12 striking similarities between high school and Twitter

Twitter: a place to share, a place to learn, a place to grow.

Is that an ideal or reality?

For some of us, this is a reality, but Twitter is also a place of social norms, somewhere that even the most awkward individual can find friends, and a locale for the cool kids to strut, if only just a little bit.

As you involve yourself on Twitter, day by day, sometimes you may not observe much of what is going on around you. After all, there are millions of users and you, of course, are paying attention to just a small percentage of them.

This draws a parallel to a place where all of us (most at least) have been before. A place that some of us flourished in the limelight, while others suffered its wrath. The parallel I’m exploring is one we all know as high school.

How do Twitter and high school compare? The similarities are more prominent than one may think, so buckle up and take a stroll down memory lane as I share with you 12 striking similarities between Twitter and high school.
