I got through it. Some was great and some was time I could have spent better. Actually a lot of sports was time I could have spent better. I was only really into basketball, but I went balls to the wall in all of them...though it only got me a lot of time "on the bench". Football was not really my game. I wasn't built for a lineman...and nobody thought I could be a back. I did OK in baseball. I was a good outfielder. I could snag them out of the air when they looked like "homers"...(lol). But, I couldn't hit worth a damn. I had a lot of good teachers and many classes I got a lot from...and had many great friends I still stay in touch with. What can you say? It was adolescence, which is a kind of disease you have to go through, like a really long period of measles or chickenpox. The acne was a real bummer.

Yes ... important and necessary.

I got through it with academic honors and good credentials to start a career. Other than that, forget it. I was socially ostracized. Failed to be made captain of two teams simply because of unpopularity. Despised having to live with a roommate. +4

It is important so you can continue your studies. Enjoy the time there with your friends, they will stick in your memory. Cause at college things will change.

Even though I was better than an average student, I never really enjoyed attending the rigorously structured learning of the American school system. I think I actually learned more once I was out and could read and study things that were of actual interest to me. Graduation one one of the happiest days of my life.

The public schools, when I was there, pre 1974, were quite simply institutionalized sadism.

Sure. That is where you learn how to think. Priceless return on your investment of time. :)

Yep. To quote Terry Pratchett from his Discworld book "Moving Pictures": "Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam. Many worthwhile careers in the street- cleansing, fruit-picking and subway-guitar-playing industries have been founded on a lack of understanding of this simple fact." Knuckle down and study, dude!
