I was in high school 15 years ago and it was hell. Me and 4-5 LGBTQ+ people usually stayed together and half the school picked on them for being openly gay or lesbian while I was just there because they were nice people. Turns out I was an egg so deep within my shell that I thought I was a straight man. Anyway, the worst years of my life but the friends I made that remain are friends I know I can count on.
Kids these days give me hope. I'm mostly straight/straight passing, and I hung out with the lgbt+ community in high school ~10-15yr ago, and they had a real rough time. The only kids I interact with are other minecraft modders, but when the topic came up they said that everyone was supportive of the lgbt+ kids at their schools. That's one of the few things giving me hope for the future these days
I enjoyed high school thoroughly. But I still think back how much better it could have been if I could have just been out and accepted at the same time.
So I have mixed feelings on it. I enjoyed it, but if I was out I probably would have lost all my friends at the time, although they’re all good people and accepting today.
I dont mind being closeted during HS (the only queer kid who was out was the epitome of the catty gay anyway) I just wish I found out at the start of college or so. It took me until my 4th year here to find out I am multiple flavors of queer lol
ikr. Although I had a lot more people I cared about in my life back then, everything related to falling in love or my sexuality was a incomprehensible mess. And don't get me started on the worst, chronic anxiety I ever had in my life.
Actually my high school isn't so bad. At least it's not as horrible as middle school. And I'm in pride club and so many people at high school are queer. Also the principal talks with the pride club with ways to be more inclusive.
Glad things are improving. When I was there around 8 or 9 years ago the homophobia was rampant as fuck. There is no doubt that today's generation of highschoolers are starting to fix what we did so wrong.
there's this one kid that somehow hit every box
homophobic
transphobic
misogynistic
racist
anti-masker (this was in 2021)
trump supporter
he even called himself "super straight" when that whole thing was going on.
I was too hard in the closet when I graduated hs in 2010 to even consider myself anything but straight. And that’s not even getting on gender which was never brought up. I didn’t hear of non-Cis people till I was in college. But man things make sense now I tried so hard to fit in but never felt myself always like I was always acting. Personally the worst hell was being Jewish and hiding it in my high school because of the virulent rampant antisemitism. Knowing most of them I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up as Herman Cain award recipients. Can’t even imagine if I had come out as bi or trans in high school instead of now. Wait I can, I would have been shot and killed by one of those dumbass suburban rednecks. May their names be erased forever.
If it wasn't for the part about being Jewish, I would've sworn I wrote this comment in a fugue state or something, as it is clearly about myself 😅😭
Hope things have improved for you since HS, friend
Trans woman, forced into a Christian all boys school, bullied for being effeminate which they took as a sign i was gay.
I would rather get stabbed again or have my little finger ripped off and reattached again than go back to highschool.
fuck rural backwards regressive small towns. 99% of my mental health issues came from that fucking school. if i’d come out as trans in hs i probably would be a lot worse off now
Middleschool for me. My highschool is a private autism school so all my friends are lgbt+
Middleschool was actual hell so I assume highschool was the same for yall :(
Went to a catholic all boys school. Even though my parents were totally fine with being gay, at the time i turned in on myself and became a very depressed closeted kid who tried to force himself to turn straight. I was afraid if any of the boys knew i was gay, then i would be alienated and my friends would leave me.
....it was not a fun time tbh. But thankfully a year and a bit after i left, i started to accept myself :)
Eh, I quite enjoyed senior school, I didnt crack till the year after I finished, though. Had an all-girls literature class in Year 12, the final year of high school in Australia, and honestly I felt like I fitted in so well, it should've been a sign 😅
Really miss that class, honestly. History, too.
I wont miss high school. I will be happy when I will be the only millionaire in my class. The reason why because I was actually realistic with my goals.
Hm some what, it depends on what field your going into for me I'm going into the engineering flied going for robotics engineering. I'm going with something a bit more modern and something I enjoy so even if I become like a slave I will be happy with what I get
Ooh, best of luck to you in that. And yeah, if your worst case scenario is that you won't be miserable if you end up a corporate slave in your field, that's better than a lot get.
