I Hated High School True Stories

I hated high school. That is my true story. It was four years of hell. Well, really three and a half years of hell and half a year of okay.

You see, I was an obese teenager. Looking back now, I may have even been morbidly obese at the time. And let me tell you, life is not easy for a fat girl in high school.

I experienced a combination of torture, depending on the time of day. I was teased on a daily basis, like in the cafeteria at lunchtime, or changing in the locker room for gym class. The same kids, making jokes about the fat girl, never thinking about how that fat girl felt. t's ten years later and I still haven't gotten over it.

Many nights I laid in my bed and cried. Imagine how hard it is to cry in the same room as your sister, and not be found out. I wanted to be thin so bad, but food was the only friend I felt that I had. Me and my friend "Foodie" had some good and bad times over the four years.

My obese body, along with my teenage acne problems, and crippling shyness, made for a very memorable adolescence. Almost none of those fat times were good. Boy, how I hated high school.
