I hated high school itself, but my high school years were certainly the best time of my life. That's because I live in southwestern Pennsylvania though, and everyone around here turns into a lame ******* pretty much immediately upon entering adulthood. I'm only 36, and numerous people who I went to school with are now grandparents. One girl who I went to school with (who was actually very pretty and popular back then) became a grandmother at twenty eight years old.

Grandparenthood is one of the best times of life. Most don't experience it until at least their forties. But at 28?
My school was very tough (grade-wise) and cliqueish. Most of the kids had been to elementary and junior high together, and I came in brand new for 9th grade after we moved to the area. I was not a jock, I was not preppy, I was not a skater, I was not a nerd. As a result, I only had a couple friends and just generally didn't have a good time. My grades suffered because I went from a super-easy school in California to one of the toughest in the country in NoVA (at the time - it has slipped in the rankings in the past few years). As a result my self-esteem plummeted. I wasn't bullied - I was just a Nobody. Just not a good time, in general.
I think that was a good time in your life though because if you kept going to easy schools, you never would have been able to handle college.
Neither high school nor college were good years. I was too busy maintaining decent grades and working part time to scrape by financially.
