OP, school is where the idiots flourish, chances are if you are popular in school then you have hit your peek early, most people who i went to school with who were considered cool are now working minimum wage and are badly educated and have lost their looks.

School is such a small part of your life, I was a dork at school, but now I am having a wonderful time, trust me your twenties kick ass

My life turned around when my mother died after being ill for about 6 months.
After that period a few major semi-related events occured that really messed up my mourning process. I can't say it made my life easier till this day.

The day I picked up a guitar for the first time. Damn that was an awesome day.

Oh, and also the time I caught my girlfriend fucking some dude in our bed. I got home from work early. She didn't expect me to be home early....Yep. I'll never trust another person like I trusted her. I'll surely never make the mistake of dating again.
That's unfortunate. What did you do wrong?

Oh, and I suppose my life-changing event was finding out that I have Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD.

I have went through 2 major life changes.

I was a big wimp in primary school, so i was beat up A LOT! But i was always told i was better than them. so i subconsciously developed the idea that i am better than everyone who tries to say anything against me or threatens me etc.

In high school, i decided i wanted something different. I built a cold shell around me heart, making me impervios to any insults etc. the cold shell also locked away the gradually building anger and hatered inside me. I built myself a reputation that i wasn't to be messed with, coz for some reason i really filled out when i hit puberty, in fact i have stretch marks on my arms coz my muscles suddenly grew lol.

anyway, my heartless shell was reinforced by me and my friends always insulting and being mean to each other, all in good humour, and thats all i knew. Then in 3rd year i met this girl in my computing class, who was friendly to me and not constantly insulting. So i wasn't used to that at all, so my cold shell shattered. Suddenly the suppressed emotion of 5 years of primary and 2 years of high school hit me all at once... So because of that nice act by one innocent girl who i subsequently got very protective etc i have become a maelstrom of hate and anger, i feed on conflict, in a way im almost like Darth Nihlus from KotOR 2. So now its impossible for me to rebuilt my shell and lock all emotion out, and i fear that my hate will eventually consume me. I consider myself 'too human', for i seem to exemplify humanities emotion tenfold. Most ppl just assume i over exagerate, but i unfortunately don't...

just as a point of interest dude, why didn't you just flog the fuck otta this guy? i would'a the second i heard what he did to your friend.

life changing moment for me, being an absolute dick teen thinking i was untouchable, then getting jumped by 4 blokes and having the living shit kicked out of me=] BIG eye opener
I don't like fighting. I'm a rather big guy, can damage someone pretty well, but I hate hurting another person.
yeah, im the same. my friends ask me why i never fight the ppl i hate, but thats coz regardless of how much i kick ass, they will come back with more than i can take.

Something that happened to me when I was 5 really screwed me up, and it's going to be imprinted on my brain for the rest of my life. It's changed my life in so many ways, most of them being for the worse, I don't think I'll ever forget it. It's too personal to actually explain, but it's really affected me in a bad way.

Also, being a rampantly horny teenager made me throw myself into something that changed my perspective on sex and relationships. I'm still a virgin, but I came so close to having an opportunity to lose it that it made me take a step back and look at life differently. It wouldn't have meant anything if I'd done it then, it would have been pointless sex, and though I regret getting myself into that situation in the first place, I'm glad that it happened, because otherwise I'd be like the rest of the arse-holes I know who just think of girls as something to stick their dongs in.

Edit: Also, falling for my best female friend over and over again built me up and made me stronger. I was only ever disappointed, and she greatly improved my ability to get over people I had crushes on or whatever. She still feels guilty for putting me through all that hurt, but I don't resent her for it at all, I actually thank her, because if I hadn't had her to constantly beat me down, I'd still be a soft-ass ***** wanting to die every time a potential relationship didn't work out the way I wanted it to.

When I first attemded a forum meetup of the greatest forum on the net and met all the wonderful people there, over 5 years ago. Now so many of them are my friends.

Also, meeting my soulmate through the same forum. She changed my life a lot, though for various long and complicated reasons never became my girlfriend. And I couldn't care less.

And of course, somewhat related to the above, leaving the country.

I was forced to face up to my own mortality. For the second time. It... affects you, more than a little bit.
A minor skiing fall led to me falling off a large cliff. I landed in the only patch of snow in a several yard radius. 1 foot to the left or right, and I'd have landed on a rocky plateau, and probably not have been quite so easily capable of moving and/or breathing today.
It pops up in dreams occasionally, and I feel a little uncomfortable around anything involving risk nowadays. On the other hand, I'm also a lot more pro-active when it comes to seeing people or going places, because I'm now aware of how easily accidents can happen.

Getting dumped by the girl I loved. How melancholy...

Don't worry, I wont whine, I'm well over it now, but it changed my life so much more than falling in love in the first place. It made me realise that real life isn't all fairytales and rainbows, which, although tore me apart back then, has helped me so much in recent years. Yes, I've become more cynical, but I don't care. If it wasn't for getting dumped, I probably would have buckled under a lot of the pressures I've been through.

So, I guess, I should thank her.
I was recently dumped by the girl I loved as well. She stopped me from cutting myself and wallowing in self-hate. She dumped me for her ex-boyfriend, who she now claims she's loved all along....reading that along with my story, I say my life sucks, but I feel for everyone here more than I do for myself.

For me, travelling round Australia for a year.
It gave me so much drive and motivation for life, something I was really lacking before.

I'm gonna go ahead and be wierd, and say "Love Hina" (yeah, the anime).

It turned me in a complete oppisite direction of where i was headed. I can't explain it, but it made me interested in cooking, motivated me to work out, inspired me to study hard, etc...

I'm a completely new person after i watched it to end, and I can't explain why.

The one thing that completely refuckulated the way I look at life, the universe, and everything was when I realized that we have zero control of our own choices. They are made before we make them. I refuse to give away the reasoning behind my realization because I do not wish to ignite this logic bomb on anyone.
