Pep rallies must be an American thing. I have no idea what they are.

Oh yeah, the HS experience…
It was four years of hell. I hated everything about it (apart from a few teachers that I had grown to like).
The bus home never came fast enough. (The only time I ever stayed after school was the one time I had detention for being late that morning due to missing the bus and having to walk the 2.5 miles…)
I would have killed to have been able to study at home. It would have been wonderful not to worry about wearing the “right” clothes or being socially awkward.
I might have actually enjoyed high school if I could have done all of it from home.
Cleandan can just shove the pep rallies up his ass. (The cheerleaders and jocks where the biggest assholes in the school. A rally in support of the system that had elevated those cu**s to the top of the school’s pecking order was the last place where I would have wanted to be.)

Oh yeah, the HS experience… It was four years of hell. I hated everything about it (apart from a few teachers that I had grown to like). I'm with you, sister. I went to a football-obsessed Catholic all-boy high school and only had a few friends. Our English teacher Jim was awesome and was married to a knock-out beauty, which infuriated the other teachers (some of whom were pedos) who hated his liberal ass. He ended up coming out of the closet a few years later and moved to San Francisco, where he eventually died of AIDS. We went to his home a couple of years after high school to smoke some weed and he pulled out some drawings he had saved that he confiscated from me in class. I was amazed. But, I despise the soul-crushing school even today. I dropped out in my Junior year. I just didn't have Pep.

I went to an all-boys school, where the rugby team (the pride of the school) were either date rapists or closeted jocks who were only ‘pretending’ to molest each other in the common room.
Being shy and awkward. I didn’t know any girls at all when I was between 12 and 16. It was sheer hell.
On the other hand, the experience has given rise to one of my most conservative opinions which is that school uniform is a good thing and a necessary social leveller.

Another all-boys school alum here. I made two friends very early on who I am still close with today. I eventually learned that the staff purposefully kept us together in the same homeroom for all four years. It was a fairly elite catholic school but also pretty progressive. At least, depending on what teacher you had. Considering that it was all catholic boys, we still had some good discourse about topics like abortion. I became familiar with feminist topics even (honestly also just due to being a Beatles fan and then reading up on Yoko...). Plenty of assholes too but, between having good friends and also being numbingly depressed I guess they didn't bother me too much.
There was one little rich asshole who tried to fuck around. He pulled me aside once and told me how I'd be more accepted if I didn't associate with my two friends. I barely even considered what he said in the moment, to the point where I totally forgot about it. Years later I remembered and found out he said the same thing to my other friend too. Sick fuck was trying to play us. Pretty sociopathic shit but we didn't care enough about him to believe him.
I credit the school for teaching and enforcing critical thinking. The academic stuff was rigorous too. Every class essentially was advanced, some stuff even approaching college level. I didn't put too much effort in, which at sometimes still allowed me to get decent marks and at others almost saw me flunking out. My writing skills turned out alright (something I've been able to pass on to my sister, who still asks me to look at her papers even in college now) and I learned a few important skills like how to convert measurements and shit like that. Art class was fun too.

I wonder if KlanFan ever finds it burdensome to have all the answers. One more tired boomer whose only tools are broad platitudes and an impotent disdain for anyone younger than he is.
