You are going through what for many (myself included) are the most painful years of your life. But for once I have a bit of good news, you are also headed for a big "do over" when you go to college. You don't have to run off to a big college in a far off place, any one will do. One thing I would suggest though, move into the dorms, will be cramped and sort of suck in many ways, but it will toss you into the as a whole lot of people from all over with all sorts of different backgrounds, but you will all be in the same situation, on their own for the first time, no friends at this school, just looking to get by. Gave me a chance to put so much of the misery of Highschool behind me, while I didn’t exactly become the big man on campus I did make friends and for the most part fit in, was a new and cool environment.
I think most people fall into two camps, those who look back at Highschool with fond memories or those of us who look back at it as just a horribly painful experience. Can’t do much to make things better today, but you (YOU) have the opportunity fast approaching to make a clean break with that pain, leave it behind you.
And vent away, that is one of the nice things about this site.
