Were you a loner in High School and if So what kept you from plotting the schools demise?

Question

I mean what is wrong with our youth these days?

Answer 1

Honey, there is nothing wrong with our youth......yes, an ocassional odd ball does horrible things and we all hear about it. There are thousands who do great things...all the athletes and cheerleaders and the honors kids and drama kids....schools are amazing places. I do my best to help the loners find a place to feel that they are needed too. We need to do a better job of that throughout society, so that no one wants to plot anyone else's demise.

Answer 2

I was an only child. I as you can tell am female. Back when I was in HS we all had our quirks but my problem was I just plodded along in my studies, guess I was more a social butterfly of sorts, Horses, music, church, good plain living, Young Life Christian Group & FBLA. Now, we did have a few screwed up ding dongs in HS that everybody kind of kept an extra eye on but nothing really serious. What we all worried about the most I guess was the racial tensions and HS tensions between our HS and the one ours evolved from. We were constantly seeing certain idiots from both our HS's get into fights with each other but for the most part back then, our main concerns were dates, who's going w- who to the football games and what group you were in that particular month! A pretty good group of kids actually. I think we had more screwed up parents than kids actually now that I think about it!

Answer 3

I was a "low life red-neck" and a "retard". The *ssholes that I went to school with wasn't worth going to jail for. This especially true since the fact that a major of the very same ones that thought they were bomb when we were in High School are either in prison themselves, they work a menial job that a 16 year-old high school drop-out can do because they flunk out of college, or they are in a marriage were the spouse hates the other spouse with a true passion.

These kids nowadays have it in their heads that they can do whatever they please and they no one, not even their parents, have the right to correct them.

Answer 4

I was definitely not a loner. Back then, even loners had school spirit and blended in with everyone else. We tried to include each other then. No one stood alone. It was different then and I wish kids today could enjoy that friendship with each other.

Answer 5

Yeah, really! Why don't they just write notebooks of stories and draw some awesome cartoons and whatnot to get it out of their systems....

By the way, loners aren't always failure students...they can be honors students and have achievements...contrary to what the lady below me might think.... Eizus has a BIG point. We didn't behave so selfishly and Ayn Randishly.

Answer 6

Yeah, I was a loner, but I knew that all the preppy snobby girls would flunk college (cuz they cheated off each other and therefore couldn't survive on their own) and/or get knocked up (because they were sluts). Why plan their demise when they would do it themselves?
And I was right.

Answer 7

I had a few good friends and never thought of myself as going to be there that long. the four years took, at that time, forever but I always new it was temporary, I hung around a lot of college and military guys maybe that's why.

Answer 8

I was afraid of authority because I had been abused by authority figures.
Teens today who have been abused, have accessibility to weapons, the computer, cellphones, and friends who are mobile

Answer 9

I was kind of a loner, but I just kept looking forward to college.... it was SOOOOO much better.....
