Come June of this year, it will be six years since I graduated from high school. Overall high school was very good. In fact, the library im at now typing this is across the street from where I went to high school. The building is vacant now because Detroit closed it because they’re running out of money. Sometimes i wish i could go back to high school.
But more importantly, what are your views on teachers unions?
School was good, only for the fact that I could skip school and spend a whole day playing video games. Now if I spend more that an hour playing video games I get really guilty about being lazy. Damn responsibility.

This.
You’ll miss college even more…
is your daughter in high school yet, HH?
I always and still do fantasise about being a jock in an american high school. We have the two tier jock/gimp stereotype here in Ireland but doesn’t seem to be as epic as in the States. Can anyone draw from experience??
The only thing I miss about high school is staying home, smoking weed and listening to Slayer.
It isnt as clear cut as the movies make it out to be. My highschool was divided by race,not class or niche.
High school was wonderful. I had one friend, couldn’t talk to girls to save my life, and was bored silly.
Been 13 years since I left. I’m married with two beautiful daughters. Fuck high school.
College was better; women are sluttier and more likely to “explore their freedom” and you can buy your own damn beer. Add to that living alone in a crappy apartment that you didn’t care if you trashed. God sometimes I miss not being married…

it’s not as glamorous as teen movies make it out to be.

I lettered in football, wrestling and lacrosse. I got laid like a rockstar. I probably would have anyway without playing sports, but it definitely didn’t hurt! There were lots of different groups, not just jocks and gimps. It’s not like the movies.

Same here, oddly enough. However, there wasn’t any animosity between groups because of this, it was just that people naturally gravitated to each other based on similar cultural upbringings.

You seem a little sad, or am I not interpreting your post correctly?
A few thoughts for your consideration:
-Sometimes when we look back it’s because we don’t have enough happening currently. Are you involved in lots of different activities that are fun and challenging, or are you currently in a rut? You can change this immediately all you have to do is take some action. Think about it.
-Ask yourself what exactly you miss about High School. If it’s the people you used to hang with maybe you can get together with them now to talk about old times, or better yet make some “new times”.
-Time has a way of making your memories seem just a bit better than they really were, we all do it with every stage of life. Try thinking about some of the things that you didn’t like about HS, the teachers, the length of the day, bad grades, pressure for better grades. How about not being old enough to do some of the things you can do now?
Just a few thoughts hope they help.

I dislike high school right now greatly. Besides the sports which are fun as hell, the people are annoying. I can’t wait to get to college.

I think it depends on where you went to high school. My high school was just like the movies and football was king. I got caught cheating a couple times but it was brushed aside because I was decent football player.

They’re still annoying in college. But you’ll be drunk more often so it’s easier to deal with.
What Teen movies show is exaggerated but still somewhat accurate sports players in general have it made, only thing is in the movies it shows them as idiots(Football players specifically) but at least at my school they were really smart as well as athletic, made me sad…
