I really enjoyed high school.
But I also went to an all male school so most of the bullshit I see people complain about didn’t exist. When you only have males a fairly harmonious social order forms.

>>24748581
But almost all of my teachers were good and I liked a lot of the material. yah socially it wasnt the best time, but there were upsides as well.

>>24748592

Being generic mediocrity doesn't make you sucessful.
But you can always cope harder.

Fixed you, literal faggot

>>24748608
Were you the top whore or everyone's fuckhole?

>>24748630
Not really, the Chads had venues for sexual exploration outside of school and the incels were incels, same as it ever was. But in adult life in mixed gender environments I see far more clownery. You get performative bullshit, toxic social pyramids, mate guarding, status hyper vigilance. Especially in college, later in adulthood people chill out but I still prefer all male workplaces. There’s a good reason the Freemasons ban women.

He didn't like being a teenager because instead of being around elementary school girls he's around gross teenagers.

Fuck him!

Grades 6-12 are an in intentional trauma matrix. Fuck high school and fuck 2/3rds of the shit heads you have to deal with

>>24748581
Funny, growing up I was surprised to realize that you never really leave high school. Adult life is all the same popularity contests, cliques, gossip, bullying and attention seeking that high school life is characterized by. Every day I see grown ass men, some in their 40s and 50s, acting like teenage schoolgirls.
The only differences are that you have more money, more responsibilities, and no teachers to run to when things start going horribly wrong. And as far as I'm concerned having a job is less awful than having to study for exams

>>24748581
Not being over school in either direction is a sign of a maladjusted loser. If you're still seething over it as an adult, you're as cucked as those who peaked in high school.

You know this from personal experience right?

My biggest problem with high school was being treated like a child and not having any freedom. I think back to gym class and after-school sports and how we used to just sit on the floor as the teacher/coach stood and talked to us; that shit was so demeaning in retrospect, why couldn't we just stand and maintain our dignity?

>>24749111
>I'm up here and you're down there. Someone will be above you everywhere.

>>24749111
I had the opposite feeling.
I’ve never felt more free because back then consequences didn’t matter. The punishments are trivial, the stakes are almost nonexistent. I would just do and say whatever I wanted because there was no real penalty for doing so. Adult life is much more policed, and there is more pressure.

>>24748608
>When you only have males a fairly harmonious social order forms.
This is fucking bullshit and you know it. All male spaces are no less toxic than all female ones just in a different way.
>t. Also went to all male high school and was in a frat in college

>>24749256
Just don’t be a faggot and hack the banter

>>24748608
>>24749256
>All male spaces are no less toxic than all female ones just in a different way.
yeah that's bullshit. I also went to male only schools until I reached college. in school, when two dudes really had issues with each other, they just physically fight it out and that's it. there is no character assassination attempts, false rumors and lies in the background, which happens in the mixed environment of college over the pettiest shit. I imagine it's even worse in an all female environment. I actually ended up becoming good friends with everyone I had a physical fight except for one person. also school was a lot more fun than college.

>>24748581
That explains why there are almost no teenagers in his books.
I've always wondered why he writes prepubescent kids only, even when the story would benefit from the crew being older. Now I understand why.
>>24749050
>Not using your high school classmates as fodder for horror stories and fetish sex pornography
>Not using their names as handles for posting some niche fetish pornography or just as throwaway account on Reddit or other similar seedy sites

>>24749293
>yeah that's bullshit.
Yeah nah get fucked. I've been the only guy in all female spaces too and both sexes engage in toxic bullshit and petty drama. The only difference is that with guys its more up front while women gossip behind each others backs. Sorry I'm not a closeted homosexual that blindly hates women like most anons. I'm just speaking from my own experience.

I can't even remember what high school was really like anymore.

i liked all of my life even when it was negative desu if you hate a part of your life oyu are probably a faggot

>>24749345
In my experience, as long as you keep yourself isolated from the drama and social dynamics in any majorly female environment, you'll be fine. Some will dislike you but won't do shit because women don't do direct confrontation, a couple will be kind to you in a maternal/sisterly way. Most will just not give you a thought.
If you are the kind of guy who gets mixed with the whole female shadow war you're pretty much fucked tho. Unless you happen to be one of those gay guys who's fluent in that stuff.

