My 4 years of high school were boring. dull. not interesting at all.
Why do so many stories, movies, shows, etc. portray characters having interesting high school lives? That's not reality at all!
Which is why I want to get the Flood's opinion. Was your high school interesting? Could you make a show about it, or was it boring? Did I miss out on an amazing 4 years or something?

Dazed and Confused. Totes.

There were times I felt like doing a Virginia Tech

Not all High Schools are like MTV. Not every girl is pregnant

I could make a show about my life, but not about HS at all. Disney really tricked me this time around. [Edited on 12.04.2012 5:44 AM PST]

My high school was fun, I knew everyone and I was sorta popular. Wish I joined the basketball team, went to senior trip and my prom tho. That's pretty much my only regrets.

I don't know, maybe. Personally, I had a boring first two years of high school, but these last two years have been a lot of fun. A lot of sadness too, but a lot of fun nevertheless. I've had great times, made great memories, and I wouldn't trade these last two years for the world. You just need to say "Eff it" and go out and do something. Go to concerts with friends. Do some drugs. Drink a little. Goof off. Work. Live the life [i]you[/i] want to live, so when you're hitting your midlife crisis, you know deep down that you didn't screw up.

No TV show ever portrays reality tho, just look at Friends or Firefly

So your own personal experience is indicative of what everyone else experienced and must be the way it is for everyone, correct OP?

Well duhh, otherwise the Movies would be boring. What schools have that much stereotyping and prejudice? Now I know they have some, but not [i]that[/i] much.

If you look in the background of those movies you'll find a bunch of students doing nothing interesting, that's you. High school could have been interesting if you were willing to accept the consequences.

I was clinically depressed for most of high school. So I guess it was interesting, but not exactly [i]fun[/i].

I heard rumours about war not being the same as it is in the movies? Is this true???

Would you rather watch a movie about dull high school students, or have them portrayed as larger than life, over-the-top characters? The latter sounds like more fun to me.
