After not having a great time towards the end of highschool, I ended up spending most of my free time.between classes, in classes, and lunch, etc with the punk kids and the potheads. And they were some of the nicest and coolest fucking kids I've ever met. Super glad I had that experience because it definitely broke that propaganda fueled view I had of those two groups, for when i entered adulthood.

    Kind of similar for me, except that even the punk people found me too weird/boring/annoying. They were nice about it but definitely not interested in spending time with me, just taking pity on me.

    Aww, haha.
    I guess I can't really help, but I appreciate you. :p

    Also, I was looking at your comment history because I was curious what kind of person you were. That guy activating his yugioh trap card and calling you a pedophile because you flippantly said 12-years and not 19 or whatever he wanted is so fucking funny. It didn't even make sense. That was like watching a bird glide into a glass window.

    Haha, yep, I got a lot of joy from that, too. Guy must've never heard of when puberty starts and what it's for.

    Thanks for the kind words :) I'm alright now, but that teenager time was definitely quite wild/painful for me. I'm glad to have met so many amazing humans and appreciate people like you, too.
