Also this is just terrible advice in general because it's 100% possible to reinvent yourself after high school. Like for example I'm aware of Becky's who were downright ugly and bullied in school

Places like high school are the best places to determine your own SMV. Its a completely artificial environment: there are only people who are similar age as you, the gender ratio is around 50:50, and you are are in close vicinity of women for multiple hours a day.

If even in that artificial environment women aren't at all attracted to you, then you have been demoted to genetic scum by women. They don't like you, they don't find you attractive. There's no easier place to attract women than high school. If you can't do that there, where can you?

High school it's crucial for deciding one's future success (or lack of) in all aspects of life, and whoever denies it is a liar. When you miss teen love and all social experiences that would make you an acceptable member of soyciety and properly develop your brain, it's pretty much over. That's why I'm mentally stuck in that time period and always thinking that if nature had been good for me regarding looks, how different the high school experience and adult life would be.

This is water, but yeah, high school is definitely a make it or break it moment for a person. If you have a bad time during these years, it can scar you for the rest of your life. Those years are formative and crucial for your development.

High school is like a mini-version society. It's all about how good you look, who you know, and your social skills. If you don't have any of those, you're doomed.

This just objectively isnt true because most people attain status completely outside of their high school years. The thing is success and status later in life is mostly determined by being born rich. So you have someone like Elon musk who is probably an easy target for bullying that ends up one of the most powerful people because their social status is bigger than a high school social heirachy

You make some good points. Many normies get laid and successful after high school. I didn't even mention teen love once in the essay. But, I never claimed high school defined your life 100%. Most people are not born with generational wealth. For most people, your status in high school definitely at least correlates with your status in life afterwards.
