My tweets resonated with their pain and it caused them to become very upset. Their self image took serious blows during their high school period and left wounds which never properly healed. Simply because they never dealt with their teenage emotions. Even if they are way past their high school years. Those who fell short this ideal cannot help but feel the sting of envy. They are the couple everyone wishes they were in high school They represent the summun of popularity and success in high school. Which is why I tweeted that this photo invokes primal reactions in people. They seemingly had it all, and worst of all, it didn’t even seem to cost them any effort. They’re the kids everyone wishes they were. They’re good looking, athletic, popular, probably from wealthy families, etc. The couple on the photo represent the archetypical popular kids. So when I posted that photo of the stereotypical popular couple, it stinged for a lot of people. Perhaps they even got bullied or excluded from the group (the worst thing that can happen to any 15 year old). We never learnt healthy ways of processing things as kids so high school doesn’t get processed.įor many high school was not a good time. High school is a time of many emotions and most of us never process them. In hindsight we know all of this is silly, at least objectively we do. We’re placed in a lot of uncomfortable positions and we develop coping mechanisms to deal with them. In hindsight we know all of this is silly, but during high school we all feel the pressure. It is a place of navel gazing where everyone is constantly trying to see where they stand in the human hierarchy and where the opinion of others is super important. Fitting in and being popular are very important.

High school is a period in which everyone feels insecure. If that’s not bad enough they also suddenly get raging hormones and have to learn how to deal with their sexuality. Exploring who they are, what their place in society is and what their interests are. High school is a difficult time for most kids. It’s ever so much easier than you would tend to imagine.
