?Looking back memory lane:"how was your high school life"?

I was a loner and an outsider. I was not like everyone else. I hung around the geeks and freaks, and I was a English, theater and music geek. I kicked butt in the writing department.

I miss some of my friends, but other than that, that period of my life was the most difficult part so far. I wouldn't go back to it for anything (unless, of course, I could go with what I know NOW...). Honestly, I spent most of my time as a teenager drinking, smoking, and doing whatever I could to escape the painful shyness I had. I ditched school whenever possible to go to the beach and party. I even skipped school to watch General Hospital...LOL Needless to say, academically, I didn't get much out of high school. Socially, I would say I learned a lot. Maybe if I were into sports, clubs, or other activities, I would have enjoyed school more, but I well never know. College was much easier for me.

High school was a period of life I would rather forget. It was a period where I switched schools often. I was the bulls eye for bullies. The fat nerd with glasses.

hi pinks well my high school days were hectic as we were in the second world war and by the time I was a senior all of the boys but two had been drafter ]into the armed forces. I remember playing the part of a maid in our senior high school play, and all the male parts were played by girls.lol I was one of the geeks who made mostly A's and was never popular and then there were the four girls who were the it girls and then us nerds then the super athletes among the girls and two boys. I to tell the truth was glad to graduate as I was still the one never chosen, instead 'of ball games, it was dances. So I went to work as a nurses aide, and years later met my husband to be in the hospital where I was working so there was hope for me after all. lol.

It was okay\. My frist two years ended up being pretty miserable. Come junior year I joined cross country and really became a lot less shy. Junior and Senior year were great, but I still don't miss them. Happy to be out.

I'm thankful my highschool days are long GONE. Never fought in my life until I went to highschool... talk about MEAN GIRLS for real. It's us quiet ones ya have to worry about and they found that out for sure. I'm not condoning fighting or anything and I wouldn't wish that on anyone but it was my behind or thiers.

my high schol life is a good one..whenever I recall it, I feel excited again and I wanted to be in high school again..When I was in high school, I am good in class, I graduated with honors in my class, I have friends that even until now, I can totally say that they are always there for me.. high school life,, it's the best part of my life..

1990 seems such a short time ago!! I had been teaching for 14 years already....lol I graduated high school in 1972 and my children went to the same high school and hated it there. I liked it well enough but I was very shy but I was active and fit in. There were 5 of us who hung around with each other and we were as different as can be. I am only in contact with one of those 5 to this day. I was talking about high school to someone the other day. I took archery in gym class and we had to wear "gym suits"! They were one piece and consisted of shorts and tops with short sleeves that I think snapped up the front and they were navy blue. 2 years later my sister's had striped tops, so were so much more attractive! I also took swimming for part of the year and had to wear bathing suits that the school provided.......yuck. I wore the green ones, as opposed to the blue or red ones, since I was one of the bigger girls. Sometimes they would have holes in them so we would have to check them out before we took one. The towels they provided were no bigger than a hand towel, so we brought beach towels from home. (2 years later my sister was allowed to wear her OWN bathing suit) I belonged to the French Club, Periclean Society (kind of like a literary club), and the Honor Society of which I was the chaplain my senior year. We had "sock hops" that we sometimes went to..........yes we danced in our socks. But I never did go to any of the proms. The plays that were put on were a lot of fun to go and see but I never did help with any of them. Two of my friends were in the marching band, so we went to the football games and many times did something together afterwards, if one of the girls was allowed to......her parents were very strict. I graduated with about 352 others and I think I was 57 in my class.

I could not consider my high school life to be fun and exciting. In my case, I had three schools that I attended in high school. It was hard for me to adjust to every new school that I went to, specially that I was a very shy person. I finished high school but never had many friends, never enjoyed the activities because I always felt out of place.

I agree with you my friend, high school is the best part of our lives, where lots of memories, good and bad memories were built. My high school is just the same. There I got lots of friends which until now are my friends, best friends. I also have one memorable girl friend in high school. But the painful part there is that we don't have any communications now. I missed her so much. (red star 91 @ 1429)

high school is memorable to me and i have a true friends that until now are still communicating with each other. its been too long years since my high shool life is but the memory is still fresh and i like to keep it in my mind.

