People Share The Things That Scream 'I Peaked In High School'

It's not hard to move beyond high school. Just understand once you're out of there, life can truly begin. You can track down your dream job, take college courses to help you learn, or even travel the world. You are no longer bound by the imaginary walls of your classmates and peer pressure.


However, some people just can't move past it.

Reddit user, u/OlFashionedHandy, wanted to know what's a surefire way to recognize the peak of puberty when they asked:

What screams "I peaked in high school"?


Go Badgers...For Forever!

I dated a guy with his high school mascot tattooed on his arm.

It was such a turnoff.

Alright, Alright, Alright

Partying with high schoolers when you're 30.

I can't imagine this.

I'm 32, and high schoolers seemed ridiculously young to me after about 23.

Just Leave, Man

Selling herb to teenagers and then trying to get them to stay and smoke with you.

We're Barely In College...

Sharing EVERY memory from Facebook talking about the "good ol days" and "wish we could go back" when it's only been a few years since graduation

Me, in a horrid realization, in the back of my 92 Camaro, while icing that knee I blew out at the championship game senior year, reading through the divorce papers.

Still bragging about high school basketball games from 10 years ago.

Never Finding Life Outside Of The Game

I went to school with a girl whose parents graduated from our high school 20 years prior. All 4 members of their family got the school's logo tattooed. Her boyfriend still goes to the football games and reposts his game highlights on Instagram. We're all 21-22.

I'm from New Mexico and live in the largest city in the state. We've never had a good hs football team and the bf usually goes to pick up HS girls and brags to everyone about how he was the star football player. If someone from another team makes a really good play he'll make some kind of remark about how he could've done it better or he'll go into a detail about his JV football experience.

Never Getting Past Labels

Still bullying the "nerds" at your 10 year reunion.

Or worse, in real life. I briefly worked with a guy I went to high school with, and like ninety percent of our not work related conversations were him reminiscing about how much he'd bullied me in high school (and acting like it was all a big joke).

Never Letting Go

A guy who graduated from my high school back in 2003 was arrested a few years ago for his 2nd DUI.

He was wearing his Letterman jacket in his mugshot.

The son of convicted felon and disgraced former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn picked the wrong actor to express how triggered he is by equality and basic human rights for the LGBTQ+ community.

Michael Flynn Jr., a right wing MAGA influencer milking his daddy's former proximity to Trump for all he can grift, took to X early Sunday morning—the first day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month—to make sure everyone knows he's a homophobic and transphobic bigot, as if anyone had any doubts.

Gomes Da Silva was on his way to volleyball practice when he was detained over the weekend by ICE agents who were reportedly seeking his father. A Brazilian national, Gomes Da Silva entered the U.S. in 2012 on a student visa, which has since lapsed, according to a court filing by his attorney. The filing states that he is eligible for asylum and plans to apply.

Jasmine Crockett Rips FEMA Head Who Told Staff He Wasn't Aware U.S. Has A Hurricane Season

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett harshly criticized David Richardson, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), after he told his staff—a day after the start of the Atlantic hurricane season—that he wasn't aware that the U.S. has a hurricane season.

The hurricane season, which began Sunday and runs through Nov. 30, is widely regarded as FEMA’s most demanding period, when the nation faces heightened risk of large-scale disasters that can strain or exceed the capacity of state and local emergency management systems.

John Oliver Expertly Rips Family Of Man Pardoned By Trump After Defrauding Nursing Home

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver tore into the family of nursing home executive Paul Walczak—who went to prison after defrauding his own business—after President Donald Trump conveniently issued a pardon once Walczak's mother attended a $1 million-per-person political fundraiser at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

Walczak submitted a pardon request to Trump around Inauguration Day, emphasizing not only his own legal troubles but also the political prominence of his mother, Elizabeth Fago. The application noted that Fago had raised millions for Trump and other Republican candidates.
