What was school like for you? Were you a respected DJ back then as you were now? Tell, and don't lie about it

I used to hate school, and I really do mean "Hate" with a passion . I used to be wound up a lot by my friends because I was a D.J at 13/14 they just didn't believe me.

However, when I was 15, I managed to get a "Gig" at my High School. I think even the teachers were impressed, and the attitude of my peers changed overnight and I got a lot more, of what you youngsters call "Respect" from then onwards....just a shame it didn't happen a few years earlier!.

When I was at school, I think young teenagers were a lot less mature than they are now. These days most young people have some sort of part time occupation away from School and that being a D.J at that age is more acceptable than it was 15 years ago.

I hate school, but love working in its theater. So i guess I have got to put up with it.

I hate school, its so boring, but still i'm leaving in 2 weeks-hey hey

It can't be that bad can it?

21st century, when is it. When i look around or go into town, any town, I'm sure most of them are in the 19th Century. Ah!, the British Deciese (sp)

Into The 21st Century

It is quite good for the 21st century i hate school, and i am modest, but i'm good at school though kind of an irony don't you think?

I loved school!!!!
It was just the lessons & the teachers I didn't like.
The social side was great, lots of friends, lots of parties, school trips etc but they do say youth is wasted on the young!

Thats good, I think a lot of pressure is put on young people today to do well and with regard to Exams etc. All I would say is that as long as you do your best then nobody has the right to criticise you - whatever the result .

I would advise the younger people on this board that you should aim for a career as well as D.J'ing and don't rely on the d.J'ing work when you leave school, as your sole employment!. However, if you continue on to College / Uni then D.J'ing is an ideal way to fund your way through, and also a good boost if you intend to go on to media / radio related occupations.

However if you do well as a D.J, and can do it full time then go for it, but it is also very important to have a career to fall back on, because you don't know what will happen in the future.

(Am I starting to sound like a Teacher yet??!! )

I loved my school Too!! From Primary to my secondary i was a favourite!!!

I ran the disco in my primary school using FAL lights and citronic turntables etc!!

My best lesson was music and i was a very respected member within the teachers etc

So come on then lets see whos going to beat me and others up who loved school LOLOL


Cheers