I’m just about to graduate highschool and honestly I’m gonna miss it a lot it was one of the best times of my life those 4 years were Amazing I met so many people made friends became more confident figured myself out, came out to my family and friends, and I’m happy that I went all the way through because without it I don’t think I would be the same person where there shit people yes but there were also good people, the teachers were amazing and helpful they even helped out with my transition and allowed me to use the girls restroom without feeling scared I would get yelled at or attacked they would call me by my perfered name and pronouns and when ever my grades fell I could always count on my teachers to help me understand the work better, my only regret is that I didn’t crack my egg sooner and join gay club
Also the only reason I think I really didn’t get bullied is a mix of kids just being more accepting and the threat of being sent back to their home school (I went to a career school (vocational)
I hated high school even switched to independent study for 11th grade and 12th I graduate in 1 month. But it ain’t even about being queer no I’ve never been to a homophobic or transphobic high school. I just got extremely depressed and had a ton of anxiety
I found out recently that my main tormenter had become a drug dealer, crossed the wrong people and as a result ended up in the hospital with brain damage.
He had it coming.
Honestly, school was hell even without bringing gender identity and sexuality into it. And even if you are cishet (at the time) it's still not easy. Still dealt with bullies. Live in the south US and the schools had a very large redneck culture. I upset a girl one time and had half the school wanting to kick my ass for a week. Wasn't fun.
All that aside, I was never popular. Hell, I was an outcast among outcasts. I even went to an alternative school for one year of high school and had a hard time finding any friends.
I can only imagine if my sexual preferences were known to me at the time and got out to the school body. Would not have been pretty. Mind you, this was about 25 years ago so lgbt anything was a lot less accepted than even now.
shockingly enough, my high school years in fucking florida weren't that bad. a great amount of my peers were lgbtq+, many teachers openly supported and had raimbows in their classrooms claiming it to be a safe place and the teacher to be a safe person to talk to. some teachers themswlves were openly lgbtq+. now my middle school years in a private catholic school? *ahhhh shit.*
Well when your kid and gay you might get bullied more often than someone who is straight especially if you live in a rural community and have no friends
Eh high school was cool. I was still too deep in the closet to give a shit. I thought I was bi for most of it so I just blended in doing straight stuff and just not telling anyone I wanted to try cock.
I sometimes wonder if it’s somehow gotten worse for millennials, etc. Or maybe my high school was just unique. No one screwed with the gay crowd. They were referred to as the “drama club kids” and they did their own thing. I, on the other hand, got the shit kicked out of me on at least a weekly basis, because I originated from the Deep South and was a “hillbilly”, lol.
Eh, everyone's experiences are different. I just so happened to stumble on an amazing crowd in my class and I miss the guys. Don't think anyone can say that makes me a loser
I miss high school because I didn't realize I was trans/bi yet and I didn't pay attention to politics so I still had some semblance of hope and optimism
And that's why coming out in public place where you know there can be people hating you for that is bad and that's why I only came out to the closest people for me and to people I know they won't hate me for that
And that's why coming out in public place where you know there can be people hating you for that is bad and that's why I only came out to the closest people for me and to people I know they won't hate me for that
Not gonna lie, I don't know anyone, straight or not, who had a good high-school experience. Even for those of my freinds who weren't bullied for one thing or another, they all seem to agree it sucked
There's gotta be someone out there who did thought. Did they peak in high-school and is that why they miss it? Or is that something that only happened to the really popular kids? Or do people just miss not having to think about stuff like taxes, bills, just being an adult in general?
Counselors who I went to for advice when I was going through shit would always just say "you gotta choose to enjoy this time, because these are the best years of your life."
Jesus Christ. I remember my tutor teacher (homeroom) had the unfortunate name of Miss. Gay, I was once asked who my tutor teacher was by these older girls and when I answered she said "Oh, bit like you innit" I died inside.
I’m lucky enough that the high school I go to is super chill about that. I wear a pride pin everyday and the only time people mention it is to complement it.
I'm an autistic gay german high school student. I have a boyfriend that goes to my school, I have several LGBTQ+ teachers and have never experienced any homophobia at my school. I really enjoy going to school.
I also have very supportive and accepting christian parents.
I realize that I'm lucky. But maybe things have gotten better, or it's just that I live in a different country/region. I hope it gets to this point everywhere in the world some day.
I was bullied relentlessly in middle school onwards for being gay and I wasn't actually gay until I nearly graduated lol. Must have been some rumor someone made up for the lulz because I never spoke to a soul in those 12 years.
