High school?

Does any body ever think about their high school years? I always see these movie that depict high school as fun but I had the opposite experience. I remember most of my classmates for a the mean things they did to me. I don't think about it all the time but twenty years later I still can remember it like it was yesterday. I get frustrated with my short comings and wish I could re write the past. It doesn't make sense dwelling on the past, I don't know why I can't move on.

High school?
It was a double edged blade for me. I became friends with the people labled as 'freaks' and when i'd walk down the hall people would openly talk about me to get a rise out of me, tease me, i even got spit on, on a few memorable occasions.


But my friends were there with me through most of it and helped me laugh it off. Basically, we ignored them and did our own thing. Eventually when they realized we didn't give a damn what they thought about us, they laid off.


I think most people have some bad experiences in HS. It can't be helped. People are just insecure and put oters down to make themselves feel better.


But i gotta say, the highlight of my past year was running into one of the guys who used to make my life hell, and having him ask me out. I wasn't mean, but i did feel redeemed.


I guess i can say that at the most, you could learn from your past experiences. Chances are tey made you a better, more understanding person.
Reply:Maybe you cant move on because you think that what happened to you was unfair?


You have to remember, what goes around comes around, and instead of regretting things you did, remember, what you are doing NOW will be your past in a few years, so give yourself something good to look back on.
Reply:If you think about the movies, isn't there always someone in the movie who gets picked on or maybe has a bad high school experience? You have to remember that movies contort things. I watch movies and am always saying "girls are not like that in high school" or "cheerleading isn't like that." Movies go with what people say and think; not what it really is.





Also, is there something in high school that you regret? Do you wish you had kept in touch with some people? Could that be the reason why you feel so negatively about it? High school isn't perfect for everyone.
Reply:why did you thing that people do things with mean? I think that's just because you think so much... many people are nice, and it's seem that you just remember the bad person !
Reply:well i am in high school right now and its all about who your true friends are. if your friends were mean, first of all they weren't your friend and second of all why were you with them? no friend should ever make you feel bad. all my friend make me feel good and are there for me always. i know who to stay away from. You don't need those who don't need you. so don't waist your time thinking about them because by the looks of it they never waisted any GOOD time on you. You control your life not the other way around.
