I so understand what you say here, because it sounds a lot like my lonely years not so many years ago. Things DO get better, especially when high school ends. And metal and books and tr00 friends stay with you forever. I hope you keep reading the blog and let me know how life is going - and recommend me some good Indian or Mexican metal bands! @AdraV – from the age of 7 till about 15, my best friends were the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 05:06:25 +0000 http://steffmetal.com/?p=1138#comment-4134 I remember a few years ago I faced this same issue. I was rejected by most of my so-called friends and I didn't fit in. I felt anger most of the time, and I too began rejecting everyone around me. I used to love reading (as I still do) and I shut everything and everyone that was not on a piece of paper... indeed, my best friends were the characters from books (was reading Harry Potter at the time, if I remember correctly). Heck, I even changed schools (Mind you, I left my high school in Mexico for a boarding school in India--where I still have a semester to go). When compared to what I was a mere 4 years ago, I would say I'm much darker and angry than before... but as I read your blog, I thought about the things that have NOT rejected me, that still carry on whatever happens. My close friends (as you rightly said)--one of them I met when I was 4, and now, 13 years later we still meet regularly. The other I met 7 years ago, and he's my uber-Metal buddy forever. The other two things are books and, of course, Metal. The former have been my friends when I'm away (say, in India) and the latter my heartbeat. I love your blog and how you think... I only wish, as many do, I had seen this before. Stay Metal! \m/ I remember a few years ago I faced this same issue. I was rejected by most of my so-called friends and I didn’t fit in.

I didn't realise till I got to be 17 that high school wasn't going to be what the rest of my life was like. @Lew Thanks! I bet we'll find most people reading this blog had similiar high school experiences. @E Truth be told, I would have killed for my own wise adivce too.

Your four categories of metalhead made me laugh; it's amazingly true. I always thought of myself as somewhere between the the 1st and 2nd descriptions, but seeing it written out was great.

It's so hard to get out of the mindset that high school = YOUR ENTIRE LIFE when you're that age. Well put - and recall that only the strongest metalheads have the guts to keep it up in the face of adversity. Overcome!!
