What was high school like for you?

From an academic standpoint, I did pretty well. Got A's and B's for the most part (except for junior year math and chemistry). From a social standpoint it was pretty terrible. I had no friends and got teased a lot, and didn't even go to homecoming or my senior prom 😂.

Highschool was an awful time for me. I got bullied alot and had very few friends. I didnt fit in anywhere either. My depression and anxiety made it hard for me to concentrate on my school work.

@Littlewing I honestly don't know how I was able to do so well, being that I went through a major self-identity crisis during those years.

First year, I didn't fit in at all, I felt so out of place, cause I was a "street kid" and got into a really good school, where kids loved reading books and actually paid attention in class, which was new to me^^ Then I started having panic attacks, and flunked out.
Next year I went to a special school, for kids who were about to fall out of school, did amazing there... I never fully finished hs.

@SW-User I am sorry Cassie 💞
It was a weird time. I was in the Glee Glub, the orchestra, the Chess Club, the French Club and the BSU.

Secondary school was not good for me.
I didn't enjoy it, I was in a girls school and I didn't fit in. I was bullied something rotten.

@SubstantialKick it reaffirmed I was the outcast...

@SubstantialKick I'm sorry you had such a rough time too.

@Mellowgirl Thanks. I'm over it now and try to forget those years.

I was mostly a C student and was always quiet in class. I had a few friends but they were enough. At lunch, I'd usually spend it sitting with them or sleep on the bench in the courtyard for 30 minutes.

I also didn't go to homecoming or prom

I remember wearing black and taking drugs. And then I left my parents home, got an afternoon job, quit the drugs and getting my shit together.. Had been hard yet empowering, now that I'm thinking about it...:)

Same. I excelled academically. But was bullied badly. I had 1 friend though but she wouldn't get bullied. Only me.

I was bored and depressed. Felt like prison.

Great memories. A positive experience.

I got through it. I got better at the game as time went on. I made friends with everyone including the jocks, played drums in the spring musical, dated a cute junior as I graduated, got a pizza delivered to my psychology class, things like that.

I did well at school and had a small group of friends but there were a lot of mean girls.

They were so awful to the new girl that came in grade 7 and picked on her relentlessly that she tried to unalive herself.

Kids and teens can be such jerks. I am sorry you were bullied too.
