I wouldn't have just shown up. I didn't do any work in high school.. I'm not even joking.. I barely passed high school with like a 2.2 GPA because all I did was ace all my tests and take an F on anything that required work. Now I have to deal with community college taking scrub courses in order to transfer to hopefully a good university if I work hard enough. I took a test and tested out of some prerequisites so apparently I'm pretty smart even though my record doesn't really show that. Anyway I'll prove myself to the world that I'm awesome by working hard and achieving what I set out to do. I'm fucking awesome and most people can see that. Unfortunately it took me many years to realize that myself.

Well, I suppose I would try harder to get better grades. I was very apathetic in high school. I turned it around when I graduated though.

Also, all throughout high school I kept hearing about these people called "girls." After a while I noticed some of them sat next to me. I probably would observe and interact more with these creatures than I did in high school.

I wouldn't pick earth and environmental science as a subject and definitely wouldn't pick two languages. The amount of times I used Spanish in french class and French in Spanish class... Well I've lost count. Would've told myself not to be shy the first year or two of highschool. I really changed and opened up a lot during high school. Oh and the obvious which is study more and pay attention in class. I easily got distracted

I would definitely been a better student and been more focused on getting good grades. Other than that I would have just been more myself and not cared about other opinions or what the "norm" is. I think being true to yourself is important at the end of the day it's just high school.

I wish I could re-do 9th grade. Everything I said/did was extremely awkward. Plus, I grew 6 inches that year so people thought I was a freak XD This is my last year of HS, thank god

Man_Over_Game · Answer

I was smart but didn't care about school or working hard unless it was fun. I think I would work harder and intentionally sought out social events with others. Adults get more and more closed off from one another. You'll never be in a more comfortable social environment than in school, so take risks while you still can.

KHaskins · Answer

I wouldn't trade my current relationship for anything, but were I to go back, I'd have tried to talk to Florence and Aisha. The two girls I had crushes on over my years in high school. Looking back, I doubt things would have worked out personality-wise with either of them, but at the time I never worked up the courage to talk to any girls, and it fed into a pattern of shyness which kept me from pursuing anyone for many years.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I'd learn more about the Xs and Os of football. I was a pretty decent player, but the mental side of the game didn't fully dawn on me til my 20s. I usually did what I was supposed to do, but I didn't know WHY I was supposed to do it.

JSmuve · Answer

I would've picked my courses a bit differently and would've tried to be more social. I came into high school in a shitty situation socially that I never really pulled myself out of. I could've taken more chances. Maybe I'd be a different person than I am now if I did.
