All the time. In retrospect dealing with bullies was significantly less stressful than adult life….after all once I was home they couldn’t do crap to me and my only responsibilities were doing my homework and occasionally looking after my younger brothers. An hour of boring homework and feeding a baby and BAM the rest of the day was mine to do whatever. I did not appreciate that nearly as much as I should have.
I personally had a rough high school, never really fitting in and was mildly bullied. Sure, no financial responsibilities so that was fun. Would definitely not wanna revisit those years.
Late 20’s was really my best years overall and not doing too bad these days either.
Why? I did not like the kids I went to school with then I went to one reunion, realized that they were still assholes and have not been back. Last year was our 45 and I did not go, and I won’t go to the 50th.
No way. As an adult, however difficult things are, I am solely responsible and FREE to decide. As a kid and a teenager, there was no freedom or leverage, so I had to rely on surrounding adults – who have made A LOT of dumb mistakes and never had my best interest at heart.
It’s a 50/50 for me. I went to a super conservative school and the rules were very strict. There were a lot of ridiculous and outdated rules I had to follow and I got kinda rebellious at some point but thankfully I had my friends with me so school days weren’t so bad after all. I enjoyed studying, though I wasn’t very good at it. I love doing school work, the essays and writing notes was fun for me. But I do hate the stress of not being able to be smart enough to pass certain subjects. To he honest I hated all my math teachers except for two of my teachers in different grades who were both funny and men (ironically). But yeah, school was fun and I enjoyed it thanks to my friends. I would like to go back for a day but not more than that.
I have more free time now than I ever had back in High School.
Maybe the thought of hanging out with a lot of friends makes me want to go back, but they’re small in scope compared to the classes I’d have to attend.
Nowadays I clock out and that’s that, but back in those days I still had to stress about homework and studying for exams, as well as subjects I was never interested in.
Not in the slightest. School was hard, if you didnt fit in you still had to go there every day. As an adult I have much more freedom to make friends where I like and I can find a new job if I don’t get on with my colleagues.
My 20s were better than my teens and my 30s so far better than my 20s.
I do miss seeing all my family every day and chilling with video games on the weekends. But thats about all I miss.

Not a chance, too much drama!

Fuck, no.
I’m in high school now, but as a teacher. It’s much better lol
Not high school but defiantly the 80’s!!
No. The intensity of being a teenager was fun but it also was horrific. Once was enough.
Not high school itself… but I miss the feeling of life being ahead of me. No bills, no burnout, just dreams and dumb drama.
Yep. Do a few things over again
Sometimes because it was still relatively carefree and my whole future was ahead of me but at the same time some things did suck
I wish I could remember a few things about it, and that I’d kept in better touch with some people I now miss.
Hell no
No.
Fuck, no. College was liberation.
jfc – why?
I liked high school. I never want to go back.
If I could go back knowing what I know now, sure. Otherwise no.

Hell yeah, I would love to go back to my High School days…. Heroin was still a thing back then 😂

It depends on whether I know then what I know now (about life, and what’s important) or not. If not, fuck that bullshit.
Fuck yes, care free drinking, smoking, and fucking. Now, work, bills. That’s it.
NO, but I would love to go back to my college days. They were so great.
