From what I've heard through the grapevine, the kids who made my life a living hell in high school all wound up developing drug and/or alcohol problems and aren't exactly doing well.

My first two years of high school I went to a catholic school. This was so full of a-holes it was like a brown starfish convention in the hallway. Upper-middle class white kids that weren't wealthy enough to go to the Prep school down the street and had real issues with that - constantly trying to prove something. They would generally do that by going out of their way to make life hard on the few of us from the lower class. I got into a lot of shoving matches and confrontations in those two years but surprisingly few fights. Not many of them would actually throw a punch. I couldn't afford to just beat the crap out of a guy or two as an example - I needed to be there and didn't have a 5 figure donation handy to get out of expulsion the way the other kids would. Still, it was enough to make those two years completely miserable for me and a few others. It was bad enough that I transferred to the public school after 10th grade. To this day I still can't believe the difference in cultures between those two buildings only a few miles apart. There were a-holes in the public school but even the worst of them would have been considered a decent guy on the prior school's scale.

A few years ago when I realized that the kids who were entering grade school were NEVER alive during the 20th century it really hit me hard. In 2017, when the kids graduating high school were never alive in the 20th century, it will probably hit me again. Then again, I'll be 37 that year so THAT will hit me hard. I've only got a couple years left of my 20's. Better not screw 'em up.

I went to my 20 year reunion last summer. It was like visiting a warped version of High School.
Some of the ugly chicks turned out hot,
All of the hot chicks got fat.
All of the jocks were fat and bald.
All of the stoners were....oh yeah.....they were in the bathroom smoking weed. ::)
