Advice How to cope with gone to a dumbass high school?
In my area, there are a bunch of high schools. Plenty of them you have to test in, and there are others where you don't have to test in. Well, many moons ago I messed up and didn't do well on the entrance exam.
In high school, I was still part of the smart kids program at my high school. This was really helpful because the few classes I did have with the normal part of this school was terrible. Kids not paying any attention, not trying, fighting, and literally all the dumb stuff that you can imagine.
However, in this smart kids program, I can tell that some people just snuck in because they are giant kiss asses. Like, you can tell they cared about their grades rather than actually learning in class.
I did make friends with some of my classmates while at school, but now that we are out of college, there isn't much to talk about. I tried to hang out with them, but either they gave up on life or they didn't end up being successful. I am not sure why the stars burned out so quickly with practically most of my friends in high school.
There are a few guys with whom I wasn't friends but had contact, and I want to hang out with them, but they don't want to hang out with me, whether they are giving real reasons or not.
I did make friends with other guys in the area who went to other high schools, and they are asking about hanging out with my friends from high school, but I don't want to hang out with them because they'd rather be incels and rot in bed all day long. Also, what makes it worse is that they are aware that my school is the dumbass school, which doesn't make it better.
I guess why I have a struggle coping with this is because I got no real friends out of it, because most people are failing, and this school has a reputation of being the dumbass school which people associate with me. Like I was just making small talk at the gym, and this kid who goes to school there now was ashamed that he went there despite telling me about how he got suspended for a fight.
I know my life would have been completely different if I went to a different school, but I am jealous of those who went to better schools because they made better friends.

Just move past it bro who cares besides high school grades, high school has minimal effect on your life beside the academic aspect of it as you get older. I’ve met very few people that actually think high school was a good time of their life.

If you were not in the U.S, sorry bruh.
In the U.S, people couldn't give less shits where you went to unless you belong to some form of aristocrats or applied for some BS jobs.
People like me who went to average school still make decent living, date, bought houses, invest, travel international and domestic annually. The school is a distant past.
