what was your high school experience like?

Question

I had a bad high school experince.I never had much of a typical teenage life such as going shopping a lot, going to lots of parties,and hanging out with the really popular kids.Being really cool and attractive.Today,I just realized that most of the popular kids are really just normal people.I visited some of those popular kids's websites and blogs ,they seem like noramal people to me.Most of them do not have what I have .some of the "hot" girls are now just average looking,to me , I don't think they are as powerful and cool as they used to be when they were in high school.
I'm in my twenties now.I think , because of this painful experince I became a better person.I don't think most of the popluar kids are that great,It's just that a lot of people know them in school,that's all.

Answer 1

I was invisible and happy about it. All the popular girls ended up getting pregnant or VD!!

Answer 2

My high school experience was horrible. Somethings, I think I have blocked out.. Kids are cruel and I was a target for bullying, I was not obbese but I was big, had severe site problems and was raised by my dad who had severe medical problems.. .. So i wasn't really girly back then and didn't have a normal childhood. I never had friends my own age... I always liked to hang around adults. I guess I was way mature for my age but not by choice.

Today, I look at the "popular" kids and those who teased me. The majority are losers. Some in jail, some average, so who knows what happened.

When I dropped out of high school at 16 that was the day I received my freedom. High school was jail to me and I feel I served my time. I started night school immediately and that is when I started to really receive a TRUE education. I went to a horrible high school. I don't think I learned much from the fifth grade until I started night school. If I stayed in the day school I don't think I would have made it through college.

I can't stay angry about my school experience but I can make sure it doesn't happen to my kids.
My kids will have a different childhood and going to private school. I want them protected, in private schools they will not tolerate what I had to endure....

Answer 3

lol my highschool experience was terrible. I was well liked by all my teachers, but never paid enough attention in class to make any grade higher then a C. I was extremely smart though and tested high in everything. I just kind of saw everyone as dumber then me though, as if I was surrounded by stupid people. During the beginning of highschool I was in the drugie group, but after being caught a few times(not really but several close calls) and then being laughed at by my so called friends, I gave that all up, played football for a year and tried to restart everything. I had a naturally appealing personality and I think almost everyone I knew liked me, but as I said, I saw everyone as stupid so I tended to stay away. Since I was no longer a drugie, friends were not massed aroud me. I stuck by myself, enjoyed what I could, tried to befriend who I could. I applied for the college that was intown, I easily was accepted, everyone else moved away and now I'm making tons of friends at college and will be studying abroad in september. I consider my experiences in high school to be a test of my tolerance, to be able to prepare myself for the variety of different people I will encounter later on, but I can't say I really learned anymore then I could already find out on my own. Most people either hit bottom or average out after highschool. Then you have the few that soar higher once given a bit more room. Highschool was a requirment I had to get past before I could move on, it was nothing more. I now currently am a computer technician and make more money then probably over half of my graduating senior class. They can be popular and think they have everything, but atleast I know that I can achieve what I want on my own and don't rely on cliques to make me happy.

High school is such a temporary thing but when you are in it; it's the whole world; it feels like your entire life is being lived in those 4 years.
