Lol! Your comment was so long @tts actually thought it was a post and made a TTS out of it!
Yeah, it's weird how at one point classes in school could be divided into groups - mainly the popular jocks and the quiet innocent kids (nerds). The jocks were all on about sports and drinking at someone's place on weekends (and probably desperately trying to hook up with eachother) while the silent kids.. were just eh silent and put their time and thoughts into studying and didn't drink or do anything wild.
Some of the jocks also put effort into studying, so they became teachers pets really easilly even outside of P.E class.
And I was kind of inbetween. Bad at sports, not interested in sports, not too into studying hard, got okay grades, wanted to hang out with all kinds of people but wasn't accepted by the jocks, had just 2-3 friends from the silent folk (not that I'm not grateful for them but just the punk in me wanted to do something fun and crazy from time to time and they weren't the kind of people who would).
Plus I was bullied (verbally / mentally) at my first school by kids older than me, then changed schools after yr 7 and was bullied by younger kids (wtf?) until I got fed up with everyone and everything in that town and moved to capital city when I was 17. (Took my last year in an adults high school with no pause inbetween, no bullying there because most of the students were adults just trying to get their high school graduated).
Nowadays if I stumble upon someone's profile I knew from that town or school on any social media or see them somewhere in person, I just cringe and don't want anything to do with them.
