As soon as I got out of school I have found it difficult to meet people. Sometimes I wish I could go back even though back when I was in school I was ready to be done with it.

No. I hated school.

The last day of high school, to this day, was one of the happiest days of my life.

I struggled in skewl aLOT due to dyslexia & other related learning disabilities. I hated it soo much that I had NO desire at all to go to college & I never regretted that decision. I don't really miss skewl thou I do miss seeing a couple friends I had.

Hearing bells ring every hour? No way!

The fire alarm being set off every other week on purpose by the kids? No way!

Having to do boring homework and revision? No way!

Having to face hundreds of teenagers every day? No way!

Being picked on when walking home from school? No way!

Having no friends? No way!

No way would I want to go back to school. I don't miss a minute of high school.

Does currently going to a school disqualify me from answering this?

Either way, I'll say that I don't miss any of the previous schools I went to. Not elementary, not high school, not even university. I do miss the people I met, especially in uni, but not the schools themselves. Even if I'm supposedly chasing a pipe dream that's bound to fail, I don't regret dropping out of uni to pursue a career in music. For once, I really feel as though I know what I want to do with my life.

No. I like to learn things but, at this age, I don't want to be tested and graded. I like being able to do activities that don't involve working for grades.

No. I know I am in school, but even with my charter school that I love, I hate the limitations on what you can accomplish as a teen.

If I was to go back to a normal school, heck no, never, That is a horrifying thought.

I never really had friends in school and I was bullied for several years so I definietely have a better social life now but it does happen that I miss certain time periods in school that were pretty good or that I miss the overall feeling of security, always having to go there everyday and always knowing what to do. It's been a struggle finding the right job.

So both yes and no.
