I actually enjoyed starting High School because I had a wider range of subjects to do that I was interested in and new people to meet.

Xantalos, I do the exact same thing, but, I do it all the time, on all of my "friends". On topic: Yeah, you should really watch out for rappers, they rapped at me too.

It's not hard, the people are decent, and the teachers are all competent.
Bwah, I wish. My school sends 25% of students to the Ivy Leagues for a god-damned reason. Even given my intelligence, I'm bad at the whole, school, studying, Homework, things, and I'm suffering. Actually I'm only good at tests. Really damn good at them though. My entire life at high-school is being upset because of Grades, not a uncommon though at my school.

- terminally low amount of girls in the school (we have one, and another class is fully male)
40% here, though it seems lower.

I disliked starting High School because I had a wider range of subjects to deal with that affected my grades and new people to ignore me and not make friends with.

I, too, can do fucking amazing at tests (apart from foreign languages because seriously fuck that shit) but awfully at having to work in my own time.

I socialized with my High school classmates only in the last two years.
Spent the first three getting to the top of the bully chain by doing absolutely nothing but smiling.
It is actually disheartening when you realize you're far, far better at making friends with bullies simply because you have no preconceptions then making friends with other people because they do have preconceptions.

Many bullies just want to be accepted and to be the center of attention. By giving them attention, I had meat shields.

Nice one. I lol'd.
One of those three statements is true.
Unless you go to a religious high school.  Then all three statements are false.
[snipped own arguments. These are American religious high schools you're talking about]

On a side note, these people are usually quite competent. They do have completely wrong degrees and curriculum for their jobs though.

Oh god.... I remember that i absolutely scared my school bullies crapless by doing this. Just a slightly joker-esque smile, and no one will screw with you. Even if you are the schools biggest geek.

... I've just realised i have the strangest reputation ever. Somewhere between a psychopath and a geek.

This is genius in all the best ways.

In retrospect, everyone probably thought I was high all the time during middle school/high school. I was on a medication that made me half-asleep at least 100% of the time, so walking around with a [10] guy face and being super friendly/happy is maybe the reason those old classmates were like "wow you got serious" in college.

I had a friend who was like that except he was genuinely high. He used to smoke joints at lunch.

High School is great, if you choose to spend it that way, if you just want to fuck around and fail at life then it will be shitty for you.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. There is a significant correlation between how much someone is prone to fucking around and how happy they look.

Well let me rephrase then, because fucking around is great. If you do your work you'll be fine, if you sit around doing nothing and wonder why your grades are terribad it'll be terrible!

I never really had a problem with bullies freshman year. By the time I came out of my shell, I was already almost as big as most of our genetic-freak-of-nature senior class, and if anyone wanted to fuck me up I just laughed and walked away.

I guess I could've become a bully, but I never got popular enough. Plus, i've known most of these fuckers since elementary school. I don't think they can intimidate me much when i've seen them piss their pants before.

I haven't come at of my shell, but I avoided bullies by deciding early on to be six foot tall, and I can tell you I've never regretted it. Oh and most of my school is on the short side.
