Subject: High school isn't like what movies/shows/etc make it out to be.

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?

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

I went to a very academically-orientated high school, so there wasn't much place for 'fun' inside the school - most of us were the stay at home and study all weekend type in this senior year.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

It was for me.

hmm

I'm having fun, maintaining my social life/gaming and getting good grades.

  • 12.04.2012 2:55 AM PDT

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.

  • 12.04.2012 2:56 AM PDT

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

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

As a kid, TV shows gave me a false impression of the world and thus caused me many hardships.

That is all.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

I was clinically depressed for most of high school.

So I guess it was interesting, but not exactly fun.

To make shows/movies interesting... derp.

If you see this post in your topic I'm sorry to tell you but your topic is dying.

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.

You're telling me that movies aren't realistic? :O

  • 12.04.2012 3:49 AM PDT

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

I honestly couldn't tell you. I slept through my first 3 years and I am currently coasting through the the fourth(I've found that this year, if I miss one lecture(AP courses) I am dead). Unless its english, but my english teacher scares me so I stay awake anyway

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

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