What, exactly, is so bad about high school? I didn’t exactly have the best time. But I wouldn’t describe it as “hell”. My parents ripped me from all the friends I had since 1yo and went to school with my whole life and started in a new high school where I didn’t know anyone. You make friends, hang out, join clubs or sports, fill your time with friends and fun. If all you do is go to class and go home, you’re missing out on a lot of what high school is supposed to be.
