Nah..
In high school and college I was always broke and I didn't have a Monte Carlo so I almost never got laid...
The smoking didn't start until after my scholarly years either...

I have mixed feelings on those years. I did manage to graduate in 82. My grades weren't what I swass capableo of getting but I made it. I got into drinking and smoking things back then and didn't really care. Had kind of a troubled time since my Dad had passed away during my Junior year. On the bright side, I did go back to a community college and get my assoaciates degree(93) and back to a major University for my Bachelors (06). Anderson University. High school had its fun times and times that sucked. My school was divided into 2 groups, Jets and hoods. They each had their own parking lot. Needless to say guess where I parked. We were allowed to leave for lunch and drive around the school cruising our rides. Man, we left some rubber around that school. I think that was the best part-being able to cruise our cars. You young'ns cant do that now can ya?
P.S one of my first rides was a red/Black 70 Monte

Well I guess I liked high school, at least enough to decide I wanted to go back and teach social studies, and I'm working on that degree now. Not all about high school is good ,but there are some good times. Often times, you do have to be the good looking, popular kid with a car to have a good time in high school. Is it right? No, but that's how it is. I felt like I could make life better for students than my teachers gave to me. I felt I could teach the social studies in a more interesting manner than 2 of my 3 teachers throughout high school (the third, if I can just match him, I'll consider myself successful), and I felt that I could help students through high schools struggles as well. So I'll be back in 2 years...
College is much better as far as the social environment goes. The picking and bullying is there, but to a much less degree. Sometimes, the people who get picked on are the frat boys and sororiety girls, and not the less popular ones who were usually picked on high school, which is strange to see.

We were taught by my grandfather & his senior citizen friends. Some were prior teachers, and others had degree's from World Experiences.
They were strict, but we loved them.....The older I get, the more I love them for all their help & the love they showed...

We lived on a barrier island and it was to far 2 go to the mainland for school.....Our lunch breaks were spent on the beach & it was a great playground.....
You miss a lot not going to public or private schools I think: like sports & events etc....We just created our own....
Glad 2 read that you are wise enough 2 extract the most from your high school experience...Good Luck...I must fade `out & rest...
Got 2 work later, but I wish I was back in school instead : )

You're right Space, you do miss out on some good things with home-school. But you also miss out on some not-so-nice things too. For example: bullying, gangs, "clicks", metal detectors at the doors, security guards walking around your school, getting up early to have to walk or take a bus to school everyday no matter what the weather is like, pressure to fit in, and so on.
I'm not saying I experienced all of that. But that's part of reality today in some schools Space dude. But hopefully this is all something that will become a thing of the past. Someday schools will be a safe place to learn again.
Sorry for taking this in a negative direction. Just showing that not everything you missed was good.

My two go arounds with college were much better. Thing is - I decided to go, nobody was making me and I paid for it all on my own so I had to make the best of it. Things are different when it's your choice.
