’s mostly composition and I could complete it quite early on in the year, but I already have written qualifications in music for…[Read more]
