Biology or Chemistry in High School?
Hey everyone! I’m about to enter my senior year of high school in Japan. We have a three-year curriculum, and so far, I’ve taken one year of physics, two years of biology, and two years of chemistry. I’m planning to pursue a nursing career in the US, but my school only allows us to choose between Biology or Chemistry for our final year. Which subject do you think I should pick?
Why is there so much rudeness around here? Every time I come across someone sharing their frustrations in this sub, the comments often dismiss their feelings with things like, “You’re too soft. The real world is tougher,” or “Well, in MY school…” and “What a wimp. Just deal with it.” Did no one teach you […]
I have a deep-seated fear of school shootings. Recently, I’ve been incredibly anxious about the possibility of such an event. Many nights, I find myself in tears, dreading the thought of going to school the next day because I can’t shake the feeling that something terrible might happen.

WHO DECIDED TO REMOVE THE FLAIRS? I saw someone mention they couldn’t add a flair, so I took a look and noticed that ALL THE FLAIRS ARE GONE!
Hi! It’s great to hear that you’re planning to pursue nursing. Since you’re aiming for a nursing career, I would recommend taking Biology for your last year in high school. Biology will provide you with a solid foundation in understanding human anatomy, physiology, and other essential concepts related to health and medicine, which are all critical for nursing.
However, keep in mind that Chemistry also plays a significant role in nursing, especially in understanding medications and biochemistry. If you have the opportunity to take supplementary chemistry courses outside of school or in college, that could help balance your knowledge.
Ultimately, if you feel more confident in Biology and are interested in the human aspects of science, go for that! Good luck with your decision!
