I disagree...adults are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY lss rearded than teenagers, oh sure idiots exist but really abitraity bullshit is way less, no one gives a shit if you play videogames or dont like partys
[quote/]So, if you're still in high school now, you get to look forward to the same bullshit for the rest of your life.[/quote] if your in highschool now dont listen to him...seriously
oh and anyone who says "its the best time of your life!" needs to be taken out back and shot...who thinks its a good Idea to say that to teenagers? thats the reason theyre depressed, your essentially saying "its all downhill from here so really killing yourself now might be an option" highschool is barley any different to prison
guess it's different in OZ since we don't have the stereotypical american jock's pounding nerds thing but in my school the cool kids were in the chess club. played basketball and had really high grades (i was one) the only time anyone got picked on or teased was if a local gang member didn't get paid for their drugs
i would love the chance to do it all again

Well you don't look so good for a 30 year old. Kind of white haired and wrinkly. Unless that person in your avatar isn't you of course.Chemical Alia said:
OT: I'm young so I may not qualify but I don't miss highschool. Being taught boring crap, lies, really stupid students, powerless and sue scared staff, etc.
I much prefer working and going to college now. In one I make money and in the other I learn useful and interesting crap and only some of it is lies!
And I have about the same amount of free time now that I did in highschool so I'm pretty content.
I'd say that's my spirit animal, but all my friends know that's Marcus Fenix. But yeah, having the flow of money going in the opposite direction is always nice after so many years of school v:Beffudled Sheep said:
Even if it's going straight out of it having money in your pocket for just a moment is pretty awesome after all that time of having none right?Chemical Alia said:
Overall I'd say no to both. I loved high school for the times I had with friends and lack of stress (bills/work).
College... wasn't that special to be honest. I just kind of went to class and came home since the school is only 15 miles from my house. Most of my friends were the ones from highschool or online so I never really bothered with my college social life.

I start Uni in about two weeks at time of writing. So while I can't really feel qualified to comment on whether or not I miss High school, let me just say this:
High school is horrific. It's still fresh in my memory, so I can say that with confidence.

In College now... So... Not really. And no to high school. I don't have any sort of issue with that time period as many seem to, it was great.. But, I'm 25 now, and it's just become such a minor timespan in my life that it doesn't really hold a place in my mind anymore.
I miss the studying in high school more than I miss high school itself. To be honest, I would actually return to high school if I was able to and I would've been a much better student than I originally was. I didnt care about studying back then, actually, I went to school mostly because I was forced to, and didnt realize the opportunities I had back then. Obviously, returning to high school is an impossible thing for a person at my current age. I dont think thats something for me to be disappointed about, as I can now work and make money and perhaps live independently at some point. Back when I was in high school, I had no idea what its like and I was dependent on my parents to take care of things for me.
Only because still being in school would validate my life right now. My life essentially living in my Dads basement and working a crappy job slinging coffee with a bunch of co-workers who actually are in highschool and Uni.
I'm trying to pay for that fancy piece of paper hanging on my wall and can't find a job in my field.... I'm all depressed now.

I'm currently at university. I certainly miss certain parts of high school. You get a lot more freedom in college, but also a lot more responsibility. If you fail it's no one's fault but your own. Overall I'd say I prefer university more because I was ready for that responsibility, but I could easily see how someone could prefer high school over university if they weren't prepared for that.
