As a society, we tend to have contempt for people who peaked in high school. It’s far from an enviable position, not having any accomplishments that level up to what you did as a 16-year-old. It’s pretty sad to still see the world through high-school-tinted glasses, but that’s the case for more people than we’d like to admit. I have never met anyone in my adult life and thought, «Wow, they must’ve been popular in high school» or «Wow, they were probably a loser in high school,» and I’d like to keep it that way.

This is the story of two sisters: one was popular in high school, and the other wasn’t. The girl who wasn’t popular (Sara) grew up to be a successful woman, and the popular girl (Kelly) dropped out of college. When Kelly claimed that Sarah didn’t deserve the success she had because she was a loser in high school, her mother fought back, telling her that she was the loser in life.
