Does anyone miss it?

[BoarderDave]

High school. Anybody wish they could be back living at home rent free and still in high school?

 

[Tuffguy]

No way. I hate dependance and love independance. I can't stand people telling me what to do.

 

[Beautiful Fireball]

Yes and no. It was nice having things paid for but I like my independence, and my parents were way too strict.

 

[danstar]

i liked having things paid for but i love the independence i have from my job

 

[HolyOne87]

i def. dont miss HS..i'd rather pay for my own things, then go back to HS and go through hazing all over again.
Like others said, I also like my independence as well.

How about you boarderdave?

 

[BoarderDave]

Me? I, like the rest of you, absolutely LOVE my independence. I also love the self worth I feel at my personal achievements and what not. I do however miss the people and the interraction of high school. I was always meeting people and I got to do a lot of fun things without thinkin much of what I HAD to do; more of what I WANTED to do.

I dont think I would really like to go back and do it again or anything.. it was enjoyable. But all in all Im happy with where I am.

 

[koban4max]

hate hs. lol.

 

[PeculiarTreasure]

I didn't like HS. I wouldn't go back.

Its a sometimes thing...lol Sometimes I miss ( Mainly because my closests friends) and but most of the time, I don't...lol

 

[Bubba1301]

Honestly, I didn't hate high school... I was one of those tough guys who "ran" the school. However, I wouldn't want to give up my independence and also in high school I was not at all seeking God, I bore the title of Christian, but I lived far removed from it. So, no I wouldn't want to go back.

 

[Shyguyelite]

High school.

Heck no. I wouldn't trade all my current experiences and growth physically mentally and somewhat spiritually for free food and board.

...though I miss how relatively easy high school was academically compared to college.

The only thing I miss are the people, though when I think back we were all somewhat immature. I doubt I could take that any more.

High school. Anybody wish they could be back living at home rent free and still in high school?

Yes and no.

No:

Being back in high school would mean that I had to be lead by everyone and ask permission to do ANYTHING. I was also always grounded and miserable at home. I love being the boss of me now LOL! (other than God, He can be the boss of me )

Sure, bills aren't the funnest, but I would MUCH rather have bills to pay and my own freedom than no bills and no freedom.

Yes:

I miss being around and living close to all of my friends. I also miss the vocal music and drama classes and shows we'd put on.

I miss eating lunch in the stairwell (instead of the cafeteria) with my friends. The acoustics were GREAT in there. We'd sing in harmony all lunch hour.

 

[BoarderDave]

Great responses everyone. I think the general response so far is:

Miss high school for the social aspect..
Do NOT miss high school for EVERY other aspect.

 

[CroCop]

High school? Yes and no but leaning heavily towards no..I don't miss it. What I do miss was the fact that you were a teenager and school was meant for fun (if you were cool) or if you weren't then education. I miss being able to afford to fool around most of the time but then it ends up costing you in the long-run. The things I miss most was stuff like that.

What I don't miss is everything else. Drama, social cliques, the usual nonsense.

The only thing I miss about H.S. are the memories of bible club or being the star track and field athlete of the school. Other then that I don't miss H.S. I enjoy living on my own now because of my independence. I got tired of my mom controlling me so I moved out 6 months ago. I couldn't handle the stress anymore. I am doing okay now.

 

[Nautica]

eekkkkkkk no!

 

[faithgirl]

I am not out of high school yet but I will be in about 2 1/2 months. I know that I am going to miss it. I am going to miss all of my friends and people that I talk with! I am going to miss how close most of us are and the small community feeling we have because of being in a small town. This is the town I was raised in! We have all went through so much together. In one way I am soo excited to get out and be in a huge city ( i will be ) but I am absolutly terrified. I will have to gain lots of independence that is for sure.

Mostly, I will miss my two best best friends. They have been my friends basically since birth and I don't know how we are going to be able to say bye. I am getting tears thinking about it!!

 

[Someguyouknow]

Cant say i do miss it. It seems like it went by fast. I dont think i gain all that i was suppose to during those years.

How about you boarderdave?

Yeah, same here. I do miss not having financial worries though.

 

[Kristin364]

No way! I love my independence! My parents were super-strict and I never quite fit in...most of my graduating class consisted of partiers/drinkers
