@...@Sadako: You put if far more concisely than me.<br /><br />@Shalonda: At least we have Facebook to keep in touch with people. I'll admit I haven't kept my relationships very close with high school friends. I'm a terrible correspondent.<br /><br />@Diana Dang: I pay for the book smarts by lacking common sense. There are many ways to disappoint parents. (But many ways to make them proud too!)<br /><br />Nothing wrong with uneventful sometimes. And there wasn't much to the gang activity, though I've heard it's worse now. *shrug* Not something that affected my circles.<br /><br />@Steph Su: Well, I was naive too. (Any of my friends that did drugs? That had to be pointed out to me.) I pretty much agree with your last statement. While I enjoyed it, I don't really want to go back. It was fine for what it was but I'm past that.<br /><br />@BookChic: Yay for another person who liked high school! Being really invovled in a club helps so much. I've never had a problem with being myself since I lack certain social graces, but I'm glad you had that opportunity in college! (One thing good about my high school - we had a large number of openly gay people despite being a small-town Texas high school.)<br /><br />Maybe I'll write something like this again when I finish college . . .Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-68562538890205059682009-06-07T10:31:04.004-05:002009-06-07T10:31:04.004-05:00I enjoyed high school too.

I had a really fun time and quite often think about all the great times I had with my friends. I did love college a lot more because I felt I could be myself more (it helps when everyone doesn't know each other, lol) and that's when I came out. <br /><br />It is great to hear that you and other commenters had a good time in high school, as it does seem to be prevalent that high school sucked, lol.BookChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641362399541764523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-17746767361350561682009-06-07T00:31:40.560-05:002009-06-07T00:31:40.560-05:00My high school experience sounds quite a lot like ...My high school experience sounds quite a lot like yours, actually. And I'm surprised to find myself saying that. While I'm still not sure if I like college better or not, it was definitely better than high school. I always had a sense of my high school as being an okay place to be a student. From one angle my experience wasn't BAD; I wasn't bullied or anything, and yeah, the valedictorian/semi-popular thing I can relate to. (Although not the prom queen = drum major thing... if only...) But visiting it, and seeing all the things that I didn't even know existed when I attended--peer pressure, girls with too much makeup and too little clothing, guys trying to be macho, conservative close-minded classmates who rolled their eyes and talked back at every suggestion you made--seeing those things in a brighter light now makes me stand by my opinion: my high school experience wasn't bad, but boy, I'm not going back there if I can help it.Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-27833499456500524702009-06-06T21:12:22.951-05:002009-06-06T21:12:22.951-05:00Wow, I got to say I envy you right now.

(Having my books out and gonna study for exams but it's a bit difficult for me at the moment).<br /><br />My parents would love you so much right now if you were their daughter. They are pretty disappointed with me because I'm not doing so well in my math and science courses. <br /><br />High school is pretty boring for me. Nothing like the books or movies. Like, it is completely uneventful. There are a few cliques but it's not like they rival against other people. I live in a well off neighbourhood so there isn't any gang fights or whatnot. But if you travel to other schools, yea maybe. I don't like high school. Don't hate it but I don't like it. Can't wait till I graduate next year.Diana Danghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903093193311109863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-49116612950683360292009-06-06T20:44:08.902-05:002009-06-06T20:44:08.902-05:00What a coincidence.

I did well in sports and did well in school. I got student of the year award from two different teachers. I actually think my high school is a pretty good basis for my own writing and I'm happy I went there. But I wouldn't say high school was perfect. My family moved away and I hardly talk to anyone from there anyway, I just keep up with them on Facebook. It's fun to read about different high school experiences in books.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617683475866158090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-85378721895954905092009-06-06T20:14:34.087-05:002009-06-06T20:14:34.087-05:00I like it, too.
