Younger users of GAG: How was your high school experience?

[MCheetah]

Back in the pre-woke and pre-social media era (let's just say, before 2007), high school typically sucked for most people and everyone had their own cliques and social castes they had to fit it. However, things also weren't as sanitized, censored, and lame, as they are now. You actually had more individualism and freedom to do what you wanted, even if it meant a cost to your social status.

In modern high schools; this mostly still seems to be the case; it's just under a veneer of fake 'acceptance and inclusion.' The "cool kids" are now the lame ones who used to get called losers, because they pretend to be PC and woke and whatnot; which is what corporations and the political left wants them to be as "Influencers." I personally think the modern era of hyper political correctness is bad for students and just creates a generation of sheep and TikTokkers.

So GAG users between 16 and 22, how was your modern-day high school experience? Good, bad, or neutral?

I liked high school. I think high school nowadays is better for students than it used to be.

I feel indifferent to high school. Some things are different; some things stayed the same.

I hated high school. I think high school nowadays still sucks for most students, just like it did in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.

High school and school in general sucks because most of the time you're taught by people as dumb, if not dumber, than the students. So much useless information. Education and learning is good, but the way school does it just sucks. The woke stuff in school nowadays is also terrible, but school has always sucked.

Best school experience

Wasn't that great. I made friends, I lost friends, it kind of balanced itself out. Kids today though I could imagine embarrassing things that happened back then and think well at least there wasn't a facebook or twitter like today for everyone to never let you live it down.

I liked high school, but I am glad I graduated shortly before the current wave of 'woke' stuff began. I can't imagine liking it today. The one thing I have "missed" is that I wish I found teenage love.

I also long to have been born in a different generation, say in the 1950s or 60s. Life would have been an improvement in a lot of aspects IMHO.
