I don't know about you guys but I spent middle and most of high school trying way to hard to be like other people in order to have some precieved status. I was way to self conscious about dumb stuff like who/where I sat with at games or lunch, was the music I listened to cool, all that crap. So I guess I rate my friend group pretty low since it wasn't really true or meaningful in any way.

life after highschool brings the best out of everyone
After going to college and looking back, for me personally, middle school and high school was such a joke. I hated it. College was wayyy better. I made better, life long friends there. (I'll admit this is partly from me breaking out of my shell in college)

I was the complete opposite, I had a small group of friends but they’re the best friends I’ve ever had and still are. We were kinda the skater boi/social outcasts group at my school, didn’t do sporting events, didn’t sit with others at lunch, didn’t show up to school unless it was 100% mandatory (by that I mean you were either on the verge of failing classes or were being taken to court for missed school).
sometimes I think about how I’d turn out if I was a normal high schooler but tbh I’m glad I didn’t, I learned a lot about staying true to myself and that it’s ok to be an outsider in this world.
This is a photo of my friends and I from middle school (plus a few others from different schools)
It’s too bad my parents weren’t able to get me skiing at a younger age. Would have kept me out of trouble and out of the wrong crowds for sure. Would’ve made me a very happy kid
Hate to be a negative nancy but I hated high school passionately haha, I barely scraped by. Hated everyone. Was depressed and miserable all the time. Skipped almost every class to go and smoke weed. Its funny cuz my attendance was shit but I would still submit assignments early and get near perfect marks.
Since I started skiing I haven’t touched weed or felt the need to. Shit keeps me whole it’s great

dude i feel this so hard, i just graduated this year but i’m beginning to realize i don’t really relate to some of my hs friends much at all
Embrace the next chapter. You’ll realize some of your friends, it’s just because they were “there”/ you spent a lot of time together at school.
Now you get to actually pick the crowds and people you hang out with. I much preferred it.
I didn’t have any issues with high school. I had friends and got along with people and was pretty social, but I NEVER felt like I belonged in the south. Never never never. And it was hard to shake. I just didn’t resonate with the culture at ALL. So I was glad to have that choice of friends after high school.
