Sometimes! At my high school, it was a thing for your friends to decorate your locker for your birthday as a surprise. One year my friends covered my locker in Christmas wrapping paper with a giant drawing of a dog on it, because our running gag at the time was that my hairstyle made me look like a spaniel
I think this dates you (as it would me), because kids don’t use their lockers anymore. I think newer schools don’t have them at all, maybe. My kid was in high school ten years ago, and he told me no one used their lockers, everyone just carried everything in their backpacks.
Nah, the hollywood portrayal, outside of everyone looking like 25 year old models, and having stylized dialogue, was pretty on point from my experience.
i’m a musician. had several larger social groups, and then there’s the people who haven’t figured out how dorky musicians actually are and think we’re cool.
Do people in high school really know when your birthday is and give you gifts?
Depends on the people, but sure, sometimes!

Nope.
If people were generally nice to him, I can see someone with autism getting excited for their birthday and announcing it to everyone weeks beforehand…
not gifts, but i’d throw parties every year with about 50-60 people attending. my 18th had about 100. We had a large yard.
Dayum. I always thought big birthday parties were a Hollywood thing.

I’m a musician too but back then all I was was extremely socially awkward (we’re talking Bocchi would look normal next to me).
