Re: The High School Experience: Worth It or Not? -

I absolutely agree with what you said. It's like what we talk about and I too, feel like I'm part of that minority who doesn't fit in with the norm. The social structure of high school- let's face it, its just like a hierarchy! Most of the time, its always the cool and popular kids that everything is centered around. For me, I don't get the specialty of being popular and statistically, most of the popular people are just following the crowd. Like you, I've never had a high school relationship either and yes, I've had some crushes that I never really talked to except my current one. So the relationship part about high school, most people are doing it just for fun and they aren't even serious. At least in my school, I've seen couples that date from the start of freshman year all the way to senior year, then break up after due to college. And this cycle then starts over. I don't get it either but it does indeed hurt the people that truly care about building strong relationships and friendships.
I would say that high school has been quite rough at times, but an interesting experience. I obviously do NOT want to repeat it over again but I will definitely look back on it in the future and reflect on it.
