I just graduated, and I don't miss a thing. I'm sure I might look back and appreciate it, but right after getting out, I'm glad.
My school sucked, it was full of nothing but preppy fags and bitches and whores.

Nope. Why the fuck would I miss highschool? I spent the whole time bored and wishing I were at college already.

I used to be bullied at school. Not really in harsh way but like an underdog or something but those guys were god tier in everything. I missed those days because they haunts me most of my dreams.

nyone else miss high school? It can't be avoided, high school life is glorified in like almost all anime, and playing Persona 3 made me miss high school days. All I have to say is enjoy high school life when it's still around, underage b&'s.

starting my senior year in september, and I cant wait for highschool to end.

If awesome things like in anime happened at my school then maybe I would miss it

High school was fucking shit. My only regret in life is that I grew up in America instead of Japan.

The only reason I miss highschool is because every anime / tvshow / videogame makes it seem awesome, and highschool in reality is boring.

also

>people still in highschool

i lol'd

I never even went to high school. My social anxiety was so bad that I'd just do anything to avoid. It got really bad when my one friend moved to another high school. *sigh*, so much wasted years.

Nah, High school sucked pretty bad.

>>23388356
This. Ten times this.

>>23388486
It's hard to enjoy high school life when you're a social outcast.

Not at all. Everything was just boring, and I never talked too much with anyone, except 1 or 2 friends.

I like it a lot better now.

>miss high school
Spoken like a true underage b&.

No matter how good your high school life was, college/university is infinitely better. Well, maybe not that extreme, but for 95% of people it is.

No I dropped out of highschool , it was horrible.

Nope, I was bullied by the future popped-collar bros in middle school and then we all went to the same high school together. Not til they started smoking a ton of pot did they actually leave me alone. Whereas in college I had friends, girls, a social life, and nobody bothering me. Now in the real world I make more than any of those dicks from high school. I won't even go to any reunions, they're not worth my time.

>>23388696
How is it better? I think I'm going to college eventually.

>>23388804
In college you get to choose what classes you're going to take, etc. Also if you're smart at all you're going to a better college than the morons who made your life shit in high school. College girls are drinking age and you can meet people just hanging around during classes; then have some drinks with them on the weekend. Compare this to high school, where for the most part you are with dickheads and can't do anything about it.

I can't go to a good college yet. I screwed my high school career up. I made start at a junior college and tranfer to a better one.

in a vague and visceral level I sort of miss it. I was drunk and/ or high every day, I got to fuck lots of bitches, and I got to beat up D&D and video game nerds. Yeah, it was almost fifteen years ago, so I might be biased, but god damn did I have a lot of fun.

There was this kid who used to hang out and carry around books and shit. Me and my buddies grabbed him, ditched his goods, and then duct-taped him to the hood of my car and ran him through one of those automated brush carwashes. Shit was so cash, he was crying and wheezing and shit.

In retrospect though, it was shitty to do- especially now that I'm ten times the geek he was.

>>23389101
What the hell sir.

What the hell.

>>23389101
I don't know how anyone can get any enjoyment out of torturing a kid like that.

OP, I completely agree with you.

Although my high school life may not have been as awesome as it is in most typical anime, or anything like Persona 3, I still miss it ;__;

>>23389101
you were the kid weren't you.

Anime glorifies high-school because Japanese high-school life is HORRID. It gives kids an easily-relatable escape, making money for companies and helping with the teenage suicide rates.

I couldn't have said it any better.

There's nothing particularly great about highschool.

If you like being physically close to people, join a commune or kibutz or community of some sort. don't worry, they are all friendly.

myself, i am very happy with /a/.

i miss middle school. i fucked up major time in middle school cause i didnt know shit. i could have had 3 fine bitches, but i didnt know what to do. when i entered high school and learned some of what i should do, all my options dried up.

>>23389832
Well at least that's better than a life of nothing.

