I actually forget I'm still in high school. In my mind, I've already graduated and I'm moving on with my life.

I've changed a lot since I first entered high school, but I can't say much more than that.

You can't be wrinky at 20 :P
That reminds me I was wondering how long it will be before I have to make the decision to dye or not to dye? 8O

Anyway back on track, I have probably changed more than I realise but not as much as I would have hoped.


But it's been m life long dream to become wrinkly. All the old people are doing it so why not?

Yeah, I think I've changed. Looks-wise I've gained a lot more weight, I wear more makeup, I constantly straighten my hair and I look a bit older. I'm a bit more responsible with things and less immature. I became a lot more outgoing in college but I've regressed since then, ever since I moved back from Alberta. I've had more life experience and I've gained more knowledge and smarts. My clothing style has slightly changed as well.

I've grown physically older. I've also grown wiser. Even my confidence has drastically improved in the last 30-odd years. But I still have the same feelings, the same doubts, and the same desires.

I like to think that I've improved.

I've grown iridescent, scaly tentacles and both my eyes have moved to the left side of my head, but otherwise, I'm pretty much the same.

No. I've become a mother and gained a lot of new experiences but overall I'm pretty much the same person I was 11 years ago. Who that is, I'm still learning.

It has for me.

I wish I could say the same about some of my peers... :lol:

I have become more cynical since all my highschool memories involve verbal torture and physical bullying.
I now have PTSD and an illogical fear of high schoolers.

I'm still the same person I was but I'm more confident in myself and have alot of self esteem in me. I was a wreck in School.

I've changed a bit since I graduated in 2010. Broke up with my long-distance boyfriend from a rocky relationship, and found someone who lets me be me, quirks and all :P Took a year of college, moved to the other side of the world, and am certainly a lot more mature. I also have a better understanding of myself and what I do that isn't "normal".

I wasn't really anything in high school, just a zombie hobbling through with no time to really...think outside of...anything. Just doing my best to survive. I liked firearms though, as I always have (interests haven't changed).

When I left, I had more time to think; that brings both good and bad things.

I was a very unhappy ticked-off Schizoid when I was in high-school. I had lots of issues with school, my parents & others & I just wanted everyone to leave me the hell alone. I wanted to stay in my room all day/night watching TV & playing Nintendo64 & did not want to see anyone except when I wanted food. I never really felt truly happy or had positive feelings towards others; feelings I had towards others were negative like annoyance, frustration, anger ect & I did NOT care about others or anything.
Now I'm very emotionally sensitive; I care a lot about things & others even thou I have problems expressing it. I'm extremely lonely & desperately want to find a partner who I can share my life with & be extremely close, affectionate & romantic with.
What caused the change was that I met a girl online when I was 20 who had lots of weird thins in common with me & we really connected. It was the 1st time I ever felt a connection with anyone or like anyone truly cared about me; I mean I guess I knew people like my parents cared because of their actions but I never felt the emotion of caring from anyone. She manged to break the wall I had built-up around others & my feelings.

I've changed MASSIVELY since Secondary School. The only thing that decided to join me into Adulthood is Depression, which I'm slowly untangling my way out of. :)
