I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.

I married my high school sweetheart, and I do have two kids.

They had become a fixed star in the shifting firmament of the high school's relationships, the acknowledged Romeo and Juliet. And she knew with sudden hatefulness that there was one couple like them in every white suburban high school in America.

Honestly, I wasn't that girl in high school who people spread rumors about.

I went to high school in Stockton, CA.

As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.