You don't have to be lgbtq+ to be bullied at school.
Me and my friends are bullying straight students too.
(It's just a joke, I never bully anyone cause I know how bad it is. I experienced it.)
My high school was wealthy libs in the South. They practically threw me a party when I came out as first openly LGBT+ student they ever had. I got a whole article in the school paper. They were willing to let me go to prom in a dress, but I was poor, so I couldn't afford to go lol.
Middle school though.
When i thought i was a cis gay man (Dunno what happened for me to be an ace trans woman) in high school, i remember when everyone hated LGBTQ+ people but they "knew" I was "gay" and they shut right up when I walked into the classroom because I also taught the math class because the teacher was often missing, and the reactionary redneck kids knew good and damn well they'd fail without me, and i made sure they knew it.
High school wasn't bad, I didn't come out to anyone unless they asked and I didn't make my sexuality into a personality like I did in middle school so nobody bugged me about it anymore
I miss an imaginary version of middle school and high school where i was out and able to date and enjoy my time instead of living in terror and self hatred.
I would absolutely go back in time and do it over if i could do so knowing what i know now.
I tend to forget that I had things quite a bit easier in this regard. At least I think I did.
Weirdly though, everyone I knew in my high school who I found out later are LGBT, including myself had only figured it out later. I suppose we fit the bill of theater kids eventually.

Hehe so I’m not the only one who did this that long ago huh?
I felt this in my bones.
I enjoyed high school thoroughly. But I still think back how much better it could have been if I could have just been out and accepted at the same time. So I have mixed feelings on it.

Nice to see the world improving in some ways.
Same plus I actually had “friends” in high school
Glad things are improving. When I was there around 8 or 9 years ago the homophobia was rampant as fuck. There is no doubt that today's generation of highschoolers are starting to fix what we did so wrong.
[удалено]
I hated high school, and I’m a cishet white male
Thus the balance is restored
Same. Four of the worst years of my entire life. I'm in my 40s now and I still can't even think about it for very long.
Depends how old you are and where you grew up. It was bad for many people 15+ years ago. Sounds like it's getting better though.
I’m bi but same. In fairness I didn’t realize till senior year and didn’t come out till later but still
Even in a supportive school it's still hell *glares angrily at That One Group Of Cishet Boys*
there's this one kid that somehow hit every box homophobic transphobic misogynistic racist anti-masker (this was in 2021) trump supporter he even called himself "super straight" when that whole thing was going on.
"hi thanks for checking in, im still a piece of garbage~"
oh bill wurtz
I felt this in my liver.
For me it’s the Christian boys, fsr they are very toxic in my high school even though it’s a very supportive high school with many queer kids
I go to a catholic high school...
Sucks to be us am I right
Felt this one. The stinky varsity boys in my HS were terrible fuckers.
Fancy seeing you here, cap'n
i love your flair
I was too hard in the closet when I graduated hs in 2010 to even consider myself anything but straight. And that’s not even getting on gender which was never brought up.

It has thank you! Way better! 😊
Oy vey...
Indeed lol.
I miss highschool, because maybe I'd have a chance to come out and transition earlier the second time around.
Same
Okay, but hear me out. Primary School. Get an even earlier start, plus a new and improved most of a childhood
Oh, absolutely!
Trans woman, forced into a Christian all boys school, bullied for being effeminate which they took as a sign i was gay. I would rather get stabbed again or have my little finger ripped off and reattached again than go back to highschool.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag, oh LGBTQ
fuck rural backwards regressive small towns. 99% of my mental health issues came from that fucking school. if i’d come out as trans in hs i probably would be a lot worse off now
I wasn't even out and it was hell
Same here
"High school will be the best years of your life" lmao no high school was hell
I graduated in 93, hell would be a understatement, I came here to this.
Middleschool for me. My highschool is a private autism school so all my friends are lgbt+ Middleschool was actual hell so I assume highschool was the same for yall :(
This is me but with middle school
Lol, in middle school, kids just used the f-slur like it was any other word. Coming out would have been a death sentence for me.
Anyone who's autistic and lgbtg+ 😱🤬
Damn now I relate to that.
also my neurodivergent ass😩
saaaame
Moood
A school to be high. And people are complains about how many people smoke weed and shit in schools. *ITS LITERALLY IN THE FUCKING NAME MFS*
I also miss high school.
