I've never heard of HS as "the best years of your life". I've only heard of college referred to that way. IMO it's wrong to set kids up to think that their best years will be over by 22, and it's downhill from there. That's ridiculous. Every era in your life is potentially the best, or one of the best. It all depends on what you make o it.

I guess. But seeing as how "the high-school dynamic" continues, as others have said here, I question how much I have to look forward to. I've already failed the high school dynamic, obviously, so I really don't want 50 more years of this in the workplace too, plus however many years it continues beyond that.

But the good part is that you aren't doomed to remain in the role you were assigned in high school. The same people exist out there, but you get to choose how you will react to them.
