I'd only go back cause I loved where I went to school - in the heart of Greenwich Village. Spending my afternoons at the Postermat, Butterfly, Flip, Unique or Bleecker Bob's, to name a few, was the best education I could have ever had. During my high school years though I was painfully shy and insecure so if it came to actually going back to school again, no way. Never. Everything has changed so much now - my school has since moved to 1st Avenue and 91st street and even the Village isn't what it used to be - it's just crawling with out-of-towners with a horrible wannabe New Yorker complex. It's lost a lot of its charm and mystique.

I imagine I would get tossed into detention for not behaving properly. I was good then - now I just can't be bothered to do what other people say if I don't see the purpose behind it. And that is high school. My 20th reunion is next year. I didn't attend the 10th; not sure about next year, though. It will likely depend on how successful I am, that I would have something to brag about and say "I'm better than you." Well, I wouldn't need to say it - my air of success would speak for itself. |

Today's kids scare me with the amount of common sense things that they don't know. This completely blows me away since this is the future. These people have to deal with advancing technology. (off topic I know) If went back to HS with my current knowledge I probably would have been more permiscuous. I was shy and I had a huge crush on this guy. I probably woulda hit that. LOL Maybe i would have taken more interest in sports-got more exercise. But more than likely I would just be the same as I was. |

Actually, I'd like to amend what I said before--I'd go back to high school for one day............for two minutes.
Because I'd like to beat the shit out of a girl who was making fun of another student in the lunch line who happened to have Down's Syndrome. She SO richly deserved it.....the kid was crying, and the harder he cried, the crueler she got. If that sounds harsh, well.......it's because I'm serious. I had given her a shove before a teacher came over to find out what was wrong.
Other than that, I was something of an awkward, shy, (ugly duckling, too) not-EVEN-rich kid who went to a school where most of the kids were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

I'd go back. I loved high school. This time, I'd finished it though, and not let crappy life things that seemed astronomical at 17 (which were life-changing but not life-ending) get the best of me and make me think quitting was the answer. To this day, it is one of the few things I truly regret. There - now you all know my dirty little secret. Hi, my name is Karri and I dropped out of High School.  (And BTW - I did try to go back but they wouldn't let me in. I was upholding an A average in honors classes but I was gone too long. I would have had to get a dr's excuse, and my mom couldn't even be bothered to go in and find out what we could do. Not to mention, the Dean of Students was a complete and utter beeyotch  ) |

Personally, I don't think I would go back not even for a day.

high school - you couldn't pay me enough money to go back to my high school days! (Except for when I was attending Duran concerts)

I'm with the majority on this board - I wouldn't go back. I hated it so much.
But then again, I hardly ever went even back then. If I were to go back in time, it would be on one of the many days I skipped, which was pretty much every day. I'd go back to the same bagel shop for breakfast and get one of their blueberry muffins - they were to die for. Then I'd walk around with my headphones on with Z-Rock blasting the hard rock tunes of the early 90s until it was time for lunch and go to the Mexican restaurant that we used to go to all the time.
I didn't graduate - I got my GED instead. Got a kickass score on it too, thank you very much. I know I got a much better score than most of the people who did graduate from there would've gotten. That school was so ghetto.
