I was very lonely in high school. I think many people are lonely then, because teenagers are forced to reckon with new and difficult feelings, pressures and experiences, all while facing down a frightening impending future. For one year of high school, I decided to deal with those scary feelings and the scary future by throwing out the person I’d been and becoming more dangerous, someone who didn’t do their homework and hung out with the bad kids and made their future worse on purpose instead of letting the universe fail them first. That didn’t work out, so I spent pretty much the rest of my time staying home and playing The Sims.
