[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732190, member: 1550"] Our smoking lounge was in the school and very large. It annoyed me as there was no place for nonsmoker's. You didn't have to go outside to smoke. Many kids walked across the parking lot to the grass to smoke pot. I never went there, couldn't tell you what it really looked like besides grassy. You couldn't smoke in the bathrooms, but kids did. Even pot smell was in there sometimes. Old Hand, much of what we wore was VERY inappropriate! Little halters tops. Bikinis in the courtyard to sunbathe. Skirts so high that the drinking fountain was a challenge to lean over. Ripped jeans was the style. I would buy jeans and rip them up. Only the preps wore jeans that weren't ripped or cut in the knees or other places. We looked horrible. My yearbook shows this lack of good grooming. Remember, many of these were rich kids who could afford nice clothes and haircuts. They certainly had nice cars! It was very chaotic with many drug overdoses in our class and it was hard for a learning disabled kid like me to focus and learn so I stopped trying. I would put my head on the desk and close my eyes or else I acted as class clown. Nobody ever told me to behave better. It was like the teachers were afraid of us. I didn't care for school and very often cut gym class, which I hated. I'd walk to the closest bus stop and ride to the beach. I would go to gym just often enough to pass with a D. Gym was my last class in my two last years. I didn't see it much. On the bright side, in the class ahead of me was Merrick Garland, the Obama Supreme Court appointee who never got a chance to be voted on. We had some very smart kids and a high college attendance rate. I was not one of them. Nor did I care. I still don't care that I didn't go to college. [/QUOTE]