I'm two years out of high school, and I rank those four years as the absolute worst of my life, no contest. Yeah, I had some friends, but they weren't enough to make up for the psychological torment of being put into a social situation I was frankly just not ready for (lol assburgers), combined with steadily dropping grades due to severe ADD that wasn't diagnosed or properly medicated until junior. fucking. year. Do you know what it's like to get an A in every single test in a class, but end up with a C as your final grade because you kept forgetting homework assignments despite your best efforts not to? I do, and it is not fucking fun.

I'm not naive or weeaboo enough to wish I was in the Japanese school system, but I know it would've been at least a little less stressful in some ways--larger focus on tests as opposed to homework would've meant much, much higher grades for me and a good chance of getting into a top university. Of course, the fact that I am an unapologetic nerd would've led to me being an even greater social outcast due to Japan's social standards.

I'm amazed that very few animes set in high school tackle bullying. Isn't that a huge problem in Japan?

>>23389872
because the otaku dirrectos have repressed memories they will not bring up.

My high-school was so awesome. We had so many adventures each day.

>>23389865
Yeah, I know what you mean. I supposedly have assburger, and I couldn't handle the social situations, so I skipped school whenever possible. I can't but think of what it could have been if I wasn't such a pussy, though.

>>23389848
what!!! my life is nothing now, i have no job, i dropped out collage because i couldnt stand anymore schooling, and i sit here talking to you faggots everyday while i watch anime and fap to eroge

>>23389872
lol at moralfag

I hated my high school life.
To start with, I had no friends. God forbid I didn't fall neatly into the druggie, meathead, goth, or choir boy crowd. The faculty at my school was all business, so none of them would dare form even a mentor-pupil relationship with students for some reason. The only thing counselors were good for was telling students they wanted to talk to their parents.
My family wasn't much of a help, either. My drug addict brother would regularly steal my money and video games because my mother gave him the key to my bedroom, and living in a distant suburb with nothing around for 10+ miles + no car = can't get a new lock. My sister, though only in elementary school at the time, was enough of a bossy bitch to make me avoid her like the plague. My father was never around to set any of these retards straight, and even if he had been around, my brother and sister walked all over him then just like they do now, but you'd better believe they didn't and still don't take the slightest shit from me. My mother, when not doing things like asking me to make the decision whether or not she should get a divorce, would always tell me what a pathetic fuck up I was compared to my brother, the golden child of the family even after he failed to graduate from high school.
Do I miss high school? Fuck no, and when I got the 10 year reunion letter in the mail, I just tore it up.

In a way, I do miss it. I have to say, my highlight of my high school days was senior year, cooking class. Why? Because I was watching Yakitate Japan at the time and that psyched me up. My cooking class would be an eroge. My partner was this quiet, shy asian girl, also had a glasses moe going on. Thinking back, she was a junior so I was her senpai. I can see it now. I ask her to stay after school to finish making our final project or something and the door would be locked. She would start mixing the batter and I would be behind her. "Senpai...did I put enough salt in this?" she would ask. "I don't know, let me take a closer look" I would reply. I would then put my hands on her soft shoulders and take a look. My hand would slowly slip down her shoulder and down her arm towards her right breast. "Y-yamete...we need to finish this for the f-final, Anonymous-senpai." she would say softly. "There's only you, me and janitors on the other side of the building, it's all good~" as I whisper in her ear.

Fuck yes! I...I miss high school now.

>>23389931
At least you dropped out of college. I'm in the same situation, except I dropped out of high school, and I only fap to shitty videos.

>>23389987
whatever, man. middle school fucked me up so bad, im now only interested in middle school girls.

There are things I regret about my highschool years. I always made an effort to do whatever everyone else WASN'T. If there was a trend, I was against it. If there was a fad, I ignored it. etc.

Taking the road less-traveled was eye-opening, but it also alienated me from people I'd have met, and things I'd have really enjoyed.

My memories of highschool are fond, but also empty.

