Twitter! In high school, were you the weird kid no one knew what to make of?

Yeah. After leaving at 16, I was a bit of a mess from ages 16 to early 20s. But on the plus side, that was a long time ago now.
> "on the plus side, that was a long time ago now" Mood. I mean I'm sure there are important life lessons I/we learned from this, I just can't help but feel like there are probably better ways to learn those without spending the first 2-3 decades of life traumatised.

Agreed. I think one important thing I learned is that supposed authorities are mostly useless at mediating/preventing conflict and bullying, whether it's teachers/HR/..., and the importance of not putting yourself in a position where you're depending on them to defend you.

Same, but also I feel like I overlearned this lesson and it makes me very reluctant to rely on *anyone* to defend me, which is not actually a good lesson to have learned.
