Most Common Subject in High School

I don't know about other countries, but the most common subject when I was in high school is sex.

In America, high school group is usually divided into categories such as the jocks, nerds, and the stoners. During my days, the jocks always wear their lettermen jacket and usually the most popular group. The nerds are usually coming from the marching bands and usually considered the most unpopular group. Then comes the stoners who usually have their own band and either in the heavy metal crowd or they wear black in some new wave crowd. Well at least that is my experience during the late 80's.

I never really fit in any of those categories. Since I got expelled at 2 public high school before I finally settled down in my senior year at an all boys catholic school, where I was constantly being watched.

Every group has one common topic, which is "Sex"! Most people claimed that they have already had sex. 80-90% are usually lying about that claim, but it's the pressure you have to deal with. I admit, I didn't have sex when I was in high school. I was too busy hanging around the detention center and sometimes I go serve my detention when I didn't have one because I was so used to sitting in the room, like the basket case on the, "Breakfeast Club", when she had nothing better do to.

"American Pie", was one of the good example of high school pressure on sex. Even though the movie was a comedy, it was about a group of guys who has claimed to lost their virginity. But in actual reality, most of it was just talk.

Back when I was in high school, the guys who claimed that they broke their virginity didn't know what they were talking about. Every little advice about sex, were absolutely wrong. The only few guys who were telling the truth were the ones who had to take their girlfriends to the abortion clinic. They were pretty quiet about sex.

When I was in high school, I didn't do the typical high school things like going to a junior prom or the senior ball. In my honest opinion, I thought it was pretty gay to begin with. Taking a girl whom I don't really like, expecting to have sex which would be a longshot. Spending a lot of money for something which really had no meaning, unless I marry the girl. I didn't understand what the big deal was going to the prom. There was this one movie which did interest me, "The Girl Next Door". I thought it would have been cool to take a porn star to the prom, but that is wishful thinking.

Back in high school, I wasn't really interested in girls. I was so lost and confused in what I wanted to do in life. The 1st 2 high schools I attended, it was amazing that I was passing classes. I was ditching classes most of the time, but you did see many garbage cans lit on fire and the trees were decorated with toilet paper.

I eventually got expelled, because this one friend of mine took a polaroid shot of his pecker. I didn't think he was serious when he said he was going to do it. He did it, and the next morning people were staring at a hand holding his pecker. The guys were on the ground laughing while the girls made remarks like, "EWWW! It's a penis!" Eventually the principal called me in (even though I had nothing to do with this incident) and asked me whether or not I knew who did this. I knew, but why do I have to answer this stupid question? This had nothing to do with me. This wasn't my high school, but since I didn't snitch on my friend, I was expelled from school. OK, if I was going to get expelled, at least I wanted it to be worth getting expelled for. That year the principal bought himself a new BMW. Since I was already expelled, I decided to light a cherry smoke bomb in his car. The inside of his car was all red. What does it matter? I'm already expelled.

The last school I went to was an all-boys Catholic school. Brother Lawrence (the principal of the Catholic school) took a chance in on me, but there was a catch. I had to get involved with school activities. So I decided to play sports to keep me out of trouble and when the season was over, I had to stay after school and study under the watchful eye of sister Krane. I was so busy at that school, I had absolutely no time to cause trouble. Having interest in girls was pretty much out of the question, because there weren't any. They had the all-girls Catholic school across the street, but let's just say they looked like they were beaten by an ugly stick. Didn't matter anyway, I didn't really have any interest in women at the time. I'm pretty sure in a movie like, "American Pie" that is what most public suburban high school life would be like, but I caused so much trouble during that time my life wasn't a typical suburban high school life. It was amazing that I got accepted to Cal Berkeley, but that due to the all-boys Catholic high school where I attended.
