KRISTEN'S BOARD
KB - a better class of pervert

Well Behaved Lady · **on:** August 29, 2014, 10:18:42 AM

I was never academically minded in school. I knew things, I took it all in, I just was never very forthright and my teachers obviously just thought I was stupid and concentrated on the other girls in my class. I wasn't alone in this.

I watched a programme last night and it made me realise how much I'd missed out on in school, I didn't fail my history exams by any means, I just never took it all in.

It's given me a kick to look back at what I so apparently missed about this part of history that struck home last night.

It's never to late to learn

Looking back, I now realize the subjects I had the toughest times in are the ones I can still remember to this day.

Math....boy did I ever miss out on math. I always passed, barely.

And I don't remember it to this day and I still never want to learn it.

I didn't miss out on any of the required subjects. I took it all in and was an excellent student. English was probably my worst subject.
What I missed out on in high school was the people, my classmates. I was a follower. My best friend was a leader, class president, respected by many. Where he was, I followed. He was the talker, I was quiet. My girlfriend went to another school, so I never really tried to get to know many of the girls. Because of those reasons, I didn't reach out to others. It was at our 5th year reunion that I showed up and realized I hardly knew anyone.

LOL Ditto. Math was like Chinese to me. In fact, Chinese, well, Mandarin would probably have been easier for me! Gimme languages, history, geography, anything! As long as it's not math.

I apparently missed out on being a wild, rebellious teen. Kept my head down, got good grades...I'm not sure I've ever been grounded. Didn't have a sip of alcohol til I was 21. Still, it's been a good life and I don't really regret it.

I was very shy in grade school and high school. To say I was naive would be an understatement. I had one girlfriend starting in 10th grade who was a year older than me and I don't think we ever kissed. When she left for college, she found someone else and I never heard from her again. Tough to be a jilted senior. Lonely. I should have brushed myself off and start to date again, but didn't. I missed that and didn't date until I graduated from high school and went off to college myself.

I'm not sure if I missed out or not (maybe so).
I was involved with horses for most of my childhood (my mom taught me to ride at age six). During high school I was still involved with horses and (I guess) I missed out on the normal HS Social Life. (My social circle's were completely different than the friends that I had at HS).

Love,

I was in about the 8th grade and in the boy scouts. Madison Wisconsin. our spring project was to sell fertilizer to pay for a 21 day canoe trip thru the lakes in Canada.

sold all my fertilizer, then decided not to go. one of my first decisions, one of the few I regret.

Like many others here, math was my sore spot. Algebra total fail. Had to write a short bio for our 50th Reunion this past June. At the end I wrote: "In the past 50 years, I can't remember one instance where I ever needed algebra."

That got some good comments from others in the class. The husband of one, who is a math expert of some kind, said he agreed and the only time he's used algebra is helping the kids with homework.

Apparently my high school graduating class had several after "parties" none of which I remember. lol.. and it seems I am not the only one.

So I wasn't the only one not invited.

Nice to know.

(A) How can I know what I missed out on since I obviously missed out on it. So I will always miss out on it, have always been missing out on it, and will continue to miss out on it to infinity.

(B) Meanwhile, back on the ranch, I know I have focused on the unattainable long and hard so I have missed the wonderful things that were within my reach on numerous occasions.

if A = < > B go to A

The wheels on the bus go round and round......

is that the way of it? I recently was asked to join a class group. OMG.. these people still form groups within the group. Your either in or your not. I think I am better of being in the "not" group.

I'm 47, The fact that there are still groups from school just blow me away.

LOL...I'm 31 and going to a class reunion is still a sight to behold.
For some unknown reason (even though we graduated ages ago), The jocks all gather at one table, The cheerleaders at another, The overachieving honors students at another. It's like stepping backswards in time and standing in my HS cafeteria before we all graduated, and whats worse is that the topic's haven't changed at all. I'd like to think I've moved past that great football game we had as seniors or that fantastic basketball game. It's scary to think that people live in the past and that all they talk about when they get together at reunions, what happened to the rest of their lives, they must have done "something" between ages 18 and 31.

Love,
Liz

yes, the worst fate of all would be to wake up when you were 65 and realize you died when you were 25.

this is not a test run, CTL alt Delete does not apply.

I was a deans list student in mental health admin. until I realized I was just there to try to figure out what ever about myself... college was about sex and pot and something an old GF said when I refused to do her again after we were done .. she said there is an old jewish curse > when you are old you will remember the things you didn't do and forget the things you did.
