[quote=Anonymous]I liked high school classes. I hated living at home. I was abused constantly- being beaten up and called dumb, fat and lazy was my way of life. My mother did nothing - father abandoned us - a great thing - mother became a homeless addict the end of my senior year.

Not sure in the long run it was a bad thing. I was incredibly motivated to get out. Social life was not a distraction as I was as low as you could get on the social ladder. I was a national level athlete, ranked third my senior year. Lots of press coverage which made me find ways to hide from my fellow students. Got harassed for not drinking and smoking pot but that was for the rich kids. I was heavily recruited and didn’t have any margin for error. I didn’t understand peers who didn’t have ambition and drive - wasn’t mature enough to comprehend they didn’t need it.

College followed the same pattern - liked the classes but everything else was miserable - including a lack of food. Did well academically though and went on to do well with a terrific education - which of course since I paid for it all on my own without loans was valued. There is life beyond high school. [/quote]
