Hello, I am a 15-year-old boy from a big city and I am currently in a situation where I do not know what to do. I study in a very relaxed school, I don't like it. You learn absolutely nothing there and I want to have a good education. The problem is that I want to move to an elite school, but unfortunately this is impossible. Now I just don't know what to do, I studied a lot this year to have good success and to be accepted in a good school, but it doesn't work. Maybe this famous 7th grade was really very, very important. I made the wrong choice of school, I realized it only when I finished 8th grade. If it was under the old law, everything would be in place and I would go to an elite school, but I can't go back in time. I tried to change the situation, (to move) but .. I don't think a person is big enough, to judge what to do with his education at the age of 13 (7th grade). I just don't know what to do, whether to keep studying or not. After I was told that there was no way to move, I completely lost the incentive to study and everything else. How angry I am that I didn't go to a good school when I had to. Well, in the end, I seem to have failed my education, and therefore my future. Is that so or? What should I do now? To start working and leave school (There is something to work) or still study, I do not know. I think I ruined my life, in short. If I have to, I will be 7th grade again, I would agree, if there is an option to be 2nd grade back, but there is no way simple. The others will fix their lives, they will have good professions, and I ... Why did they change this law with the application? !! I do not know what to do. How I want to go back 2 years. Am I the only one in this situation? Say what you think. I don't know if it's my fault or those who changed the law (to some extent they, in my opinion). I'm just depressed about all this. What should I do now? Looks like 7th grade probably determines your whole life. Too bad I realized it too late.

What do you think is taught in these "elite" schools? And there they learn the same nonsense, isn't the curriculum the same, they just keep learning all the unnecessary nonsense, along with the really important things (the ones that are mentioned). Why not look at it from this point of view: in this school you are in, you will earn whatever grades you want, learning only the basics and so you will have time to educate yourself for others, as well as to study in an area you like. (to take courses, etc.). Secondary education is not decisive, yes, it is best in a vocational high school, whether it is elite or not, but, as I said, you can compensate for this with courses or self-study.
You do not appear to be aware of the application law. Yes, they changed it, there will be HBO in 10th grade and applying again. Search the topic on the Internet (although there is not much information yet), study and do not despair.
Nothing is lost! Keep studying and when you graduate, be very careful about which university and which specialty you choose. Secondary education is not so important. I know people who literally studied in a gypsy school, but then they got a job and accepted a good specialty at the university and now work in large international companies for a good salary. So the important thing is not to make mistakes there! And now just try to make the most of the situation and at least get good grades, because it will be important to you later.
Nonsense, I was in a school where 6 people wrote to us like that and we didn't study at all anymore, and now 2 are abroad, 2 at Sofia University - one is Medicine, and the other is Computer Science. Your future depends only on you. After the 12th grade in Bulgaria you will be accepted everywhere, and how much you will study depends only on you. If you learn English now, you can get a certificate with which you will be accepted abroad. In 7th grade I didn't care at all which school I would go to and with a few friends we agreed to enroll in one class and we were accepted.
I think that choosing a university is many times more important than high school. High school is the foundation, but it doesn't define you completely. You can study in the simplest school, as long as you have the desire, anything is possible. Narrative subjects are easy from the point of view that even if you are taught by a completely inadequate teacher, you can read at home, study further and gain knowledge. With mathematics, chemistry and various other such subjects it is a bit more complicated, there it is already necessary to have a decent teacher who will pay you at least a little attention. Still, it is not impossible to cope. There are lessons as well as consultations. I went to neighbors to explain tasks to me when I felt I couldn't do it alone. Your future depends mainly on you. If you stop now and start working, then in years to come you will realize that you really made a stupid decision. Look at it from this point of view, if the mass of students do not care to open a textbook, and you study, your grades will still be high and you will have a good score for applying. Of course, the knowledge will also be there, because you will have made an effort for 5 years when no one else has. And your teachers don't have to be good at all, because students neglect their education. I studied in an elite school, we had people in the class who were not interested in anything related to learning at all. And they passed. For 5 years I know only about two who stayed and that is because they did not take advantage of the opportunities given to them to go to the upper class. Most teachers try not to leave anyone, they can intimidate him and let him feel the bottom hit, but they let him go in the end. It won't be any different at your school, the difference is, that disinterested students predominate there and it is easier to get high grades. Learn, you do it for yourself. Nobody will be interested in your high school, but in your grades and exams. And to get into the worst school, you can still be educated with more desire and apply to a good university, to graduate with a good specialty, to have the dream job.
