People who enjoyed high school social dynamic hierarchy are usually the ones that peaked in high school.
fr
I just peaked because I hadn’t been hit by the deep things in life lol.
Mostly because the ones that weren't popular couldn't really go lower XD
Nowhere to go but up!
@@gunnerfish22 when you're young and you think you are having deep thoughts, don't let it get to your head. Most people have deep thoughts and the deep thoughts you have next year are going to be so much better than the deep thoughts you have this year
@@myusername111 no doubt about that!
Highschool is a paradox. Your going to teach adolescents how to be adults by treating them as adolescents. Also, as an added bonus, anyone who doesn't fit within the mould perfectly will be treated as an outcast and made to believe something is wrong with them, instead of allowing their creativity to blossom and actually learning about their natural interests.
@GlobalDataConspirator
That's pretty much me--by design. I wasn't allowed to explore anything I wanted or taught to like anything. I ended up in dead-end job after dead-end job with nothing to show for my life. I'm really trying to make something of myself, but it's hard with no support.
@GlobalDataConspirator that’s the thing with the American school system although it might seem like we have a lot of time on our hands, though true depending on which school you went to, but when it comes to teaching it sucks, they don’t really teach you anything useful and you are forced to take class you don’t like for the sake of a credit, and depending on which school you go to there are sometimes not a lot of options on which class you can take so a lot of the time you take class you don’t like or have no interest in just for a credit and long enough and it kills your motivation as well as make just want to earn a credit instead of actually finding what you want to do, of course I’m not saying this with all schools, this is just from my experience, my school doesn’t have much options in terms of classes so I just end up taking class to get a credit instead of taking class I want so I can pursue a career I want or find what I want, and I bet this is at a lot of schools as well, but not all, combined with the bullying problems(not at my school thank god, kids at my school don’t get bullied much)that happen at a lot of schools make things a real shit show when it comes to finding a career to do, not to mention that my school advocate college without any real direction they just want us to go to college without actual telling us what choices we have other than college, so I just end up getting demotivated and I do t know what do with my life since all I’ve been told is college and I know there are options but I don’t know what they are, and I really don’t wanna go to college since I don’t know what to do for a career and I know I’m just going to waste my money(since college is expensive as hell nowa days I do t wanna waste too much money)but my school don’t give me much of an option, of course this is with my school every school of different in their own way, but there is a pattern.
This is how I ended up not being super social but content with not being wrapped in drama. Just didn't seem worth it in highschool
*you're
@@LunaBari I'd say that's not what it's defined by. You'll still know what I'm talking about...
Not sure if I peaked in HS. It’s been 20 years and I barely remember it.
That means you didnt. The joke is that you're stupid enough (read a little behind the 8-ball developmwnt wise) to gain actual legitimate entertainment/fulfillment from something designed for the average 14 year old and think thats what life is. I'm 21 and have the feeling i'm barely scratching the surface if the "iceberg" we call our lives.
you definitely didnt, everyone in these stories remembers it way too fondly and lets it define them
You're good bro
Im almost 23 and i also barely remember it. Maybe it has something to do with the mixture of substances i was constantly on. Nahhhhh
@@barnacleboi2595 I'm in the same boat minus the substances, so I doubt that's the reason.
Some people here don't know the difference between " I liked my time at school " and "school is my only sense of identity "
I hated school. Not school itself, just my classmates.
@@solidstate9451 Same. It is just the teachers, students and other staff as well that make school hell. 😔 I like learning but damn.
@@icannotcomeupwithanything4609 exact opposite here
i like the kids at my scl i hate the teachers and stupid rules tho
did i mention we dont have girls at our scl
Yes and many people are projecting their insecurities onto others that's for sure...what I find funny about some of the comments is they judge people for being stuck in the past when many of them are just as stuck themselves
@@solidstate9451 sane!!!
It sucks that high school can make you feel like you are either the best of the best or a waste of air without really preparing you for the real world. Not all popular kids peak in HS, of course, and not all misfits and outcasts become multimillionaire app creators. But it's definitely not as representative of the rest of your life as you believe at the time.
I seen a guy I went to school with and we didn't get along than, well it was 7 years after we graduated, I gave him a nod and looked over and he was flipping me off. I thought well I geuss were still not getting along. I just laughed and started walking away. He started to say something shitty, I made it very clear there isn't any teachers to protect him from me. Dude used to wear his letterman jacket. Lol
@@andrewshepherd5249 why did y’all not get along
What I have noticed is how people don't change from high school. Their surroundings will change, they will go to college or get a trade job, get married, have a kid, etc. But mentally they are still in high school. They haven't grown as a person, no development or realizations. If they were shitty people in high school, they are shitty now (I'm 23 graduated hs in 2015).
