    Using high school as a marker for what to expect for the rest of life is such a terrible idea. Just throw that in the rubbish and go experience people for yourself. Wade through the assholes and you’ll find tons of nice folks just trying to live.

      While that is true… There is still a ton of high school bullshit going on, especially in workplaces.

      All the same drama and gossip… I’m so glad I don’t work in an office anymore.

      It’s true. I think the amount of attention highschool gets, from people saying it was the best years of their lives, to adults coming down hard on you to do the best thing for your future, to your peers seemingly having an amazing time while you’re not, winds up making teens feel like it is indicative of how life will be in general.

      It just goes to show the average age of anons. Too sad if they plateau around that.
