Post by Arthur Speaks on Mar 14, 2013 19:17:30 GMT -5
I graduated from junior high last June. When I left that school, I left a mark there. A lot of people in my grade respected me and thought I was a cool person. I had worked hard to gain that popularity, and I hoped these people would remember me in high school.
But I was dead wrong. About four people I've talked to in the past couple months have all changed. They started treating me like a criminal or a stranger, and have severed all their ties with me. In many ways, I feel like they're walking through Hell trying to get rid of me and never have to deal with me again. One of those people was my prom date, and she treated me like a friend almost all the time. I was a little wary of it, but I saw her as a friend too. She even asked me to the prom.
Then just last week, I call her, tell her who I am, and she hangs up. She didn't even recognize my voice anymore.
I feel like there's something personally wrong with me. And somehow, someway, all people give me is hate, ignorance, and prejudice. I just want to hear a person say something other than "People change. In life, you gain some friends and you lose some friends."

While being totally serious, I really dislike threads that are made primarily to meant to sympathize a certain situation. Social status in junior high school should be the least of your worries, people look to take advantage of people who they see as someone who they beneficially gain something off of or only because your friends with someone in their social gathering.
Trying to be popular was in a way was your biggest mistake and you should no long attempt to cloud your judgement with this ideally. How about obtaining a solid education and then some of those low life scums will wonder how did "Arthur Speaks" become so successful? I'm not saying remove all ties from your life, but don't seek out friend's just to be popular when in the long run when the opportunity comes they will do something heinous to you when you originally thought they were your friend. Have limitations with the people you associate yourself with.

Have limitations with the people you associate yourself with. It's not really clouding my judgment. It's just been bothering me for a while. And I've tried to become more of a cautious person, but it hasn't worked. I'm not trying to sympathize anything. I just hate the fact that I let this happen and can't let it go.

You did not let anything happen. It just does. Your not always going to be liked by everyone. They may have never liked you to begin with. It sounds bad but to be honest thats the way it is. Dont worry about popularity or social status. Your in high school. Four years from now you will graduate move on and never see 99% of the people in school anyways.

It's school. You're there for an education, not to be liked by everybody.

But here's some helpful advice to the OP - get over it. If you think this is such a big deal, you're in for quite a shock over the next 4 years.

I don't talk to anyone I was really good friends with in high school anymore unless its in passing at a store or something. And even then it's just a "Hey, how's it going? Good? Alright."

You'll find out when you get older that high school popularity doesn't matter at all. It's just 4 years of preparing you for college & after. The only thing high school taught me was how to put up & deal with a$$holes. It's a small world. You can't like everybody.

You will find out that people change. I never talk to anyone that i went to school with. I was a fairly popular person thru high school but after graduation everyone went their seperate ways.

Just do your own thing and who gives a crap what people think? Everyone's got raging hormones and is whacked out of their gourds anyways. The friends you make in high school probably will not be your friends in 4 years. I graduated in 2006 and I can honestly say, there is no one I went to school with that I still talk to. The only friend I had in school that I still keep in touch with at all is a friend I grew up with. Used to live two streets over.. And it's just a "hey, how are you doing.. how's your girlfriend" with him.

Usually the cool guy is the guy no one really liked. Junior High is one thing, high school is another. Forget your past and focus on making new friends. Dont worry about being popular, just be yourself.

You just need to bleed the weed. You know...choke Kojac, put in some hand work, hit the ham, firm your worm, riding the great white knuckler, scratching the itch, shucking bubba, varnishing the cane, being your own best friend. You get the idea.

I was popular at one point in high school, but this a**hole came to hang out with us and turned all my best friends against me, eventually I did become friends with the guys but we were never as close as what we where at one point. Don't worry bud, it's life this kind of thing happens to most people.

Also you don't have to be liked, you're not a Facebook status.

Helping put Mr. Kleenex's kids through college, playing cards with one hand on the table, measuring for condoms, manning the cockpit, letting some air out of your tire, wedding rehearsal, shooting some seeds, roughing up the suspect.
