Right on 2000. Most of my formed school memories happened in the late 80's and 90's.

We don't have high school over here.
I think that's mainly a US thing....

Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
Interesting poll with interesting results.
Seems like the majority of people here (as expected) are people who were in high school during the heydey of 80s rock, etc. But there's a second contingent of guys who are probably from the first era that was in their "waste time on the internet" phase when Metal Sludge was first a thing, like myself.

We don't "graduate" as such over here, we just do our exams and then leave. Mine was '87.

Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
Here in the NL it's a bit different. After primary school (age 12) you go to a school best suited to your intelligence. Depending to which level school you go it will be 3 to 6 years...Rocker4Real wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:39 amDo you do those exams at about 16-18 years of age? If so, then that's similar.

Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
Same.. had a group of friends heavily into a lot of this stuff. GnR/Aerosmith (obviously from my name here) was our shit. It's weird to think that Permanent Vacation by Aerosmith when I graduated is the equivalent to me listening Bringing Low by Flo Rida now. Time warps your mind/perception.
Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
When Lee and I were at school, you did exams at 16 - O (ordinary) Levels or GCSEs, depending your age, as they changed the name in '88 - then you could either stay on until 18 and take A (advance) Level exams, or go to college for 2 years on a more vocational course, or leave and try to get a job. Now you have to stay in some sort of full time education until 18, though that can include apprenticeships which are 4 days working and 1 day college.Rocker4Real wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:39 amDo you do those exams at about 16-18 years of age?

I took my A levels in 1990.

Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
General exams (GCSEs these days, O-levels when I was there) are at 16, those who wish to stay on for A-levels finish at 18.Rocker4Real wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:39 amDo you do those exams at about 16-18 years of age? If so, then that's similar.

Re: When did you graduate High School? (Poll)
In the 90's and we moved the summer right before freshman year so I started high school in a new school not knowing anyone!
The town we were in was a "cool" town. Everyone grew up too fast. There was beer/booze, parties, rock & roll, kissing and fucking, all good. The town we moved to was like the twilight zone. I showed up in my ripped jeans and Guns n Roses shirt.
All the guys were wearing baggy jeans, sports/team shirts and baseball hats to class which was unheard of in my previous town.
And yes...the day came where I was wearing a Winger shirt and some dude called me Stewart. I thought he was saying I looked like Rod Stewart.

1986.
Should have been 1985, but I was too busy doing drugs to get to class, so the entire year was blown.
