CMV: The “Highschool” experience is a illusion

Everybody talks about how high schools are going to be some of your best years of your life and you’ll learn so much about yourself there. Well it isn’t, also isn’t it kinda ironic people say the same thing when you go college? 

While I get it, high school is what you make of it, it truly isn’t anything special that you aren’t going to do any other time of your younger life. Party? You can do it in college/ anywhere else. Sports? You can do that anywhere? Clubs? You can do that in college or anywhere else. The only thing I could potentially see going for HS Is senior prom. But that’s a big joke, I have to pay for something really nice I’m only going to wear maybe once or twice in a lifetime to go I guess party with friends? What’s the fucking point? I know I’m not going to remember this night. It’s completely ridiculous. High school is way to overhyped and I feel the complete opposite of how everyone portrays it.

High school is unique because it's basically the only period in your life that you'll have access to some of the rights and privileges of an adult, but you're still a minor and only very nominally responsible as an adult, basically the only time in your life people are going to expect you to be a bit of a troublemaker and make some mistakes, once you're out of HS that privilege rapidly falls away.

The other thing I'd say is HS/college are unique in that your peers are also coming into their own as adults. While it's true people transform and grow their entire lives, the foundation of who you are as an adult will be the pillars you build in those years. Your relationships during this time, platonic and romantic, will color your perspective on relationships to some extent for a large period of your life. You're also starting to have a relationship closer to an equal than a subordinate with adults and how you go on to treat them will play into how you treat your elders/authority later in life. Stuff like that.

It's a very unique time.
