Would you do high school all over again?

[PryncessChrysty]

If you could go back to age 14 and relive all four years of high school, would you?

If you would, would you do it just the same? Or would change it? What would you want to change?

I don't have any real regrets about my high school experience, I had a pretty good high school life. But I would do it again, and there are a couple of things I would do differently. I would have done more homework, applied myself more. Joined more clubs. I did play sports, but I opted out my senior year. I wouldn't skip out on that a second time around. There are also a few friends I would have made sure to keep in contact with. There are a couple that I still talk to, but 2 or 3 that I wish I still did.

Oh my gosh, NO! Once was bad enough.

YES! Academically, I would of done much better, I would of learned STUDY SKILLS. My big downfall, is I blew off studying, and because of it, I would of gotten eaten alive in a College, because I do not know how to study.

Many things I would change, but I would not change my overall experience, the 1st two years for tough, a new school, getting to know new kids, but the last two years were the best years of my life! I had so much fun in HS.

High School---No Way!

College--Yes. That was such a great time, both socially and for personal growth.

Some of highschool I would do over. I definitely wouldn't have been such a "wild child". I know I drove my mom crazy and upset her so many times, I would change that part for sure. I would have taken my classes seriously and worried less about having a boyfriend. Some of highschool I enjoyed, some of it I didn't.

No, but I'd do college over again.

Not if my life depended on it. Even knowing what I've learned since then, I wouldn't go back. It was a horrible experience and about the worst times of my life.

NO WAY!

No way!!!

Yes, I would do HS over again. I had such a blast! There would only be one thing that I would change and that's the guy I dated for three years. Other than that I would leave everything the way it was. College was even more of a blast!

I would, especially knowing what I know now. I liked high school - not all of it, but enough of it to remember fondly. If I did it over, I'd be more outgoing and less afraid of failure. I'd keep the same friends (who I'm still friends with today, 23 years later). My HS class was great, and a lot of us are still very friendly. If someone comes back to town to visit, a bunch of us go out and meet up. My husband and I were good friends in HS (we didn't date till we were 23, though).

Yes!!!!! I absolutely LOVED my 4 years of high school. The school that I went to was a large prep. school, and it was WONDERFUL. I loved the classes, the people, the activities...I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat The only thing that I'd do differently would be to request a different "college counselor". Mine was jerk. She actually told me something along the lines of "girls shouldn't be engineers". I should have requested a change then and there. I did go on to become an engineer, so I guess that it didn't matter in the long run.

 

[auntpolly]

No way! You can't make me!

 

[Beanie]

No, I wouldn't do all those years over again, but I wouldn't mind doing my Senior Year over again! What a great year that was!

 

[WDWLVR]

Sure I'd do it over again and yes there are some things I'd change. It wasn't the best years of my life, but I learned some lessons back then. No regrets however and I'm happy with my life as it is.

 

[Serena]

Oh boy, I did learn a lot during those years. But there are a few things I would absolutely change if I could.

I would do it again. I had a great time in highschool, but I think I would have applied myself more, been more outgoing(I have tons of friends, just very shy) and joined more sports. I played sports, just not as many as I could have. I also would have gone out for plays my freshman year instead of waiting until I was a junior.

I often think about what it would be like to go back to highschool - now that I know what I know
