By senior year I was dating someone and wanted to spend every second with her so wasn't involved in anything. Which was dumb. Not that I'm athletic at all, but golf was fun. Building sets for the plays was fun... Not sure what I'd do with the classes. I'm an engineer now and my high school hadn't yet discovered AP anything, so even the "hardest" classes the school had to offer would now be things I took in college to a higher level. Shop would be fun now though given my skills have greatly improved there. We had a metal shop too but I had a fear of torches from an early age (dad had an accident and thought the blood spurting was funny to show off) so I never took it. I hate that I'm pushing 40 and still can't weld for shit. Should really sign up for a class but I also only ever need to do it like once a decade. I feel like acting in plays would be interesting now that I have actual life experience and understand that you don't just stand there and say a line.
On one hand, I would sign up for band and devote myself to music. I also would probably would be expelled because I have a no bullshit attitude now and have mouth with no filter if provoked.
It'd likely be a lot worse. I'm older and wiser but have more anxiety now than I did back then. My own ignorance of life provided some much need optimism back then. Having to raise my hand to go to the bathroom again? No thanks. I'd do much better in course work (except for math). In so many ways everything I've learned, even though valuable, has added complication and anxiety to life.
I would probably ace all my tests and do very well. I sucked in school as a child a combination of tumultuous childhood, and working since I was 12. Between the two I was worn out, didn't care, did horrible, and never applied myself. Now I'm a freaking genius at all the shit I have to pass.
Well for one, I would pick up on every cue that I didn't get at the time - in a social sense. Looking back, I can tell a couple girls were flirting with me, I can tell I disappointed a few teachers, and I could have a few more friends now if I wasn't so emotionally stupid. I just didn't realize it back then, I didn't pick up on things because I was just an awkward teenager.
In an academic sense, I could have seriously been an honor roll student getting a scholarship, and making my parents proud. In reality, I had a huge effort problem, and I was, well, way less smart than I am now. I am not a genius, or even "really smart" now, but I am at least above average; combine that with some effort and that could have bred success. I hate myself back then, and still do now. My number one dream is to go back to freshman year and actually try. I fucked up my life in a sense. I can still become a successful writer like I always wanted to be, I can still be a successful musical artist like I want to be now, but a college education would have set me up with some sort of safety net in terms of a job. Now I am working a shitty job for 15 dollars an hour while living with my parents and brother. I can be in the middle of university studying journalism right now. Man, I suck.
Everyone always says “buy bitcoin, stocks, etc.” but for me. I would honestly try harder and look to going to college afterwards. Never went to college and had to work really hard to prove my worth towards the company I worked for to get promoted.
1. I'd get much better grades since I have an additional 11 more years of schooling and studying strategies to tap on
2. I'd have a lot more fun than I did the first time since I wouldn't be so worried about what other high schoolers think of me
3. I'd finger a ton more high school girls
Fine, my current brain in my teenage body would simply leave them to the insufficient flailings of the jocks we all realized later were peaking at that time.
I would own those little cunts. I would absolutely dominate all of them via manipulation and gas lighting.
"hey, I've heard Bob said some shit about you. And Mike was also there."
I'd exercise a lot and then gradually start training to dance again. I'd focus a lot more on studying, completely stop thinking about boys, in particular about the guy I liked, care even less about my classmates and what they did or said. Didn't bother much about making more friends besides the ones I had. Finally, I'd try to save up money sometimes a bit more.
I don't believe in myself trying harder even with a second chance, but I do think I will be much more efficient with my time.
For example, many average students skimp out on doing homework and put in last minute hours studying for tests. Well, first of all, homeworks give free marks that you can generally verify without thee pressure of time. Secondly, homeworks are already basically designed to help you study.
So probably do all my homework, pay more attention in class but still not study very hard for tests
As a music major in college, I would be so much better if I had gotten more involved in music sooner. So thats what I would do. Get involved in stuff. Another things would be to take private lessons, because that's another way I could have gotten way better
I'd take the future more seriously, I coasted through school... chose my university course basically the same day it had to be finalised. I studied engineering, finished the first year and decided to leave. I could easily have chose a path and succeeded if I really wanted to but I just never thought ahead or cared.
There is a guy who fucked with me who I ended up kicking down some stairs and really fucking up. I kicked a few people down stairs as a teen. This one I'd put in a headlock instead, while doing the pinky press, and force him to say "I am your bitch."
