Exactly my point :-)

I can see where you're coming from. If it was meaningless to you then, you won't find any value in reconnecting now.

I'm just the opposite.
I think you are nearly my age, Dix.

So let me ask a question that may shed light on this:

Do you live very near to where  you went to HS?

I was pretty popular in HS, but other than that, I can't remember a f'n thing about it.

Did you do the prom thing?  If so, you HAVE to post the pic with your date and, I assume, your mullet.

If you don't, I will (*evil laugh*)

I went to a small private high school and loved it.

If there was a boring class, I would do things like go pick up lumber with my truck or mow the grass. Yes, at & during school. The grade scale was alot tougher then the public schools, but I still did pretty well.

High School was a daily blast.

I went to the largest school in the city.  4,500 students. 

It sucked.

I graduated with 14.

About 90 in the entire high school, and 400 in K-12.

I might have enjoyed HS if I was in that situation.  And I might have started college earlier.

Every year, during the school year, we would spend a week at a camp in WI. It was a blast.

Senior year, a week in DC.

Study hall, with no teacher. We would sleep and eat. Then I would leave school and do body work on cars until about 11 PM after school.

My initiating this thread got me to  Googling -- I found a ste for my old HS and people stupid enough to maintain it.

The links alone are hilarious.  There is exactly ONE alumnus who is "famous" and the site sorta missed the fact he was imprisoned for corruption.   The rest of the links go to pay to sign up sites.

I am still LOL.  What a bunch of losers, staying in touch with their meaningless past.

But it is a damn funny read.

Some of my best memories were from High School.

I love seeing pics online of my old classmates' families, children, pets, etc. Maybe I am just nosey by nature?

I went to school with the same people from elementary and junior/middle school.  By the time I go to high school, I was ****ing tired of them.  I keep in touch with exactly one person I was in high school with.

I changed schools after 8th grade. So I had the best of both worlds. Had friends in the school district, but also friends "in town" where I went to school.

You might find it hard to believe. But in high school I was the center of attention.

Its difficult when you peak early. :lmao:

I went to a different school for 5th and 6th grade.  It was bullshit... it was a "magnet" school, which meant the white kids bussed in from outside of the public housing farms were expected to maintain a B average while taking advanced art, science, Latin, and technology/computer classes while the resident "minorities" were only required to maintain a low C average.  It was a shitload of work especially when half the class were allowed to do nothing for the same reward.  I was not happy, but I was equally unhappy at the regular public school.

Yeah... about that.  You only have a couple decades left.  You'd better make the best of them.

It was ... different than any of the poll options.  I guess my point of view is a lot like Dutch's.  A long time ago, good times and bad times, my peers and I were all different people then in many ways.  I remember a lot of scenes and events from it, not all for any apparent reason, and a fair number of the people as they were then.  I'm not really in touch with any of them now, though.  I graduated in 1970, FWIW.

Yeah, in 7th grade, I ended up with some less then great students, I pulled very good grades and found it easy...they struggled. So the next year they put me in the top group and it was like I missed a year and had no idea what they were doing in math...plus being the class clown (and worse) I paid not much attention.

I was in a similar situation.  I went from being in the 4th grade in a public school to being confronted with something called the "scientific method" that I had never heard of, and 5th graders that carried briefcases to class.  I had no idea what the **** was going on.  It was a disaster.  My parents should have known better, but apparently they were as bad at doing their homework as I was.

I had issues in high school.  I get the feeling that maybe I was a bully or something.  I don't remember much.  I always wanted to issue a blanket apology to anyone who had to be around me during those years. :thatsright:
