No I hated HighSchool with all my heart.
Schools are concentration camps.
The teachers most of the time are complete fools, just there to spit out what they been programmed with.
All the kids are complete self-obsessed bullies.
Most kids only have a dumb mom, and no dad.
They lie to you in school that the earth is ball. Yet nobody can F—king go to Antártica at all.
When you get to HighSchool, all you want to do is F—K , and none of the hot kids wanna F—k you cause you’re too ugly.

Next thing you know. You feel just as stupid as ever when you graduate, with BS knowledge that didn’t prepare you at all.
You loose all your friends because they all move away and have their own BS going on.

Colleges scam the absolute F—k out of you or your family. You don’t know nothing about car maintenance, you know nothing about getting the right teachers, you know nothing about college life. You know nothing about paying bills.

I dropped out, and working regular job. Once I’m done having fun and being a Hoe.. I’ll go back to school something not to long.

I’m still dealing with a lot of traumas and depression from being fat from PCOS, and being bullied and beaten up throughout school and by my own family even. All throughout my entire life.

I'm a home school student so I am receiving a far superior education to public schools but not necessarily to elite private schools. Already I'm advanced a year and finishing the ninth grade. However, my parents and I had discussed completing my high school at an elite private schoo. Assuming I can get admitted, and I feel certain that I can, I may attend the Benjamin Franklin Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

Because their programs are individualized for each student, they offer year-round admission. Another advantage is the individual instruction. After mastering a students can immediately start another course so I might be able to complete 3 years in 2 or 2.5 years. I believe that is likely since I have tested at the 12 grade level. In any event, I will enjoy my high school education whether home or private school but I will not miss it after I complete it. Instead, I will look forward to college.

I really don't, it was horrible, I got jerked around by the teachers and guidance counselors, had to work after school and always got 0s for not doing homework.

Was working FT after school because it was better than bring abused at home.

One example of getting screwed over by the guidance counselors is that I put myself through summer school on my own dime, aced it, but was still not allowed to take academic math because they "didn't like my attitude". My attitude involved telling off a teacher who wouldn't tell me how to do things long hand because my family couldn't afford a graphing calculator and I didn't yet have a job.

Learned some valuable lessons about corruption, abuse of power, and class discrimination.

Very nearly turned to a life of crime out of betrayed rage.

Thankfully I had a good friend who's dad knew not to ask questions when I wanted to crash over, and was able to get a job which would be a decent living even now, and didn't feel like I needed to join a gang to escape.

TLDR

Highschool sucked, on many levels.

I dropped out it was so bad.

Anonymous · Answer

Yup, I loved high school and college both. They were fantastic times.

Suddenly I had a social life outside of my family. I got involved in the student newspaper and you could not stop me from writing. I went to prom, homecoming, all that stuff.

To all that, I made friends that even now, 40 years later, I still have. In fact, I am still in touch with some of the teachers I knew in high school and one of my high school friend's sons is now my godson.

Also, yup, there was girls!! I have my first serious girlfriend in high school and - oh yeah - we lost our virginity to each other. It was amazing.

In fact, high school is where I really started to get my wings, so to speak. To develop my own ideas and, as I say, build relationships outside my family. Oh, and when I got my driver's license and my first car - a 1973 Pontiac Catalina - life really took off.

Honestly, I know that some people did not like high school and you have to accept that their experiences were different from my own. Still. I can't help but feel that they did not appreciate all that they had in those years.

To be sure, I am a father now. (To one high school and three elementary school kids.) I have an interesting career and life is good and I would not change a thing. However, when I look back, I still remember those years fondly.

So put me down as pro-high school (and college.) Those were some amazing years.

I went to a serious university prep high school where you had to devote practically every hour to studying in order to make it, so I don't miss that aspect of it, but don't regret it either because high school literally made university seem like a breeze. I don't think HS was the best years of my life or anything, but I had the same awesome friends in both high school and university (my university was a 3 mile drive from my high school) that as a group lasted for 15 years solid before kids, moving away, life happened that separated most of us. I feel very fortunate for the entire experience and for the friends because a lot of people don't get that.

Jennajay1719 · Answer

Heck no I hated high school. I always had annoying ass students in my class that thought they were funny but they were extremely annoying asf I always pictured smacking them in the face. I could never stand students who thought they were a badass mainly guys who thought they were cool meanwhile his nickname was Bubbles like wow. Teachers sucked ass didn't give a fuck about teaching or helping. The only teacher that I really liked was my art teacher he taught me techniques how to draw/paint, I did feel bad for him because I was the only one wanting to learn while everyone else would talk or play around. Worse memory was when I had a crush on a guy and all of a sudden a group of ugly girls try flirting with him and causing drama with me to get me jealous. Like whatever good luck cuz he ain't gonna notice your ugly ass. Thats why my senior year I got independent studies I just couldn't take it anymore always drama and shitfor no reason and I was the quiet girl

Kkstarzz96 · Answer

I miss seeing my friends at school and the aspect of romance. I wish as an adult I could see my friends at least once a month, but no one really puts in the effort, I've tried but it seems like everyone is focused on themselves, and I am too, but I have time to give to relationships. As for romance, it's only because in high school if you like someone and they like you back you guys can date and hang out and make cute memories. As an adult if you like someone and they like you back you'll probably sleep together but never actually connect. Like I said, every one is busy and doesn't willingly open a space for you in their life. So it's very lonely, even though I won't deny I was lonely as a teenager too.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

As I get older, I start to see how much more I could have been enjoying myself. I'm not gonna say I didn't have fun but it could have been way better.

Kids should realize that nothing there is all that important and they shouldn't worry so much about college.

Not in the sense that's not important, but in the sense that if you study and have faith in yourself, that's going to give you the best results, other than that don't take the other stuff too seriously and have the best time you can.

When you're young like that your world view isn't so developed yet because you don't have experience in the real world. So it's hard not to be stressed out all the time.

But trust me highschool doesn't need to be so bad. It's kind of a joke tbh especially if you're smart.

t-8900 · Answer

I loved and hated high school in equal measure. If I went back to correct the wrongs and do better I'd totally do it. If we had a rewind button I'd push it in a heartbeat. But I can't. I know what I would do differently though and I wouldn't let my home life ruin my best chances at a better career.

Anonymous · Answer

Honestly i really don’t. There’s a couple of memories that every now and then i’d reminisce about, but full on miss HS? No.

Ultimately life has Improved since HS, i have a job, met friends, moved out, done so many things now that i was too scared or shy to do in HS.

And tbh, i don’t even talk to anyone from HS anymore. I talk to only 2 friends from HS, the rest either i talk to them once every blue moon or i haven’t spoke them since graduation.

Further more, i just couldn’t ever go back to being in that school. or just as a High schooler in general. As terrible as Adulting is i much rather do that than to go back to being a High Schooler.

Blackcupcake · Answer

I graduated 2 years ago so it hasn’t been “long enough” for me to miss it, but I did enjoy it a lot…

I am now in university and I CAN’T WAIT to graduate lol, so missing high school is definitely not something that crosses my mind since I am so tired of school atm…

but perhaps in 10 years when I have been in the working life for years, I might reminisce and wish I could go back to every now and then hahaha

ElvenMr · Answer

I kinda liked high school, even tho i hated a few things about it. Like my best friends turning out to be fake friends, shit teachers, bullies and racism was seen as "okay". Designated smoking area in the courtyard.. and the whole class just got more and more depressed as we got closer to graduation apart from a few people.. because we knew we didn't learn shit in that school... Everyone knew it wasn't the best school we could've gone to, but it still was pretty good after all..

But i would still go back, because i have a lot of fond memories of that time despite all the shitty things, and i would do many things differently.

As for reunions... i didn't go to any yet, and there was like 3-4 already. Not sure if i want to meet any of my fake friends or the jackasses ever again.