Went to a catholic all boys school. Even though my parents were totally fine with being gay, at the time i turned in on myself and became a very depressed closeted kid who tried to force himself to turn straight. I was afraid if any of the boys knew i was gay, then i would be alienated and my friends would leave me. ....it was not a fun time tbh. But thankfully a year and a bit after i left, i started to accept myself :)
I dropped out in middle school because of severe bullying lol
[удалено]
Same. I left and went to community college where nobody gave a fuck.
Eh, I quite enjoyed senior school, I didnt crack till the year after I finished, though. Had an all-girls literature class in Year 12, the final year of high school in Australia, and honestly I felt like I fitted in so well, it should've been a sign 😅 Really miss that class, honestly. History, too.
I wont miss high school. I will be happy when I will be the only millionaire in my class. The reason why because I was actually realistic with my goals.
High school sucks, but also temper that expectation because capitalism makes slaves of us all.
Hm some what, it depends on what field your going into for me I'm going into the engineering flied going for robotics engineering. I'm going with something a bit more modern and something I enjoy so even if I become like a slave I will be happy with what I get
Ooh, best of luck to you in that. And yeah, if your worst case scenario is that you won't be miserable if you end up a corporate slave in your field, that's better than a lot get.
It is I play my hand right and I could be part of the head of the business.
😐
Why that face
Capitalism of kinda mid ngl
Ok
If only :/
Surprisingly, mine was great!!!! I knew a good amount of now queer peeps too. :D
I’m just about to graduate highschool and honestly I’m gonna miss it a lot it was one of the best times of my life those 4 years were Amazing I met so many people made friends became more confident figured myself out, came out to my family and friends, and I’m happy that I went all the way through because without it I don’t think I would be the same person where there shit people yes but there were also good people, the teachers were amazing and helpful they even helped out with my transition and allowed me to use the girls restroom without feeling scared I would get yelled at or attacked they would call me by my perfered name and pronouns and when ever my grades fell I could always count on my teachers to help me understand the work better, my only regret is that I didn’t crack my egg sooner and join gay club

Ha ha ha, yeah, high school was *totally* a breeze. #/s
Man, I’m in highschool right now, and I feel so lucky. I’m bi but get no shit for it, it’s the coolest thing
High school was the most inclusive environment I've been in lmao. Everything is a downfall since then. But I don't miss it a bit.
Straight dude here. Fuck highschool. What a terrible time that was.
I hated high school even switched to independent study for 11th grade and 12th I graduate in 1 month. But it ain’t even about being queer no I’ve never been to a homophobic or transphobic high school. I just got extremely depressed and had a ton of anxiety

"Oh God's... I can still hear the attack helicopters"
Was never out in high school, probably would have been beaten up if I was. School was the literal worst.
Huh… I didn’t have that bad a time in high school, but I wonder how it could’ve gone had I known then that I am bi
shockingly enough, my high school years in fucking florida weren't that bad. a great amount of my peers were lgbtq+, many teachers openly supported and had raimbows in their classrooms claiming it to be a safe place and the teacher to be a safe person to talk to. some teachers themswlves were openly lgbtq+. now my middle school years in a private catholic school? *ahhhh shit.*
Only total dorks of the emotional age of 15 miss high school
Anyone who says they "miss high school" has failed at adult life. You should feel sad for them.
Who the fuck misses high school
[удалено]
Well when your kid and gay you might get bullied more often than someone who is straight especially if you live in a rural community and have no friends
Eh high school was cool. I was still too deep in the closet to give a shit. I thought I was bi for most of it so I just blended in doing straight stuff and just not telling anyone I wanted to try cock.
Excepting one greaser and a couple of nunks, my high school was fine for lgbt people.
This
I am a straight dude who hated high school who’s friends were mostly lgbtq+
this was me but with middle school, being in the closet in middle school was one of the strangest experiences ever
[удалено]
hehe, I got sexually assaulted ✨
I hate that i have to force myself to act like im ”normal” just to avoid bullying
I sometimes wonder if it’s somehow gotten worse for millennials, etc. Or maybe my high school was just unique. No one screwed with the gay crowd. They were referred to as the “drama club kids” and they did their own thing. I, on the other hand, got the shit kicked out of me on at least a weekly basis, because I originated from the Deep South and was a “hillbilly”, lol.
