The best experience in High school was finding the best friend group to be a part of there is change when going to a new school and finding the group is scary but the friends give you the best high school experience. The worst parts were having difficulty in a subject and the teachers not understanding that you don't know what to do no matter how hard you try. They don't listen to what you are saying and that ruins your mood. I would like to see teachers listen to what students are saying about what they are teaching and how they are going about it. Not everyone can learn fast and learn how they are being taught.
