High school is your last opportunity to truly enjoy life. Nothing will ever compare to having a normal youth.
There are no benefits to being a "late bloomer." Even if you manage to get a relationship or make friends later in life, it will never be the same. People become very jaded and boring as they get older. They don't know how to let loose and have a good time. They're burnt out because they've already done it all. There are more rigid rules to socializing, everything is about maintaining an image and looking "mature." People prefer to make small talk over a meal to doing anything remotely fun. Any activities they participate in are planned, overly structured, and cost $$$. Nothing is spontaneous. People have no interest in expanding their social circles or building deeper relationships. Their sense of humor sucks. They have emotional baggage. They're too busy to meet up on a regular basis, often preoccupied with more "serious" things like careers, getting married, buying houses, etc. Dating is just a pain in the ass because women's expectations are exponentially higher. You can't really connect with anyone because you missed out on so many formative experiences. You'll never get to share the excitement of "firsts" with anyone. You may accomplish things you once thought were impossible, but you won't feel any sense of achievement because it's simply expected of you by now. Studies have even shown that your dopamine circuits are most sensitive during adolescence. Nothing feels rewarding or enjoyable later in life. The list is endless.
Late bloomer = rope.
