highschool foreshadowed what would be the life I know have. If I was a loser in highschool, I definitely will be a loser after highschool, the rest of my life.

>Implying high school sucked

High school was the best time of my life. I want to go back to high school and relive it. Such fucking amazing times.

>>400236
Yeah but middle sucked donkey nuts.

I was the kid that everyone expected to eventually shoot up the school so everyone stayed away from me.
Luckily I had 4chan and vidya

>implying adults aren't fucking assholes too
>implying it doesn't get worse

>>400236
This, my high school experience was excellent. I managed to be the big man on campus and I held onto the actual good friends over the years.

>>400096
Eh, high school is just like real life.

Cheerleaders (trophy wives) and the Football players (wealthy men) date
The nerds are disregarded and congregate among themselves
and someone has sex in the bathroom and gets caught doing it

>>400135
I hope you're trolling son.
In High School you still live with your parents, have more responsibilities in your life than you've ever had before but no freedom in choosing them or living your life, can't legally drink, have no money, and are surrounded by mostly-socialized but still hormonally crazed teenagers.
Being an adult kicks ass.

Honestly elementary school was the worst for me. Got made fun of constantly. My favorite name was 'Gay lord fucker'.... No idea what that even fucking means, but people liked to call me that.

Middle school comes around and I just shut my mouth and don't say anything or do anything. For whatever reason, people decide that I'm okay. People start to talk to me and hang out with me. I make friends and start becoming more alpha. For whatever reason everyone begins to know who I am. No idea why, but people just know me.

High school comes around, become Alpha. I get the girls my friends wanted. Dated a Junior as a freshman, shit like that. People know who I am and know my name. No one makes fun of me and I get along with everyone. I have party's at my house and shit.

GOD DAMN FUCKING WOMEN RUINED MY LIFE

>That feel when a teacher tells the class that you seem like someone who would shoot up the school
>That feel when the class laugh like motherfuckers

Not even an "Oh, we're just kidding" afterwards. Just acted like nothing happened. At least I have you guys to bug. After this final year, I'm out. Fuck high school.

Tell that to me pre-paranoid, Prozac and Vyvanse addicted, motivationless self. I get that it has no impact on your life, but me being naturally shy and anxious it put a shitload of stress on my mind when it seemed everyone thought of you as a faggot at the time. When people constantly refer to you as a stupid faggot you realize something is odd about you that most people don't see as a positive trait meaning your not going to get as far, be as happy, experience as many things in life than the people who are deemed "superior." Same kind of thing as when you were a kid, mom says don't do some stupid thing. Each time you do it you get spanked and you learn to stop fucking doing it. Each time you go to school and get strange looks, always the stupid one in every group, get made fun of the most, ect. you realize something about your natural, non-artificial self is unappealing and will only lead to worse things in life.
>Tl;dr if you're fucked if you're not alpha unless you have drugs or something to keep you happy/satisfied.

>be the quiet "troubled" kid in school
>ace schoolwork without even trying
>teachers think I'm a genius
>it's not that I'm smart, it's that I'm surrounded by fucking idiots who make me look good and I attend a shit school
>people always saying "remember me when you are famous" or "I'm gonna turn on the tv and see you on there one day"
>what the fuck are these people even talking about
>I don't *do* anything
>everybody has this vague notion that I will "succeed" somehow
>drop out of school
>get a GED
>end up homeless
>get turned down for such prestigious positions as jimmy john's sandwich maker, k mart stock worker, and dishwasher at a pizza place
>eventually say fuck it
>resign myself to being a bum
>don't even give a shit about death, take massive risks
>smoke weed with niggers at homeless shelter
>donate plasma for $40 a month, spend cash on booze
>piss and shit where ever I feel
>steal food from gas stations, just walk out
>smell like death from 10 feet away
>eventually fall off an overpass into oncoming traffic
>wake up in hospital

See, you don't need to be nice or enjoy the company of others to be liked in high school. Just be an asshole at strategic moments.

I have noticed the people with the darkest lives often become hilarious. Cracking jokes is all alot of them can do from taking a road trip in the garage with the doors closed.

When people still bother ME about trivial niggershit that happened in HS....THEN YES it kinda is.

>>400287
not that poster but I hate being an adult. being in high school was shit but now I have to be man.

when I think about the fact that I'm a 20 something it literally scares the shit out of me. this world is scary

>go through high school without usual teenage problems
>suddenly pretty much hit puberty during end of senior year
>suddenly realize I'm a kissless virgin, realize that I'll grow up to be nothing, realize that I'm unique, realize that I'm awful
>go off to college
>depression follows
>three years in college with nothing to show for it
>felt depressed and suicidal for those three years
>left college a virgin with no degree
I miss high school.

>>400858

I'm well on my track to being the exact same way

>>400321
Shoulda told the Principal.

>High school is great
>Spin off course in college

What you're saying is true, but I wish it wasn't.

>>400096
Fuck, at least teenagers are truthful. Adults are just as bad, but they make sure you don't find out about it.