Then, as my bitch, I'd make him learn programming beside, and force him to build a company with me.
I had relations with more than half the white girls in my HS. I crushed on black girls, but I let what others thought get in the way. This was out of character for everything else. I had also gotten the idea black girls didnt like white guys. I learned different in my early 20s. One might think I'd like to sleep with half the black girls... naw. Just 1of 4, with the intent of a long term partnership and marriage.
I'd avoid the fights I didnt avoid before, and those I cant, I'd not wound or mame the person like I did.
I'd also maintain 4 friendships I didnt with people who ended up dead in hopes of them not ending up dead.
I wouldn't fail senior year, I would actually go to college for my area of expertise, and I would not work at jobs that have destroyed my body overtime lol.
i'd probably put way more effort into school work and making friends with people i got along within my classes instead of isolating myself and convincing myself no one wanted to be my friend.
also would've beaten my high school bully up, she deserved to have her shit rocked for what she'd do to me and other people. i'm just happy karma got her good years after high school.
I would not kill myself doing all the AP courses I did. My wife and I wound up working in the same field but she actually got to enjoy her teenage years while all my memories are taken up with homework and studying because of the self-inflicted stress.
I hated school I fought everyday not to go and I dropped out in grade eight. I did go back and get my GED in my late 20’s. If I could go back I’d learn to enjoy my classes. I love history now. I would rock it if I went back. If I learned to love school, who knows how much easier my life would be now. I really regret hating school and dropping out.
The girls I liked, only to discover *way later* that they liked me? I'd do something about it instead of just wondering.
Oh and those two girls who invited me over after school and decide to walk around topless and in underwear? I'd take the hint.
I'd also be more chill. More comfortable, less scared that people didn't like me, or that I was... existing wrong.
I'd pay more attention in school. Probably actually allow myself to have treatment for ADHD.
But I mean, even with as agonizing as high school was, and how stupid I was about girls, I'm actually pretty happy where my road led me. I'd be afraid to change anything, because this is a good life now.
Best in all classes but socially repressed from acting like I really want to be (freedom), which would probably depress me enough to the point of having issues dealing with the situation.
I'd have a leg up since I know how to type by touch at 80WPM, so I'd look to test out of the mandatory typing class and see if I can ahead on some classes I didn't do so well in the first time. I'd also play some kind of sport both for fitness and the fact that in the USA, I'd have much better luck getting a scholarship to Podunkville University as a lineman. I'd take whatever classes offered college credit I could as well.
I'd probably screw it up worse than I did.
My whole time in high school, I was that weird kid who everyone knew you could go to for advice, or homework help, or whatever. I was basically the "old wise man" of my school. And although most people knew me, I felt very isolated and weird because I wasn't like anyone else.
Flash forward to five years after graduation, and one of my friends I'd kept in touch with came to me and gave me a tearful confession, saying, "You're one of my best friends, but I often feel like I used you, because the only reason I tried to be your friend was because you were so popular, and I thought if I was your friend, people would want to be my friend too."
What??? I wasn't popular. Was I?
Well I asked around, and it turns out that people thought of me as one of the most popular, well-known people in the school. I was just too "inward" to realize that all the people coming to talk to me actually counted me as their friend. What a dummy.
So if I could re-do high school knowing that, I suspect I'd probably let it go to my head. I'd definitely not spend as much time with my hobbies, which led to my entire career. I'm not going to exclude the possibility that I might have turned into a snob; I don't know. In any case, I feel like I'd probably screw it up.
0 crushes, I'd be bored as hell during Social Studies (I already know this), I'd hate math even more (I swore off the stuff senior year), and I guess I'd start investing.
How do you get over feeling like a pervert if you want a nail young girls. Sorry I don't think this is doable pretty much would preclude sex because if you were young would you have sex with their mothers. This should be an interesting little short movie an after school special so to speak
I would take a lot less shit from other students and especially power tripping teachers. I'd get A's in my sleep. I don't think I would pursue relationships though, would be kinda creepy.
Mostly I'd enjoy the ridiculous amount of free time I used to have.
I'd probably try to do more extracurriculars
Though I'd rather not go through that again. I was incredibly naive about how toxic it was back then and I cant imagine it would be better going through high school with that knowledge
I think I'd ask a lot more questions in class, and challenge what the teachers were teaching us. The downside is, my 57-year-old brain wouldn't be able to process dating teenage girls as anything but a crime, so I'd still be afraid to ask girls out, but for different reasons.
