I Recall in Middle and High School

I recall in middle and high school feeling pressure to conform to specific ideas of what was cool. I also recall myself being fairly resistant to such pressures due to some degree of dislike of how the kool aid tasted and how I had to conduct myself to be considered cool. Also I feel like I had a good group of friends and family whom I could draw support or advice from. I recall trying c on multiple occasions because that was what was cool to do, not because I felt any particular enjoyment from it but rather it was easier than putting up with the constant stream of questions and comments. I do not think I would go back in time and change my conduct because it is what made me who I am today and I happen to enjoy my current situation and would rather make changes in the present than make changes in the past and hope they turn out the way I envision.
