Do you think high school never ends?

[Alora]

Had the song "High School Never Ends" by Bowling for Soup in my head and got to thinking... I'd have to agree. Maybe not to the same extent as high school... but look at the world of celebrities (mostly the paparazzi) and the 'fashionable people' out there. They all care about who's with who, who's lookin' good, who's messing up, etc...

Anyone else feel this way? (if you're not familiar with the song, here's a link to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrxI_euTX4A&ob=av2n )

It really does not.

the only diffrence is there is a location change(s).

 

[dex-dex]

stupid double post.

 

[movienut]

The biggest difference is you can chose who to be exposed to and which standards to adhere to. That makes a lot of difference in how easy it is to handle.

 

[The Shade]

Yes, high school ends. Roughly the same time you leave and go to college and/or university.

Well, that was easy!

I rarely elope with people who care about those things, so it seems that highschool has already ended for me.

 

[Koroviev]

No, high school ends. The people in college are pretty chill, and the professors actually bother to critique your work.

 

[4484448444844484]

Nope; I'm in college now. It's completely different.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I was a highschool graduating class of one, so all the stupid pointless crap that impedes the ostensible purpose of education? I never had to put up with any of that nonsense. And I can readily attest that for the most part, people outside of highschool don't care about that highschool crap either.

 

[MindBullets]

I wouldn't agree that it never ends, since a lot of things do change. Just that a significant factor remains even after it does end:

Douchebags exist.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I would say college is completely different. Sure you have the same bullshit going on in parts, but it's much easier to ignore them or tell them to go fuck themselves without recourse.

It's fantastic.

 

[WingedIncubus]

It ends when you graduate from High School.

It's not because phenomena and social hierarchies you subjectively observed at High School exist in real life, that High School never ends. It does, everything changed as soon as I left High School 15 years ago. Just accept that High School is a microcosm of his own, populated by hormone-laded, puberty-hitting teenagers who seldom know any better.

Just let me answer your question by posting this song for you:

Spoiler

Says it all.

 

[Gaz6231]

Literally; no. Metaphorically, it's backwards to assume that high school continues into the outside world, the truth is that high school is a condensed, exaggerated form of the outside world.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Yeah, I think it does. All the uncool kids go to university and get great jobs; the idiots work in McD's and you get to laugh at all the twats who picked on you, because you've gone to a high class uni and they're stuck at the University of Rochdale (if that).

You have better luck with girls too. Because you meet more people, you're more likelyto meet someone who likes you. Makes sense.

 

[feeback06]

oh it ended for me, right about the time I got my diploma and walked off the stage.

 

[dmase]

No high school ends, its whether you change or not. The way you acted in highschool doesn't have to dictate who you are after you get out. Thats not to say you have to give up videogames to be part of the "in" crowd, its more of a way of expressing yourself to other people and going out on a limb to find people beyond your immediate group. I'm two years out of highschool and i still feel like a kid, while your in high school you definitely are. your about a 1/4th through your life so you still have 2/4th's to be that person you wanna be before you get to far over the hill.

 

[newfoundsky]

Hmmm. Is it just my high school or are there not cliques anywhere anymore? I've had a pretty normal education, never gotten in a fight, never been bullied or harassed because I was dating someone's ex-girlfriend. . .

So High school, for me, will probably never end. Because it's kind of like how actual people behave in the actual world around here.

However, I disagree with Jack Black being the class clown. That would require him being truly funny.

If it makes you feel better to believe that myth, good for you. Because reality is harsher than you believe, and most nerd losers in high school, remain losers in the rest of their lives, good job or not.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

High School definitely ended for me.

In High School I was a a self-conscious loner who rarely spoke or spent time with my fellow students.

Now I'm a happy, self-confident fella who loves talking with people and doing crazy activities in public.


High School ends when you let it end. I let mine end the first day of University. Never looked back.
