But do we walk into your threads where you say something is difficult or complaining, and talk about how much better you have it than a homeless starving person?

Apples to oranges comparison. I think what most here are saying it that they have experience with both, and High School was much easier. Now, I must disagree a tad. I haven't had a hard College Class, but I have severely disliked a couple and decided not to take the final. That is bad.

Well good for you, but not everyone is majoring in Physical Education.

Perhaps you should take English again though (mores?).

You never had a single hard college class? Jesus what'd you major in?

I have not finished school yet. Secondly, my high school was a tough school so it prepared me well for College.

Finals in high school were nothing. The teachers always take the last few weeks, or even month to help you review.

HS is where your confidence is built. College is where it is crushed. :D

I wasn't too pleased with my college GPA but then again, I didn't really start "studying" until Junior year. :(
