> Yeh dude, Highschool is highschool… you get thrown into your little caste from however you were in Junior high and without remarkable effort that doesn’t change.
> 
> Go outside highschool - Get a hobby where you will meet new people (not associated with people in your highschool) and forget about all the silly little bullshit.
> 
> ## One of the best things that ever happened to me was going to a week long conference in Grade 10 - ended up being the only person from my school to go that week (normally 2 people from a particular school would go during each session… I just happened to choose a week where nobody else wanted too)
> 
> ## I get there and was like - well I never have to see these people again -\> I’m just going to be myself and not give a shit. At the end of the week one particular girl actually cried when we left for different airport terminals (she was a HORRIBLE kisser… )
> 
> The experience completely changed my outlook, I realized that I was a naturally likeable guy and all this bullshit at school wasn’t worth it. I proceeded to dump the majority of my “friends” (they treated me like shit) and spent the next two years being the kinda weird guy who really just didn’t give a shit about what people thought of him.
> 
> Funny thing was… in Grade 12 there was this girl who had graduated a couple years earlier and was coming back to upgrade. Ended up sitting beside me randomly in Chem class and, because I talk constantly when I’m bored (and highschool chem is boring) we chatted it up. She ended up sitting with me in Physics as well.
> 
> ## Long story short - halfway through the term she comes up to me and goes “People think really weird shit about you”… After my look of confusion “Wazzat?” she explained she was having a convo with people in her applied math and the subject got onto me (somehow). She said I was cool… people went really… you’re talking about Seewald? The rest of our convo was about how Highschool is absolutely ridiculous.
> 
> Anyways long personal story short - Plenty of evidence that I’m a social guy… likeable - didn’t matter even when social proofed from an older girl that people thought was cool - Didn’t matter that I was dating an older girl from another highschool in the city - I was the weird kid, and that was that.
> 
> Forget highschool, they think what they think there - look outside of it and FORGET all the bullshit from inside. Just be yourself - you’ll find people who like you for you and it is so much more enjoyable spending time like that.

Yeah your right, it gives me hope for the future.
