12 Things Only People Who Went To A Small High School Can Relate To
Where everybody knows your name and your business
Living in a small town meant your probably attended a small high school. You know everyone and everyone knows you. You can name everyone in your high school and their family members. Going to a small high school can be both annoying and a blessing. If you are like me and graduated from a tiny high school, I am sure you can relate to all of these problems below.
1. You know literally everybody in your high school.
Everybody knows you. You also know everybody and their business. You know who their family members are, their middle name, their pet's name, their social security number.
2. It was a major deal when someone new came to school.
When a new kid moves to school, everybody will rush to get to know this person and try to become friends with the person.
3. You get a puzzled look when you tell someone how many people you graduated with.
Take it from someone who had twelve in their class. Yes, I am talking about myself. I cannot count how many times I have had people shockingly ask me, "YOU HAD HOW MANY IN YOUR CLASS??"
4. You are in a class with the same people all day long.
As i said before, I only had twelve people in my class. So I had every class with those eleven other people. All day, everyday, we were together.
5. It does not take long for gossip to spread around school.
Everyone in the school will know your business before you even get the chance to find out. Gossip at school spreads faster than germs.
6. Seeing your teachers in public was not awkward.
Being at a small high school meant smaller class sizes, which also meant you were more than likely to get to know your teachers very well. Chances are you had a few of your teachers' phone numbers.
7. You cannot start something new in class if two or more people are absent.
If you had more than two people missing from class, it felt like half your class was gone.
8. The entire high school is invited to Junior-Senior Prom.
If only Juniors and Seniors attended prom, their would literally be nobody at prom. So, you invited the entire high school to make it seem like a big turn out showed up.
9. You see people from school everywhere you go.
You cannot go to the grocery store without seeing someone you know from school.
10. You have the same teachers all four years of high school
Freshman year through Senior year, you will have the same teachers who teach their different subjects.
11. Dating is extremely limited.
It can be very hard to date if you go to a small school, because either one of your friends has already dated the person or you are really close to the person (as a friend).
12. You could not wait to graduate and get away.
But chances are, you are thankful for your tiny school. If you had to go back you wouldn't change anything about it.

10 Comments All Skinny People Are Tired Of Hearing Every Day
Being too thin is JUST as dangerous, and unhealthy as being too overweight.
As long as I can remember I've been rather thin. I've never had really had a problem eating growing up, so it's not like I've been deprived of food and nutrients. I just can't seem to gain, and maintain a healthy weight. Which is actually super dangerous and can cause a ton of health-related issues.
But people don't seem to realize that, all they see is a "model" like body, and all that comes out of their mouth are annoying comments. Let me tell you, coming from somebody who's been skinny their entire life, these comments are super annoying and really need to stop, because in all reality, being skinny isn't as glamorous as everyone makes it out to be.
1. You need some meat on those bones.
Trust me, we know, and we're trying.
2. Do you even weigh 100 pounds?
Funny. But yes actually, must of us do in fact have a weight in the 100's.
3. Yeah soaking wet. *after we told them how much we weigh*
Why would we be lying to you? And Why are you thinking about us soaking wet...?
4. I bet it's really easy to shop for clothes.
It's actually really hard, nothing fits correctly, and nothing looks even remotely normal on us. There's one store I can buy jeans from and if they ever go out of business, I'm quitting at life.
5. Do you not like eating?
We love eating thank you.
6. You must be a picker eater.
We aren't, in fact I'll eat anything you put in front of me.
7. You must really like your body.
I can only speak for myself here, but my entire life I have not like how skinny I am, and have tried for years and years and years to change that.
8. You're so boney.
Thanks, you have the same amount of bones as I do, sooo *you're* boney too.
9. This wind is going to blow you away.
We wish it would blow us away from your comment.
10. Can I pick you up?
No, why would you even ask that, we aren't toddlers.