Sort of, if only because I've spent most of my time since graduating high school being very bored. On one hand I spent a lot more time with the few friends I had (still have them, fortunately) back then, but on the other, I had to put up with my share of stupid drama that just turned me off from social interaction in general.

To give some perspective, it's been 3 years since I graduated high school, I've spent the first three years of college virtually alone, and I can already feel myself losing whatever little social skills I had in the first place.

High school wasn't all that great. It was much than my middle school experience. To this day i still have nightmares about the nagging and constant ridicule I got from my "friends". In every dream I try to stand up for myself but end up embarassing myself even more.

>>23390105

Been doing this. You gotta make the choice between an identity and a social life. If they're one in the same you're not likely to be found on this board anyway.

I'm glad I never have to go back to high school. It's pleasant knowing that you'll never have to be surrounded by such stupidity as that for the rest of your life.

>>23390172
You are me.

Fuck high school. I went to a shitty redneck one. People thought I and my friends were going to be like those Columbine kids (granted, two of us were wearing black and brown trenchcoats like faggots at the time.) I was in the "hurr punks" crowd, since everyone at a high school has to fit into a social niche. But actually I mostly spent my time playing EverQuest, pushed my absenteeism to the maximum allowed before it would incur an automatic flunk for the year, and the social activities everybody who wasn't a shut-in loser like myself talked about was every other weekend there'd be a gathering out in the woods or at somebody's house where a lot of people would go get drunk and fuck. I suppose the saving grace of it being rural was that it wasn't full of fucking psycho assholes and druggies--douchy stoners were the worst thing I remember.

The only sad thing is that I want to kick myself over now was once a kind of nerdy redhead chick who was senior to me by a year asked if I would be her boyfriend once while we were developing film for a class in the darkroom. At the time I remember thinking it was a LOLITROLLU and played it off cool, but when I see scenes like the one in bakemonogatari I look back and wonder if she had been serious and I cry. I cry like Shinji Ikari at how I could've nailed that cute redhead. My life might've been turned around at that point instead of passing the point of no return which I saw and just kept on driving by.

you said it

>It's pleasant knowing that you'll never have to be surrounded by such stupidity as that for the rest of your life.

I don't care if AT&T is blocking you, go back to /b/.

Meh it was alright. I miss it cause everything was spoon fed to you while in uni/college everything you do is your own responsibility which is a good and bad thing at the same time.

I miss the time I hung out with my little 'clique' which was basically composed of people that might have fitted in with the more popular groups but for some reason didn't feel like it.

Playing cards every day at breaks was awesome.

You better ask her out or at least fuck her or else your a faggot

Everyone here who says they don't miss high school is either lying and still in it, or just graduated.

Anyone else knows that once you grow up and enter the real world, you get nostalgic for your high school days.

I miss them for sure, not a care in the world, no responsibilities, just breezing through classes because, lets face it, high school is a joke when it comes to actual school work, and just hanging out with friends everyday.

I guess if you were a social reject and had absolutely ZERO friends, then you wouldn't miss it but honestly if you couldn't operate in the social aspect of high school, then your guaranteed to fail at every aspect in real life.

i'm a lot more bored at college than I was at high school

although I'm going to a small college now in a town where there is fuck all and I went to a big public high school in a city with all kinds of shit to do

to be honest, i wanna just drop out of college too and move to a more exciting place.

I wish I could do high school over again, because i made a complete fool of myself on a daily basis and i didn't realize it until recently. Now i look back on those days with shame.

I hated high school. Other than one or two wonderful classes, the rest of everything was shit, and I was severely bullied both by boys and by girls. And let me tell you for those of you who don't know: girls are FAR crueler than boys will ever be.

By halfway through my senior year even some of the teachers were harassing me, and I went full on hikkikomori for about five months on independent study. I barely graduated.

So no. Don't miss it one bit.

