Honestly, I hated highschool. And I hated it because of all the cliks and how superficial everybody was. High school was a viscous world. The secrets, the rumors the lies, the backstabbing, basically all that drama, really does just melt away after graduation. You just kinda grow out of it. Of course I had grown out of it in middle school which is probably why I felt like I was stuck in a pool of morons. The only thing I got out of highschool was a diploma. After your sophmore year, highschool is just something to keep you out of trouble really. You've got to realise there is more to life than the the popularity, being better than somebody else, or even bein at the bottom of the highschool totem pole.
Once college roles around, you do have to start over. You do have to make new friends, but everybody is in the same boat. Your social life does have to be rebuilt, but this time around everybody is more accepting, and typically much friendlier. But building these new relationships takes alot of time and alot of effort, which is hard to do in college b/c your time and effort goes to your studies. And its even more difficult the next semester when you don't have courses with some of the semi friends you had last semester. so the bonds that you were kinda starting fall alot bc you don't see them as much. I can't say about Frats or Sororities being as accepting. I'm not in one so I just don't know.
Bottom line is, the college experience is often better than the highschool experience. Yeah highschool might have been fun for you, but this is college here.... the real world... one where you don't have to raise your hand to throw a piece of trash away... one where you are you and nobody else and thats the person people love. Not the hottest guy/girl who's best dressed with the sweetest smile like in highschool. Right now if you don't have the life you used to its ok. B/c change is good. Just remember, its you that makes your life. And only you can give yourself the life you want.

Russ is right; once you leave highschool and your old peers, your social life will be reset. Then you can go through the whole thing again in college. Then at work. Except social status becomes based on how much money you make and other trivialities. Happily, people get a lot friendlier and more forgiving after age 17, so making friends gets a lot easier.

highschool has some of the best memories. but no the social life doesn't count.. Because most of the time people change and they are nothing like they were in Highschool. was they get into college and the real world. The truth comes out and people change forgetting what was in the past. so basically what i'm trying to say is stay true to yourself and others.

High School is just that ... high school ... nothing more nothing less ... other than getting you prepared for real life or college life the things you do and the people you hang out with won't really matter once you graduate. People grow up and change ... I wish I didn't care so much what people thought about me during high school ... I probably would have had a lot more fun ... doesn't mean you have to mope around school all day ... just don't kill yourself trying to " fit in " or be popular - it really isn't worth it ... !

High School is only an early chapter. In my experience each following chapter got progressively better. I was of "average" popularity in HS. When work & college took me out of my home town somehow my popularity and opportunities increased substatially.
In HS you are still shrouded by your family and neighborhood social norms - for better or worse. As you become a more independent human being, your life experience had much more to do with who you are and what you have learned.

Who cares what you had in high school? High school is for kids. You have much more to worry about than that. If you are an adult, you need to worry about supporting yourself, dealing with life as a whole, and just being a person. High school was stupid, it was instrumental in helping you grow up, but now its time to move on!!!!
