PP here- And I wish I had more confidence in high school, and TRIED to be more social (go to prom, homecoming, etc.) I was NOT an outcast, simply "shy" and did not know how to make friends very well at the time. That said, when college came, I was SO ready to be social (sorority, bars--Syracuse U "party school")... and did not look back at the time. As I get older, though, I wish I had the same good memories from high school that I had in college. High school is tough for most everyone so I try not to beat myself up about it.