It's sad more than anything else.
It is
You gotta grow up at some point. But you can still be silly and fun in moderation of course
Graduated same year and maybe talk to 2 people i went to school with. Everyone loves drama even 6 years on
I'm 31 and honestly the mean girls in high school are still bullies to this day. It's pretty pathetic like seriously grow up.
Had an online bully that would comment on my old videos when I was in highschool 3 years ago. He replied to me again in 2020 still thinking I'm the same person and all. I suddenly remember him and told him (To sum it up) he hasn't changed and my life is a lot better.
I may be biased but it seems life reddit is biased to the side of people who didn’t enjoy high school, I think there’s a big difference between being nostalgic about the time you spent with your friends without any real responsibilities and the sense of having your whole life ahead of you vs not knowing how to adapt to the real world and spending the rest of your life lamenting the passage of time. High school gave me my best friends, good memories and I went to a high school that prepared me really well for life, I’m glad it happened but I’m glad that I have other things to look forward to
I’ve seen a lot of these reddit videos with opposing perspective of this. Like how popular people are more confident and more likely to be more successful. It’s probably the topic, that’s why the video is filled with stories of people that peaked in high school. So I don’t think reddit users has anything yk do with this
@@kajjafeeluv__775 man idk. successful or not school just starts to suck after a while
Me to customer what I'm saying it's really just people who did it at Floyd High School maybe you were popular and had a fun doesn't mean you necessarily P it just means that you enjoyed your time there
Listen Newton, you may have immense success, proven theory’s, and other achievements, but I’m a guy who works at a grocery store and I say your wrong!
reddit users are the ones that got bullied and had no friends to talk to, hence they talked to people online..
My dad says that if you want to feel good about yourself, go to your high school reunion. I think I believe him now.
Not for me, I'm not successful nor prettier
It's like going to a cheap all-you-can-eat buffet if you feel you're getting a bit overweight. Other people there will make you feel light as a feather!
Oooh i can't wait, the people who though i was a pushover are going to have a reallll big fucking awaking when i smack the shit outta them infornt of everyone
Never! I don't want to hang around with the bullies who made my life a living hell!
@@usagi18 I gained 40 kg in 2 pregnancies and was half a year in a psychotherapeutig hospital, wasn't able to finish university due to health issues, although I was one of the smartest kids in class.
Al Bundy bragging about how he scored 4 touchdowns in a game for Polk High in the 1966 City Championship game 🤣
Yup, emulating Al Bundy is not a life plan.
@@billolsen4360 Guy worked at a shoe store and provided for 4 people. He also owned a house in Chicago
@@IHateNicolasCage Ya got a good point there!
Say what you want about Al but consider this: In one episode, Kelly was participating in a game show in order to win thousands of dollars. AL was teaching her sports facts. In the end, only one question remained:
_"Which high school football player managed to score four touchdowns in one game for Polk High in 1966?"_
It was the only information that she'd forgotten.
After booting Kelly, the game master asked the studio audience to reveal the answer.
Everybody, at the same time, loudly exclaimed: *"AL BUNDY!!!"*
Decades had gone by since 1966. But in Chicago, the memory of Al Bundy's peak in life still lived on.
Anyone who says “high school are the best years of your life” peaked in high school.
Where I live high school is 6 years and you start around 10. The first 4 years sucked for me and the next 2 were a mix of average and good. But I'm much better off now that I'm done with it.
eh, i'm doing better now but I still say high school is the best years of your life. No bills, no worries, no stress. My biggest fear in high school was if my friends couldn't play, lmao. I WISH i could go back to such simple times brother. Wait till you're out of school, you'll realize how easy and great you had it before..
@@0xsergy yeah definitely for some people but some people had a terrible time in high school and had a better time afterwards
@@zakl940 fair enough, i'm obviously speaking only from my own experiences.
Lol my aunt
In 2018 I received an invite for my 10 year reunion. I showed it to my wife, who went to the same school and graduated in the same year. She laughed, we both said no way, and then saw Facebook posts about how only a handful of the "popular" kids showed up and it was a train wreck.
I passed on both my 10 and 20 year reunions. From what I was told, I didn't miss a damned thing of significance.
Our 5 year reunion was held at a sketchy bar in the next town over from where we graduated. I lived about 2 hours away and had no intention of going (especially once I heard where it was being held). Somebody apparently got stabbed and robbed. Never heard anything after that but sounds right for that bar. Our 10 year would have been in 2020 so it was likely cancelled but also, our class leadership was the bottom of the barrel. After the bar incident I don’t think they have any intention of trying to set up another reunion. Which is fine by me, I hated most of the kids I graduated with.
