High School Sucked...Well Most of the Time.

In my high school it was either you were in the "in crowd" or you weren't. I had friends on both sides and hated that. I called myself a floater because I would float between groups. I played football freshman year of high school and after that were still friends with people on the team through the years, all the others were assholes. They were assholes to me even when I was playing, some people just never change. Come senior year I avoided pretty much everyone trying to break connections with everyone before everyone went to college. I'm glad I did, and if I had the choice to do it again I absolutely would.
I mostly hung out with the "metal heads". My buddies that I went to concerts with in high school. They were the best, I am still friends with most of them, except the ones I lost to drugs. My best friend in high school started smoking weed and that was fine everyone in high school did it except me, but that's besides the point. I lost my best friend to drugs, all he cared about was getting high more than hanging out with me. Then he started doing coke (another popular drug, even with the "jocks"). So I cut all ties with him altogether. After seeing that, I pledged to myself to never do drugs or drink, I went straightedge. I became minority, I had one edge friend in high school. And we are best friends today. You know how after the graduation ceremony everyone hangs out and takes pictures? Not me, I said good bye to my photo teacher and left. I basically said "fuck you" to the high school and left.
