(1,203 posts)69. I went to graduation but...
while everyone was cryng, I was so fucking thrilled to get out of there I could have done handsprings.
I was a brain thru school, and always harassed for that. Because I cared about my grades, and didn't have that much trouble passing tests, I was "different", which is the ultimate sin in high school. Plus, based on my friends, I was pegged as being gay (which was true), and that really made high school a challenge.
I can't say I ever thought of opening fire on everyone though, or of taking my own life. I knew back then that it would get better after getting out of there.
