It was alright. My first and second year I was pretty much a glasses and pony-tail geek who only talked to a small number of people.
At some point around year two I got into a knife fight with multiple people in my neighborhood at multiple points. No one got stabbed, I called their bluff. Everyone in my grade level learned and people were reluctant to bother with me afterwards.
My third year I discovered sex, weed, liquor and smoking and that was a fun year. I also got into a shitton of trouble, some reaching back to year two. In all honesty, the latter half of my Sophomore year and my entire Junior year is a blank.
Then my brother was born and dropped into my lap so I cleaned up my act my senior year. Stayed out of trouble, still drank and had some fun but not in the stupid, crazy irresponsible way I used to. Watched a lot of friends get into trouble and get knocked up. Decided I'd just lay low until they hand me my diploma.
It is worth noting that this whole time, I was incredibly hyper-active, much more so than I am now, and had little self control over what I said and ended up making an ass out of myself when I got really nervous as back in the day, I was convinced that I had social phobia and I got diagnosed with Aspergers so I wrote off my awkward social behaviors with AS. Then I accepted that I am a hyperactive, social little weirdo and not mentally ill, calmed down, got better at talking to people, here I am. Wish I liked myself more in high school, would have saved me a lot of confrontations in High School due to my lack of ability to restrain my thoughts and accept that some people just fucking suck.
High school was as bad as it was good. Glad I'm done with that.