I entered a not so "elite" school, now I'm in 12th grade. However, things are the other way around. Big seizure, for 6 you literally have to stay awake for 3 days. And the "elite" at the moment, at this time of the year, the 12th grades 1) write them 6 so that there is and 2) do not go and no one asks them for a note, and with us ... Don't you go for 1 hour , the absence and that's it ... and that's why we're all there and still doing tests, studying, etc. So, don't judge the book by its cover.
Stick to your textbooks and don't wonder why. This is to your advantage. I studied until the 6th grade in an elite school. 2-3 if I scored a hard four, it was something extraordinary. At the end of the first term of the 6th grade, I was transferred to another school. Family affairs. I spent 2 months there. And miracles! 5-6, 5-6! My mother was suspicious because she didn't see me with homework or studying. And come back to the elite school. Eighth grade / before graduating and enrolling in high school, I was almost left for an exam. My success was 3. 71. I wanted to study to be a doctor. And from 4 high schools in which I applied with this success I was not accepted anywhere in the first place. With difficulty I was taken second in the third that I had recorded. Technical School of Motor Transport. Where is the doctor and where am I in the oils? !! I walked reluctantly. For three years I accumulated absences aha to be expelled. I was punished by school. Finally I got my diploma with 4. 78. From there I went at least to get a degree in the specialty, but I was refused after the first ranking where I dropped out. And for 23 years I've been digging in greasy cars and pulling my hair out. I think I explained it to you well. Strive to finish 7th and 8th grade with excellent results. And from then on, all the doors to which school you choose will be open for you. And one more thing: At school you are taught the basics. From there, you have to look for literature and fill your own brain. You can find a job without education. But I personally know two hygienists who, with higher education, wash toilets. Good luck and continue to enrich yourself with knowledge. Strive to finish 7th and 8th grade with excellent results. And from then on, all the doors to which school you choose will be open for you.

Hmm, I don't know. I am very angry that I made such a mistake. I will ask if there is any way to be 7th grade again. I just don't see what I'll be like if I graduate where I'm studying now. I want to be in an elite school. And you, what do you think? Do you think it is possible to repeat a year at will?
From personal experience I tell you - there is no point in these schools elite, neighborhood, failed, etc. This is the biggest misconception. Universities don't look at which school you were from, but how successful you are. Don't push yourself, because you will go there and it will be very difficult to get grades. The teachers will crush you as if you were their slave and even if you know everything, you will hardly make 6s. You are still small and you cannot understand it, but you will grow up and see that it makes absolutely no sense. I've been to two "elite" schools, and now I'm 12th grade in a more relaxed and much better. If you study and know your lessons, I don't see what's bothering you about the school you're in. The important thing is the university and the diploma. I don't understand if this is a complex, that you study in a weaker school ...
Author: Okay, thank you for post # 9. No, it's not complex, I'm just too different from others because I study and they don't. The environment is not good in my opinion. My grades are good and I don't like to give hints (I know, it's selfish), and they don't like it very much. But still, I'm not tired of doing that. It can't be all done, can it? They don't like me very much, so I wanted to move, but maybe I've already thought about it.
From n. 9 / This about the hint is everywhere. Don't be interested in others. I don't like them very much either, but I don't care. Knowing that those who turn to you only when they need it (be it a hint, money, etc.) will never be useful to you in any aspect of your life. Hi-bye and that's it. If you don't like to give hints, don't do it. No one can make you do something you don't want to do. There will always be angry, dissatisfied people talking behind your back, so you don't care. I am glad that I am graduating due to the fact that I will never see 90% of the people in school that I am forced to see every day.
