Yeah, I find that. I'm in year 11 now, and it's the best year socially, but the worst year with all the GCSEs. Year 8 was the best, it was the nothing year, there was exams but they meant nothing. Year 9 was SATS and years 10 and 11 were OMG GCSEs!!1!11

I'm really not sure. I mean Ive rarely had any detentions at all and Ive been on the bad behaviour ordit once in my whole 5 years of being here, and that was forgetting my Maths book; I wouldn't call myself nerdy though, I'm just careful. Ive been sent out the room a few times xD

I'll have to do it like cookie, as you really do change each year.

Year 7; I was about 11, and I was a proper nerd. I was a loner too, I hated year 7.

Year 8; everybody becomes rebels and thinks they're hard. ugh. I see year 8s around school now and I'm just like ugh GO AWAY. They walk around swinging their shoulders because they're not the youngest year any more. In year 8 I stopped doing all my homework on time and maybe started talking more in classes. I wasn't a reb but I wasn't such a goody-two-shoes.

Year 9 is one of the best years, though teachers never shut up about SATs, which don't even really mean anything. Year 9 is when you find the wonders of make up, though now I see girls in years 7 and 8 covered in make up, it's just wrong. Year 9 is when you get a name for yourself and for me, it was "goth" ;D

Year 10 is pretty epic. You have teachers ranting on about GCSEs but you don't actually do much as you think 'eh, I have next year!', I so wish I hadn't done that now xD In year 10 you become more rebellious in and out of school, getting drunk on evenings etc. You leave coursework to the last minute and talk pretty much all lesson. I was still a "goth" but people still thought I was alright!

Year 11 is the year I'm in now. Our school is divided into two category's, popular and unpopular. If you're not one of the popular groups then you're a nobody. You get bombarded with coursework from every lesson but you still have time to go out and get really drunk and stoned, I started doing more of that in my seniors (10 & 11).

I hang around with a weird group of friends though. Me and this other girl are the "goths" though I'm really, really not a goth, and this other girl is more a "trend" and there's a few guys who are the "geeks" and then a few other people who are just "normal". I'd say I'm just the Nice Guy/Girl next door genre, I wish people saw that I'm not such a 'goth'.
