I'm bored in school

you could use a web proxy to play anything and go on any website unblocked, like this one I use: croxyproxy.com/social

I'm bored in school since they always block everything on the Chromebooks. Anybody know any unblocked game websites or unblockers?

world guessr for sure.

I look back and wish I had worked much harder in school when I was younger.

Later, I did work much harder -- after I had aged and matured sufficiently to realize that: A) even with talent, real improvement takes real effort; and B) wasting my own time was a mistake.

So, I have actual experience of which choices seem to produce better outcomes in life.

I think working harder is MUCH, MUCH better than fiddling around.

We only get to be young and in school once in our lives. It would be sad to waste the chance to learn how to do our best while still young enough to make a real, long-term difference.

Doing our best takes real effort. Often, I've found that the very bright -- when they are younger -- typically think that the world revolves around talent. (There are some who quickly realize it's not that simple, however).

But effort seems to be much more dependable than mere talent, based upon my experience. Many will find that disappointing -- others may find it a blessing.

I could be wrong, of course. But I see no reason for the unnecessary gamble.

If the math we are presented seems boring -- what's to stop us from first mastering what we're been given to deal with (without excuses or kidding ourselves) and then using books and other resources to go still farther?

It's hard to feel "bored" when we are genuinely challenged. And I've found that some of the most productive challenges are the worthy, useful challenges we set for ourselves -- like improvement at chess. Or math. Or a language. Or any other valuable, useful discipline.

But notice my inclusion of the adjectives "worthy" and "useful." Challenges need to be picked wisely.

superhardalgebraproblems.com is a great one. Before you judge it, just look at where the URL goes to, kay?

Be warned! Your school's network administrator is tracking your activity. That's his job.

Right! we need challenge in school, else we don't learn how to work. The exceptionally bright (me) often fail in real life. Public school system is for the masses. Parents have to know their children well and take part in their education, not just send them off to school.

I play lichess all class but I hate literally basically everyone in my school thats the issue for me

@thebard65 , it appears that we somewhat agree that public schools (using the term as Americans, not Brits, would) can be a mixed bag.

I think they should never be about politics (although sometimes they too much seem to be, lately) but they should rather teach kids HOW to reckon with worthy challenge and become lifelong learners. And they should put up with far less nonsense, for the sake of the many kids who really ARE trying to learn.

But not all private schools are devoid of nonsense, either, and there ARE a great many excellent, thoughtful, very-hard-working teachers in public schools. Although it is rare for any institution to have NO disappointing participants.

But, even in a mediocre school it is possible not to make excuses and to strive for self-betterment. And that can lead to some good habits. After all, once we enter the working world there is often NOT a lot of "hand-holding" and "head-patting," either.

When we learn to try to do our reasonable best -- and not kid ourselves or waste too much time complaining and excuse-making, we have learned, I believe, one of the most valuable preliminary life-lessons.

We are all, ultimately, responsible for ourselves. And -- I hate to use perhaps the stalest cliche in existence, but --- if we find ourselves with lemons we might as well try to make lemonade, metaphorically speaking.

If we just hurl the lemons to the ground and complain, those lemons aren't going to magically turn into gold nuggets. They're just going to turn into dirty lemons.
