[quote=Anonymous]Let this one go, OP.  Some people have a great time in high school.  Others have a terrible time.  Most people have a middling time.  It is formative for some people because those are formative YEARS, where teenagers are learning to navigate social situations, puberty and identity.    You probably learned how to navigate social situations later, when your peers were more mature and sensible and were spared some teenage insanity.  You "missed out" on some good things too.

I embraced my nerdiness in high school, determined I was smarter than anyone else ever, and was probably generally kind of an arrogant jerk to my peers.  Many of whom were also jerks to me.  I then learned I was kind of jerk and tried (poorly, I suspect) to do better.  I took solace in my family.  I made a true best friend, from whom I have since grown apart.  I fell in and out of love.  And I wrote bad poetry.  I became a leader of a team and learned I have a talent for public speaking.  I broke some rules, and got in some trouble but nothing bad and no one was hurt.  I read a LOT of books, some of which changed me.  [/quote]
