Middle schoolers and high schoolers are so fucking mean

I remember a girl in middle school did something similar. Called me over to her friends and asked if I'd go out with her. They all laughed when my lonely ass said the expected.

Screw you, Tiffany.

Something that may have been this happened to me in high school. A girl came up to me in the hall between classes and said something along the lines of wanting to ask me out or admit a crush or similar. I gave a confused look, then noticed what I took to be other girls behind her looking at us and giggling.

I told her 'now I get it', that her friends put her up to it. And I left.

I'll never know if I was right, or if they were giggling because they were teenagers and she finally got the courage, or if they were even her friends.
For my own benefit I have chosen to believe I was right at the time.

In middle school, a girl in my class asked me out on a date while all her friends sat in the back and watched, giggling.
I told her to leave me the fuck alone.
During recess, I saw her sitting by herself, crying.
Feels bad, man.

High school?!! That's some grammar school shit.

I recall girls asking me to cosplay and i mostly just was interested in the anime they shared and then i met L from death note when they showed me that and that's probably about when i started realizing i wasn't exactly straight, i feel bad for them though. I really didn't understand anything about my feelings as a kid, I just hope that the future is better for queer kids down the line. I wish i had understood myself soo much earlier, it would have helped avoid soo much pain, and misunderstanding and miscommunication. I didn't realize a lot of girls were into me, but now I do, and while it's not really my fault, I know the pain of one sided romantic attraction. So I still feel really bad. I also might have been able to stay with my first boyfriend for longer if I had understood that one can be romantically attracted to someone without being sexually attracted. Yes, I am asexual.

School wasn't the hard part, it was not understanding i was queer and I never fit any of the things people said were valid, that part is what made school hard for me. Along with my mental differences as well.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person on Lemmy that didn't hate high school. Maybe I'm just a crazy person, but I generally got along with most people.
