I did the same thing and found it actually worked, if it’s someplace like a very crowded hallway. Worth noting though I was not in America, or an all boys high school. Shit I heard about those places sounds like a fake high school sitcom to me.
It’s a great way to get through a crowded bar or concert, but I’ve amended the technique a little. I stretch my arm out and use it to telegraph where I’m headed, pushing my arm ahead of me through the gaps between people, and they tend to kinda naturally make a space with no contact necessary. I’ll only put my hand on someone’s shoulder if they’re totally oblivious or I’d otherwise walk into them, and even then you have to be subtle about the right pressure and length of touching or I could see people getting mad, but I’ve never had someone be upset with a very brief light tap and I’ve used this technique successfully to move myself and my girlfriend (we hold hands and I almost pull her along with me lol) through some tight crowds without ever ruffling any feathers.
hmmm, all boys high schools aren’t actually very common in America. high schools here are almost all coed.
By “younger”, I thought they meant childhood, not… fifteen.
Bro the teens are when you are most cringe. That’s where the real juicy stories are.
Any younger and you largely dgaf.
When you hit teens there something in you that starts making you want look cool to girls. That’s the most important thing in the world.
Good point!
Idk man 15 is pretty young.
Too young to drink drive and vote, old enough to be a parent and to soon enlist in the army
Yep, and 18 is still pretty young.
25 is still pretty young too and some of the cringiest behavior is people at that age acting as if they were still 17 (though not as bad as 45 year olds acting like they are 25 or 60+ year olds acting as if they were in the single digit ages).
15 is one of the criengiest time
Yeah, 13-15 for me. Although I’ve spent all my teen years behind a computer and didn’t socialize at all, so I was pretty weird overall. Well, I still am, but at least I can at least talk with strangers with no issues, although I still get nervous very rarely and talk nonsense.
You are 100% a child when you’re 15 lol I know I coach 15 year olds every day

I still prefer my adulthood, because at least I am no longer bullied, I am not forced to do bullshit homework, and I don’t need to learn stuff that I won’t ever need in my life, but instead I can focus on learning stuff that either I am deeply interested in or has any practical use in real life.
Younger is just a comparative form. It doesn’t imply a particular period of one’s life.
I mean… fifteen is still childhood, isn’t it?
Anontaïr
I am not alone it seems.
