What did you miss out on in high school?

It's more of a regret rather than missing out but in terms, it's both. It was my Junior Year in High School and the Coach of my High School Baseball team (which I knew) asked me if he wanted me to tryout for the baseball team and he said,'let me know in two weeks. Well, the two weeks passed and I never did tell him. I often do regret it every so often I really wished I would've.

CinnamonBunNy, I had to take care of my siblings and kids our parents brought in. A lot of them couldn't take care of themselves. They were babies or disabled or just didn't know certain things. So I handled it.

I lost both my parents and then I thought the secret police were following me so I ran away and lived on the streets for eight months so I guess I missed out on a lot

Wow Tumbleweed that was more responsibility than most adults ever have. Is your life more carefree now?

Yes. I still help my family when I can but I can put myself first these days.

Yeah, thanks, but it has gotten a lot better since then :)

Tumbleweed: we lived in the country and I spent a great deal of my time with yard ]work, gardening, chores while my sisters created excuses to be gone and get out of it, so I know how you feel. And at this stage in my life I do put myself first...even though they are adults I've regretted putting energy into helping them because they are nothing but manipulation when I've ever volunteered to help them.

Half of the cheer squad.

Happiness and self esteem, for the most part. I hated it. Life began afterward.

lots

Anything going on with my peers outside of normal school hours. Dances, games, just hanging out. I couldn't because I had responsibilities taking up all my free time.

JudgerNautSquared: Minimum wages have gone up though, they didn't go up till over a year after high school and my high school job was a measly 3 hours and 75 % of minimum wage (because it was considered a training-on-the-job type job working for a school) and I lived way out in the country. My folks would tell me to save up my money but there wasn't anything to save. I did good if I had $5-$10 leftover every payday after car expenses.

@Cherokee- Man when I was driving to school in college I was paying nearly five bucks a gallon.

I didn't go to regulär HS, so anything they have, I missed. I went to a continuation school.

being asked out? only thing I can think of.

Tumbleweed: The child that is the most eager to please is the one that gets chores and stuff dumped on them.

I didn't go to prom and I don't regret it.

Pleads the 5th, High school was some wild times.

couchpotato: I didn't get bullied but there was a divide between the rich and the not rich, and I was glad to get out of that environment. I didn't have that feeling until I went to high school because the rich were clustered on the west side of town and I lived in the east side, and our junior high was on the east side. High school was something else.

Dating someone I was actually attracted to 😒

Hehe.. The middle option.. Lol tyvm! Lol :D

Getting laid and getting a decent education

Developing and exploring my artistic skills...I was into girls too much!!!

I missed out on really cheap gasoline by the time I got a car in high school. It had been as low as 19 Cents a gallon and I was paying at least 50-60 Cents (and minimum wage was the same as it was when gas was really cheap). So I had to limit my driving, which sucked because there are some fun places to drive around to around this area, most of them out of town.

My sisters are the same way. Very entitled. It's crazy.

@Onddruid damn, really? I am so sorry.

Tumbleweed that sounds sad... what kind of responsibilities?

@jar .I agree with you girl

TheJudgerNaut hope you made the other half happy ;)

All of the proms. I hung out with the crowd that thought proms were stupid. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

I hated HS...couldn't wait to get out...bullied mercilessly
