Was your high school experience ..?

I was a "middle dog" - not a big dog or a little dog. I got along with everyone and had a lot of friends, but because of my birthday, I was young (I started college at 17) compared to most kids. Fortunately, I was taller than most guys so I wasn't targeted for bullying.

My high school memories are overall good, but I grew as a person exponentially after I left. There are those who peak in HS, and I'm sure they dream of those days. I occasionally think of my time in HS including the guys I know longer stay in contact with (I graduated in 1975 so it was a while), but I don't long for them.

Frankly it was a living Hell. I never want to go back to highschool.

Almost every minute I was in high school sucked. I wish there had been somebody like Mr. Hand, but most of the teachers were jaded hacks just going through the motions. I learned more ditching classes and sitting in the library. All the student elections, "rah rah" football crap, and teen social nonsense was excruciatingly juvenile and boring. I dropped out after my junior year, and got my diploma a year later at adult night school. I eventually went to university and graduated with high honors and a perfect GPA. High school is a waste of time. I feel pity for those who attend depressing reunions every ten years, for whom high school was the high point of life. Not much could be sadder.

While I loved the girls I hated school because I was in special education and did not get along very well with many of my classmates in special education, if it wasn't for the pretty girls I would've dropped out of school and give up on life, the best years of my life were the last seven years (with the exception of 2020 of course).
