because most writers are autistic turbo nerds

They're only "the most fun years" to people with absolutely shitty and stagnant adult lives.


Personally, I had some fun in highschool, but I'm glad I dropped out midway. I gained more in those two years than I ever would have had I stayed.

teenagers are winy brats who want their victim complexes validated. Even if your teenage years are bad, they will eventually end and you'll move on with your life. Adult life doesn't end until you die.

Pretty much everything you can "do" in HS is the standard order in college. Get with the program.

I always had the opposite impression. Seems like most writers portray high school as a nearly magical period of self discovery, where they get into quirky, memorable experiences. Such as drama unfolding at parties, or making out with girls during a camping trip, or whatever. To me high school was mostly a bore.

two gays spotted same-fagging

I don't get it either, I was kinda a loser in high school but I honestly didn't hate it

That didn't start till college

I have a great aversion to rigmarole and the presence of humans so high school was the equivalent to the ninth circle of Hell. Never had friends in my life, though, I had a neglectful family as well which balanced things out. Being alone makes me fond of living.

>why do so many works of eastern young adult animation portray the MC's high school years as the best time in their life, there isn't anything inherently good about them. if anything they are the worst years of your life when you could probably have the most suffering with the least reward.
