What do I remember about high school?

Some close friendships with people I have now lost touch with, with whom i had endless conversations about cars and aircraft. Not being good at sport (too uncoordinated) and taking refuge in reading instead. Going on solitary walks lost in day dreams. Loving geometry and geography and hating algebra and finding chemistry incomprehensible (perhaps because of the teacher). Resenting being forced to take Latin instead of History. Pimples and embarassment at being expected to dance.

@ Mary – Yep, it's amazing the stuff we carry with us as we age. Thanks for sharing.

I think part of me – even at almost-31 – is still a teenage girl. The insecurity, the deep-down loneliness, the urge to run, to grow, to be, to do, the on-the-verge-of-tears – it's all there at times. I had a good high school experience, but I definitely remember the hard stuff.

Just last night, actually, I was talking with some friends about how much anger I had toward my mom in high school. She still drives me nuts today, but it's crazy to think how much we fought back then!!

I didn't really enjoy high school all that much. I did a little of everything; played sports, was in musicals, show choir, etc, but it was a rough journey and I didn't really gain any friends from high school. I can't say I miss it a whole lot.

On the other hand, college was a completely different experience for me and I loved it.

Your transparency is fantastic, and it's easy to see you're someone high school girls can look up to. Like Maurilio said, this is an important issue, and it's easy to see it with the high school kids I volunteer with every week. This reminded again of things I can pray about for our high school students.

Thanks!

What I remember about high school? Pain. I still feel parts of it to the point I'm not going to my 20 year reunion because of it.

The stats in that video are shocking. I didn't know suicide was the 3rd leading cause of death. I'm almost ashamed it's gotten to that level without doing something to help. I'll definitely be praying like the video requested of us.
