"No one ever tells you how completely f***ed up high school can be, or maybe they do, but I wasn't listening. Seriously though, whose bright idea was it to put a thousand something hormonal teenagers under one roof, five days a week? The teachers don't give a crap what happens to you after the bell rings. Your parents only see what your report card shows them. The only way to socialize is by going to parties where everyone is either doing drugs, drinking or having sex! Sometimes, well most of the time all three! Your "friends" only like you until something better comes along... If you're lucky you might just make it out of there unnoticed."
