i duno if other people feel like this but feel so shitty and sad cause it seems only thing you can talk about people is dumbass studying
Like seriously 99% of my conversation with people are 'Did you did homework/what did you get in last test/ hey how are you going with *insert subject*', i cant even remember what i used to talk to my friends about before

It'll pass after this year. Then it'll be work/uni they'll talk about. People always talk about the things that take up a majority of their time. At our age, this happens to be school.


However, it doesn't mean you can't talk about other things. At recess/lunch I talk to my friends about TV series/movies/what happened on the weekend/funny stories.

If you're not so fond of the school talk perhaps you'll have to take the first step and ask somebody about movies/TV shows they recently watched.


Game of Thrones is brilliant for this, lol

tbh, i think its about the environment we're in. we're in one of the "most important" years of our formal education and its what's on everyone's mind. it definitely sucks and is sad if that's all everyone ever talks about, but if you don't like what you talk about with your friends, find new ones or change the conversation to something less academically centred. another alternative is to probably remove yourself from other people for a while and just enjoy yourself whilst everyone is caring about petty things. just don't get too caught up over it because its not worth worrying too much over.

dw, it will definitely pass over time. and best of luck!

Can I suggest OP that you can be the circuit breaker in this?

Initiate a convo not about school. Deflect convos about school 'We talk about this enough...what are we doing for schoolies". It can be so easy to get down on it while you perpetuate it. Spend some time with HSC survivors and talk all things not to do with school, it helps.

Take some time out for a jog or martial arts or anything non-school. Eat some cheesecake and watch GoT one Thurs night and not feel a speck of guilt and recharge your mind. Request your parents don't ask about study or school as it crowds your rest space.

Be the circuit breaker OP, you are master of your destiny.

As per what she said, be the person that initiates the conversation, make it different, talk about other things. Anything as simple as 'what did you guys get up to on the weekend?' would be good. Destressing, doing other things such as sport, crashing at the arcade (although I don't recommend it, as if I did it I would stay there for like 3 hours on end) or maybe spend some time alone watching TV can help. As they said before, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Do what you think is right, but remember to keep a balance between socialising, leisure, work and relaxing.

Many people will disregard what I say because I'm branded a 'dropkick' at my school due to my relatively poor academic achievements, but being academically gifted does not guarantee being successful in life. Do what you think is best. As per my school's motto 'Faber Est Suae Quisque Fortunae', every man is the maker of his own destiny. I may not be the best scholar and get the best marks or ranks, but its the other things that I'm good at, such as giving advice about life or driving, that compensates for being academically challenged.

It can also be said that the people that seem to do the most fun stuff and be juggling a million other things can do really well.

It's because they only work in productive pockets and don't waste time.

Be happy.

You're only there for a few more months so just live it up. Study and talk with your friends about it when they bring it up.

When do they have the time to bring it up, recess, lunch? What's that? Probably an hour in total... just pass time and go with the flow

The hype surrounding the HSC is freaking insane. At the end of the day, it's your first admission ticket into university and not the defining one (LoveHateSchool, Exposing the HSC, 2013, page 65)

Uni is far more difficult than the HSC (although they're quite similar in terms of study techniques etc...) but because there's hardly any hype surrounding it, uni students are generally less stressed relative to how they were in high school.

Good luck.

I used to have that problem too... Then I go with questions like "what are you going to do this summer/over the weekend?" People like to talk about what they enjoy doing. Then if we click and the conversation keeps running, it keeps running. If we just cannot click then I guess there are people you cannot always talk with.

Perhaps you can proactively try to shift the conversation away from studying to what people like watching... by consciously focusing on extra-curriculars the individual like-i.e. for example, they might like cooking or share an intense interest in the arts, for example, you are going to achieve conversations that is less academically focused but equally effective in sustaining your current friendships and relationships

I know exactly what you mean, just try to steer the convo away.

 

[Kurosaki]

As aforementioned, just steer it away to other stuff: games, sport (esp. with FIFA World Cup coming up), plans for holidays, what they're reading/watching...there's a lot of stuff to divert the conversation too haha.

Man no need to push yourself too hard to socialize if you absolutely don't want to socialize. Find a club that has an activity that you like, like me I found a basketball group in my neighbor, and they've been my best buddies since then.

 

[mirin]

Go out clubbing if you're 18, have a fun time
If your under 18, i suggest you take a stroll in the park kiddo.
