Life keeps getting better. I HATED my middle school and high school years, and I was recently invited to attend my HS reunion. I thought, "why would I go back to see the people who made me miserable?"
I can tell u that life doesn't even begin until after graduation. But, stick in there and graduate. Life is hardest on those without HS diplomas.
I didn't have real friends in school, and never dated or went to any of the social things. But once I started working, I found a lot of nice, interesting people. Now, I tend to be a loner, so it wasn't like I, personally, had this huge transformation, but there isn't the "social hierarchy" that you find in HS. So. you're someone who is just trying to make it like everyone else.
I'm now married (YES, I even found someone who REALLY loves me just the way I am!) and we have a child. I NEVER, NEVER saw this in my future. I always assumed I'd end up alone. So, FYI...HS does suck, and life DOES get better.
