Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about high school, mainly because my 10 year high school reunion was last weekend. Gosh I still can’t believe it! Honestly the fact that it was 10 years since we graduated, and longer since I was actually in high school, just blows my mind. I really don’t feel like it was that long ago. I know some people think back on high school with the worst memories. They felt bullied, insecure, and even lonely. While I can definitely connect with some of those feelings, I’m lucky that I wasn’t bullied at my high school. Teased, yes, but bullied no. And actually no one was. Our class seemed a little different. With  280 in our graduating class there were definitely groups, but it wasn’t cliquey. Mostly everyone had a few classes together so we all got to know mostly everyone. Maybe not on a bff status but on a “I know you. You’re so-and-so” status. Since we went to a Catholic school we had a lot of programing on kindness and tolerance. I think this was another reason why mostly everyone got along. This led to me not having a terrible high school experience, although of course it wan’t perfect.
