Thanks hysteriax for sharing. I just wanted to concur with what everyone else has said and to reassure you that college is indeed much better. In high school everyone cares about what social group you belong to such as "emo" "prep" "nerd" etc. but in college no one really cares. You are just you. I remember being really jealous sometimes of all the people in high school whose parents could afford Nike and other name brand shoes and clothes, but once again in college no one cares. Everyone knows that you are all pretty much a bunch of poor college students who wear jeans, t-shirts, and flip flops. Even my friends who have wealthy parents don't flaunt it and they aren't more popular because they have more money like they would be in high school. Anyway, I hope that makes you feel a little better and gives you some hope for the future. Thanks again for sharing!
