Lbybug Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i didn't get skeletons til AFTER high school... when i was in highschool i was the mia maids president...then the laurel president...i didn't have many friends in high school and was super shy (amazing that i'm on the planning committee for my high school reunion) when i was in high school i was a teachers pet, even though i didn't live up to my potential. when i was in high school i was the one in seminary who knew all the answers (quite different from today). when i was in high school i spoke at my seminary graduation. when i was in high school i spent my afternoons tutoring elementary kids and running a homework club at the school my mom worked at. hmm...what else...

Maxel Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 When I was in high school (a whole 3 years ago!) I was a big emotional support to my friends. A lot of people would come talk to me about their problems, and I would help them work it all out. Once, one of my friends told me she tried to commit suicide, and I decided to tell a teacher. That friend's parents moved back where they had come from because of it. And, she was one of the popular kids, so I kind of got a stigma as a tattle-tale after that. Senior year I failed all my classes b/c I was working full-time at the family daycare and had to take classes online. Me + internet = no productive work. I finally decided to get my GED and placed in the 96th percentile of my graduating class. Let's see... there was the time I stayed out 2 hours past my curfew (12:00) on New Year's Eve without calling home... I was grounded for a long, long time. I was a good kid, for the most part. Most of my failings were in secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palerider Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 We would go outside during Sacrament meeting in the evening....yes, the church use to have Sunday School in the morning and Sacrament meeting in the evening, they changed to the current schedule we all use now back in 1980, anyway....we would go outside and look for cars with the window down or unlocked and a manual shift and move them across the lot. We would then stand outside and listen to the comments....LOL!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleDrew Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I was a very different person back then. Pageant queen, cheerleader. All that stuff. I was also incredibly militant about grades. Everything had to be perfect, all the time. Now, i'm more like "meh" about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 In trig I was throwing paper balls into my mug in the corner of the room from my desk in the last few minutes of class. I went and picked up the paper balls then walked back to my desk and my teacher asked me to come to him. He grabbed my mug and put it in his desk drawer and I said, "Give me my mug back" and he said, "No." So I picked up his mug and walked back to my desk. He was really angry right away and said, "Give me my cup back" to which I replied, "Give me mine back first and then I'll give you yours back." He threatened to give me detention and send me to the office and all that but I was firm and when my buddy said, "Just give it back to him you don't want to get in trouble" I was like, "Look he started it-he took my mug and got into this power struggle and for what?" So I punched the teacher in his mouth and broke his tooth (Not really-that's not how it ended but I've never really been that good at following directions) hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxz72 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 There was a new girl in our ward (what's up Cherie) who asked, with complete and utter amazement on her first day of school, if there was anybody I didn't know there. We were walking out to another part of the school called Orchard from the main campus and people stopped me the whole way. To say I was popular is a little bit of an understatement. lol :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
