I just wanted to add that I am too childish/immature for university and so everytime I start talking to people I think they can tell that I talk in a childish manner or something.

I actually had a pretty good time in high school, but I don't miss it for the most part.

I miss a time that I could go to class stoned and not be paranoid. I miss playing baseball. I miss my anthropology class (even though I majored in it in college, I took very few classes that were as awesome as the one I took in HS). That's about it.

I miss my senior year of high school.

I miss the friends I was finally able to make after being teased for so long...

It was fun while it lasted, but college is a lot better and I only have to deal with half of the petty girl problems that I went through in high school.

Ye...NO!

I was initially afraid to go to college because I thought it would be a continuation of the same BS. Maybe that's why I dicked around for three years instead of going straight in.

I both miss it and don't miss it. The reason why I miss it is because if I had the same attitude that I had back then, I would have passed my classes with at least a 3.5 GPA and went to a good school and finished a degree in 4-5 years. I don't miss it because of the relentless drama and how much low self esteem I had as a person back then. My view about this issue is quite mixed, you can say.

Yes, because even though my high school was a joke, if I could do it all over again I would not have lost my ambition mid-way through sophomore year(pot and alcohol took priority). If I would have simply done what I was supposed to do I could have easily scored a full ride somewhere and I would (presumably) not be dealing with the plethora of issues I deal with today. For anyone still in school, just DO YOUR WORK! It took me very little time after graduating high school(I'm 19 now) to realize that I had made a big mistake and I'm slightly ashamed of myself for it.

How's this for a weird response? No, it was hell, but if I could relive it with what I know now, I would do so in a New York second.

No, I absolutely hated high school. I enjoy college much more.

It wasn't just bullying that made me dislike high school. I also did much worse academically there than in college. I think that was mainly because in high school I was forced to take classes I didn't have any interest in and were slightly difficult for me, whereas in college, for the most part, I can focus on what I'm interested in.

One thing I will say about high school though: It was actually a little easier to make friends in high school than in college because people were generally in the same classes, and also, because in college, people are too damned independent-minded to want to bother talking to the socially awkward people like me who keep to themselves. But still, in high school, people were much ruder, so I don't miss that either. I may not socialize as much in college as I did in high school, but at least the people are nicer.

I don't miss a single thing about high school. I'd much rather progress with my life than stay back in a time where I was miserable.

For the most part no, I dont miss highschool. The only thing I miss about it is getting good grades. In college I work my ass off and my grades still suck.

I don't miss high school. I went to two different ones...I liked the first very much, but then we moved. I tried really hard to graduate early but things kept getting in the way.

Seriously. I actually had a nice little circle in my senior year. =/

I'm okay with moving on though, because I've learned to make friends a bit more easily now, and I have a couple decent one in college now too, and I even managed to keep a really unexpected one from high school, because we were both going to the same school with the same degree plan after HS. ^^

So overall.... Yeah, I still miss it, because I have a lot of friends that still haven't graduated now. .__.;... I wouldn't go back though. Or rather, I do go back, to hang out, but I wouldn't actually attend it again. xD

Hell no! I could make a really long rant about this, but to cut it short, it got so bad that I dropped out and gone for a GED. I even had nightmares for years that I would be in some sort of high school setting. That had to be one of the worst phases in my life thus far.
