Intellectuals, how do you do it?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p><em>It has come to my acknowledgment that my participation on these boards is stagnant. Hence, it's good to be as busy as heck</em></p>

<p>Well, before I begin my nightly procrastination spree, I felt as if it would be best to consult the erudite sages of High School Life when it comes to matters of love. Before you roll your eyes in disdain, just read for a bit. </p>

<p><em>Brief Outline of Quagmire</em></p>

<p>-He's a freshman.</p>

<p>-I pretty much no longer communicate with him, though I do remember us actually being friends in junior high. </p>

<p>-It's hard to reconnect, almost impossible. </p>

<p>-He's currently dating a junior. </p>

<p>-This junior abominates me. </p>

<p>-I cannot provide an explanation for her hatred. We don't even have classes together, and all I can remember is that we're both in Key Club, though she's one of those people who joins every club possible just to embellish a college application. </p>

<p>-Almost everytime she sees me, she ridicules me in front of anyone watching. For instance, I was wearing heels. As I got into the girl's locker room, I almost fell on my face, mainly because my shoes had collected so much sand and gravel. Well, she saw me. And as soon as I walk across the courtyard and into the school, she races up behind me and yells "Hey, I saw you fall!" so everyone can hear.</p>

<p>-Most recently, she walked past me, and while doing so, remarked on seeing my driving on Sunday. She quipped, "I was going to crash into your car." </p>

<p>Advice or consolations? Leave me some goodies, for I now have to tend to AP World History.</p>

<p>I'm in no position to offer advice on the relationship (thank God). About the nasty junior, I'd just say work on your comebacks. I sit around with a couple of friends during gym and we just burn each other to no end. Practice makes perfect.</p>

<p>ok...seriously laugh it off. it works. I use to take stuff to heart but it someone insults me...Ill laugh and insult my self. Then its not really funny cuz if u dont take offense...the person failed at offending u.</p>

<p>like the heels thing...u could have said "haha yea Im pretty clumsy with heels...but maybe...just maybe one day I will get used to it. Till then Ill just have to practice."</p>

<p>and alternative would be sarcasm...which is effective usually. "Thanks for noticing. I love how u pay so much attention to other peoples problems. You must have a lot of time on ur hands."</p>

<p>-a senior in high school thats ready to leave</p>
