High school was hard for me. I tried really hard to fit in and said the things I thought people wanted to hear. But I was unsure of myself. I was self-conscious, and I didn't really know my place or where I fit in.

I struggled academically in high school because it was hard to focus. It was hard to focus on those things that were other than artistic stuff.

School was rough for me. I was a good student in middle school, but high school wasn't so fun. I still pulled through, though! I excelled in art, fashion, history and English literature - anything creative. Math and science I struggled a bit more in.

I never finished high school. In fact, I hated going to school.

I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.

I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.

I think high school's very difficult. You're figuring out your own power and your effect on other people. You look back and see how you spent so much energy on figuring out things with your parents or your peers.

I did regret not graduating high school, but I made a point of going back and getting my GED later. It was important for my kids.
