Omf yes! I was in Year 12, I slacked off on my studies but I did well in the school clubs like the dance, music and debate ones, there were some cringeworthy moments and a guy I had a thing going on with, it was a rollercoaster ride overall but I miss it

Yes, one of the bad years of my life......... most people enjoy those [i]glory days[/i] not me, I'd like to delete 14-17.

do you mind sharing why?

@Lolco-: At 14 I made some bad choices, ran away from home for 3 days before I was found and had a falling out with my dad (though my parents are married and we lived in the same house) for awhile I completely hated him because I thought he was angry at me when in reality he wasn't I was the one holding the grudge. My grandmother died, I almost went into a diabetic ketoacidosis coma the night before her funeral which led to my diabetic diagnosis, was able to get stable enough to go to her funeral to just have some family drama take place and the following day be hospitalized until my diabetes were more controlled.

15 wasn't too bad actually but why skip a year when you are erasing the ones surrounding it? :)

Between 16-17 I lost 3 friends the first in a game of Russian Roulette (though we are uncertain if he planned it to happen) at that friend's funeral his father (pastor) would not only preach him into Hell but for all of us (his friends) to join him, because he was gay, you see and that is where he belonged and everyone who didn't stop talking to him when they found out belonged, to this day those words Pastor H said is burned into my brain and I hate stepping foot into a church because of them, the second in a car accident during a drag race, and the 3rd in a car accident that some think was suicide.

So yeah though I remember being 17 there's a lot about that year and most of the teen years before it I'd like to forget.

Married my high school sweetheart, after high school and it was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made (And ultimately ended in divorce) People who go off to college in different towns and call it quits they are lucky, even when they don't know it. :)

[c=#BF0080]I was a senior and engaged.. when I think back it was the stupidest thing ever. Not the engagement part but the fact that I was so young.[/c]

Oh yes, I remember. Senior year was my least favorite year in high school.
