Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a photoholic.

High school is hell for the Social Phobic and for those that differentiate themselves from the norm because they are constantly insulted and cast out from their peer group. Work (and college) is much less so like that. I tend to think that High school is a large part of the reason for my blossoming addiction to photography. I've always been the outsider and the camera enforces a kind of observers roll.

I think that's pretty much the long and short of it. You said exactly what I was thinking.

I don't know, sorry to hear you guys didn't like highschool.. I can't wait to do other things, but I still don't want to leave highschool in some ways. I'm going to miss so many people and fun things about it.

Don't get me wrong - in retrospect, the carefree lack of responsibility and obligations was nice - and there were a few fun parts. But it's not an experience I would opt to repeat. College on the other hand.. I wouldn't mind so much.

Meg, it's only cool right now to be 17. It wasn't the cool age when YOU were 17. That's why your so bitter towards us 17 year olds.

You are just bitter cuz you still have to drive with a parent. lmao :lol:

High school is just cool when you are popular.
I started photography in high school, I was into a ton of activities. But I went to a small H.S. and did not have the right "name" in H.S. I developed an attitude which ended up making my life in H.S. a living hell.
I kept my bad attitude until college and then really got back into photography.
I find whenever I want to retreat from live as an adult, I really get into artzy stuff, like photography.

I would love to experience college life without being attached and having kids, another form of carefree... But that isn't an option..lol

Yeah it would have been nice if I would have made better choices in women in my early college career. As it is the only thing harder than being attached with kids in college is having kids without being attached in college (mind you I only have my kid 2 days a week so I guess I should take it differently) (I also love my kid more than anything else in the world and don't regret having him)

Same here I wouldn't trade my kids for the world. But it sure makes college hard. But having them getting excited about art, and photography and wanting to do stuff like mom.. That makes it worth it..
And it also makes it so much easier to be addicted to photography.
