Did you enjoy high school?

[darrow]

Hmm, I was unhappy, anxious, socially inept, harrassed, closeted in a homophobic town, weighed over 200 pounds(at my heaviest), had more acne than friends, suffered from headaches, embarrassing facial blushing, stretch marks and chronic loneliness. Nope, I guess not. lol

Wow, minus the weight issue you just described my own high school experience. It was a dreadful time and I had virtually no friends. At the beginning of each new school year I promised myself that would be the year I break out of my shell. Thankfully I have now broken out, but I think I would have benefited greatly had I been able to during those formative high school years.

High school=HATED. IT.

I really did enjoy High School. I tell the kids that are dying to get out, enjoy it while they can because they're never going to get that time back. I did extra-curricular activities (not the sexual kind either) during HS, so it wasn't like it was dull. Just enjoyed it, friends and otherwise.

I had a great time in high school, I did very well in my classes had a lot of friends, was in a bunch of different activites like ASB and marcing band (yeah I was bit of a band geek) I never had any problems with me being gay, I don't know if it was because I knew the kids in my class since I was in Kindergarten or I was just lucky but my time in high school was fun.

my high school years sucked =/ . im glad im done with it .

 

[jamesdevera]

high school was one of the worst parts of my entire life

hell... I truly hated it.

 

[Wajdan]

A disastrous time for me thanks to my psychological issues plus the gay bashing.

Same here. If I'd had access to enough firepower to seriously fuck some people up, I don't doubt that if I'd spent another year or two in that shithole I would've blown up or shot some motherfuckers.

Sorry.

Over the line. Way over.

Get some counselling help to deal with the scars, get on with your life and do not ever, ever again suggest anything like this on a forum.

You spend way too much time smoking dope and focussing on how shitty your life was/is.

Start investing some real effort into living. You've got a lot of years left to do it and you don't want to be miserable for all them.

It was okay for me, I was left alone most of the time but I did get called a few horrible names
I had quite a few friends and I knew most people even if we didn't get along very well I tried to leave most people alone and I was quite shy to start with so I kept my head down and did well. I am not really sure how well I knew my friends because most of them were older than me...
I would NEVER go back though. Never never never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hated...loved it...and I don't care.

I can look at my time at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem from all sides and there something to say for every different perspective.

I can argue that it was a bad school, an excellent school or a mediocre school and all answers are correct.

High school was fantastic in hindsight, it's all gone downhill since I left, and you have to do real work!

 

[hermanding]

some things yes - other things not at all. i can't say i ever thought i was accepted. and teens so dwell on that
ding

 

[clumsy_passerby]

I loved and hated it, mostly liked it. Junior year was the best year for me, I had an amazing time. Senior year was full of drama that soured stuff.
It would be three years ago, this summer. sigh.

One of the things about school was, it took me out of the house. Living in premises of a family run business meant that we had to help in the running of things, even though it was technically child labour. I was sad that my evenings were spent working, and not fraternising with friends, but during school time, it was good to have their company.

I enjoyed their company, and it made school bearable. I'd say if it weren't for my friends then, I'd not be the person that became the person I am today.

 

[condor221]

NO. Being gay and my high school did not mix at all. Barely got through school. Thought I was dumb. Than went to college.....Dean's list, President's list, etc. The higher in education I went, the better I did.

Meh, High School was indifferent for me. I was pretty quiet and didn't open up my mouth so I survived just fine. I was a good student, never caused any discipline trouble for the teachers or administrators. I wasn't out in High School so didn't worry about that though a big rumor went through middle school that I quickly denied. Honestly, Middle school was more rough for me than High School now that I think about it.

So I didn't hate high school but I didn't particular love it either, I am pretty neutral about my experience.

The first semester sucked - was a continuation of the last of grammar school - went to a K-8 parochial school. Starting in 5th or 6th grade it got really bad - lots of name calling - fag, etc. Wasn't into sports - the "cool girls" were the worst. But once I made new friends in high school - it was a great experience. Spent a lot of time before and after school at the girl's school across the street.
