High school was really frustrating at the time but since reaching adulthood I can't help but look back and wonder how everything was just so easy.

Regrets

 

[Teptom]

If I talked a bit more, it would have gone a whole lot better.

[ClassyPenguin]

Boredom.

 

[alphaNoid]

Fun, friends, girls, in shape, memories.

 

[Kusagari]

I learned absolutely nothing and should have applied myself more but it was a much better experience than middle school and I found a group of people I'm still friends with years later.

 

[Trouble]

Too smart for my own good.

 

[AwesomePossum]

ghost, but at least i wasn't bullied like i was in middle school!

 

[VALIS]

High, drunk, always clowning.

 

[Droplet]

Emotional curve that looked like a sine wave and all my work was done at the last minute.

...I guess nothing's changed.

 

[pubba]

I was a hideous freak (pale, cystic acne that eventually needed specialist treatment, glasses, braces and a lazy eye) but I avoided being bullied or worse by being the class clown.

 

[Bombadil]

There was a girl I had a crush on for 4 years and I never spoke to her and it ruined me.

 

[Mariolee]

Didn't start until Senior Year.

 

[KevinCow]

I was miserable and lonely, everybody hated me, and I wanted to die.

 

[Alex Anderson]

When I look back at HS I feel incredibly sad and bitter about what a lonely time it was for me, thinking what could have been for me academically, socially, etc. those four years and beyond had I not gotten Encephalitis as a Freshman and spent the entirety of HS completely drained requiring ungodly amounts of sleep, having zero meaningful social life, alienating friends with uncharacteristic behavior due to medicine I didn't want to be on not agreeing with me, and having to complete most of my schoolwork in-home with tutors.

 

[AcridMeat]

Can I use a song?

 

[Mushroomer25]

I tried to make the most of it but still have countless regrets.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Fat. Shitty.

 

[Strike]

Something that's better left in the past where it belongs.

 

[Piggus]

Lots of friends, great teachers, and an overall awesome experience but I regret being a wimp when it came to asking out girls.

 

[Blearth]

Hot Asian girls as far as the eye could see.

They only dated Asian guys.

Spoiler

I don't care if that's two sentences!

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did *was* wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.

 

[BrightEyedPanic]

I remember getting picked on and made fun of a lot, but I did okay as far as academics and I loved my extra-curricular classes.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

I can't believe this person is a teacher.

 

[hgarrett54]

Never went to high school.

(No, wasn't homeschooled either)

 

[Conor_Fool]

I figured out about psychedelic mushrooms and stopped being a total piece of shit, though I can definitely still be one at times.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

A whole lot of nothing.

 

[AniHawk]

a huge fucking waste of my time.

 

[alba]

Missed opportunities.

Yep, pretty much this.

Obese.

And.. this.

 

[buy teh haloz]

Shit.

 

[strata8]

Within a year my self esteem and grades had hit rock bottom, and by graduation I'd failed all my classes and was miserable, friendless, and contemplating suicide.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Skate skate skate

 

[nephilimdj]

immature and never offered help, even when seeked.

 

[Ice 9]

Pretty good, but you always wish you started things sooner.

 

[Jadedx]

I got on the honor roll, I slept, I got into an argument with a teacher, I got kicked out.

 

[Corky]

Regrets

Ding ding ding ding.

 

[Diprosalic]

Awkward.

 

[toastyToast]

Good times, good grades, I was in good shape.

Spoiler

Shit was good

 

[jaxword]

Moobs.

 

[FYC]

I was miserable and lonely, everybody hated me, and I wanted to die.

That'll cover it. I thought about killing myself every single day for the majority of it and came close twice.

 

[beje]

Shit sucks, but at least I had some friends to be stupid with.

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I despised every second of my high school years due to depression, anxiety, and migraines.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Nobody shared the same interests as I did and the ones that did were annoying and/or awful people.

This could be said about my college experience so far as well.

 

[Herne]

Very few friends (started together with one that later became too hip to be seen anywhere near me, another that buggered off to join the Air Corps. mid-way through, another that was a year below me) - only one I shared a few classes with.

As a side note, it's weird seeing people be friendly to me now when all they did back then was laugh. Oh sure, we're all smiling easy with each other now as we were back then, right?

 

[Whiskeymatt]

It was alright, I guess.

 

[Vyrance]

So much fun

 

[Trin]

Sup melodramatic idiots, I won't remember any of your names a year after graduation.
