The thing was that most of the traditional groups you see in America media didn't have the physical difference that was often depicted.
The jocks weren't better than the nerds at fighting for example, this made it so throwing insults could very well get you into a brawl.
Rumors I'm not sure about, apart from the romance style rumors I never heard much else.
That said I do expect my school experience to be on the more atypical side of the scale since I went to a fancy private school which was mostly rich kids (it was great for making money from the other children)
I genuinely think that has, in the long run, led me down a seriously dark path…
Because almost everyone that graduated from there “made it”, but I never did. I never could. I tried, really hard, but I’m almost totally done.
I just, for whatever reason, can’t make it. And I fundamentally cannot live with that.
Other than that, yeah, kind of similar…
I guess I was already an outcast by then, though (say, from around eighth/ninth grade), so… ALL those groups hated me. All of them mocked me. None of them really seemed to want me around…
Thus, I guess my experience was just a bit different.
I should have left in 12th grade, and gone somewhere else. I knew shit was going wrong. I did try, but unsurprisingly my parents wouldn’t have any of that…
And now… I seem to be just about the only “failure” I know of from that finishing year (and indeed beyond).
I really can’t live with that anymore.
Sorry to bring things down so much…
I’m just… I’m honestly very done.
And school is… A huge part of how that came to be. Unfortunately…
Not sure I'd say it worked out that well, but I can't blame school, parent or anything like that. But on my shit health (nothing serious but highly inconvenient).
It's always worth remembering that most people have their own problems and they tend to hide them publicly.
I can just present myself as a CFO of a business I made and funded, a business that is improving and becoming a success.
But I also have my problems that I hide from most, if not all people.
When looking at others it's worth remembering that everyone has their own problems but will still project the illusion of a good life.

Also fancy private school. Also mostly rich kids…

In the end, not everyone makes it.
I’m happy to accept that.
I can’t live with it. But I can “admit and accept” it.
In the end we are what we make ourselves, and me (or the idiots in the OP) blaming high school isn’t going to help that.
I failed, and that just… Is. It’s no one’s “fault”, it just is.
Some of us have to fail, and fall, so that others can make it, I guess.
I’m glad you sound like your experience worked out ok, though.

This is true.
I guess I just got tired of pretending to be “fine”, though, tbh…
Because yeah, I’m really not. 😑
Absolutely everything has gone wrong. Not denying my own responsibility for that, at all, but yeah, truly, it’s all gone to shit…
And I have, like, very little left to give…
Congrats on the CFO thing though - that’s awesome! 😄
That’s definitely a significant achievement in my book.
