Pot dealer/psp modder/punk rocker/skater who grew up in the same bad neighborhood I ended out going to school in a but after my family moved made high school a pretty chill time for me. Jr High was rough but the last 3 years kinda ruled, not in a I peaked in high school way, it was just pretty drama free compared to what I was expecting and what other people dealt with. I just skated, went to shows, sometimes missed months cause I was playing in punk bands and going on tour and my parents god bless em would call in my absences as long as I kept passing and playing in bands and skating with grown ass adults made something click where I realized my teachers are also just regular people and it turns out you can just talk to them one on one and make some deals. I could barely every show up and just get a printout of the curriculum for the class and all the tests at once and then just have them around to consult when needed. For shit I was bad at I totally still had to show up to class and wouldn't have passed otherwise but for stuff like English or social studies or whatever I was punching over my weight it was pretty easy to get accommodations. Especially cause it made me easy to grade cause I was passing shit in months ahead. I just wanted to be able to keep skipping school and taking trips to other towns to play shows and skateboard. I would not have been this good academically if it weren't for that, staying on top of my school shit meant I could play ear splitting noise and do absurd amounts of drugs at a young age.

doggirl-happy Sounds like you have had an exciting time during school. The kind of life I dreamt about having back then.

Ngl, I was nice. I then just did the punk rock stuff minus the school stuff and that was even more fun but I maybe should have kept the balance I had going instead of moetgaging my future. But based on what I've heard the people I went to school with who did try hard are mostly in the same place as me but with student loan debts, so I guess I did fine. I am for sure going to die at leat 20 years earlier than I would have otherwise and am picked up problems that are keeping thst steady and increasing that number. I'm getting there but it'd genuinely just not as fun

Beats living a boring life plus that is sort of how it goes for a lot of people who took the straight road and it is hard to predict how things could have gone with different choices. I don't really know many doing great despite taking the path they were told or expected to take. Most people I knew are just getting by or doing awful except for maybe but I wouldn't really know but yeah being in good physical and mental health is definitely something one would want and debt is a constant drain on your mind. I am glad you are getting where you want to be though :)
