Great post! I hated high school and I remember going to an assembly where one of the teachers got up to speak and told all us--a bunch of miserable high school kids--to remember and cherish these days because *they are going to be the BEST days of your lives.* I thought holy shit, why don't they just hand out cyanide capsules, because if this is as good as it gets, kill me now. That was a really demented thing to tell a bunch of kids who didn't plan on peaking in high school. Luckily, I had other people in my life, including my parents, who were able to give me perspective about where the low-stakes drama of high school and those awful feelings fit into the big picture. It turns out, the best days are ahead :-)
Very interesting! Haven't heard of this show before. Will check it out.
