What a joke. I'm a senior this year and very quick...

What a joke. I'm a senior this year and very quickly realizing that not only has this school failed to prepare me for college, but has also completely destroyed my mental health. The teachers and administrators preach about preparedness and advise us towards college credit classes, but in my case, the credit's I've earned for college won't even transfer to the college of my choice.
My home school would have been better. I would have graduated a year early and with more college credit that ACTUALLY TRANSFERS. Most kids go in curious about their major and considering it to be a career option, but when you realize it's not for you, you can't change anything. A subject that I hate with a teacher that's so biased that he literally divided us into a "bad" class and a "good" class is ruining my prospects at a 16k scholarship that could substantially improve my living standards in college just because he feels I don't try hard enough.
Not only are the teachers a joke, but the student body is extreme. The kid next to you is either extremely sweet and helpful or a total dick for no reason. I tried to address a bully with admin at the end of my junior year and had full proof (witnesses, text conversations, etc.) and admin asked if I wanted to call him in and talk. I can't jokingly call my friend a douchebag without getting in trouble, but I have someone specifically threaten violence against me and they ignore it.
The campus is disgusting. The grass on the field is half-dead and most of the time we're not even allowed on it unless we're in PE or a sport. You're restricted to a tiny area in the middle of campus to eat where not enough seats are provided for every student. It's brutally hot outside and the overflow of students are forced to sit there, and refused access to hallways and classrooms during lunch periods. Not that there are many hallways to hang out in anyways, considering most of the school is housed in portables.
The one thing that SE tech tries to boast over other CTE schools is that they offer sports, but from my personal experience, most people on the teams are rude, stuck-up, and unbearable. The volleyball team, for example, holds a collective holier-than-thou attitude despite losing almost every game. I'm suprised I didn't play for my home school sooner.
When I look back on all of high school and realize how bias, rude, and unprofessional the staff has been, as well as how horrible some students have been as well, it's no wonder why I'm so chronically depressed.
