Incoming wall of text!
What's up, I'm Obelish. I'm a sophomore going on 16 in a month, 5'11" and pretty slim. I'm not looking to put myself down and wish my high school career ends faster than it started. No, more like, I realize that you only go through high school once, so why not try to make it the most fun you can have before you're placed out in the real world? Trying's a hell of a lot better than moping around everyday about how much you hate everyone.
Anyway, once I got into high school, I was never really the kid who girls desired, or some type of alpha male. Actually, I was never one period. 8th grade's really when I came out of my shell, I hung out with a lot of people in grade, in my relatively small Catholic private school, went to a lot of parties over the summer and whatnot. Both the girls and guys considered me friends obviously, but to this day I've never had a girlfriend or even just a hook-up. The girls thought of me as a friend, never enough to want to date me. That's cliché shit, though. In high school, I guess you could say I tried to become a bit of an alpha male, you know, basically a guy who could be "funny with an answer to everything".
I don't know what the hell put me under the spell that I could just do that with a smile and a few jokes in the middle of class. I admit, I did make some people laugh, but it soon gets to a point where people start to laugh at you, rather than with you. I had to drop my "clown" persona and become a guy who could defend himself. I'd developed a good amount of wit from the time I was in 8th grade and on, and instead of using it for jokes that no one would appreciate, I began to throw out quips left and right to people I thought were trying to make me look like a bitch. Still, as satisfactory as it can be to put arrogant people in their place, it usually doesn't make you look any better, and it doesn't satisfy you forever. When you let someone know how much of a dick they're being, egos will make everyone think you're the dick. Also, if you end up being universally hated, it won't matter how much laughter being an all around douche gives you. At the end of the week, you're still the one at home alone on Friday on his Xbox. Of course, I'm not universally hated, but I'm not loved either, just liked, I guess. So I figure I should change that to make the most out of high school while I'm still in the middle of it.
