Thanks much to Nike for this Much of this has been posted before, but anyway.. Fom YM Magazine What I Was Like In High School I went to an all-girls high school, but I liked it because it alleviated a lot of pressure. My self-image wasn't based on how boys perceived me. I woke up five minutes before leaving each day, threw on my uniform, and didn't have to worry about anything except my schoolwork. I was neurotic about getting an A, and I was constantly looking ahead. But when school let out, I was suddenly like, "Oh, my God! Boys! How do I look? What's he thinking?" I fell for the unattainable, popular athletes. Occasionally, I'd talk to one of them on the phone. But there was no big romances for me. I really didn't date much in high school. I was very tall, gawky, and skinny. Dances were just terrible. We'd have to ask the boys out. We felt like a bundle of nerves. "Who's going to ask this guy to the dance?" "Well, you took him last time, it's my turn." Then you'd have to call him up to ask him, which was worse. "Hi, what are you working on? listen, do you want to go to this dance? Okay. See you in three weeks. Bye" my dad is quite tall, and he's always tried to intimidate guys. So I always dated very nice boys and got home early. |