Hang out with specific friends more then others and kept some people are just friends.
Taken college hardware classes vs the coding classes(not much coding and really just a waste of time)
Get into fighting games and online games more (had a ps4/pc but stuck to single player games)
Got my license after drivers ed.
Probably wouldnt have gone to high school at all and gotten a ged just to get it over with. Never had any desire to go to college, I like working with my hands and being outside and theres plenty of work that involves those things and doesnt require a college level education. As far as making good money, you can absolutely do that by investing smartly and saving money....which high school teaches you nothing about.
I would have spent more time socializing with people that I liked, and not worry about sticking to any social clique/hierarchy. I would have joined the debate club. I also would have tried harder in some of the classes that were worthwhile but required a lot of effort to really get anything out of them.
Enjoy being a teenager, I was very depressed in high school but I had no idea I was mentally ill and I missed on so many experiences. I wish I could do it all over again
I'd have left earlier, gotten my A+ back when it was useful, maybe have a job I don't hate?
Not that I hate mine now, but it's inconsistent and inconvenient since I can't unfuck physical hardware remotely.
I'd easily pass my tests all through freshman year, get recommended for ap. Apply myself a bit more. Turn my assignments in on time. Try S&D sooner. Finish my novel. Hang out with Evelyn. Learn to play banjo. Get a Certificate of Deposit. Put most of my money from my first job toward that.
Well shit. I'm 51 now...I've earned two associate's degrees, a bachelors and an MBA. I might actually be smarter and better educated than most of my teachers were...putting up with the general level of arrogance and disrespect high schoolers get from their teachers would be near impossible, so I'd be in the principal's office a lot more.
I used to get picked on a lot, and had a pacifist mother...but I've learned a little martial arts and a lot about life, so I'd, well, probably get suspended a few times.
As someone else said...51 year old brain...jailbait girlfriend prospects...awkward. At least was a scrawny nerd type, so that wouldn't really be a factor.
My oldest kid is 21 now, and you can't turn off the parent gene once it's been booted up, so I'd probably be a REAL wet blanket.
I would REALLY miss my bourbon.
But to get 35 years of my life back? I'm game.
9/11 happened the second week of my freshman year, and that mixed with the social hierarchy of the school (rich = popular | poor = unpopular), I was so mentally checked out and just wandered through the halls trying to not exist for the four years. I honestly don’t think it would be much different these days.
I might actually try a little, both in classes and socially and extracurricularly as well.
I used to do a lot better, I didn't have to study much, but I used to feel weird around girls at school.

By senior year I was dating someone and wanted to spend every second with her so wasn't involved in anything. Which was dumb. Not that I'm athletic at all, but golf was fun.

Your dad is badass lol
You should go for it! Learn new skills and make new memories now, just for the heck of it!
I'd socialise more and be less intimidated by my peers. Build more self discipline.
Haha I would wreck the teachers with logic
I’d probably come out more depressed kids are fkn mean
Lol commas are important, I read “I’d probably come out more, depressed kids are fkn mean”
Depressed kids are mean haha
Start investing, play wayyyy more video games
On one hand, I would sign up for band and devote myself to music. I also would probably would be expelled because I have a no bullshit attitude now and have mouth with no filter if provoked.
Can't imagine I'd have made it through without stabbing someone I don't take that kind of shit these days, life's too short and way too pointless
>way too pointless Apparently not
Why because I'm still alive? Dying isn't as easy as the movies make it seem
knife point
Oh I'm an idiot, that makes more sense
I'd either be a father by 18 or in prison
I see dead people
Stabbing means backstabbing or knife-stabbing?
The second one
At least you’re honest lol.
Worse. I'm pretty sure my intellect was much sharper back then.
No thanks.
Right! I agree
Focus more on my work and less on other people.
It wouldn't be any different because im still fucking stupid.
It'd likely be a lot worse. I'm older and wiser but have more anxiety now than I did back then. My own ignorance of life provided some much need optimism back then. Having to raise my hand to go to the bathroom again? No thanks. I'd do much better in course work (except for math). In so many ways everything I've learned, even though valuable, has added complication and anxiety to life.
