Why do people say High School is the best years of your life ?

High school was enjoyable and I do miss the simplicity and easiness of it sometimes but I still prefer my life as it is now over high school.

If you're gonna get a lame ass course for college then college is gonna be better . . . High School life is what you're gonna get if you mix independence and no responsibilities together . . .

it is for some people, if you were at the top of the social food chain.

That is however speaking for high school's where that was important, which is like +90% of them.

For most people i know, high school was just that awkward phase.

I don't because I actually do my work in High School and not have parties every two days and then show up with nothing more than a fistful of poo for a semester's worth of work.

I probably miss High School football the most. Collegiate athletics lacks the sense of comradaerie and brotherhood you develop from the high school days. Playing with guys across the country on Saturdays and playing with guys you grew up with on friday nightunder the lightsare two totally different experiences. The parties after a big cross town win wasn't shabby either :P

But I disagree about High school being the best. It was certainly awesome, but college is turning out to be even better.

high school was horrible never been in so many fist fights in my life.....best thing i ever did was drop out sophmore year and grabbed a ged.

I used to think high school was awesome, but the last four years of university life have definitely been the best years of my life. I mean, I enjoyed high school, but tertiary education is on a whole other level of freedom - both socially and intellectually.

So I can't really imagine why people say that high school was better...other than perhaps they didn't go on to further studies?

because it was before they got pregnant or they have not had sex since.....

high school was pretty good to me. i wasn't in the "popular clique" or whatever you want to call it but i had some great friends and we had some great times, in and out of school. i wouldn't say my high school years were the best years of my life, but they were pretty good.

My life got good after I was done in High School. You're not old enough to do anything you want in HS. You're still restricted by your parents and teachers. God awesome.

It's a coming-of-age time. You start going out with girls, get your driver's license, etc. It may not have been all that great in hindsight, but compared to what came before - sitting at home with mom and dad - it's pretty awesome.

If High School was the best time of someones life, then they have a very sad life...

LORD_BLACKGULT

Ummm..... Ok? :?

Or maybe they had a great life at highschool, and you had a very sad childhood?

I used to think highschool sucks too, but then only later realised how easy life was back then.Tykain

I disliked high school. There were some good things, but one of the reasons I didn't like it is that I switched classes multiple times, so I didn't really have time to form longlasting friendships.

I very much prefer my university years (and sadly I'm probably in my last year), as I'm actually studying something I care about, I have more freedom to go where I want, and it's been much more pleasant on a social level.

how easy life was back then.Tykain

this alone is why it was great.

Because it should be. You're old enough to do almost anything you want, you're socially independent, and you have no responsibility. It's the perfect combination for awesome.

college should be the best years of your life not high schoolJandurin

Yes, this is it.

Some people don't go to college and miss the best years of their lives, though. Poor bastards.

Anybody who says that is a huge **** up in life.

No massive debt (college or otherwise), no responsibility, loads of free time, you get to see your friends everyday, jobs are optional...

What's so bad about it? College is more fun in my opinion, but my parents are covering pretty much all of my expenses so I don't have to work or worry about debt until I go onto grad school. However, I have a ton of more responsibility and generally more stress than I did in high school. My friends who didn't go to college have to work crappy jobs and live in pretty trashy apartments. They don't have a whole lot going for them and they have little upside. They didn't have to worry about anything like that in high school.
