If you’re not the coolest kid in your high school, you probably remember looking at the really popular kids and saying to yourself, “Wow, they’re gonna be the kings of the hill forever…”
Annnnnnd then, about ten years after graduation, you see them and realize that some folks really do peak in high school. You know the type.
AskReddit users share what behavior screams “I peaked in high school.”
You’ll enjoy these…
1. Wow…
“Getting the score of the football game you won against the school’s rival tattooed on your shoulder.”
2. Still hanging around
“When I was in high school, this guy a year before me had a fearsome reputation. At house parties, people would fear him just by name alone. He would show up to parties with his cronies and start fights. He came from a decent enough family. Everybody wanted to be on his good side.
Anyway, he graduates high school, and most of us were still in 12th grade. I remember he used to come around lunctime to smoke with the people out front, shoot the breeze and talk about how much fun it is to just sleep in and do nothing and have all this freedom.
A couple of months of “Ohhh cool!” To, “Why are you still here?” as we awkwardly shuffled back to class.”
3. That’s not good
“I dated a guy with his high school mascot tattooed on his arm.
It was such a turnoff.”
4. Still holding on
“A guy who graduated from my high school back in 2003 was arrested a few years ago for his 2nd DUI.
He was wearing his Letterman jacket in his mugshot.”
5. I’ll buy the beer!
“Partying with high schoolers when you’re 30.”
6. Sad!
“At my ten year reunion, the prom queen came wearing a tiara with a custom “Queen ’03” sash over her shoulder. I had to go outside I was laughing so hard.
But I’ll be damned if she didn’t rock that outfit the while time, so, respect.
Still sad though.”
7. The King and Queen
“Billy Joel feels compelled to write a ballad about how you and your ex were the king and the queen of the prom, how the two of you married right after high school, and how it all went to hell from there.
Bonus points if your names happen to be Brenda and Eddie.”
8. Nerds!
“Still bullying the “nerds” at your 10 year reunion.”
9. The good ol’ days
“Sharing EVERY memory from Facebook talking about the “good ol days” and “wish we could go back” when it’s only been a few years since graduation.”
10. How’s that working out?
“Dropping out of college to promote your pyramid scheme.”
11. Oh no!
“Me, in a horrid realization, in the back of my ’92 Camaro, while icing that knee I blew out at the championship game senior year, reading through the divorce papers.”
12. You guys wanna hang out?
“Selling pot to teenagers and then trying to get them to stay and smoke with you.”
13. Jeez…
“Filming yourself running drills and throwing footballs off camera in front of your van/mobile home.”
14. That is embarrassing
“The class that graduated before me had their ten year reunion last year and apparently a big fight broke out over something that happened when they were all still in high school. I guess that is one way to tell if someone peaked in high school.
Pretty embarrassing.”
15. Still trying to live the dream
“Forcing your kids to be good at sports.”
Alright, so now that you’ve read about everybody’s shame… it’s time to share some shame of your own!