>>23391820

>Is it because of the stigmata of being an Otaku there?
>Stigmata are bodily marks, sores, or sensations of pain in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus. The term originates from the line at the end of Saint Paul's Letter to the Galatians where he says, "I bear on my body the stígmata of Jesus" - stigmata is the plural of the Greek word στίγμα, stígma, a mark or brand such as might have been used for identification of an animal or slave. An individual bearing stigmata is referred to as a stigmatic.

That's funny, OP, I'm in the middle of playing Persona 3 right now, but I don't miss high school at all. If anything, P3's far more enjoyable high school life just made me glad I'm done with my own much shittier high school. I just didn't fit in there at all, and got bullied a lot. I didn't really have any friends until my last semester before graduating.

But, college has been fucking awesome for me. I fit in perfectly there, have made a fuckton of friends, met an awesome girl, and am doing well in all my classes (except for fucking up and getting a C in chemistry, but whatever.)

College > highschool because in HS they have to accept anyone who walks through the door, even if they don't give a fuck about learning, and that brings down the quality of the the place for everyone else. College can actually kick retards who don't care out, or not let them in in the first place.

Shounen, Shoujo and even Seinen. Why does all modern anime/manga have to involve school? It wasn't like this in the past.

Anyway to be on topic I don't miss it much. Most kids were spoiled and arrogant thinking they were the best. The representatives were loud mouth jocks. The teachers wouldn't help when we needed it most. They had a severely bad case of "double standards" as well. The system wasn't flexible or practical. College taught me there are people who work hard and act sincere.

However one thing high school has is friends that I fully trust since I expect the ones at college to stab me in the back when it comes to an opportunity.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

good one OP. Ah, highschool, a world of spitball-exchanging retards, stupid bitches who even now don't understand even the simplest of machines because they were too busy doing their nails and shit, one giant, endless popularity contest where a bunch of gibbering knuckledraggers competed at who can be the most shallow bullshitter of the lot.

Graduating highschool was the second best experience of my life, right after leaving the army (I was conscripted). Not a day goes by that I don't appreciate how much better my life is now that I left that cesspool behind me.

>>23392135
LOL!!!!

Stigmata.

Unlike you idiots, I can be at least somewhat socially functional if I elect to be so the worst criticism I have of high school is that it was fairly boring.

University is and continues to be the worst years of my life, though. Even if you're somewhat asocial you're more or less forced to have one or two friends in high school because you're constantly with the same people, you can easily fall into total hikkikomori mode in college though, because if you don't take the initiative to talk, nobody is going to bother to talk to you.

>>23391859 Anyone else knows that once you grow up and enter the real world, you get nostalgic for your high school days.

Bullshit. I've been out of HS for ten years now, and I don't fucking miss it at all. I wasn't particularly unpopular or popular (basically I was a normalfag) but it was a whole bunch of immature drama and idiocy from people who thought they were much more important and mature than they actually were (and yes, that includes me as well.)

People who get all nostalgic for HS are typically the type of losers who peaked at age 16. They were popular and maybe even a little accomplished back then, and now they're just some anonymous drone in a shitty job they'll be doing for the rest of their meaningless lives. You don't miss high school, you miss the last time in your life when the world gave a fuck about you.

Would I want to go back to being a hormonal poser? Hell no.

I purposely avoided trends without realising that I got into trends that my friends got into. Even though I had the same groups of friends or acquaintances, I changed which groups I hung around with regularly because I was desperate to try to fit in. Naturally, I never got into the popular groups. I generally didn't do that well in class, and my final 2 years were especially shitty for grades since I messed around quite a bit. This lead me being pressured into a college and attend a course I didn't care about since my parents wanted at least 1 child that make something of themselves. I dropped out of that after just under 2 years.

However I'm going to university this year and I intend to improve social skills and general well being by attending a sports club.

I misspoke. It takes a great deal more effort to be social in university than high school, and I'm not willing to put forth the extra effort. It's pretty pathetic.

