you're only there for 4 years and you'll never talk to them again. I haven't talked to 1 person from the 532 that I graduated with since graduation day(except my wife who I met my senior year). Point is, don't let petty stuff like not having a girlfriend bother you.
You wanna make an imression? hook your truck up to the 'popular guys' car and drag it around and leave it in the middle of the football field. especially if it happens to be a chevy pickup he brags about?
Dustin, don't sweat it man, concentrate on you, and getting decent grades etc. In the end you will have the last laugh. I'm 32, and am now just beginning to see that all the popular people in high school generally now are losers, working in crap jobs they hate, and have been divorced allready.
In high school I wasn't popular at all, had hardly any friends, and now I think I am much happier (and earn wayyyy more) than any of the "cool" people in high school. It's funny to run into them at the mall, I just shake my head.....
Remember, those of us that don't fit into the "hip" crowd usually end up running this world, or having the "popular" people working for them.
i never had a girlfriend in high school. I wasnt a nerd or geek as a matter of fact i was a co captian of the football team i was on the wrestling team and almost undeafeted all through high school, i also was on the baseball team. i wasnt just a jock though. i was on the chess team and president of the chess club, was on the debate team and the head AV guy. i took woodshop and auto shop all four years as well as advanced math and science classes and played violin in the orcherstra. ( first chair) i received 3 scholarships to college in my sophmore year for that, even played in the Kennendy Center in Washington Dc and Jimmy Carter when he was President was there. So you dont have to date in high school, at that age it may seem like a very important thing but it really isnt, people rarely marry there sweetheart from highschool anyway. Concertrate on setting your life up now. Take the hard classes if you can. It will pay off down the road. The girls will come and go and someday you will all of a sudden relize you have a girlfriend and that you werent even really trying hard to get one and she just appeared, then you will figure out that it wasnt hard at all to talk to her or hug her and she will be eveything you ever wanted.
actually i took the 2nd chair volinist to the prom and the lead viola player also won Miss Virginia in 1979. Not that i couldnt find a girlfriend, i just didnt have the time. I would take girls to dances and hang out but i had no steady girlfriend. Not that i was a player either. i didnt have a real relationship til after i finished my 2nd year at USC. other things were just more important then that at that time. and i still play the violin as well as 7 other instruments now. It is a gift.
I'm a senior this year, I've had 2 girlfriends, and both of them just "happened" to wind up with me. Of course the last one lived 200 miles away, never really saw her much, just talked a lot on the computer and some on the phone, plus she's 2 years older than me too. So that kinda just played out. The one I have now lives 50 miles away, and shes ok, but not all that great looking (I know thats kinda mean), I just like her as a person. I ain't got serious with anybody, we just talk. Don't worry about a girlfriend right now, they'll cause you more trouble than good in high school, rumors, etc.
I myself, am a tried and true Redneck, and I'm proud of it. I make good grades and I am involved in clubs (mainly FFA), and I love to tinker on my truck. I cut grass and fix lawnmowers to make money. Nothing special here. Most of the friends I had 4 or 5 years ago, I hardly even speak to now. I am the only one out of that group that took a shop class, and they were supposedly "Rednecks" and they never even set foot in the shop, they're all in business classes. High School is fun for a lot of people, too bad its the ones who don't care who have the most fun.
Your last sentence is VERY true, IMO. "Too bad it's the ones who don't care who have the most fun" I Can't agree more. When I was in HS, I was always the "smart one", and the one where everyone would want to "get all the answers" from.
To MW95F250: This here's Redneck-Cowboy from NE. Just a few questions. (This could be a cowboy thing) How many lights you got on your truck? Why don't you have true striaght pipes? and whata ya do fa fun on the weekend? Up here us boys cut grass w/ a tractor and windrower for a livin, we all run pure striaght pipes whether ya gotta V-6 or 4cyl. Ranger, 300-6 (me), or 302,350,351, or 360 dodge, whatever as long as we can annoy people. We all personally decorate our trucks w/ as many lights as possiable (6 halogens, 17 marker lights personally w/ a CD player, amp, and subs blastin Joe Diffe), whether the lights be bolted to the bumper, the cab or tailgate we make sure our alts get a workout. On the weekend some things I can't mention, but plain Redneck winter fun is draggin a car hood behind my truck through main street on the ice and snow we all pack down with our 4x4's before the town can scoop it off, then bustin drifts in fields after school. Summer fun is hookin up to each others bumpers in main street and playin tug a war w/ our trucks until the "pigs" get out, then go muddin. And I couldn't agree more when you said, " High School is fun for a lot of people, too bad its the ones who don't care who have the most fun." But it's not to bad for me, I care some, but never let homework get in the way of my truck and fun. My school has jack for auto classes so I take I.A and welding and anything else indutrial they have, these are the only classes I excel my self in.l
To mbnv992: People like you are some of my best friends, they keep me passin, I take them out for some fun.
All I can say to dustin 86 is if it's really that bad just play it cool for the next year and a half, and once you get to college and major in what you excell in (possably mechcanic) people will have a lotta respect for ya. Otherwise find some guys who like motorin around (excluding rice grinders) and hang with them. Like Joe Diffe says, "There's something woman like about a pick-up man."