NathanDavis · Answer

I liked it, it was great for the most part, with the obvious downs here and there but overall a great time and experience... I wouldn't say I miss it though, I did grow out of it... lol

it had is time, that's it

Anonymous · Answer

I voted I don't miss it. I never learned any true academic advice or practical life experience in high school. Teachers were bias, principals were bias. The only thing I miss about high school if I reflect back is that I was younger, gym class, joking around with my buddies and that's pretty much it. I did poorly in high school, wasn't motivated to do well and part of that was environment in my house, friends with bad influence and etc. I upgraded my courses in the night school to get to university and did much better in university and my professors taught me a lot.

Unfortunateguy27 · Answer

Not great but not terrible. I went to school did my assignments came home and played video games. I was a ghost, nobody cared for me either to hate me or to like me. I just went through high school and I do with my life till this day, day by day. Only difference is since Highschool I began to get bullied by college students when I did attend and by coworkers at every job under the sun. So now all I have experience is loneliness and hatred. No friends, no hobbies, no social life, no relationships just bullying mockery shit talk and laughter

purplesnow33 · Answer

No high school was crap. College is 10 times better than high school. You have no freedom in high school. I had to get a stupid written pass just to go to the bathroom. In college you have way more people to chil with. More freedom of having a flexible schedule. Food on campus is much better than terrible cheap and crappy high school food. Some classes in college attendance is optional. Living with other people during college is pretty fun. Environment and atmosphere is much better. As soon as I got into college I never looked back at high school and was so glad I got out of that hellhole.

Jabberjaw · Answer

I do not lol. While yes it was fun, College, and life after has been more enjoyable. Only changes I would make if I went back would be sleeping with a few girls in particular. Working out sooner, more efficiently, and set myself up much better as far as money is concerned

anylolone · Answer

Actually, middle and elementary school were way worst for me than high school.
But it was still getting beaten and sexually assaulted on a semi regular basis, still better than on a regular or constant basis.

Anonymous · Answer

Grade school was the worst time of my life. 5th grad was horrifying. HS was slightly better. I was socially awkward but I was heavily involved with sports.

I admit I sometimes fantasize about going to sleep and waking up in my bed being 14 and getting ready for my first day in HS. Uncle Rico fantasy lol. But still maybe in a different time dimension it it possible.

Adronicus · Answer

I hated it as well. I always seemed to be different & never really fit in. My friends mostly consisted of jocks, cheerleaders & stoners. I learned later a lot of the girls liked me & that surprised the hell out of me. I was always absorbed in analysis of human behavior as well as analysing myself in those days & I guess that's off putting for some. Took me time to build the pillars of who I was & what I was to become.

Jay3344 · Answer

It’s like taking a middle schooler and dumping a crazy amount of hormones into them, then having parents who have just started to get parenting down only to have this upended by teenagers. Put all these kids together in a small building and lie to them about how the world works. Then add drugs and cars and sex. It’s a horrible time full of acne, awkwardness, highs and lows. Would never want to relive accept to do a better job, and choose a better path.

Valso · Answer

No, I don't. I'm doing my best to forget that time of my life and I'm happy that this period will never happen again. The only sort of good thing that happened to me in high school was that I had my first crush on another guy there. "Sort of" because I never got the courage to tell him.

A guy's life begins when he graduates from high school and leaves all the bullies behind.
-Me.

schittywok · Answer

Best times of my life ever. Yes, I would go back and do it all over again. I thought the pole results would be the complete opposite. I went to school in a small town though. I can imagine how much it might suck in a big school. I did that though in middle school, still good times. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people these days.

Hell no! High school was one of the hardest times of my life I'm more than happy to keep it in the rearview mirror.

Anonymous · Answer

I don’t miss high school per se. But I do miss having my youth and so little responsibilities. Not that high school was easier because it’s actually hard to deal with asshole classmates and condescending teachers and all that extra work that gets increasingly harder to handle plus the pressure to be an excellent scholar and knowing that everything you do now will set you up for your future…it’s a lot. But it was simple in its own way.