But this thread is fully of people even more pathetic than me if they couldn't do well enough for themselves in high school. There's a few decent excuses like going to a school of redneck idiots, but some just seem to have this worthless elitist attitude that was probably what made them as miserably as they were and nonsense about Asperger's (self-diagnosed, I'm sure).

>>23392283
my ass.
Grade school and middle school were fun. And so was uni (some of the best years of my life).

Highschool on the other hand sucked ass. There isn't a single course, a single teacher or student, a single moment that I miss. Not one.

>>23392345 Highschool on the other hand sucked ass. There isn't a single course, a single teacher or student, a single moment that I miss. Not one.

The problem is you're overreacting (as do many people who hated high school) in such a weird way that it just makes it immediately called into question. There isn't much a reason to hate high school as is, you're at the maximum amount of freedom with the absolute minimum amount of responsibility you'll ever be for your entire life unless you're either incredibly lucky later on (or unlucky during high school), so it's impossible to not have a few favorite moments. And as miserable as I am about university, I still have a few happy things about it (either because I was so miserable it was impossible not to laugh or some genuinely nice thing).

I think people who hate high school are miserable that they wasted their opportunity.

I mentioned it here before, but the latter part of my secondary school life was atrocious. For the first three years, it was excellent. Had a nice group of friends. The downside was, they were all skinnier than me. I felt horrendously overweight at 134 lbs. When I was around fifteen/sixteen, my self esteem just plummeted over it. I couldn't concentrate on anything, and I was just so depressed. I developed an eating disorder, and it was good for a while. All my friends commented on how, 'skinny I looked lately', and it felt good. Too bad I began to get worse as time went on. In my fourth year, I began to isolate myself from everyone; I always thought that my friends were trying to get a one up on me. This all stemmed when they sat me down one day and told me how bloody worried they were over me. I ignored them. Parents noticed, awkward times ensue. I refuse to snap out of it.

In fifth year, I've pretty much distanced myself from all those skinny friends, and I'm alone. Nobody wants to make friends with the 'creepy, anorexic girl'. It's about this time I start getting into anime, and I'm envious of how thin everyone seems, like it's natural for them to be that skinny. Manga is worse. In my sixth and final year, I was pulled out of school to be sent to a stupid little eating disorders ward, where I stayed for about seven months. It was horrible, and utterly soul draining. They refused to let me leave until I gained 20 lbs. When I finally reached my target weight, I was free. However, everyone else was after finishing school, all those important tests, and were going to college. This was last Summer, by the way.

I'd to repeat my last year, and I couldn't slip back into my old ways because my parents were watching me like a hawk. All this year, I've been working towards those silly college entrance exams, and I took them in June. I'm crossing my fingers now to get the points I want, and hopefully in college, people won't see me as a creepy, anorexic girl anymore.

OK I meant to say stigma as in:
"Is it because of the stigma of being an Otaku there?"

I was asking that question to: >>23389865

I wouldn't say I "miss" high school because I've acknowledged that it's all in the past, but I did go to a magnet high school for weird/nerdy/"artsy" kids (think 4chan posters in real life).
It was pretty intense. A lot of weird, epic shit happened there. Think something like a cross between Azumanga Daioh, Cromartie High School, and Haruhi Suzumiya if everything in those series really actually happened. That's pretty much what my high school was like. I fucking loved it.

Ahhhh High School, of course, it's secondary school for me here.

Yeah, well, I think it must be 9 or 10 weeks now, since I last posted on /a/, or 4chan for that matter.

And in that time, well what a change. Guess what I have now? A girlfriend? No, not yet. But I'm getting there, I now have a phone, and girls in my contact list, woah shit that wasn't there three months ago.

And I've been working out, like crazy working out. I look 18, but I'm 16. And it's gooood, oh yes.

In fact, it's really hard to type in my old 4chan ways, I want to elongate words and stick in smileys all over the place. Odd, eh?

Anyway, I hope my last two years of high school are good, they bloody should be, and the forecast looks good.