Lol, did we graduate together? I graduated in 08 and laughed at my 10 year reunion invite too.
This really just goes to show that you shouldn’t care too much about how you are perceived by people in highschool or really the social hierarchy.
Literally doesn’t matter after highschool as most people will never see you again anyway.
I don’t see why everyone is down on people wearing their letterman jackets. An old boss of mine was wearing his in his late 20s/early 30s. His logic was that it was comfortable, warm (a feature not to be sniffed at when you live in Alberta, Canada) and still in pretty good shape. Basically a well made garment that his seamstress wife kept alive with a little basic maintenance. So long as he wasn’t wearing it to business meetings, have at ‘er!
That's what I was thinking! My jacket is almost ten years old and it still holds up.
most of the complaints i see about the letterman jacket stem from them being arrested or doing otherwise stupid shit while wearing them, i.e. trying to act like a delinquent teenager when you're in your 20's/30's
I will buy a better jacket. I still have my PE shirt. I haven't worn it since I graduated in 2000. I just crack a smile when I see it.
I get what they mean. If you still fit into it than fine. (I still have my golf shirt which I wore ocasionally). Unfortunately it's the people who think they are still skinny or short enough to wear the clothes.
I didn’t get a jacket, but I got a sweater. Its hella warm and I’ll wear it once or twice in the winter time
I think being a jock as a girl is different, you’re never really popular and you don’t date because
1. You’re always at practice
2. The dudes think you’re too manly to date
Depends on the school. In my small rural school, the "popular", "jock" and "church" girls were all the same.
I always got the impression they werent interested in dudes because of the way they fondled each other
@@squash6497 what about the ‘average’ girl?
Depends on the school. At my high school the sports girls weren't manly at all, they were all bimbo barbie dolls for the male athletes and were just as basic and "OMG I'm like...so popular" as the cheer leaders. All the sports teams got out of practice at the same time so you'd have this wave of football players making out with female baseball players, volleyball players, female basketball players the whole high school right outside the bus stops and waiting for the parents with cars.
I liked high school but my high school wasn’t really popular and unpopular kids. We all had mutual respect for each other. But there’s so much more to life than high school!
I was never a popular kid in highschool but I still enjoyed it. I’m still close friends with some of the people i knew back then. We were all theatre kids so you build a weird cult level bond at some point. But I don’t think I peaked then. I genuinely view highschool me as a completely different human. I mean if I talked to them we would just be so different from each other. It’s cool to see how you evolve through life. No idea why I’m leaving this comment. Just feeling sappy I guess
I had a similar experience. The only difference is I was a band kid. We too had an almost cult bond. Nowadays we’re all out in the world doing whatever and many of us don’t talk, or the ones that do have really cut down the numbers in their circle. I agree about it would be strange talking to them nowadays because we’re all so different now
It's just growth, I also see my high school self as a totally different person.
When I graduated from that hell hole I never went back
Cool story
People that say “you’ll look back and love high school.”
Nope.
I’m 37. Still cringe if I drive by the building 20 years later.
I miss gym class, it was fun exercise as opposed to boring adult exercise lol
TRUTH! I am FB "friends" with some people I went to high school with. The very same "Cool people" cliques STILL hang around each other, doing the same crappy things, and posting their fun on FB. I graduated in 1988, so yeah its all kinds of cringe 😒.
@@amandab8433 No offense but you sound a little salty. People who were friends in high-school are still friends to this day and have fun together? The horror. I'm still friends with my circle from high-school despite graduating nearly a decade ago, and I hope in two decades I still will be.
@@plmokm33 Trust me I am faaaaar from jealous of a group of 50 year olds who still think it's "Gnarly" to make fun of "Nerds", or who still think it's "Cool" to post about keggers. If that makes me salty then so be it 🙄
@@amandab8433 well, you didn't specify that. All you said was that they still hang out and have fun together.
I don't think wearing your letterman from HS means you peaked in high school. Sometimes im just cold lmao
Its like military surplus. A bit tacky to wear in public and may give vibes you dont want to give (and in the case of military surplus people screaming “sToLeN vAloR” when they dont know what stolen calor actually is (soliciting/begging for money while wearing a uniform you did not earn or trying to convince people your a veteran when your not). never had it happen to me but I dont wear military garb outside of my property so thats probably why lol. Yeah if its a good article of clothing I dont see much issue with it
To be fair, those jackets are expensive & built for the cold. If I paid the money for it & I'm freezing, I'ma wear it regardless 😅😅😅
Yep. The people against it just want to find something to talk shit about & feel superior. It doesn’t make sense to waste that much money on something you plan on not wearing often.
