Hydro, I'm 23 and recently graduated college. So highschool is still very fresh in my mind. I get the thread topic question. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the answer is no, it doesn't stop.

I too was under the impression that the highschool drama ******** stops in highschool. Then it carried into college and I thought maybe that's where it ends. Wrong again.

Its even worse in the "real world". But at least they are "adult" problems. But most people, some of those that even went to college and have sucessful careers, are still stuck in highschool. They treat Friday nights at the bar the same way the boys treat a Friday night football game now.

People have a natural urge to be the alpha male/female in whatever they do. All women are biatches and all men are a-holes. Just some of us control it better than others. That's my personal take on things anyway.

This wasn't meant to scare you or upset you, but to prepare you. If you begin to understand now that the problems you are facing now you are goin to have to face the rest of your life, the more you can do to ready yourself when they come up.

Some words of advice: don't let the little things get to you, listen to your doctors, and find a group of people that you trust and that will support you, no matter how bad things get. I found my group in college, my fraternity, and I credit them with saving my life and getting me the help I needed. (wasn't dx'd til junior year of college but struggling all my life).

Good luck and best wishes
