Game Of Live Question 36 High School Fears

The one thing I worried about the most was having a boyfriend. I never wanted to be one of the girls who had no date for the prom. I always feared that no one would want me as a girlfriend or a wife. That fear caused me to make more than a few mistakes.

LOL...I hated high school and the teen years. I would never want to go back to that time, but I would not trade it as it is part of what made me who I am today.

Great photo, I bet you wouldn't post it if it were you in that tux ;)

High school was was sort of a non-issue with me. I had some very adult problems to contend with in my home life so I didn't get too caught up with all the usual teenaged drama. It definately wasn't the best time in my life and it really wasn't a blast, but it was what it was meant to be, a learning experience.

honestly? Getting caught skipping school. I had a blast in my teen years and would go back in a heartbeat!

Thank you ,for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Have a Great & powerful day W/J!!!!!!!!!!!!!



What is the burn in the death of your soul crying out ?

I don't remember any fears from high school.... sure I had the boy/girl dramas, stressing over scholarships, etc... but that's about it.

I'm glad you enjoyed high school. I hated it. It was boring.

On the roof of high school building, few of us, dreamers were watching stars... so bright.
This part I miss today.

I detested high school. I would never go back to that time. I had no friends, and was always the odd one that people pointed at and laughed at. I did everthing I could to avoid going.

I hated high school. I was always worried about fitting in and finding friends. I did for many years after too.

What me worry? lol. I had an ulcer diagnosed when I was 16. I worried about everything.

I hated HS until I finally found a continuation school where I fit in along with the other punk rockers. The teachers there made learning fun because everything was hands-on. Great post, Linda!

I dont remember having any fears in HS. But I do remember the thing I wanted the MOST was to move out of my parents home!!!
lol

I absolutely hated high school, not learning though. Still taking classes at 47.

I had good high school years

ONe memory that stressed me? Well my father yellling about my grades might head the list. I was a confused, rebellious teen. HIgh school turned out to be more trouble for me the it was worth. My best memories come before and after.

High school wasn't the best time of my life, too much pressure from everyone. Peer pressure, pressure to get perfect grades, pressure to fit in somewhere. I wouldn't want to go back.

Of mcourse the usual worries of tests. I always wondered what was going to be on it and am I studying the right thing. Sometimes worth the worry.

The only thing I truly worried about was who was going to make fun of me today?
I was perpetually teased until my Sophomore year in high school.
I dreaded going every morning trying to avoid the jerks that always laughed at me.
Maybe it had been because I was shy. Or because it seemed that I didn't wash my hair. (My hair always got oily making it seem that I didn't wash it)
Or maybe it was because everyone got jealous that I made good grades?
I never got straight A's but, I was pretty smart.
I graduated with a 3.5 GPA.
Now that I look back on my teenage years, I realized so many things I could have done differently. I wish I had cared more for my appearance. And, didn't just go to a store, grab some jeans and walk out. I wished I tried on my clothes to make sure they fit.
I've always hated shopping and was in a rush to leave the store. So my clothes were always too big to fit me. All because I thought they were the right size.
Anywho, I'm digressing here..
The point is that besides the teasing from certain people, I had plenty of friends.
From many different backgrounds, religions, languages and such. I went to sleep overs, I went to skating parties... I did have more fun then I do now.
So, all in all, I think my teenage years weren't so bad.
And, I wish I could do some things over and make different decisions.
But, I can't. So, I will just relax and breathe.

I had my own personal bully! When I was a freshman I was tormented by a big ugly senior! She lived near me and I guess I stole her babysitting gig when I was in the 8th grade, so she made my freshman year a living hell!

It's funny how we perceive ourselves. I found out after high school that most people thought I was funny as hell and liked me. I was very insecure. I was afraid I'd fall and make a fool of myself and that no one liked me. I was far off course on that one.

I never fit with any one group, nor wanted to, but had lots of friends. My high school was all girls, which eliminated a lot of the usual problems associated with high school.
There being no male students, it was entirely acceptable, in fact necessary, to invite a boy to dances. I don't remember feeling fearful back then. I had fun.

I loved school...course I was also the pet of many a teacher and worked in the office bookstore...a very big deal back then.....I was also a clown and sometime [just naturally not really trying to BE funny] I would do something and have the whole class gasp in unison or the teacher screaming at me while I laughed hysterically at the red in her face and the way her jowl shook......those were the days of INNOCENT fun....you had a beef you took it outside after school and worked it out with words,hands and legs, not guns and knives like today.......I didn't have any fears, except maybe being afraid to be late to school.......no fun huh....sorry.

It was getting out of my mother's house. Sorry to say it was worth the worry.

My senior year of high school I moved out of my house (much to my parents dismay) and into an apartment with a friend that had graduated the year before. I missed a lot of school obviously because we were partying every night. One day at school I told a few friends of mine I was going to PA for the day and left 3rd period. We ended up getting stranded there and I was there for almost a week. In our school if you missed more than 8 days in one grading period, you failed. If you failed English for the year, you failed the year. I was afraid I wouldn't graduate and I actually had a pretty decent GPA (at least until I moved out that is). I was also afraid that I wouldn't get back to Ohio and if I did I was afraid that all of my clothing and belongings would be gone. I'd have to say that these were legitimate worries. I brought them on with my stupidity, but nevertheless, they were fears. Incidently, I moved back home and my English teacher passed me by the skin of my teeth. I didn't find out I was graduating until the day before graduation. Whew!

I kept getting 'released' from high school!

My greatest worry was how my peer were going to treat me. {I a very unpopluar and bullied}

I didn't hate high school, but disliked most of the people that I went to school with! I moved from a high school I loved, to a high school where I knew no one, and no one tried to get to know me. I joined clubs, tried to fit in--it just didn't work. Still don't like the people from high school to this day!

Being bullied. I really dreaded going to school with the kids who were cruel and heckled me.

I was bored and hated it. I quit at 16 and got married then played grown up for 11 years and finished my REAL growing up when I was 27.

Finding myself and in doing that, finding real friends. I never fit in with most people, and my friends were very few. Meeting new people was scary to me because most of the time they thought I was a freak and I just wanted to fit in and find people who appreciated the fact that I was different.

(Bonus Comment #15 from my Good Morning on 2/12/09.) Thanks for your participation!

I worried that I wouldn't graduate with my class. You see I had that pesky brain surgery the day I should have started my Senior year. I had enough credits but there were classes you were not allowed to take until you were a senior.

Also they raised the number of credits needed to graduate. They did this my Jr. summer. About the only thing I had not taken was a foreign language. I was from a small town of 1,900 in KS. what did I need with a foreign language?

I took the two classes that I had to take as a senior and graduated with my class.
