What a weird year this was, the classic 2000's was on the way out while the new - late 2000s creeped in.
What are some of your memories of this school year?

Key points to ponder while thinking of this time period.
This was in my opinion the LAST true classic 2000's feeling year.

Justin Timberlakes, Future Sex Love Sounds debuts, and starts to influence other artists.
Playstation 3 debuts to massive hype, Nintendo Wii debuts in the same week.
Mtv's TRL is already in talks of cancellation as early as January 2007 due to low ratings.
Facebook becomes popular around March 2007, and fully overtakes myspace a year later.
The Iphone debuts at the end of this school year.
Windows Vista is released and becomes a huge flop.
Beach/Surf shows such as Laguna Beach peak this year
The WB changes to the CW
Borat becomes a mini fad for a few months

The release of the Casino Royale remake, kickstarting the Daniel Craig era of James Bond movies.

damn beat me to it !
My thread is better tho lol

I was in 2nd grade during the 2006-07 school year. There were moments where I was teased (even by a teacher) and I contemplated suicide :(. However, I was able to stay strong and the school year was mostly fun. I met one of my best friends this school year and started doing announcements on the school intercom....I felt so proud (even though I was shy).

That's sad, a 7 year contemplating death. :( Well, it's good that you still had fun most the year. :)

Yeah, I know and it sucked but thankfully I didn't kill myself...my mother and my best friend (Daniel) helped me through it. With the exceptions of the occasional teasing/bullying...I enjoyed 2nd grade (went on trips, watching my favorite shows, playing my favorite games).

That teacher was a prick! There's no way around that.  >:( >:(  >:(

I know....I agree >:(.

It was my Senior year of high school. I joined track, for only 4, or 5, weeks, and that was it!  ;D
I came out to my parent (with my sexuality) in October of 2006. I was in tears.  :(

It was fun, we laughed, we laughed more, and then we graduated.  :o  :o

Unfortunately, early 2007 was when I started gaining weight. Oh, the horror!  :o  :o  :o

Sadly, that's not as uncommon as you might think. My younger brother also had a teacher that constantly gave him a hard time during his 2nd grade year, too. She was some crotchety old lady that seemed to hate teaching kids but kept doing it anyway for the money. This went on for several weeks until my mother and grandmother found out about it and then went to the school and cussed the teacher out. That was fun to watch. Anyways, I'm glad that you were able to get through all of that and enjoy your 2nd grade year overall.

As far as the 2006-07 school year for me. Well, I'm not gonna lie, I spent a whole bunch of time getting drunk. You could certainly say I was pretty reckless that year, but, hey, it was my sophomore year of college. When else are you allowed to be reckless if not then?

My teacher wasn't even an old lady. She was young (in her late 20s) and I even remember her name (Ms. Beck :-X).....however, thanks. I was able to pull through the bad stuff and have a mostly good year.

Also, yes....reckless in college is OK ;D. As long as no one harms anyone.

I can relate to you, man. I had attractive teachers in 6-8th grade that were sympathetic to my slow processed mind at the time but now that I look back, I know they were laughing with my dissers behind my back. And for that, they'll never see my amazing transition.

My personality is really indebt now. Haha

Yeah, I've definitely grown from that experience.

Did they ever give a hint, or show a sign, or signs, that they were laughing at you behind your back?  ???  ???

is it just me or was everyone in highschool that school year high?  Like everyone was on drugs

The whole CW WB thing did not even effect me, because I stopped watching THE WB sometime after 2003

She deserves to get her name aired out in public. Okay, maybe not, but still!  :P  :P  :P

Yeah.

You'd know for sure if you were me.

I'm more sad than angry. It's sad that there are teachers out there like that. I get that teachers can get stressed out and some children are snotty, and/or downright bad, but that's never an excuse to be a dick to someone who hasn't done anything to you as a teacher. Oh well, I'll get over it. It's nice to vent sometimes though!

I've been lucky to not have ran into a bad teacher.....yet. Teachers can play favorites too.

Woah, you came out to your parents? That's really brave. :o

That would explain a lot, but I think a more realistic explanation is that it was just Borat hysteria.

The whole CW WB thing did not even effect me, because I stopped watching THE WB sometime after 2003

That's the moment the classic 2000s morphed into the shiny modern 2000s. Along with Pluto no longer being a planet, and Facebook becoming open to college students.

August-September 2006 was jam-packed with pop culture changes.

Debatable on whether it's brave, or not. My parents are pretty open minded! They are a weird mix of open-mindedness and strictness. When it comes to social things, they're very open-minded.  8)  8)  8)

But thanks anyways for the compliment.  ;)  ;)

That's really fortunate (and brave nonetheless) :D

That reminds me, this is the year I started quoting not only Borat, but also Mr. T.  :-X

Its cool. They weren't the worst. People that diss you help you develop. I like to vent, to. Its a off my chest thing.

May have been a few changes but Damn  the 2006-2007 school year is my favorite of them all

It was one of my least favourite school years! I was in Year 10 (equivalent to 9th grade, I think) - the penultimate year of high school - and had just started studying for my GCSEs. My optional subjects were music, IT, German and sociology. It was the year I became fed up of high school and I was also ill a lot. It was the year I signed up for Bebo which was a very popular social network in the UK and Ireland (more popular than Myspace).

I think this was the 'peak emo' school year. A lot of my friends were into My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. I also think of this school year as the Timbaland year!

My favorite part would have to be the fall of the school year this year, it kept bringing in slow changes, it brought in ps3 and wii mania, its just so many things that were happening.

is it just me or was everyone in highschool that school year high?  Like everyone was on drugs

I definitely was not high on drugs that school year or any school year for that matter

Same here.

I was in Grade 9 too! :D

Bebo and Myspace were about as popular as each other in Canada. But did you guys in Britain use MSN too? I had a lot of British friends on MSN back then. :)

Funny thing is I actually don't rememebr MySpace being really a thing, however I remember Bebo being really popular here in NZ though at the time.

I don't do drugs sorry

It was a joke bud ;).

Social media was so fragmented back then. Not like now, where everyone is on Facebook. ;D

Was Bebo mainly for younger teens or something, because I don't know of any of my buddies that had an account there.

Bebo seems like something that wasn’t popular in America. Seems like it’s from New Zealand and I don’t know where else.

Yeah, we used MSN, but I was quite late to sign up to it and it was Windows Live Messenger by then.

I can tell you now I was! Good times back in Year 3 ;D

Bebo is actually an American website and it has it's headquarters in San Francisco. Apparently, it was really massive in the UK as well. At one point, it even overtook the popularity of Myspace, according to this article:

http://www.zdnet.com/article/bebo-overtakes-myspace-in-the-uk/

I've heard of Bebo, but I don't think it was ever really a popular website here in Australia. In fact, the local operations were closed in November 2009, because it couldn't compete with Facebook:

no one used bebo lmao

I'm not a kid today but based on what I've gleaned, it seems like it goes in a cycle because Late Gen Z kid culture (Late 2016?-2020) might be getting boring and depressing again like it was in the Early Gen Z kid culture (Late 2006-2010?), after Core Gen Z kid culture (2010-2016?) which had an animation renaissance.

Endless TTGO reruns abound taking up everything else, The Emoji Moive, good shows getting cancelled left and right, etc.
