Well that's good, I'm far too quiet for my own liking

I'm still really close with a few school friends but yeah, I don't talk to the large majority anymore :laugh:

I thought I was okay until people questioned me in like the final week and i was like 'yes i'm straight' http://i.imgur.com/ZoaS3.gif

ain't no narrow minded ***** poaching my out the closet

Are you out now though?

I miss it, I left five years ago and I still stay in touch with some.

I can count on one hand the amount of people I kept in contact with since leaving school. I do still get nostalgic and miss it though.

I can't stand the thought of going back. A vile place.

I was just too good for it!

I had a bloody miserable time at school and I have never looked back on it with nostalgia. I have one friend from school I still keep in contact with but that's all, the rest of them can do one.

Give it a year or so... You will miss the school days. Even now at 23 I'm starting to reunite with friends from school days and we all can spend hours just looking back at those days. Uni was definitely the one where I pretty much just don't talk to anyone again bar two people and most of my friends were just people I went out with for the sake of it and worked on essays.

A year, that's what made it easy to see

I only keep in touch with the people I like from school. I definitely don't miss it

Until recently, School was the worst years of my life.

I had to deal with bullies, Teachers who could be mean and unfair to the whole class in both Primary and Secondry School.

I also had to deal with Religion being shoved down my throat, getting detention for not wanting to climb (like that's a required thing in everyone's day to day life anyway) and of course being punished for what someone else did was a common occurrence just because my face didn't fit as much as theirs.

And don't even get me started on how bullies can get away with beating up pregnant Teachers, which has happened quite a few times in Birmingham Schools in particular.

And School encourages hive minded thinking, I was an outcast in my School's for not following trends and supporting "the right" Football teams.

Imo I think that it's up to the parents to home school their children instead of wasting money on their drug addictions, alcohol addictions, or just sheer indifference to their child.

Your judgemental behaviour there is not my type of person at all when I was at School, I wouldn't have liked you.:laugh:

I left school in 1998.

I hated school. Left with no qualifications. But in 2002 I went to night school. Did three A levels and then went into writing for a newspaper and wrote a few books.

I now run my own hair care business from home! :D :p
