Adults say high school was the time of their life and they’d do anything to get it back. But I just don’t understand. Why would they want to be in high school that is filled with bulling, harrassment, sex, friends turning on each other, popularity, etc.
When I walk into the school doors I am constantly judged and bullied for my appearance…something I can control…but is truly me. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is a saying that truly doesn’t fit with life. Sticks and stones will not always break your bones but words will forever hurt you. One word can be the most powerful thing in the world. You can never truly take them back.
I’m just throwing the truth out there for all those adults that wish to go back to high school. I’d wish to go back to Kindergarten. Where all I was expected to do was draw.

School and teen years are the worst years ever, and words hurt like razors, they honestly do, and class mates in school find every way possible to degrade someone to thinking there worthless.
I’m sure we all know this, yet we still fall for their lies.
Yes unfortunately
I don’t understand why we do so.
Me neither, I’m glad I have only two years left of school left. But then what?!
Life goes on…and we still have to deal with being judged. It will follow us forever.
It gets better after high-school, because you are no longer forced to interact with stupid people for half the day…all of the social stigma that has followed you, just goes away
But what doesn’t go away is our sence of self worth. That stays and still needs to be dealt with. I’ve been out of school for a while now and the hardest thing to handle is how I feel on the inside…..but I wouldn’t worry too much about being judged all the time…cause that all goes away when you leave school
Not really. Once you get older people judge you more. If you’re the style you are now, they’ll judge you. You have to look like them, act like them, be like them. Sure, it may die down some…but not really.
