High School!!!

Hello TGAF!!,

So when I joined this community in 2013, I was only 12 years old..., I am almost 17 now. High school has been... crazy...., so I thought it’d be cool to have a discussion where we all talk about our high school experiences? As I know many people in the community aren’t in high school anymore, I figured this would be a fun discussion.

My experience so far?
I’m currently in my Junior year of highschool, meaning I have one year left after this one. It’s been nuts. Freshmen year I was all about image, and not super serious on grades, only with a 3.0 GPA. It was about how much makeup I had on, what clothes I was wearing, and if I had a boyfriend or not. I’m sure you guys remember the time I posted on body image here too, which I struggled with severally. The summer after was awful, I acted like someone I wasn’t. Sophomore year the first semester, I turned my life around and got further involved in the performing arts.. I had been singing for years, and I auditioned for a Broadway Jr production of “The Lion King,” and I got the supporting lead of Sarafina! The 2nd semester I developed a relationship with my Dad, took off the makeup, and managed to get a 3.67 GPA. However, by becoming my true self, I lost many of my “friends”. This past summer, I focused on building and maintaining the real me..., and I auditioned for Broadway Jr’s “The Little Mermaid,” in September, and received the role of Ursula! I joined a fantastic Theatre community, and the first semester of my Junior year has been amazing (except Physics). I’ve embraced my true self, no longer care about image, have real friends & an awesome theatre family outside of school. I also have a good relationship with my father (and kept a 3.67 GPA).
It’s defintely been a journey, and this is just a summary..., but 2017 has been the best year of my life.., and I don’t mind the journey..., because here I am now..., my true self!!

I hope to hear about your highschool stories! :)

I would rather forget high school, honestly. There wasn't much about it that I liked.

That's fine. I wasn't mad at you. I hope I didn't give that impression. There were some things I liked about high school, but for personal reasons, it's not a time I like to think about too much.

One of the few things that I did enjoy about high school was art class. I remember the teacher was pretty nice and I had enjoyed painting and coloring with pastels.

Yeah I do, though not for quite a while. You can see some of my older work in the Fanart section, and I know I did some non-LBT fanart that's located around here as well. I've mostly done digital art lately.

It's good to see things are working out for you and that you are focusing on things that you truly care about. It seems to be one of the harder things to do when growing up, especially during high school (and remember, physics is phun :p ).

I don't think I have any noteworthy high school stories to share myself but I had a similar experience starting all the way back in grade 6. Back then I was split between being with the "cool" group and with another friend that was perceived by others as "uncool". I struggled trying to deal with both situations for about a year until one day when my "uncool" friend was at my place and we decided to watch the first LBT (it had been a couple years since I had watched it and I had figured I had outgrown it). That moment helped get me back into LBT but I think also helped me realize what type of person I should be. From someone who I was reluctant to admit was a friend became my best friend for the last 16 or so years.

It's best to learn good study habits early. I went through high school I never really needing to study but when it came to post secondary, well needless to say I got caught unprepared and things got interesting for awhile.

I just remember having a math teacher who was a total witch. My region is called the Central West so we called her 'The Wicked Witch of the Central West'.
