If you could go back to high school, what would you do differently?

Answer 1

Whoa & eeek! Just got a flashback of a pimple I had that was the size of a mountain!

I did sports but I would have taken them more seriously.

I would have planned for the future/college better.

I would have tried to break out of my depression n shyness.

But......I say that I would make those changes but I was just too depressed and shy to make that effort back then. I just wanted out. Having said what changes I'd make, I'm not sure I would change anything if I could, really. All the pain of those times really shaped me into someone I'm really happy with today. Somehow those obstacles were necessary.

Ur on a roll! good questions.

Answer 2

I would go out for a sport. I was smart and "artistic" (president of our drama club), but I could have been athletic, as well. Because of the clique system, I pretended to disdain the "jocks" (who, of course, were pretending to scorn us drama geeks). Although, at one point in my thirties I was able to run the "Bay to Breakers" San Francisco race (I completed in the slightly more than eight mile course in just under two hours), I have battled obesity my entire adulthood. If physical activity had been part of my life from teen years, perhaps I wouldn't now be facing bypass surgery and hip replacement.

In any event, regardless of the outcome, if I had it to do over again, I'd try my hardest to break through the cliques and create crossovers.

Answer 3

I've always been more emotionally mature than my biological age, but if I could do HS again knowing what I know now, I would be more socially confident and less shy. Shyness is basically being oversensitive to what other people might think of you. After HS, I grew out of my shyness once I grew more self-confident in my individuality.

Also, I would probably like to try to establish a freethinker club to educate my fellow students on rational thought and the pitfalls of believing in superstitions.

Answer 4

Not a damn thing. I was a loner. I had very few friends. I grew up. It had to be. I never got laid. I made many mistakes. Those mistakes weren't made so that I could have a second chance not to make them again. The result of my mistakes are having learned from then. I continue to falter in life. Now is the time for me to rectify the past, or die. I wouldn't change a damn thing. All that matters, is now.

Answer 5

properly, i might pay greater interest. i might attempt to prevail in my finished skill and easily use my techniques. i does not decrease college fairly lots. Even attend training, and attempt to make sturdy grades. Oh heck, who am I kidding!?!?! of direction i does not! i might do it precisely like I did it the 1st time. No, i do no longer omit extreme college in any respect. no longer one little itty bitty bit. All i wanted back then became into to strengthen up so there does not be as many human beings attempting to tell me what to do. I hated being below such a lot of thumbs and all of their regulations. some human beings did no longer even have the experience to regulate their very own lives. Now, I answser to God first, and myself 2nd. I stay below His regulations, and my regulations. and that i'm happy being an grownup. Nope, i do no longer omit extreme college or something approximately it.

Answer 6

I have always wondered what it would have been like to go to the school in my neighborhood where my friends from junior high went instead of the school I transferred to.

Answer 7

its so interesting to see how many people answered this question. lets see... what would i have done differently..... hhhmmmm..... i would have had more confidence in myself. but i can only say that looking back. i was cute and didn't always know it. smart and didn't always feel it. but that's high school, even though i had a big social life and got good grades i always knew that life was going to get better and better. and it did. i now feel sorry for those who 'peaked' back in high school. thanks for the question.

Answer 8

Chilled out more about grades, try to get along with my parents better, party less, and I would stick up more for the little people. I never made fun of other kids, but I didn't defend them like I wish now I did.

Answer 9

Beg my parents to send me away to an entirely different high school than the one I went to, preferably one outside of the US.

Answer 10

i would make different friends and give everyone a fighting chance alot of people i never spoke to in high school i speak to them now when i see them. so definentaly be more open and enjoy the no working status.
