Do you think high school never ends?

[Alora]

Had the song "High School Never Ends" by Bowling for Soup in my head and got to thinking... I'd have to agree. Maybe not to the same extent as high school... but look at the world of celebrities (mostly the paparazzi) and the 'fashionable people' out there. They all care about who's with who, who's lookin' good, who's messing up, etc...

Anyone else feel this way? (if you're not familiar with the song, here's a link to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrxI_euTX4A&ob=av2n )

It really does not.

the only diffrence is there is a location change(s).

stupid double post.

 

[movienut]

The biggest difference is you can chose who to be exposed to and which standards to adhere to. That makes a lot of difference in how easy it is to handle.

 

[The Shade]

Yes, high school ends. Roughly the same time you leave and go to college and/or university.

Well, that was easy!

I rarely elope with people who care about those things, so it seems that highschool has already ended for me.

 

[Koroviev]

No, high school ends. The people in college are pretty chill, and the professors actually bother to critique your work.

 

[Ldude893]

Everything ends sooner or later. High School's just another phase in life that's followed by College/University.

Nope; I'm in college now. It's completely different.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I was a highschool graduating class of one, so all the stupid pointless crap that impedes the ostensible purpose of education? I never had to put up with any of that nonsense. And I can readily attest that for the most part, people outside of highschool don't care about that highschool crap either.

 

[MindBullets]

I wouldn't agree that it never ends, since a lot of things do change. Just that a significant factor remains even after it does end:

Douchebags exist.

 

[Outright Villainy]

I would say college is completely different. Sure you have the same bullshit going on in parts, but it's much easier to ignore them or tell them to go fuck themselves without recourse.

It's fantastic.

 

[WingedIncubus]

It ends when you graduate from High School.

It's not because phenomena and social hierarchies you subjectively observed at High School exist in real life, that High School never ends. It does, everything changed as soon as I left High School 15 years ago. Just accept that High School is a microcosm of his own, populated by hormone-laded, puberty-hitting teenagers who seldom know any better.

Just let me answer your question by posting this song for you:

Spoiler

Says it all.

 

[Gaz6231]

Literally; no. Metaphorically, it's backwards to assume that high school continues into the outside world, the truth is that high school is a condensed, exaggerated form of the outside world.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Yeah, I think it does. All the uncool kids go to university and get great jobs; the idiots work in McD's and you get to laugh at all the twats who picked on you, because you've gone to a high class uni and they're stuck at the University of Rochdale (if that).

You have better luck with girls too. Because you meet more people, you're more likelyto meet someone who likes you. Makes sense.

 

[feeback06]

oh it ended for me, right about the time I got my diploma and walked off the stage.

No high school ends, its whether you change or not. The way you acted in highschool doesn't have to dictate who you are after you get out. Thats not to say you have to give up videogames to be part of the "in" crowd, its more of a way of expressing yourself to other people and going out on a limb to find people beyond your immediate group. I'm two years out of highschool and i still feel like a kid, while your in high school you definitely are. your about a 1/4th through your life so you still have 2/4th's to be that person you wanna be before you get to far over the hill.
