After 4th grade the bullying started. I did'nt fit in at all. I spent most of my time there day dreaming. I don't remember learning very much. I think I mostly taught myself. No diploma, no attendance after 9th grade. I now earn my living as an artist. It's a meager existance but I get by.

I enjoyed my first two years of high school a lot, my second two were just okay. I definitely would have been super bored sitting at home as opposed to going to school. I was home schooled before high school, so school was more like a thing I completed than something that took up a large portion of my day. Currently at junior college and I'm more bored than I've ever been, lol.

In the end, I value my diploma more, as before my family moved, I was bullied. High school was a little better as I did have a small circle of friends with other band and debate team geeks. I decided to skip my 10 year reunion because I thought $75 it cost for a few hours in a downtown hotel's ballroom wasn't worth it.


yeah i too didn't bother going to my high school reuion. i gradurated and 2008 the reuion was 2010 and march so i didn't even bother plus most of the people i kinda liked or people i just want to see what they are doing in see are the loser i have them on facebook and two of my friends 1 of them is my husband and the other is his best friend and my mutual friend so no need to see every one else. :D :D :D

You don't get high school diplomas in New Zealand, but I went for the education, and the fact I was forced to, and I was too immature to want to get a job before 17.

Apart from that it sucked

I was virtually tortured all through school & I didn't even end up getting my high school diploma because of it. So, I definitely didn't like it. Most of it seems like a waste of time, especially since I didn't even get a diploma out of it.

CREAM CHEESE ON GRAHAM CRACKERS!! ! My mouth started watering at that, that was one of my FAVORITES! XD Right up there with banana slices in orange juice. (TRY IT.)

I guess I liked preschool but as soon as I hit first grade, OMG. Homework. I was appalled, I thought homework was just a myth. D: I refused to do it for YEARS. I think I also threw big tantrums. Finally they sent me to a special middle school. It was the. best. thing. in the universe. My two best friends that I met there are still two of my best friends. After that, high school was total bore. By then I had learned not to throw big fits. I just doodled and slept the whole time. College was great again though, because all the lame people got weeded out, lol. Got a lot of great friends there too, and learned more than I ever did in k-12. (Even though I failed a few classes.)

I really kind of miss school. People tell you exactly what you're supposed to do and you get to hang out with your friends all day! I want a job like that.

The thing I liked best about school were the school girls. I still like school girls even today.

I just think women (aged 18 or over of course) in school uniforms are sexy, that's all. :D