You must be in your early 20s
middle school but i remember i had a huge crush on this; typical “bad boy” behavior and i was like uhhh he’s so cool and because he smokes and talks back at teacher..i remember everytime he talked to me i would get super happy. (also i was 14, he was 16) eventually i moved on and changed schools, never really thought about him. This year around christmas he started to message me on instagram saying i grew up beautiful and he should get together and talk about the glory days in middle school and how life has been. i eventually had to block him because it got pretty overwhelming this dude talking something that happened almost 10 years ago and i gave 0 shits about
I was going to message some girl I had a crush on from my geography class from when I was 16 and she was 15 but I decided against it because I thought it'd be weird especially because I was to nervous to ask her out back then. Thanks for the insight that I made the right choice
@Mexicanus Prime I wasn't addressing you. I was addressing OP. The situation between me and that old crush was complicated so I just used too nervous as a euphemism. I know I could've successfully messaged her and seen what I missed out on but I just thought with me demons, it's better if I just let her be
Excuse me did you just say Middle School he was smoking in Middle School?!
Middle school?
Lots of girls do this actually. When I was in high school all the girls loved the assholes, the smokers, leather jacket bullies, class distrupters that disrespect teachers and bad boys bla bla. These boys either ruin them, break their hearts, sexually assault them damage them we all know the story - then 10, 15 years later when they run into the nerds they rejected who now have great careers and are in great shape because we didn't drug and drink the past decade away - they want to "give us a chance". I'm on my executive team page of my company's web site and I've had at least 3 "cool girls" and a female *horrendous* bully contact me to see "how I'm doing", I look them up on social media and they're an total MESS I would go nowhere near. It's a very common pattern in my industry.
The only things I remember in high school is studying, since I was in an advanced placement class. On top of that, I was pretty much a social outcast, just hiding from most people. And it worked, some people don’t even remember that I existed. I couldn’t fit in as the trauma from getting bullied in junior and middle school by both students and teachers.
I found out that my past probably developed my body to increase my heartrate when talking to people, but I hide it pretty well to the point that its probably not that noticeable.
Its pretty sad since, its not my true personality to have social anxiety. I used to be a really positive and outgoing kid, but the environment forced me to become more reserved.
I hope things are better for you now
Aww no I hope things get better now
in the uk, proms arent really a thing, some places have them, but they arent treated as highly, rather its near the end of year, and is more of a goodbye party-type thing
British here.
I left high school in 2007 and we had a prom. I chose not to go and remember feeling like I'd really missed out when everyone was talking about how good it was for weeks after. Every so often someone will put a picture up on Facebook from the prom and if there's one thing I've noticed it's that those who did attend haven't matured a day since leaving HS but they've most certainly piled on the lbs and love to live in the past.
Me who wears my class ring
“What I just like the design”
Lol.. I love my university ring (and hated my university). It has a beautiful blue stone in the middle, made of synthetic platinum... best material ever, shines like on the first day, and is very lightweight (and of course, it was cheap!!). Whenever I wear something royal blue, I wear it.
@@usagi18 Royal blue is a very nice color so this is fine.
Our class ring is a really old school design. I don't wear mine but I keep it safe because it's still meaningful.
@@Ixe2077 yes, indeed it is
My G-ma was old school and thought that everyone HAD to have a Ring, Jacket, and Car as a senior to be someone. She spent $400+ on a ring I didn't want then so I learned to love it and now switch between my Uni and HS ring depending on what I am wearing since the stones are school colors not birth month
You hang out in the alleyway, sipping beers with your buddies, and say “Yep! Yuuup! Yup! Mmm-hmmm!”
🤣 I completely forgot about that show until I saw your comment. The older I got, the funnier I thought it was. I wonder when I just forgot it exists lol.
I absolutely love this movie called Young Adult about a former popular girl, now 38 and a YA novel writer, who goes back to her hometown to try and win back her high school sweetheart. It's sad cringe all the way
I scored 4 touchdowns in a single game, Peg!
No idea what that means but good job!
Married With Children! Hilarious!
A guy I knew named Nathaniel, he screams he's popular but I've never knew him till this year
I was an Army brat... we moved every couple of years, so schools and friends were inconsistent. Sometimes i wish I had friends from when I was back in school. But after watching this, nah, I'm good.
This makes no sense and it is stupid if you take more than a couple seconds to think about the flawed logic.
People who are older than me: You should’ve learned how to do taxes in high school!
