I was a fairly subdued, straight A kid until got into high school. We had just moved to a new school district, one that wasn't nearly as good as the one i left and they didn't really have the advanced classes i should have been in. I was already in college level classes freshmen year with juniors and seniors..which didn't go over well with them..sorry your kinda dumb. And those are the people I ended up hanging with, started drinking and smoking and generally fucking off. I tried to get my GED, or something, early, talked to the school admin about early graduation so i could start college early( i already had a 2 yr tuition, and was getting approved for a full tuition at a tech college) but no go. I still put some blame on the school system for not getting me into the advanced shit i need to keep me interested..I honestly think they wanted to keep me there because they got a stipend for each student through the state because they were considered an alternative school ( voc/tech HS), but then again I'm cynical about everything. So pretty much I WAS a "good" kid, until the system changed me..