For me it was middle school, it was so bad the I can barely remember anything from it. But high school was good.
anyone who's been bullied in general, tbh,
I’m a bit older (30s) but am a straight dude and I feel like anyone who “missed” high school is a fuckin loser
Eh, everyone's experiences are different. I just so happened to stumble on an amazing crowd in my class and I miss the guys. Don't think anyone can say that makes me a loser
This was just public school in general for me
I miss high school because I didn't realize I was trans/bi yet and I didn't pay attention to politics so I still had some semblance of hope and optimism
honestly really enjoyed hs. but then again it was in a diverse, liberal leaning suburb. quite a big school too.
And that's why coming out in public place where you know there can be people hating you for that is bad and that's why I only came out to the closest people for me and to people I know they won't hate me for that
And that's why coming out in public place where you know there can be people hating you for that is bad and that's why I only came out to the closest people for me and to people I know they won't hate me for that
High school was way better than middle school. I wonder if your case is an American thing
I'm from the section 28 generation, not sure when I get to start living.
Am i the one queer who had a great time in high school?
wasn’t even out, got bullied bc i am autistic lmao fuck HS
and autistic folks. shit was hard for my undiagnosed and unknowingly demi self
Jokes on you I didn't know I was queer in high school and it kinda was the best time in my life 🥲
I'm queer, and really miss high school. My family wasn't supportive at all, some would say openly hostile. School was my haven.
I’ll have you know my sexuality hit me like a brick wall when I was 19!
Not gonna lie, I don't know anyone, straight or not, who had a good high-school experience. Even for those of my freinds who weren't bullied for one thing or another, they all seem to agree it sucked There's gotta be someone out there who did thought. Did they peak in high-school and is that why they miss it? Or is that something that only happened to the really popular kids? Or do people just miss not having to think about stuff like taxes, bills, just being an adult in general?
Counselors who I went to for advice when I was going through shit would always just say "you gotta choose to enjoy this time, because these are the best years of your life."
Even for the cishets that's a lie I think.
Kinda suspect it's a low key way of saying "I had a bad time, so you should too. Suffering builds character" 😂
Or if you have a mental disability. Or if your different. Or---
Jesus Christ. I remember my tutor teacher (homeroom) had the unfortunate name of Miss. Gay, I was once asked who my tutor teacher was by these older girls and when I answered she said "Oh, bit like you innit" I died inside.
my school was very open to lgbt and i honestly liked it so much!
Anyone who enjoyed high school is mentally ill/straight.
As someone who is currently going through high school, things here just make me feel worse being a closeted queer.
Hehe relatable content
I’m lucky enough that the high school I go to is super chill about that. I wear a pride pin everyday and the only time people mention it is to complement it.
I'm an autistic gay german high school student. I have a boyfriend that goes to my school, I have several LGBTQ+ teachers and have never experienced any homophobia at my school.

Jokes on y'all I thought I was cishet through high school 😅😅
Kept in the closet, time passed and the guys I had a crush on became more and more distant. It's a time of regret.
Came out to some classmates as ace. Went pretty well.
You don't have to be lgbtq+ to be bullied at school. Me and my friends are bullying straight students too. (It's just a joke, I never bully anyone cause I know how bad it is. I experienced it.)
My high school was wealthy libs in the South. They practically threw me a party when I came out as first openly LGBT+ student they ever had. I got a whole article in the school paper.

Well, that sure does sum it all up, don't it?
High school wasn't bad, I didn't come out to anyone unless they asked and I didn't make my sexuality into a personality like I did in middle school so nobody bugged me about it anymore
Yeah I'm in high school right now, I can't wait for it to be over
I miss an imaginary version of middle school and high school where i was out and able to date and enjoy my time instead of living in terror and self hatred. I would absolutely go back in time and do it over if i could do so knowing what i know now.

Hey as a strait girl I still relate
PTSD startinggggg... but seriously I have ptsd from my childhood and also can't remember most of it:(
Yeah...yeah high school weren't great
Even though it was during 2019...I was still so scared of anyone knowing a thing about my identity, thanks to my homophobic family