>>24749345
>The only difference is that with guys its more up front while women gossip behind each others backs
that makes a big difference you retard. it's a lot easier to work through conflict when it's upfront. that's why it's less toxic.
>I've been the only guy in all female spaces
accusing me of being a homosexual after this admission is incredibly funny. I've met guys who mainly hang around women in college, and what I noticed about them is that they deal with conflict, and just generally behave similarly to women. I imagine you are one of those guys, and that's why project your homosexuality and pussy tendencies unto other guys.

>>24748608
Was it like Bully? Desu my only point of reference for boarding schools are Bully and Dead Poets Society

>>24749456
Oh and Catcher in the Rye? I think Holden was in a boarding school too? I don't rember

>>24749140
Sounds pretty gay.

>>24749456
It wasn’t a boarding school, it was just all male.

>>24749293
Bitchy politicking men who handle their problems like women are everywhere now

>>24749293
Women would not survive in an environment where it would be required to solve grievances directly. Thats why they excel at middle management positions.

>>24748581
I enjoyed some parts of high school, like pseudo-napping in class or doodling so I could process the information better. Teachers didn’t seem to mind because I did well on the tests, but I never did homework because I was more interested in playing video games.
Then I dropped out and got my GED within a month so I could go to college.
I am glad I’m not full of so much angst anymore.

>>24749463
Sounds like paradise then. Lucky bastard.

>>24749468
Audio sensory problems kept me from sleeping in class.

From what I've read in this thread, I think I regret not going to a all boys school. If I have a son maybe I should send him to an all boys school.

>>24749471
What do you mean?

>>24748581
>go to school
>get things thrown at me
>get into a fight
>get suspended
>start skipping school
>get suspended
>start setting fires
>placed in juvie
That was my high school experience in a nutshell growing up in the urban area of a southern state.

>>24748581
But I liked being young and spry.

I liked high school. Everyone respected me because I impressed them with my hacking abilities.

>>24749470
It isnt. Co-ed schools are better.

>>24748581
I suppose that explains why he appears to be obsessed with teenage girls. He was sexually repressed during that timeframe and started visiting Epstein's island to capture the missed opportunities

>>24749464
that's very much true when looking at it generally. I was talking mainly about the environment I was raised where it's only male students and teachers. the Bitchy politicking men you speak of are that way because of female influence.

>>24749474
Don't do that. Youre going to regret going to a state sponsored daycare. Just homeschool your kids.

>>24749521
Nta, thats not true, all boy schools have retarded 'initiations' and gossip. Its not like a physical fight and its simple bygones. Losing a fight publically is humiliating and people tend to hold grudges and become stand off ish. Although nowhere near as catty as girls

>>24749531
did you go to a male only school anon? I'll admit that I might be ignoring the cultural aspect of it, but even then I can't imagine these things being as prevalent in a male only environment as in a female dominant one.

>>24749474
Don't. He'll be socially and sexually stunted for life.

>>24748592
but everyone praises Russian lit here

>>24749587
It’s not that bad
My main social problems as an adult are I don’t really form platonic friendships with women and I’m extremely territorial about my partners. In my country where single sex schools are the norm this is fairly standard, I don’t really get cultures where mixed sex friendships are common and men or women don’t get aggro about it.

>>24749641
>My main social problems as an adult are I don’t really form platonic friendships with women and I’m extremely territorial about my partners
those are not problems. that's just how every well adjusted male is for all of human history. Don't let modern sensibilities turn you into a cuck.

>>24749466
makes sense, middle management is like domestic life, and women have been breed for dominion of the home as man was breed for dominion of the field.

>>24748581
>This gives away that someone is an NPC turbonormalfaggot.
Really? In my experience it is mostly failed normalfags that hate school the most. Or your school was full of blacks.
School was nice. I was invisible, plus I'm pretty sure people were somewhat afraid of me, so I was never bullied. The only people who were bullied were low IQ autists openly obsessed with entry level anime and vidya, and would reference memes IRL.

>>24749639
Underrated.

>>24748581
The only thing about that time period of my life that I enjoyed was smoking weed, but my dad would get pissed at me all the time for smoking weed
So I felt miserable most of the time, having to go to school, having to work my first job, having to go to church, it's like I had no agency with my life and everyone wanted me to do what they wanted me to do. So naturally, I just said fuck it to everything and smoked weed
