20 Funny Responses To The Online Question, What Screams “I Peaked At High School”?

Often going on about their high school or college days in a loud and obnoxious manner, these types easily stand out.  One Redditor got on the platform to inquire what are the identifiable qualities of someone who peaked in high school. The resulting answers were unexpectedly hilarious and we’ve shared a few of the funniest in the gallery below.  More info: Reddit

#3 I remember a pep rally senior year when a kind of friend of mine blew up a condom as a balloon and started singing terribly into it. It was embarrassing and I was going to engage them to stop. Another friend of mine stopped me and said "let him. This is as good as it gets for him." And f**k he was right.

#7 Todd "I went to 8 consecutive proms at the same high school."

He was so athletic that as a Freshman he dated a junior and went to prom. Same with Sophomore year. Junior and Senior years he dated underclass girls. After prom he became a custodian. For the next 4 years he Matthew McConaughey'd his way through students. When he knocked one up, he celebrated with his friends on a golf course and attempted to drive from that drunk and got in a wreck. There is a memorial golf scholarship in his name.

#8 “I could have made it to state”

#15 "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." Has nothing to do with peaking in high school directly, but damned if every girl who peaked in high school doesn't say that s**t.
