robert Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You know I'm a positive guy! I just enjoyed the hell out of high school I will admit, middle school wasn't my favorite time to be alive....but elementary school and high school were pretty awesome! I look forward to dancing in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If I could go back to high school I'd do it in a second. I felt cheated going to a crap school for two years...the next two years were great and I'll remember them forever. As for this prom thing I'd love to go if I weren't in Maryland.

Dr. Pink Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I never went to my prom. I never went to any school dance. In fact I didn't even graduate. Which is why I am currently attending free community Adult School through the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I will admit, middle school wasn't my favorite time to be alive.... I don't think many of us enjoyed Middle School. My prom sucked though, because I got sick and my date accused me of "Not wanting to have fun", probably because I was too busy sitting down to prevent further vomiting...the life I live....

Besides not having friends and getting picked on on a daily basis I relatively loved middle school. It was elementary which was the worst. Middle school had it's ups and its downs. Sure I got picked on and had little friends but I never really paid any attention. I just went, learned and had a blast. The cafeteria lunches were awesome. Taco Bell and Subway( Which were located a block or two away ) made special meals for the school. OMG those burritos were the shit. I'd also occasionally have a cold cut trio( Obviously before going Veggie ) My only real experience with dancing came when I was in my high school plays. I got to learn the Waltz and the Tango for The Sound of Music. And then the cast party afterwards was a blast. So I guess that was my prom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I got bullied hardcore through school too. This one kid, picked on me for 10 years. One day I just had enough and told him to STFU. Basically, I was picked on for being smart, ugly, different, poor.. You name it. Destroyed my self esteem and ended up not enjoying high school.. Or even life in general for a long time.

Dr. Pink Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I was picked on a tremendous amount. Called Retard, Fag and lots of other crap. It went on from as early as I can remember all the way up to High School. But at least I had good friends in High School. Plus I had an Oblivious Mentality to everything that was going on around me. I just tuned them out. But in later years I realized that my deep locked depression was not all gone. My Depression possessed itself into food. I may have had an eating disorder due to all the name calling. I ballooned from 120 pounds( My final year of Junior High ) to 220 pounds ( Sophmore year in high school ) It took 4 years to break the curse too. And even now that I'm a vegan I don't think it's all completely gone. As you will/may have noticed I don't tend to make the best eating choices. I mean Organic Pure Cane Sugar isn't really a nutritional snack to eat on it's own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Eew sugar grosses me out. My sister is a sugar fiend. When she makes juice I won't drink it because it's too sweet. I had anorexia when I was 15. I still have body image issues. I don't think it'll ever go away :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lean and Green Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So I guess it's like a Secret Society?? haha one of my fav movies. Besides not having friends and getting picked on on a daily basis I relatively loved middle school. It was elementary which was the worst. Middle school had it's ups and its downs. Sure I got picked on and had little friends but I never really paid any attention. I just went, learned and had a blast. The cafeteria lunches were awesome. Taco Bell and Subway( Which were located a block or two away ) made special meals for the school. OMG those burritos were the shit.

I got to learn the Waltz and the Tango for The Sound of Music. And then the cast party afterwards was a blast. So I guess that was my prom Yeh Dr. Pink you aren't the only one man. I got ripped on in Junior High 6-8 as well as High School for the first year. I was a chubby kid 5'4" 155lbs and I had coke bottle glasses. Everyone found it funny to make fun of my last name. 'Marchese', they used to call me Marcheese and 'the cheese' that didn't happen in high school. It's an Italian name so the ch is like a 'k' but in america ch is 'cha' so that's what happened with that. I used to get attacked by the girls because as you know girls grow up quicker than boys and most girls were my height and taller. One girl broke my glasses and ripped up my face, I got an egg slapped on my head during a bus ride home on Halloween. It wasn't the best of times. When I got contacts and stopped wearing my glasses in the beginning of sophmore year my whole life changed. I got more confidence, that week people stopped picking on me, crazy man. I joined the tennis team as I had been playing for awhile outside of school anyhow. I lost alot of weight, grew 8 inches in two years. Girls started to notice me and the fact that my eyes were blue. Lunch meals were horrible. Cheeseburgers Pizza and Fries were the main things served. Once I started working out, I learned how to eat better around the age of 16. Funny story, I once drank a half gallon of milk for the 'protein' and had to go home from school b/c I couldn't be in class for more than 2 minutes without having to go to the br.

Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I got rid of people making fun of me for being big early on. I was made fun of a bit in Elementary school for being huge...I beat up a few people at the same time with many witnesses and everyone left me alone from then on. If you take it for too long you'll just accept it as part of the day...if you do something about it your much better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I would grow my hair out for two weeks and put lighting bolts in it....then I'd wear one of my cool Members Only vests with a really confidently popped collar. Even though I haven't worn it since I was 8 or 9yrs old...the vest would still fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipeb Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I had a bad elementary school time. Although the one bully that beat me up i make a point in making him my best friend. In middle school i observed a group of kids whose interactions i enjoyed and one day i went up to them and made myself known. We have been best friends ever since. Which is good because i had no real friends until the 7th grade. There was one guy who was the school thug in junior high and he came up to me one day and tried to punk me. He was like what you gonna do fight back. And i said fighting you would be a waste of time, your stronger than me and faster, and even if i managed to best you you have a lot of friends who would not let that slide. He looked at me taken aback and just kinda chucked and said your all right bojorquez. After that i was called professor bojorquez until well into highschool. my favor hoodlum use to joke to new kids and say"you better watch out for professor bojorquez, he be reading shakespeare and shit and just stab you." I dropped out of highschool in the tenth grade and went to college. I never attended a prom but i wish i had. Perhaps one day ill dress my cat up in tuxes and have a spotlight dance. followed by crying....oh and cookies. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
