Some people peak in h**h school. Others remember it as the worst experience of their lives. Depends who you ask, but for most students, their sentiments about h**h school are quite negative.

Bored Panda has scoured the internet and found the most infuriating experiences from schools that people have shared over the years. We've got all levels: elementary, middle, h**h school, and even college and university – unhinged things, it seems, don't choose their victims by their age.

It's just infuriating because I know, and they know, how many talented artists we have in school. They have included art from students in previous Yearbooks, and they have included some in this one too! And yes, these are only a couple (maybe three, I'm unsure of one of those images, hence why I didn't post it here) of AI images from like, 15 in total, but diluting them with AI later in the book just feels insulting.
