my hs was very rough to say the least the fact I survived until mid way of the last year of hs when I left is a miricle being very different I was known by everyone at my school yet I could only say I knew maybe 20 people as I was pretty reclusive, I remember one guy pulled a knife on a group of us when we confronted him about stealing someones money he went on to rape a 3 year old not long after and was actually proud of it. I won't forget getting my hair lit on fire it was ignored by the school as majority felt I deserved it for being different and most people thought it was the greatest thing that happened yet I never once provoked anyone it was simply because I did what I wanted without feeling like I should be the same as anyone else I guess they were jelous because they were too insecure to do it but I do have a chip on my shoulder because of that I ignore those who I wasn't friends with and don't give them the time of day now when they come up and say do you remember me I don't care now if they think I'm rude as they never cared how felt then; now I am friends with a number of like minded people and life is sweet and I'd never want to go back to hs
damn id hate to be in high school in america, there's nothing in england except maybe "skallies" and "moshers", which is a bloody wide spectrum. Though even these two groups generally get along. Oof but out in teh streets it's a different story.
in my HS.. there are ALL sorts of groups but if you just float from group to group (as i do) you'll be fine.. sure i get hasseled a little bit for dressing weird...but not enough to REALLY mess me up... it kinda annoys me but i've gotten used to just letting it roll of my back...