Me: *First of all,* the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. *Second,* high school didn’t teach me taxes, but *THANK GOD* I know how to solve for x now.
I'll never understand why american's have to do their own taxes
@@Reiver-93 You don’t have to do your own taxes in other countries?!
@@annmorgan676 Nope, in the UK HM Revenue and Customs does your taxes for you. Really it's only business that need to do taxes manually.
@@Reiver-93 LUCKY!
I know the mitochondria thing is a meme in itself, but the sad part is that in reality most people doesn't even learn biology properly during school and thats why we have grown ass adults falling for crap like homeopathy and anti vaccine movement and who also can't do their taxes
I honestly did peak in HS. It made me make alot of mistakes in my early 20s. Almost 30 now, I miss it still. But I've found appreciation tenfold in life.
While in college, a group of girls that were "popular" went to the same college as me. I would see them around together all the time. Sometimes with an orbit of different guys. No different girls. This isn't as crazy as other things, but it always made me cringe when I saw them.
why
@@khatunamezvrishvili6211 Because they were still holding onto the high-school mentality of social hierarchy and popularity, not becoming friends with any other girls, at a time when that all crumbles away. In university, there aren't really any "cool kids" or social hierarchies.
high school: insecure children desperately seeking validation by pretentiously putting on a show for eachother.
right.. this totally ends in high school lmao. For a ton of people it seems to be life.
some guy yelling 'i peaked in high school'
High school was hell for me, there was one kid lower on the social ranking then me, he's now married, which I don't get, he totally seemed to be the type to not even know what sex was untill 18, in the locker rooms he would change in the stall..
As for me, I was the quiet one so nobody remembers me, only ever got a fr on FB by my primary school best freind, dunno what happened to all the popular people as the ones I remember don't seem to have it, I was just always known as the kid with the dead mum, I'm surprised some of the people I was kinda freinds with never added me, as always even back then people would call me sad, I assume nobody fr me because it makes them feel bad, I ended up with more PTSD and am all kinds of screwed up mentally, part of it was my high school experience, completely alone as I am to this day, can't even get people to add me on discord even tho it's right on my TH-cam account
Cool
Sounds very lonely man, I would suggest trying to get a job or start a new hobby. Much easier said than done especially if you have mental issues, but if you put your mind to it, you can do it. Getting a job or hobby would give you a routine and force you to interact with new people, maybe they won’t be your best friends but you could be friendly! If you can’t do that then try and spend time with your family and be the best family member you can be. Anyways just my suggestions, good luck man!
you sound kinda sad.
"Bestie sales pitch" hit me hard.
I knew a guy named Nathaniel back went to elementary and middle school. He was a really tall, really quiet native kid that was actually really funny and nice. In highschool sophomore year he got his first girl who was obviously taking advantage of his kindness to control him, typical "My boyfriend" stuff.
Fast forward to after graduation, I moved away and went to a different school after sophomore year and come to find out, he became a druggie somewhere along his life and was apparently struggling enough to either drive away or emotionally destroy the people close to him. Tragic, because Natives suffer addiction at higher rates than any other race. He contacted me with this "sales pitch", though he wasn't exactly selling anything it was obviously dishonest. He said some politician or whatever was holding $10,000 for me and for whatever reason contacted Nathaniel to get to me...I told him straight up I was suspicious and he reassured me, I told him I would look and get back to him on it...never did. And he never texted back either. Now his account no longer exists.
When I was in high school I knew a guy I’ll call nick. He never talked to me much, he was never mean but certainly distanced. YEARS later I see the guy and the first thing he says is sorry for never talking to me. We sit down and talk and have been changing and trying new things in life. That is a guy who did not peak in high school.
Correction: That sounds like a guy who almost peaked in high school, sat down, and suddenly realised, "Holy shit, I don't want to live this way"
@@michaellyndon6982 yeah he really improved himself.

I was working at Walmart, in Washington state. There happens to be a guy from Reno High School and I went to Douglas high school. He booed me , and said RHS was the best. I shrugged my shoulders , I say high school good parts / bad parts. He god mad and said " high school was best parts of his life"
I immediately felt sad for him. We were 27 - 29 prespectivley. He has been working at walmart for 10 years and was proud. Said to me that is the best he can do. I felt sad for him.
Too funny, I graduated and never look back. 🤣
I'm glad I never invested in a class ring. So expensive plus it's such a tacky ring to wear when you're older.
We had so many people buy them and I was taunted for not getting one. 11 years later and only the bums still wear them.
