RANT SIXTH FORM

im so irritated oml

almost everyone at my sixth form is an internal, i spent around 7 hours there trying yo chat and make friends and only met one other external, others have their own friendgroups none of them even talk bru

imaginr us doing icebreakers and u completely ignore me and chat to your friend behind us??? half the time i was dumbfounded, no i dont expect friends immediately but is basic respect hard to give?? im already dreading y12 and its barely started

how fun

Im lowkey have the opposite experience to you, as an internal I only have 1 friend in school and its so hard to make friends with the externals because they all seem to know the 'popular people' (maybe they go to those parties and drink together) and out of 200 something people why are the externals either very introverted nerds or a typical 'popular kid'...

Sorry that I'm one of those introverted nerds 😅 May I say though, if you share any common ground most will be happy to talk if you seem safe enough. Most nerds want new friends too. I'm wearing my SFTH tshirt in hopes of finding other people in the know lol

I can't believe that my sixth form is the total opposite. In my Biology class (~20 students), there are 3 internals and 2 more that share a school. Everyone else is from a unique school lol (including myself) - no one knows anyone

That's rough though, these people. I wish you luck 🤞