High School had its moments i suppose. I wasnt very popular, i have been overweight my whole life and so i had very few friends. I wasnt part of any extra curricular activities or anything, but i did have a few close friends which helped to make High School bareable for me. I would have to say my Senior year was the best though. I got a job working at the school which i got paid for but also got credits towards graduating, and i met more of the people by doing this job, and made a few more friends that last year, so it ended on a good note.

My high school life is really funny and i got a lots of experince for example crying coz bf broke up,doing cutting classes to see my crush in the other room practising dance,being a close friend with my classmate that i had crush on,listening music together,he helping me doing my asignment because he is best in the class,eating together when it recess,sharing thought and sharing stupid things heheh..and i experince to be get hurt,but i can sai high school is really best for me..

oh high school.....it had been really a bitter experince of my life .....,, my teachers when entered the class made me get out her class just bcz i was too mischiveous ...... n i ws turned out of my class ....several times ..whn i hvnt done ny thng wrong frm my hands.... really6 this ws stub born life......,, my teachers used to hate me ....attending there classes ......still i maneged to get quit a gd percentage ...in studies my parents nvr scolded me much .... i really hated my high school life....hhuh......!! htnxs god it is over

Hi pinks, thanks for sharing your precious old picture here. I had gone through it and had a close look. I found everyone in the photo was smiling happily. This showed that how happy all of you were during those old sweet school days. Yeah, it’s really excited and interesting to chat again with friends about those numerous funny and crazy old stories during our younger days. I consider that high school days were our happier times for those days we had nothing to worry about. We were innocent and energetic. We could enjoy whatever healthy activities we wished. We liked swimming, hiking, cycling, picnic and camping etc during our free time, as long as we could manage to handle our school work properly. We enjoyed the most was eating the various delicious street foods stall by stall from evening till night. It seemed that we could never fully fill our greedy stomach posting and have a nice day.

Now I know that we're of the same age huh. I graduated in an all girls high school the same year as you. It really feels great to reminisce my high school days. Those years are the best years of my life. Our batch was what the teachers says the "notorious batch" since our freshman year. We often left the faucet open in our biology room after cleaning it so we will not have our English class the next day. LOL. We hate that teacher. But on the contrary, though we were called notorious, our batch often excels in academics, and non academic activities in our school. The best part that I can never forget was the time we had a program before our graduation, "FAREWELL TO SENIORS" wherein all the year levels will present a song number dedicated to the graduating class. We were surprised when all the faculty members rendered a song for us (it's the first time that they did it). Oh we really cried, the faculty cried too. They said that they will surely miss our batch. After graduation, some of the faculty members resigned, their reason is, they just waited for our batch to graduate. LOL. Keep posting. HUGZ!

High School for me was actually great but it was the time I really didn't practice my magic at all. Too bad because it is a Catholic School, I was afraid that I might be accused of being a demon or something (What else to expect? Harry potter books are somewhat prohibited in the school, and me performing magic might not be a good idea at all.) Also I've learned a lot in High School that I still treasure until today

Hi! :D First of all, I'm really glad that you had wonderful high school years and that the sight of your class picture brings you back lots of memories.;) Me, I did enjoy my high school life...but not that much because our batch was called the "worst batch". Most (not all) of my batchmates were totally unruly or don't have discipline in their vocabulary. I've been in this school since kinder and I think I brought up with me the values they taught me (it's a Catholic school by the way). Then by high school, all these transferees from different parts of the country stormed the school. I'm a conservative type and have no idea why they were acting that way. They didn't follow school rules and are irresponsible (even with paper, they have to ask for it every subject everday! I told them to buy paper during the break yet they don't. Just simple things, they can't do!) I didn't want to be in the batch because I didn't want to belong to the worst batch, bah! But anyhoo, I have some friends in the class and more from the higher/lower years. Also, I didn't understand why we had to study all those things in high school. As we all may or may not have asked "what am I going to do with this? Is it important?". I asked my algebra teacher how I could apply algebra in life. I was really serious and she came up with "patience" in solving those questions. She have thought of to improve logic (which I really used in college). I found studying all those things pointless, but I didn't fail any subjects though. I tried my best and got good grades. You could call my high school life gloomy. :P Only when I took part in the campus paper and joined some school activities did I find purpose. Overall, high school was fun but I think college was better because I still had fun, yet I know what I was studying was really something I could use and my batchmates were 100% better. Sorry for the rants.^_^'

High school was horrible for the most part. Half the time i was skipping class and drunk or high. Ok not half the time MOST of the time. :D
