I recently stumbled upon this quote from my favorite talking head on I Love the '80s.
"i never understood those people who said, “enjoy high school, these are the greatest four years of your life”. i hated high school, man, i fucking HATED high school. i hated everything about it. i hated the classes, i hated the teachers, i hated the building itself - made out of the cinder block walls painted in mismatched high school colors, i hated going to lunch at 10 o’clock in the morning! i hated all the cliques, y’know? the jocks, and the fuckin’ stoners and the metal heads and the rockers and the popular kids i really hated cause i wasn’t one, and the theater fags i REALLY hated cause i WAS one. i hated waking up at 6:30 in the morning in january and praying to god for DEATH TO COME AND TAKE ME. because DEATH would have been preferable to getting on the school bus which i had to take through my senior year of high school in 1988. so you know what? i didn’t love the ’80s. for me, they were a fucking disaster."
I can't say I feel quite the same way- all the things he mentioned did suck, but I made some amazing friends by sophomore year.
