    I loved it, it was exciting, I was a good student involved in as many extracurricular activities as possible.

    I grew up in a very small town and High School was were all the activity was except for getting drunk and making out. I even did some of that at school. LOL It's hard to believe I survived High School and I was an "A" Student. School is were Girls were and were I played Football so I had a blast. It didn't hurt that by the time I started High school my Dad had quit drinking (He was one of the worst alcoholics I have ever seen) . Mom was still a pain but Dad and I became best friends, So I guess my view of my High school years is a little biased. The School Dances were big events in a small town that had one movie theater with just one screen, no fast food restaurants and no malls. We didn't get Rock Concerts coming within 150 miles so I didn't see my first Live Concert until I went away to college unless you count local bands playing at the Dances.

    I went for a year left, took a Ged passed it. High school was one of the worst experiences of my life middle school was cool I had friends I did well in the classroom and I can remember having a good time with friends, but when I went to high school there were a lot of black and Mexican gangs it was like walking into the hood it was really weird. All my friends from middle school were there but I never saw them except for in the hallways a quick "hey" and that's it. I didn't make one new friend for that whole year so I just stayed high on weed and stayed in my own world. If I wouldn't have left I think something bad was gonna happen maybe I would made the headlines being one of these dumb kids that shoot up their school but who knows thank god I left it was a living hell for me.

    Welp, probably not the best person to be posting first... um, when i was in high school i dated the girl in which i still love today, however, we broke up shortly after 2 years. Unfortunately, there are like a million ways to destroy a relationship, despite how much love is shown in the relationship. I'd say keep your hopes high, because every case is different, and just go on with the mindset that you will love each other for ever. hope this helped.

    I'm a freshman in high school so I can't say my opinion as an overall experience but I can tell you about my opinion of the 1st year. Hell to the no do I enjoy high school, it sucks! I changed schools and I hate it so much, I miss my friends, teachers and the freedom I once had. On top of that, there's tons of work. Hopefully it gets better cause I wanna look back at high school with good memories. As of right now, I'm looking back at it with horrible thoughts.

    I hate to say it but I did enjoy the last two years of high school because I went to a different large school that had lots of opportunity for learning. Sounds weird but I got some real motivational classes and enjoyed the learning. We should all keep learning.

    I Went to 4 high schools. I went to a private academy for 9-10th grade, then to a large suburban school, considered the best in TX, then to a shitty HS in the hood for 12th grade.

    My private school experience was very good. I was always an inbetweener socially, and somewhat of an underachiever though. Going to a private school was enriching, but going to a large suburban HS sucked.

    My last years at the ghetto HS were actually fun. i ran into some trouble at the douchy suburban school when they denied my credits of 2 semesters for missing more than 3 f**ing days of school. (Tardies were counted as absences)

    I left private school because it was my home school, and my parents were getting fisted w/ school taxes anyway, and my private HS was almost an hour commute.

    After being fed up of that shitty suburban HS, i switched school by myself.

    Since i had a car, and my parents owned a rental house in the hood, i self enrolled in one of the most infamous HS in TX. However it was fun.

    I only enjoyed my Sophomore year because I skipped school 82 days before I was caught. Most days we'd take the train or bus to Boston to hang around or we'd drink alcohol somewhere.

    I received 3 demerits as punishment but I still made the honor roll so I had the last laugh!

    It didn't bother me much. It was the worst high school in Toledo so you basically passed if you bothered to show up most of the time. But it was pretty boring.

    It did help that I was pretty popular because I hit puberty early and had a full beard when I was fifteen. All of the cliques welcomed me since I could buy beer without an ID.

    I never went to high school; Jr. High sucked so bad that I quit as soon as I was old enough. I eventually went to upgrading but it was only slightly better. So I went and got my GED and passed with a 99th percentile in 3 of the 5 subjects. At any rate, I'm in a degree program in University - with very little high school experience. I'm running a 3.8 GPA.

    It just goes to show that high school is highly overrated.

    Back then I thought I was not enjoying high school but, now that I even graduated from college I think my life was more fun during high school, I was carefree,no responsibility, I had a lot of friends

    I can't deny that I sometimes hated it but, now I think it was fun
