So during this time, pretty much there were these annoying pessimistic kids in your classroom. How did you react when you keep hearing them pissy, or see them acting, do you walk away from your classroom, roll your eyes, or say stop/shut up, etc? Just curious...

Some of those kids weren't even in my grade because in late 93 I had to be in Kindergarden, most of the kids I am speaking of were in 5th and 6th grade that we would run into from time to time, we had this thing called Book Buddies where the kids from 6th grade would come down to kindergarden and 1st grade and read to us, there were a few pessimistic grunge people that read to us lol I remember I got into an argument with this guy that Sega was better then Nintendo and that Nirvana sucked. By the time I got to 1st and second grade I had more of an awareness of this depressing Gen X attitude that was going around me, one of my art teachers was one of those Gen Xers and she would always play Pearl Jam in the class while we were making things.

Damn... Did you like Nirvana or Pearl Jam even one single bit or no? And how did those pissy kids act like? Make gibberish noises, and acting lazy and they keep their head down, and stomp their feet on the ground?

This Simpsons did a good job of portraying what these teens were like, the episode came out in 96 and was dedicated to shitting on Gen Xers, Grunge was already looked @ as uncool at this point, The Smashing Pumpkins in general were more of an alternative band that hated the grunge movement so it added to the episode.

Honestly, I feel like 2019 has been the worst year of my life, and the worst year of this decade. It feels like it is sub-par with 1994. what happened to you this year? So before 9th grade Semester 2 started (Late January 2019), I was a happy kid in High School, I had a YouTube Channel (LBGamer, if you're curious) that everyone was talking about, and I used to beatbox. I even went for the December 2018 high school talent show with a best friend who I battled with for beatboxing. I met a lot of new friends going into high school, and everyone seemed nice. All of my classes were a lot of fun, especially Health and Science. However, the fun didnt last. Around Late January/February, semester 2 started, and things changed dramatically again. All the fun that I've had, it started dying on me. My confidence, either to do YouTube or beatbox, just started fading rapidly. My classes werent the Same, I felt lonely in a lot of my classes because I had to be around people who I didnt like from middle school. My classes were way harder during that semester, it felt like hell, and I had to be with people who I hated. They made fun of me, and kept talking behind my back, spreading fake rumours. Lots of my best friends around March, moved away, so the feeling of loneliness got further amplified. As time went on, I had less confidence to exercise, so I started gaining weight. So then, I tried fixing this by a person who I thought was my friend. We talked alot during class, and we hung out during lunch time. It was great, and I also got into his group of friends. They seemed nice at first and I thought they cared for me. However, I was used. They were all fake friends, and I only noticed this around mid-June where I heard them talking behind my back even when I did nothing wrong. They'd hangout without telling me, or have parties that I wanted to attend, but didnt invite me. I felt lonelier and depressed. They didnt appreciate me for who I am. The summer has been very boring for me. The music was trash, the movies/games werent very hype, I didnt hangout with friends even though I badly wanted to, it's just a boring summer. The only good part about the summer would be my trip to Alberta, it was fun and I vlogged about it, but that's literally it. At the end of the summer, I felt depressed, and overweight. I used to be that one confident skinny guy who used to be popular and inspiring/nice to a lot of people, to a depressed, worn out, and overweight guy. Semester 2 of High School ruined me, thanks to the fake friends and work. Aside from personal life, pop culture was shit. EDM was declining as time went by, which made music less happy for me to listen to, thanks to this freaking Trap/mumble rap trend going on. I do like Billie Eilish, I do appreciate her talent, but her songs are not my type, they sound more depressing and sad. The movies are not very exciting either, with the exception of Infinity War, Spiderman far from home, and John Wick 3. Games are very lousy this year as well. Fortnite was no longer fun.

And yes, I still feel affected by what's happened to me. I'm not depressed anymore, but still have anxiety and trauma. I have been trying to work out, which is great, and I have been feeling better and more confident, and my mind is starting to feel clear again, but I still have a long way to go. Sorry if this is off-topic, I just had to release my feelings because bottling it up was so hard for me, and It only makes me feel worse.

Yup, that's what highschool does to ya. I also remember being miserable during my sophomore year. My advice is that you should just keep doing whatever your passionate about, and KEEP SOCIALIZING. I can't stress that second part enough, its pretty easy to become reclusive and quite. You should try to meet people who actually have similar interests. Also keep in mind that high school literally doesn't matter. Unless you live in a tiny town or something, you probably won't be seeing any of your peers again.