@@fieryjalapenos4442 one of my friends did buy one and I don't think any less of her for it, but I think I could invest the money to something else other than a ring that'll just stay in a box once you reach college
The class ring for my school is Ruby Red it looks pretty good I actually kind of liked it
@@scj1668 :) more power to you for liking it. One of my friends got a ring that had an opal in it and while I think it's pretty, the price to get the ring (with engravings, names, gemstone, etc) was just too much to justify getting one for me.
the people who just cant let go and move on with their lives.
I do not want to remember high school but sadly I think I peaked then.
I got most of the bad symptoms of a genetic disease when I was 17 and haven't done really anything with my life except fail miserably.
I like you're Playlists.
Jesus sorry to hear bout that, I hope you will feel better knowing I used to be friends with a guy who’s entire personality was smoking weed, posted pics and videos of him smoking and shit, the typical bad at school smoker who was too good to hangout with actually decent people, he is still like that to this day and I hope this’ll make you feel better lol.

I was groomed by one ten years older than me around the time when I got sick (except he didn't do the videos. He also never cleaned, including himself.) That was six years of hell that I've been through that are still affecting my life, badly.

Given up nearly on any relationship though. Not being trapped with someone who could turn on me at any time.
There's a study somewhere that states that a group of people who haven't seen each other in a few years will act in the same manner as the last time they were together. Idk how accurate it is but it explains a lot of old high school acquaintances
Everyone who cant get over the drama from the 20 years ago they were there
also;
"ahhh highchool Theyre the best years of your life" for 1/10 people im sure it is.
"You have to experience college its the best years of your life"
"Youre now expected to get a job, settle down and have a family, but dont worry its just the beginning of your life"
Not letting the school bully change and be a better person. People do change, sometimes it takes years, but they do sometimes come to realize how horribly the behaved in school, and try to make it right. Denying them the right to move on, and treating them like they’re still that person proves that the only one that hasn’t moved on is you.
Well there are some exceptions sometimes

@@alexandraluster284 While there are bullies that are in the case of redemption, there are others bullies who do those things, for """"fun"""", they don't have an sad background or an solid reason for the way they act, sometimes those bullies are just awful people and aren't going to change because they don't even care about what happened, and probably already forgot how little danny almost committed suicide because of them, damn I dare to say they are living the best of their lifes(or worst if you are petty like me), with an successful career and a happy family, all ignorant to the things they did in the past, and might even be proud of what was done, so in the best cases, if you can't fight them directly, the best you can do is try to recover from the scars and avoid those tipes of people.
Fuck I just wrote I whole ass essay about my point of view and it got deleted and- oh it actually is here yay :D
@@rockhistoria2537 I did say that if they try to be better, like actually apologized and tried to make amends to victims. If you aren't willing to give them that chance, and accept that they have seen the light and aren't that horrible jerk anymore, then you're even worse than them.
I wish I peaked in high school but instead I peaked in 1st grade and only got worse after
I don't even have my high school graduation cap or framed diploma anymore. They got lost in boxes over time and i didnt see the need to display them or anything since I skated through highschool with B's and C's.
I do miss high school, but only because I just graduated in 2020 and reminisce about pre-COVID times. College has been pretty depressing so far, hopefully getting better though
Sounds like my mother's boyfriend
Says highschool is gonna be one of my best days or some shit - Idk how to word it but I'm sure you get what I mean lmao
But the thing is, I'm autistic and suffer from depression. School is fucking hell for me, and online is worse since I can't focus. This dude clearly didn't think about his education and spent time skipping school and getting drunk.
Nothing about HS itself is all that great. I've been out for 20 years and couldn't name 5 actually interesting things that happened in HS with a gun to my head. The thing that makes those years good is that it's the last time you'll be without any real responsibilities. You'll also be almost smart enough to know how to fully enjoy that. Most of the fun is hanging out with friends outside of school and your parents starting to loosen your restrictions.
That first year after HS, the real world hits you like a freight train and things can go to sh!t for a little bit while you sort out how to adult.
Also - Don't skip school or get drunk. Most of the time it turns out alright. But, periodically, both behaviors can kick up all kinds of crazy problems. I've seen both result in failed years, expulsions, and, in one case, actual prison time.
When the girl who graduated in 2016 won't shut up about her high school experience. It's 2021 and she still won't shut up, and keeps posting memes of lockers that have heartfelt shit written on them.
Peak was playing Halo CE lan with entire computer class everyday at school.
I had to finish my last two years of high in the US (I came to the country with two years done already). While I didn't exactly peaked at school, I really enjoyed my time there, the school trips, the activities, the friends and the educational opportunities to grow. My only regret was not being in the country before.
