nezua: whb2: As an adolescent Basquiat rebelled against any and all authority. He ran away from home several times, frequently got into trouble at school and dropped out of City-As-School, an alternative public school. Before dropping out of school altogether, on a dare Basquiat ran up to the podium and poured shaving cream all over his principal as she spoke at a graduation ceremony. While enrolled at City-As-School, he met Al Diaz, who became a close friend and frequent artistic collaborator. In 1977, the pair began spray-painting cryptically poetic sayings on the walls of subway trains and across lower Manhattan and signing them under the alias  “SAMO” (Same Old Shit). The project made the pair notorious in the area and contributed highly to Basquiat’s widespread recognition for his future solo work. this is an adolescent past and school record i can relate to.
