40 Cringey Behaviors That Scream “I Peaked In High School”

"if you're under 18, you won't be doin any time. Hey, come out and play". My mantra. I'm 18, I'm clean as a whistle.

Hm, my friend group from different high schools were partying hard back in time (middle '90- to early 2000s). It wasn't outstanding a 2-3 or even 4 days of a party at somebody's wineyard house. I'm safe to say, except of 2 persoin ( one guy, one girl), nobody has these kind of issues 25 years later. True, it wasn't the USA, "'just"' an eastern-european country. And before someone get started about wineyard house part (= rich kids): NOPE. It is very common in the town I was living through my high school-early '20s years for average income families.

I always felt those people were the real losers in high school. I had my kid young and went to a school for young parents. I thought I would meet some friends through commonality. Nope. There was still the same cliques, except the "cool" girls were the ones who pawned their kids to their parents to go out clubbing every weekend. A group of them took issue with me because I never went out. I told them I have better things to spend my money on. Hoo boy they got offended. One of them stormed into the baby changing area I was in, ranted in my ear how they can spend their money however they want, yadda yadda yadda. I never said they couldn't. All I said was that I have better thing to spend MY money on. Last I heard most of those girls had their kids apprehended.

That demeanor isn't cool at any age

Eh this could've been a joke among her and friends too though

Ok that girl in the pic Is absolutely stunning omg. I'm so jelly rn. ❤️❤️😊

The only thing I miss about high school is not feeling pain in the morning if I sleep wrong or sneezed too hard or do anything really.

It was most definitely NOT the best time, nor was college. TBH, the best times so far have been as a wife, mother, grandmother ... not saying it has all been perfect or wonderful or magical with rainbows and unicorns, far from, and some of my worst depressive bouts have been as an adult, but I wouldn't trade the smiles of my kids, the giggles of my grand, or the sound of my hubby saying he loves me for anything.

No to high school but college was pretty awesome. :)

I taught for 30+ years and I always told the graduates to not let high school be the highlight of their lives.

I miss not having responsibilities. It was the best hair health of my life for sure!

Who the hell still goes to high school reunions?

I didn't go to my Junior High 20 year reunion for this reason. I found on Facebook some meanies were still talking smack about me on pictures I wasn't in.

I didn't even know about my 30th reunion, because it was organized and publicized only on Facebook. I didn't really miss anything, though one of my classmates is a minor celebrity.

This incredibly annoying and stupid, but, not really sure how this is relevant to peaking in High School?

In my old neighbourhood, there was 2 vehicles who obnoxiously did this up and down the street, every day, into the evening and late night, from the final thaw of spring until the first snowfall. There was clearly no real place they were going. Just cruising up and down the street to p**s off people.

This says nothing about peaking in highschool, this is just an a*****e.

Was his name Al and was he trying to sell women's shoes?

Was his name Al & attended Polk High

Anything more than 10 years ago is usually irrelevant. I'm so glad I don't have to include certain things anymore.

That shows leadership skills as a young man. Doesn't mean he's not an asshat or good/ kind person just he can motivate other asshats and he's plenty of experience

Al Bundy vibes here.

And? Some people are happy that way. Maybe f*ck off and leave them alone?

all "plans" are in the future .....

OK if the cousins are the same age then it is hard to say cousin 1 has "done f@ckall with his life". America decries the decline of the family while also castigating anyone over 18 still living with their parents which, TBH, is why the American family unit used to be so strong - multi-generational family homes. You cannot say one is a loser and the other is not based solely on their education choices. Jobwise - way too many people view college as the be all and end all of life when for many, way too many, college is nothing but a way to incur debt that will stifle them for the next 40 years. Not everyone needs or wants a college degree in order to have a successful life. One of my cousins started at a fast food outlet in high school, skipped college all together and retired at 55 owning 4 franchises of that fast food outlet. The only "huge difference" between your two cousins is your judgment of what they *in your opinion* should be doing with their lives.

OP didn't need to clarify. She wasn't being rude. That is problematic of some people that she felt she needed to clarify.

He just sounds kinda stupid to me. Kinda sad really.

My husband's ex went to the same high school as I. Couple years behind me. We never knew each other then . Two years difference. Me, burnout nerd, her jock space cadet. I met her, weirdly, at my Dr s office 30 years later. Her kids were talking about this tall chick dad's dating . She was checking me in and ...the rest is blended family history

You go a bar to relax and then complain if a drunk tries to talk to you.

I find it sad not only were you catching flack for your recounting of the exchange but it was so bad you had to add further comments. I really don't like society right now.

Where I live, those made of felt and leather are very expensive. They are proper, well made jackets. Most have a random huge letter on the front, but people don't care beyond preferably the first letter of your name. They buy them because they are warm and the combination of felt body and leather arms looks nice. So people of all ages wear them.
