if your life peaks at 14-18 you must have an extremely pathetic life. probably grew up in idaho trailer parks and joined the military right after highschool if it was the best time of your life.

I hated sixth form but I was responsible for my own peers. If I changed my environment, things wouldn't have been so bad but I had personal issues anyway thanks to an unstable upbringing. University was fun but in no way were they my happiest days even after getting treatment for clinical depression. I look back in this thread and see this post:
being out on my own as an adult was much better, and my life seems to get better and better the older I get.xaos
I agree 100%. I'm much happier now than I was even a year ago and I only see it getting better no matter what gets thrown at me.

High school was some of the worst years of my life. I almost ended it all my junior year...no friends, I felt worthless, teased all the time, and I was pretty bad at everything. I was flunking all my classes, I often cried myself to sleep.Bad times. :(Luckily, senior year was better, and so far college is starting off pretty well. :)

Because it's the crossroads of the end of no responsibility and the start of freedom. College and beyond can (and should) be a lot better, but there will always be negatives along with the positives. You could argue that the negatives are what makes life worth living (overcoming them, and to appreciate the positives, etc.), but there's something about the 100% care free life in high school that you can never surpass or replicate.

There's very, very little I miss about high school. I don't miss the kind of person that I was, and I don't miss the people. About all I miss is playing in concert/marching band, playing football, and singing in choir. Thing is, there's always something to learn, something new to do, and while a lot of people look back longingly on high school b/c they miss the fun times, there are new fun times and experiences to be had... one season ends, another begins. Remember the past, but don't live in it.

High school were the worst years of my life. I was bullied a lot and was also teased a lot and was made fun of because I looked different from the other kids at school. I didn't have any good friends and the two I did betrayed meand left me later on. I was pretty much an social outcast in high school.

I'd say the last 2 years of highschool were the best for me as i was one of those at the top of the food chain and i had alot more success with girls then and barely anyone ****** with me.

Now in University its abit hard i'm just always busy like always busy and only do something social with friends like once a fortnight.

But its still pretty good,

I love high school. Every day it's something new. I love the interactions I have with people. I don't mean to sound condescending at all, but I go to a private school. only about 300 kids go to my school, so you know almost everyone. People who I have met who went to public always seem to have a bad experience. Also, it's what you make of it and the attitude you bring to it. Go in with a great attitude and it will work out. Go in hating it, then you will hate it

because your still a teen, old enough to do pretty much anything you want ( depending on parents/ community ) albeit illegally for the most part while still being young enough that you dont have to worry about bills or pretty much anything other then school i can understand how to some it might not sound like it should be the best days of your life but youll realize it when your old enough to have to deal with real issues's

I mean, it really dosen't seem all that great to me.

I just had my wallet stolen today, I work at a freaken supermarket, which is incredibly boring and dull.

I personally just can't wait until next year when I'm free to study at uni and work in better and more exciting jobs and go travelling and meet nice women.

Combination of little responsibility, feeling of indestructability, and a load of 'new' experiences condensed into a short time frame - many people will never have such a flurry of new experiences ever again, hence it can be an amazing voyage of discovery, and therefore for some the best time life can offer. Sure with age we get wisdom/responsibility/comfort with ourselves that may mean we're happier in general, but getting drunk, delving into a smorgasbord of mind altering substances, getting down to some serious rumpy pumpy etc for the first time is one to be cherished.

Unoless you were bullied that is.

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.

I didn't like high school either, I too was excited to get out of there and go to college. Now that I'm college, it's exactly like high school only there are fewer people I know.

lol it definetly wanst the best years for me! I guess it depends on your luck and outlook in High School. My school was small and extremely cruddy. I was a shy kid coming into High School, and school only made me worse off. Days flew by without me even realizing it. I was bored of my classes, since they were so easy. I hated my peers since they were immature and stupid (though I'm sure the tides have turned over time). They hated me back for...I guess being shy. They didn't understand that, so they assumed I hated them (I thought their antics were violent and retarded, but I still wanted to make a good impression).

The best time I had in High School was

a) being alone. I ditched school a lot in my last 2 years. Came to be counted for attendance and left. I left to go to the library to study for Regents exams (that didnt mean **** anyway) and SAT exam (which also didnt mean much since I could only afford public universities). Exploring the city and going into neighborhoods my parents would kill me if they knew. Taking long walks and philosophising about pointless **** It was fun. I actually don't think I'll ever have that sort of freedom again. I

b) hanging with ma gf and friends outside of high school.

Truth is that High School is a confusing and annoying point in time. You're both mature enough to do things on your own, yet too immature to make your own decisions about life. Plus, the people around you are more likely to be even more immature than you are (you are at least asking about it. Most people in High School don't reflect on ****).

Save that energy for college. Go to a large University and have fun. Get involved in school and thow water balloon condoms at your roomates in dorms. Play Smash Bros for 2 days straight. Drink 10 jello shots at a frat party. Do well enough on your SAT's (I was the unfortunate victim of the 1st Writing parts that mattered...I'm sure they've devised a ton of counters for those by now). Find yourself in college.

Its your last year in HS, right? Look at it as your last year of freedom from responsability. Nothing you do in terms of grades besides SAT/ACT will matter. Do well enough and ditch. Ditch often. Smoke some weed. Do whatever fills your hearts content that doesn't get you killed or arrested.

Honestly 1-12 is probably the best years of your life....highschool isn't exactly great for everybody and after the world can hit really hard so it kind of all goes down hill until retirement unless you're smart.

I feel that if you think High School was the best years of your life, then I'm sorry but you did something wrong to feel that way. If four years of your adolscent years were the best compared to your twenty, thirties, fourties, fifties, sixties, etc. then something is truely wrong. I could not have been more estatic to leave High School and move on to University which is much better than High School. I actually look forward to the years ahead in my life, it will be exciting to get a career, do something you love for years on end, and have financial freedom.

I never really liked high school. Apart from a few friends, I didn't reall fit in. I felt that the majority of people I encountered were shallow and rather unlikeable. Aside from sports and general lack of responsibility, there was nothing redeeming about my years in high school.

I certainly don't think high school comprised the best years of my life. College is much better, and gets even better when you get past all the general education crud and are able to focus solely on your major (especially if it's a major you love having).

I wouldn't say it's the best years of your life but they're some of the best. High school is a time when you don't have too much stress, but are old enough to start living with some more freedom. If you ask me though, college is better (minus the stress part).

I've always wandered that. I sure as hell couldn't wait for those 4 years to fly by. Biggest waste of my time.

I can tell. I don't know about "high school..." but being 17 and 10 months old was probably the best time of my life. I worked in a record store, and all I did was party and get laid. Now I work for a robotics company and am responsible for million dollar orders, pay 20 dollars for a beer at some lame club, and ask my girlfriend if I can touch her boobs once a week. She usually says no :(.
