High school isn’t what I thought it would be… and I feel kind of left behind
​
To be honest, when I was younger I used to watch movies and series and I had a very different idea of what high school would be like. I imagined friendships that last forever, fun lunches, romance, all of that.
Now I’m going into 11th grade, and it honestly feels like the opposite of that expectation.
I lost my friend group, so I’m basically alone during lunch most days. I just sit there and scroll on my phone or try to look busy. I’ve never had a boyfriend, and I haven’t had my first kiss either. Sometimes it feels like everyone my age is already living these different experiences, and I’m just… stuck watching from the outside.
I know high school isn’t supposed to be exactly like movies, but I didn’t expect to feel this disconnected from it all.
I guess I’m just wondering if anyone else has felt like this, or if it actually gets better later on.
