What was it like in school for you?

[Sasukefan4]

Well for me it i was very normal in school i did like what every one else did and just tried to fit in and i lived in a kinda small town and there was only like 3 gay kids top at my school :? and more me being bi i was all ways so scared that some one at school would find out and then every one would know :worried: but it was kinda fun having that secret that no one found out so it was very weird for me but i am glad that it is all over... :rofl:

all over as in you came out??? I barely knew anyone enough to feel the particular urge to come out (except parents). Even my "closest friend" doesn't know FOR sure, and the more time we spent together the more obvious it is. I don't plan on going out of my way to disclose my sexuality, but if we are like hanging out some day and asks if i like blokes....i'd just tell the truth. Then again he'd most likely ask if i was gay and i can honestly say no . As far as school life goes, it was fine. Had crushes here and there...but all evaporate when i see them with their "girlfriends". ANd i never did have the confidence to walk up to anyof them and ask them out. moreso out of fear of rejection than everyone else's reaction. BUt now its college, and well i still don't have sum1 i feeli must come out too...yet. THere is this one person i might tell....though not yet.

The priest in the school would have an open door policy (it's not what you're thinking!)

) )

That didn't half make me giggle

I hated school and just bided my time till I could escape that prison! I didn't grow properly inside until after I left. I hate restrictions and petty rules. Once I was 17 towards 18 I became my real self. School never developed my character, I was my own person and just needed the strait jacket removed.

I was always told by the old 'uns, ooh school days are the best days of your life! Crap, I loathed all of it !

School was pretty bad--around the age of 12/13, the other students just decided that I was gay all of their own accord, and stigmatized me permanently. I had an informal but deeply serious boyfriend at the time, who was glaringly obvious himself but liked to pretend that it was my fault that there were rumors going around school that we were a couple, and insisted he had girlfriends despite the fact that it was me he was at the movies with every friday night... We probably would have consummated our relationship and I could have come out much earlier if he hadn't moved away before 8th grade began, and just before that made me participate in a homophobic "revenge" against another of his ex-boyfriends. Anyway, despite no replacement boyfriend, the other boys still threw things at me and called me "faggot" whilst I was totally alienated from myself.

The time when I really learned, changed so much was when I took up completely independent study at 17--setting my own curriculum, intellectually and creatively exploring the things I wanted to when I wanted to. I never got anything close from attending school.

I was a bit shy/geeky till high school, was small too and used glasses, I know that I was effing weird, had a few friends and a LOT of ppl that picked on me, weirdly enough I changed A LOT from 13 to 14 y/o, so much that some of my classmates didnt recognize me at first, I grew up quite a bit without noticing, started to use lens, take care of my appearence and all and all of a sudden I was in what you guys call... the cool table, pretty much my life and doom started there, parties, crazy ppl, annoying ppl asking for advice and to go out with me, crushes starting to actually happen but then next day in school was as if nothing happened >.< oh well, it was a rollercoaster from heaven to hell everyday, but it was worth it in the end xD It was really fun to hang out with the guys and feel desired even if mostly by girls xD that was something I wasnt really used to yet xD

school is absolute shit. All up to 12/13 I couldn't care less about anything but video games and my yu-gi-oh cards. Freshman in high school is when evrything changed, for the worse. I grew up short, nerdy, quiet, and akward. I saw someone I had a new crush on every day. But I saw straight down to that confused corrupt core of character and that drove me away from most of my school's "eliete." I have only a few friends now, one of which I'm goig through a passing "crush phase" still. I live in a small town, equivalent to the size of a new york apartment. The only gay/bisexual kid I was SURE of moved away before freshman year, I had no indication anyone else was even remotely gay (that "neu hetero" thing was obviously not gay), except 2 which were flaming like a kibob (a turnoff, just my luck).

So now I'm waiting to leave this pathetically fruitless environment that was supposed to help me "excell." Just another addition to that statistic that goes something like "40% of high school grads never had any kind of dating experience". oh and add me to the "never-been-kissed-by-anyone-but-mother" list too

Ladies and gentlemen (or just the latter of the 2?) the icing on the cake, I'm bisexual, and I've completely struck out for BOTH teams. What a life eh? Just a few more months

I hated school. I was a very bright good student though.
Didn't hang around with much of anyone. When the bell rang at the end of the day I was like the flash.
Went to an all boys military school high school. Worked after school to help pay for it. Did very well, and graduated with a high rank. But school wasn't for me. What truly frustrated me then and to this day, the most prestigious schools in this area don't treat student fairly. You could be an absolute genius but it wouldn't matter. All that mattered were the people who played football and baseball. Football players could go through 12 years of school and barely spell their own name, but the were the great ones, us academics were low class citizens.

Funny how teachers don't appreciate students who have to do everything their way, and their way is the only correct way. To this day everything has to be MY way!
Cause it's all about ME baby (OK, just kidding about that last line).
But even at work everything has to be my way.
