Hated it. Had high hopes for high school especially art class but I lucked out with a bad art teacher and she mistook enthusiasm for rebelliousness. I had to transfer out of class, but then I was picked on by some faculty after that. Didn't realize the extent of it until many years later.
The last two years were better but had to think about a future I wasn't prepared for.

Reading some of these posts, it would seem that I might be a lucky outlier. My High school days were easily some of my best. My HS was very small as I grew up in a rural area. I got along with many people, but only had about 2-3 real friends; I really miss the endless chats about movies! Of course, there were some guys that didn't much like me, or anyone outside of their group for that matter. As I predicted at the time, some have been arrested and charged with horrible crimes, and the others are still working the same jobs in that little town. Most of my school either went to work, or nearby/state college, with myself and about 9 others going to out of state colleges. Thankfully, despite having very nerdy interests i.e. being the only person in school into computers (or even owned a computer), I was mostly left to do my own thing and hang out with my friends. My mid-late teens were full of adventure, getting into the drivers seat for the first time, making small talk/speaking to girls properly for the first time, and planning/looking forward to the future. It sounds very odd to say, but I really miss the routine of going somewhere to study and talk with people that I like. I still keep in contact with my HS friends after all these years, and we meet up sometimes. College on the other hand, was dreadful, it's a period of my life that I try hard to forget. |

I voted for terrible. My high school years were the WORST years of my life, however, my elementary school years were the BEST years of my life.

"Mostly bad, with a few good memories". Good memories were skipping out and leaving campus. Hated high school. Haha,,I'm with you on that one. I skipped some days myself. |

It was about half good, half bad for me, too. My family moved a few times so I went to 3 high schools over 6 years without ever failing a class.
#1 Virginia - 8th and 9th grade. the area where we lived was young and the new middle school building was not yet completed. So 8th grade was attached to the high school. The upper classmen usually gave us a hard time.
#2 Virginia - 10th and half of 11th grade. This was the best and most progressive school I ever attended. I was really sorry to have to leave my first girlfriend.
#3 Florida - half of 11th and 12th grade twice. This school was run by the redneck gestapo. During my final year they informed me that they wouldn't accept one of my classes from school #2. This left me one class short of graduating. It really pissed me off how they waited until the last minute to tell me this. I could've taken that class in summer school, but after attending school all year I wasn't going to give up my summer at the beach. So I opted to repeat 12th grade. I didn't have many friends anyway. It wasn't all bad because I had started kindergarten at age 4 and had always been the youngest person in all my classes. And during that last year I only had to show up for the minimum 3 classes before leaving each day.

Mostly bad, with a few good memories. I skipped a lot of classes, and I have good memories of those days.

I'm in my last year of high school right now. And I must say it's been pretty damn great. I voted for mostly good because, well, nothing is perfect. But I really don't have much to complain about at all. And once in a while, when things happen to be down I've got movies to cheer me right back up |

I would say the worst with the exception of a few good memories. I was in high school when my parents abandoned me after I came out to them and my best friend's (my Wifey) parents wouldn't let us see each other anymore and I went through depression and wanted to kill myself and if it wasn't for my Sister who has been more like a Mum to me than my own Mum ever was I doubt I would be here today 'cause I couldn't handle it and I spent a lot of days crying and just wanting to be alone.  I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you had a great sister that was your rock. I always wanted a sister but I have to be satisfied with 2 brothers. High school days were crap for me because I had WAY too much heaped on my plate and none of it was good. Sometimes parents just can't except that their child is gay. From my observations sometime the mother will eventually except it, but the dad won't. It would be horrible for the young adult to be kicked to the curb for something they deem to be unacceptable, but I have seen it happen a number of times. 😞  |

It feels nice for me to talk to someone who is in the same boat regarding parents. Plus, and I don't know why, but it's easier for me to talk to a stranger about personal problems, lol. My mom has been dead for 35 yrs and my dad died last year. If there was ever a couple that should have been infertile it was these 2. They were both psychologically AND physically very abusive. As a child I thought this was normal, hell, I didn't know any better. My dad died last year and I wasn't going to go to the funeral but my husband thought it would be best for me if I did. Plus I was getting all kinds of crap from my brothers. I refused to go to my dad's deathbed, I couldn't see the point. We didn't see each other or speak for 20 years and I didn't want to be a hypocrite. We had to drive 5 hours, but I went to that damned funeral. The funny thing now is that one of my judgemental brothers will not speak to me and "doesn't have a sister." And now the irony of the situation is that the whole cycle is repeating itself with a family member that I don't have contact with. Oh well, that's life and I have to accept it. Thank you for allowing me to vent! I'm glad you're happy with your life now. 😊 |

I had a decent moment here and there but in general school was not my thing.
so I went with the 'Mostly bad, but a few good memories' option in the poll especially for high school.

Definitely need an "Irrelevant" option.
I really have no good, nor bad memories of high school. It was like an uneventful road trip to the grocery store. Just something that needed to get done. Yeah, I met a lot of good friends, but all my best times with them were in college and later in life.

At the time I thought they were terrible, but compared to life now, I wish I could go back and do things better this time.

I loved them. I still regard them as the best days of my life. I spent my days hanging with friends. No bills to worry about. I was young. My parents were younger. A lot of people who I love that are now gone were still here.

meh it was alright. It was hell because I had a 3 story high school and childhood obesity. I graduated at almost 350 pounds.
surprisingly, I didn't get bullied much. Junior high was another story. Most of the bullies from the first year of Junior High were nice to me in high school. I was still skinny 7th grade. the summer going from 7th to 8th is when my weight gain started.
but still, my fat ass at a 3 story high school, HELL!
