I remember crystal-clear my Senior Week, some 30+ years ago. They made it absolutely explicit that nobody had officially graduated until after the Ceremony-- what they gave us onstage was an empty envelope. If you didn't turn in your cap and gown, no diploma. Any unapproved behavior, no diploma. There were planned and scheduled days of rebellion- Ditch Day, Senior Picnic, the official all night Senior Party, but it was their last chance to opress us, and they were about as subtle as a Nazi SS Division.

Guess I should be glad we got to beachball when we did, felt great too, one last hurrah and all that...

Don't worry about it. High School is just one of many phases of your life. An important one, no doubt, but no the be-all-end-all of it.
And don't concern yourself with what you have or haven't done there. It's just High School. Sure, to some folks that's everything - but the LAST thing you want to be is one of those people who peak in HS. The people for whom those really were the best days of their lives.... don't really have much to brag about.

Heck, I won't even go to the darn HS reunions. I kept my nose in a book or I was in the library (pre internet).
Went to college, was still adrift so I went into the peacetime Army of the 1980's. Got a hubby, got out of the Army, had a beautiful daughter, got divorced and 31 years after graduating I could careless about high school.
Some advice, if you don't want to go to college, try the community college system. My daughter is there now. She found her niche and is close to getting a Web Design certificate and has started the Cisco Networking course.
It's half the price of regular college and you can work and go to school at the same time. The best bargain in higher educations out there.

See that's what i plan to do, go to community college, then when the two years is over, wither go to a four year, or a speciality college. Or to a specialty college, which will get all of the remedial shit out of the way, then i can focus on the job i'll have. But one thing i really wish i could have done during school was have a girlfriend. I mean even if it ended horrably, i'd still have taht experience to draw back on. But like someone here said earlier, those who are in the backround usually end up better in life then those ythat hit their peak in HS. Plus i'd love to get a real good job, and go to the HS reunions, and find all of the "Popular" kids living like slobs, and all the "Pretty girls" Looking like boluggah wailes. And all the sports stars with beer bellies. And i, i am now the good looking guy, with a good looking girl, and lots of money, and lots of friends. But still, that's speculation, life is life, and that's it. But there is one girl i'd have liked to go out with, man is she hot, and not the "Beautiful, end al be all" hot either, nice personality, and great stares. But she has a boyfriend, and i'm not a dick like that, i won't drive a wedge in between them, that's just wrong.