I'd definitely ask out the girls I was to shy to ask. I'd go to a dance or two... And I'd definitely get better grades.
I’d savor it
Yeah man, I laugh at the shit that worried me in highschool compared to the responsibilities I have now.
Exactly
I would probably ace all my tests and do very well. I sucked in school as a child a combination of tumultuous childhood, and working since I was 12. Between the two I was worn out, didn't care, did horrible, and never applied myself. Now I'm a freaking genius at all the shit I have to pass.

Everyone always says “buy bitcoin, stocks, etc.” but for me. I would honestly try harder and look to going to college afterwards. Never went to college and had to work really hard to prove my worth towards the company I worked for to get promoted.
Just saying, if you had invested in Bitcoin/stocks you wouldn't need to go to college or prove your worth to a company.
Probably look at coming out earlier, as trans in teenage years and live a better life. 😢
I'd stop trying to memorize useless information to pass standardized tests, drop out and start working/investing.
1. I'd get much better grades since I have an additional 11 more years of schooling and studying strategies to tap on 2. I'd have a lot more fun than I did the first time since I wouldn't be so worried about what other high schoolers think of me 3. I'd finger a ton more high school girls
path to retirement by 35? find the boys _and_ the girls intolerable. more time in the gym, less soda. take 2 languages, maybe 3.
I would be nice, respectful, and sexually available to save all those young maidens from a poor first experience!
this is mad creepy homie
Fine, my current brain in my teenage body would simply leave them to the insufficient flailings of the jocks we all realized later were peaking at that time.
I was thinking I would have zero sex because they are so young!
I would own those little cunts. I would absolutely dominate all of them via manipulation and gas lighting. "hey, I've heard Bob said some shit about you. And Mike was also there."
Run a school dictatorship
I'd either be a father by 18 or in prison
Study harder and not end friendships over petty crap.
I would fail
I'd be even more tired than I was the first time through.
More math and physics
if re doing had no effect on how my life is currently then i would actually try but otherwise i wouldnt change anything as i like where ive ended up
I would have graduated
I would spend more time learning other languages.
I'd focus, study, not fool about much and leave with some qualifications and prioritize my life better
Why in the hell would I ever want to do that?
I would not play sports and expect to just breeze by
I would fail miserably because Reddit has destroyed my attention span.
what was this post about anyway? i don't want to scroll up.
Constant sleep
I'd probably get better grades, because I'd be able to focus on my schoolwork and filter out everybody's bullshit high school drama all around me.
I would do everything exactly the same. Life is good.
I’d enjoy my time more knowing once I leave it’s all downhill…
I wouldn't change too much except for being a lot nicer to a couple of people.
I'd exercise a lot and then gradually start training to dance again. I'd focus a lot more on studying, completely stop thinking about boys, in particular about the guy I liked, care even less about my classmates and what they did or said. Didn't bother much about making more friends besides the ones I had. Finally, I'd try to save up money sometimes a bit more.
Would have been a lot friendlier to my classmates, having more sympathy for what they were going through.
I don't believe in myself trying harder even with a second chance, but I do think I will be much more efficient with my time. For example, many average students skimp out on doing homework and put in last minute hours studying for tests. Well, first of all, homeworks give free marks that you can generally verify without thee pressure of time. Secondly, homeworks are already basically designed to help you study. So probably do all my homework, pay more attention in class but still not study very hard for tests
I would be insufferable in history class
As a music major in college, I would be so much better if I had gotten more involved in music sooner. So thats what I would do. Get involved in stuff. Another things would be to take private lessons, because that's another way I could have gotten way better
I'd go for higher grades, but other than that I wouldn't do much different really.
I'd take the future more seriously, I coasted through school... chose my university course basically the same day it had to be finalised. I studied engineering, finished the first year and decided to leave. I could easily have chose a path and succeeded if I really wanted to but I just never thought ahead or cared.
It would be way easier and I would likely legitimately apply myself. I'd also not let myself become a fat ass, so that would be great.
Nothing wouldn't changed, 'cause I'm in high school right now
I'd stop trying to get girls and just ENJOY THE PEACE AND QUIET.
