High School Memories

[Renee]

How do you remember your High School years? Do you remember your High School years? Did you enjoy them or were you miserable?



Since every school has its cliques and groups who did you hang out with, where did you belong? We're you in with the popular kids, where you a jock/sporto, a delinquent, a head case, a nerd, a band geek or were you a mixed bag of several of those things? Ever wonder what happened to High School friends you lost touch with?



Do you still have your High School graduation pics, your year book? Do you ever look at them and say....Holy Fuck! What was I thinking or do you look at them fondly or not think about them at all?



The reason I'm asking is because I recently came a cross my own HS pics and personal crap at my parents house and while looking at them I couldn't stop laughing. Unfortunately I think my laughter was simply a nervous reflex to cover the feeling of opportunity lost. Back then I thought I knew it all, time sure has proven that wrong.  Christ, was I dumb.

I did not have a horrible time in high school, but I would not want to relive those years either.



My crowd was a combo of Asians, brainiacs and jocks. I have lost touch with most of them and I am fine with that. If some of their names come up, I wonder what how they turned out. But, I usually do not give them any thought.



I do not have any high school pictures, but my mom and dad have my high school grad pictures.

I can't relate Renee because my high school was not actually a high school.



There were about sixty students in two portables from grades six through twelve on the grounds of a church..



There were another thirty or so students inside the church from kindergarten through grade five.

Fairly decent high school days. Freshman and sophomore years in a catholic school that closed down. Ran with a decent crowd. Had keys to the school and a storage room that held our stash of alcohol in the ceiling. Junior year catholic school nothing major. Senior year public school in the work program and allowed to leave at noon every day. Skipped one day a week to go to the beach. I would go back if for no other reason than to do well enough to get a scholarship to college. Always a big s.o.b. so was left alone and never bullied in school...

Typical insecurities but not enough to ruin my youth....LOL

Keys to the school?

Christ, was I dumb.

I have no regrets! Good times, good memories.

I would love to go back to high school.  I'd have a lot more fun than I did.  



I got along with every clique for the most part.  Most of them would sit by me to get answers off of haha.  I don't know what I was though.  I hung out with a lot of band geeks but even the popular folks took band so they weren't really dorks.  I played a lot of full contact sports so I got on with the jocks.  I hung with the computer geeks on occasion.  I did drama and wrote a play do I got on okay with them.  I smoked weed once in a while so I got on with the druggies.  One of my friends knew a lot of skids so we'd party with them sometimes.  I was a member of the chess club, debated and did math tutoring so I got on with the nerds.  I also had a popular older brother so I knew a lot of his friends as well and went to their parties where all the sluttier popular girls hung out.



I used to skip out a lot and hitch hike to neighbouring towns.  Sometimes my bestie and I would spend the day at their school or we'd meet up with older guys and get drunk.  I never dated any one I went to school with only older guys.



I had a lot of fun during my school days.

Yep it was great. Never did anything wrong as far as cheating in class or anything. But we were not saints by any stretch. Keys to all the vending machines as well.

That's just fascinating, Rohammad.



Although I'd wager that you never went to HS. I'd say you were raised and educated in some rainbow coalition progressive, commune.

I hated high school.



I did not fit in, utterly failed to see the point of the crap they were filling out heads with (and still do) and did not have confidence and self esteem to socialise at any level, thus becoming an outsider.

So now we have a more complete psychological profile.

I think the next step is Uni-Bomber.

I had a blast most of the time back in high school. Being a farm kid, I took the big yellow bus for the first year and a half and then dirt bikes, the old man's trucks or old beaters to school. On the bus, I always sat at the back and smoked.



I was a metalhead who could fight. I harassed and bullied geeks, smoked pot in the washrooms, did acid in the cafeteria and got blow jobs in the old man's truck with Motley Crue cranked while parked beside the smoking area. In between all this I got in lots of fights, got suspended for threatening to punch out a teacher, never played sports and didn't go one week being sober.



Only regret I had was I would not have been such a bully. I get along well now with some of them that I picked on. It's fun to get together and joke about our crazy youth.

For once, your flaccid attempts at mockery actual have some roots in fact; I, like many others, sought authority and respect via wearing a uniform.



When I realised it didn't fit any more, I left.



But, trust me on this, I was not alone in using the badge as a psychological back brace.



Scary, isn't it?

I went to a very diverse high school. It was about 30% South Asian, 25% white, 15% East Asian(including SE Asians), 10% Aboriginal and 20% everything else. Most people self-segregated especially in year one. They intermingled a lot more by the end of year 3(grade 12) or if they played sports or were into music or drama.



I had an acne problem and stuck with fellow East Asians. In grade 12 I was on the girls volleyball team(my only time I ever played team sports). I was definitely a different person by the end of high school than I was when I began.

We had a lot of your type in my high school.



There were two Asian girls in my grad class.  We had three indo-Canadian guys.  One black girl.  The rest were white.