I can confirm the UK story. We really don't give a shit about high school. Also there doesn't seem too much of a hierarchy. There's no popular and unpopular kids. We had hoodies and a year book but barely anyone wanted them. Better things to waste money on.
Isn't it the same in all EU countries.
That sounds so amazingly British.
@@greatiusiterfector4519 You might be right. I do feel that caring too mush about high school is a US thing.
@@elizabethfilcher1790 As someone who is from the US, and graduated high school last year I can confirm that it is US thing.
I'm sure you speak for everyone over there and their experiences
I've seen many popular people from high school (a few of them genuinely nice people) either cutting grass, killed doing stupid things (drug, driving, etc), killed themselves intentionally or working at Starbucks (killing themselves slowly). These 15 years later I'm making more money than every single person of which I know their income. There have been times I tried to bring them along with me, hire them or give them some advice - but some people just can't make good decisions.
I'm only 21 but so far highschool has easily been the most fun part of my life tbh
I just ran into an old friend from HS who is mentally still stuck in HS. We graduated in 2016 and both of us were alternative and were glued to tumblr and had mental health issues. And unfortunately we had that kind competition that some teens have of mental illness Olympics (“my mental health is worse!” “No mine!”). This kind of thinking usually gets squashed, the moment you go out in the world. Saw her at the grocery store the other day and she literally gave me a laundry list of her new mental illnesses and without prompting, shows me her newest cuts. This is the real world now. We aren’t going to sit together and cry and lament our mental struggles, someone is gonna call 911 and she’s gonna get 5150ed! We gotta take control of our sh now bc we can’t afford not to anymore.
The only people that think that popularity in high school matters are popular people who hit a brick wall after 99% of their "friends" disappear to never talk to again
I graduated almost a decade ago (I skipped a few grades), and I cringe every time I open Facebook (because most of my ex-classmates cannot use any other kind of social media), and it's the same 5-7 former popular girls always doing things together, shopping together, dining together, taking their kids to school in groups... I mean, good for them, but it's like they never made any more friends after high school, and they are 27-28 years old now. I haven't really talked to anyone from my HS after graduation, just a couple I have run into in the town I live in now.
I find that in my school specifically, I'm glad there isn't really a social hierarchy. It may be because of covid , but idk maybe times have changed.
My life has gotten MUCH better after high school. I was extremely underweight, weak, shy, depressed, had no money and my shoes had holes in them. Now, I lift weights, make alot of money investing, traveling the world, and I know what I want in life. Always work on yourself and struggle is temporary.
I hate the fact that I don’t even remember high school, and I didn’t keep in touch with many anyone besides a few people :/
And I graduated less than a year ago
17:59 “well thats not so bad, maybe they’re trying to show they have leadership sk- ohhh....”
11:15 what LB record would he break with 30 yards? Longest tackle of the year?
I haven’t even begun to peak!
You’ll know when I peak. .
I’m a 5 star man!
High school was so meh to me. It was at least a time I started opening up to more people. So it wasn’t too bad
_"I scored four touchdowns in one game once, you know?!"_
What's a Letterman Jacket? I'm not from America
@Yung Katt I assume is the kind of jacket we always see jocks wearing in HS sitcom?
I only went to one school reunion - back in the day when Friends Reunited was a thing.
Had nothing in common with the others, any more than I'd had anything in common with them at school except we were in the same year - and that had been about 20 years previously. Not the most fun night of my life.
Pathetic to see how so many people have no real life except social media and trip on other people's life instead of having one themselves
There's reddit
@@BitchChill Lol🌝📻😁
another one who failed art school oh no
Some of these are legit "peaked in HS" others are just people being nostalgiac for their time in school which is fine
I wished I did a few things differently, COVID had us staying at home so the only college memories were two shitty semesters and the rest were online. High school was fun :(
A woman in my friend group, for a few yrs, bragged about being the leader of the mean girl / bullies in the high school she went to, said she enjoyed the power. She was 40ish at the time. The bragging said a LOT about her. My first thought was 'If I had done that shit in HS I would be embarrassed about it now' second thought was 'if she is proud of that it says she 1- hasn't developed as an adult since HS + probably continues to do it now'. Well I was right about both. She would make snide remarks to me under her breath, loud enough for others to hear but I could only hear a bit, so I would keep asking her over + over what she said, until sometimes she would blow up at me + run out of the place we were. So I distanced myself from her, as it turns out most of her other friends have dropped her after a while as she started picking on one of them, then another. They got together + dumped her on mass, telling her what they thought of her. I know this as I live in the same building as her + some of the others + bump into her in the elevator from time to time.
I graduated at the end of last year. I didn't even go back to collect my school reference.
(Idk if they have them in other countries but a school reference is something your year/grade advisor writes out for you so you can put it in your resume)
Joining an MLM
I'm not on BookFace now because I don't really care about what folks from Highschool are doing.
All my memorable moments are from things I did/learned at home. Sad.
I was not popular in HS. Never had a HS sweetheart, didn't get invited to prom or was turned down, played sports but was not a star (though I did get a scholarship to a small college, didn't attend), never got invited to parties, and was picked on. left HS behind me and found life was better without it! I joined the military and left that Monday after Friday's graduation. I traveled the world, got married, had kids, graduated college with a Master's in Psyciatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner! Nowadays most of my classmates and others want to talk to me, travel when I go to college or NFL games, wasnt to be friends on my FB page (only use it for friends, family, and old military buddies), and now some of the women are trying to hit on me in my DM's..lol! Don't let HS mold you, mold yourself!
this makes me a little sad, because i often recall my early 20s with my friends, and we always remember how good those times were, how much fun we had and how much carefree we were.
Aww man, these are BRUTAL 😭 thank goodness I didn’t peak in high school lol
okay but that one about the dude preferring to be called something else is valid... i mean it does depend on what the name was that he preferred, and for what his reasons were. but if he was just a dude who wanted to change his name then he's valid for that.
When hanging out with my highschool friends and one guy keeps bringing up highschool related stuff when no one in the group remembered or asked for about it.
Still bringing up old high school-related drama 15 years later
From my observation people who peaked in high school normally never evolve at least aesthetically. Same hair style, clothing, lingo, humour. Wait, what I actually mean to say is that they'll remain in whatever stage of life they felt the most successful and happy. Kind of why you see older people that still dress the same from their youth.
Seriously who tf buys a class ring in High School?
Like college I can understand, maybe... but, High School? C’MON MAN
a lot of these are more "i wasnt popular in high school and am still bitter about it 10 years later"
Obsessing over popular people in high school after you are done with high school.
Running around screaming "I peaked in high school!"
Ngl, I only watch these cuz I never even went past year 8 (like ages 13-14 if I remember right) and was homeschooled and at times I'm glad I didn't go back and times where I'm sad I didn't go back lol
4 touchdowns in a single game......Al Bundy, making the throwing the football throw position
I’ve blocked out any and all school memories, and I’m still in school.
what does it mean to "peak" in high school?? like, is it peeking socially as in prom king/queen/popular? or peaked as in academically and becoming famous?
“Peaking in high school” means that you can not get over the memories of your high school years way beyond the high school days being over. For example, graduating in the 90’s and still wearing your varsity jacket and talking about high school in 2021.
Peaking in high school means your biggest achievements are in high school. Like I’m proud of my sporting achievements from school. But I don’t bring it up, some times my parents do or people I know do. But my achievements are saving up and going on months long holidays to Europe and seeing all the battlefields. Overcoming (barely) having my bowel removed and having a colostomy bag which is thankfully now gone. None of the stuff I did in high school is relevant to my life at all.
I'm 41 and a there's a guy I went to elementary/MS/HS with whose FB feed is like 75% nostalgia posts. If it's not scans of old pics of him snd his friends or the HS and MS yearbooks, it's "hey, what ever happened to (classmate)?" or an ad or logo from some old tv show, movie, discontinued product or defunct business with the caption "who remembers this?"
Ok I wear my lettermen jacket because it’s stylish. I didn’t peak in highschool, hopefully

That hit very hard
I was heavily bullied in HS. I thought I'd never forget it. I'd think about it day and night. It took 5 years for me to forget all the nasty things they did for me out of nothing but finally I can say I'm over it. I don't know if it is because I matured or if it is because worse things happened since then lol. But I'm finally doing good. The sad part is, it took too long for me to gain control over my life. I wish it were like those stories when the bullied kid gets successfull right after HS and all that fantasy, specially because I was so nerdy. Unfortunally it hasnt like that...but I'm glad I'm still here and kicking.
What about Primary School? I think I peaked at 11.
Me too.
12:43 To be fair, where I grew up and went to school there were a lot of private-owned pubs arounds and only one chain pub, our Wetherspoons (UK), and it was the cheapest place, so everyone of every age drinks there or at the bar next door when it's open (which isn't often). So the patrons and the workers of 'Spoons are all students/former students. But other than sharing stories about rumours and shit, no one gives much of a crap about secondary school in the UK. Not once they've left it.
I know a guy who scored 4 touchdowns in a single game at Polk High.
Idk why but I like this channel more than the main one. Funnier topics I guess