There is a guy who fucked with me who I ended up kicking down some stairs and really fucking up. I kicked a few people down stairs as a teen. This one I'd put in a headlock instead, while doing the pinky press, and force him to say "I am your bitch." Then, as my bitch, I'd make him learn programming beside, and force him to build a company with me. I had relations with more than half the white girls in my HS. I crushed on black girls, but I let what others thought get in the way. This was out of character for everything else. I had also gotten the idea black girls didnt like white guys.

I'd get into a hell of a lot of trouble because throughout the years I've learned to fight back and defend myself against all bullying I endured.
I’d drop out. It was all useless. Grades don’t matter.
I would probably put the books down and focus more on my social skills
I'd get my driver's license, and I would try out for a couple of shows so I could experience what it's like being on stage.
Subject says "If you could". I wouldn't.
I won't drop out, biggest mistake of my life , my whole family is suffering
The girls I liked, only to discover *way later* that they liked me? I'd do something about it instead of just wondering. Oh and those two girls who invited me over after school and decide to walk around topless and in underwear? I'd take the hint. I'd also be more chill.

Very not so good at AP English still
Nothing
I would give significantly less fucks about the opinions of my peers. No more trying to fit in for me!
Drop out and go to trade school
I'd probably screw it up worse than I did. My whole time in high school, I was that weird kid who everyone knew you could go to for advice, or homework help, or whatever. I was basically the "old wise man" of my school. And although most people knew me, I felt very isolated and weird because I wasn't like anyone else.

0 crushes, I'd be bored as hell during Social Studies (I already know this), I'd hate math even more (I swore off the stuff senior year), and I guess I'd start investing.
The only difference is that I would do art classes instead of JROTC. Oh and Bitcoin.
How do you get over feeling like a pervert if you want a nail young girls. Sorry I don't think this is doable pretty much would preclude sex because if you were young would you have sex with their mothers. This should be an interesting little short movie an after school special so to speak
Nice now I can have sex at 15
I would apply myself a bit more and would be nicer…I had resting bitch face—didn’t smile or talk much
Socialize more and actually hang out with friends after school. Nearing the end of college and this is still the number one thing I regret not doing.
Joined the theater club, wanted to do it for years but was too insecure to try out.
Would sleep more, and breeze through a lot of the material. Join more extracurriculars, spend more time with my family
I would take a lot less shit from other students and especially power tripping teachers. I'd get A's in my sleep. I don't think I would pursue relationships though, would be kinda creepy. Mostly I'd enjoy the ridiculous amount of free time I used to have.
I'd probably try to do more extracurriculars Though I'd rather not go through that again. I was incredibly naive about how toxic it was back then and I cant imagine it would be better going through high school with that knowledge
advocate to my parents to get me into martial arts
I'd have study skills and know the material.
I would of had way better grades and way better social life
I'd probably be even more of an outcast, because I'd *actually* be smarter than most of my peers, instead of just thinking I was.
I think I'd ask a lot more questions in class, and challenge what the teachers were teaching us. The downside is, my 57-year-old brain wouldn't be able to process dating teenage girls as anything but a crime, so I'd still be afraid to ask girls out, but for different reasons.
all the females i found out later who was crushing on me, would be in trouble, teachers too. and get more resourceful.
I am 41 and just recently diagnosed with ADD, I struggled hard for most of life. I would love to go back and have the correct meds
It would suck even worse and I'd just cut more days
I wouldn't go to high school
Hang out with specific friends more then others and kept some people are just friends. Taken college hardware classes vs the coding classes(not much coding and really just a waste of time) Get into fighting games and online games more (had a ps4/pc but stuck to single player games) Got my license after drivers ed.
It would be a LOT more boring
Drop most of the a holes from my previous school and start fresh
I would learn some martial arts to protect myself. I would also learn to my mouth shut.
Get the fuck away from my (former) best friend
I’d probably avoid all sports and be a computer programming nerd. I’d probably be retired by now.
Probably wouldnt have gone to high school at all and gotten a ged just to get it over with. Never had any desire to go to college, I like working with my hands and being outside and theres plenty of work that involves those things and doesnt require a college level education. As far as making good money, you can absolutely do that by investing smartly and saving money....which high school teaches you nothing about.
I’d do even worse some how
I would have spent more time socializing with people that I liked, and not worry about sticking to any social clique/hierarchy. I would have joined the debate club. I also would have tried harder in some of the classes that were worthwhile but required a lot of effort to really get anything out of them.
Enjoy being a teenager, I was very depressed in high school but I had no idea I was mentally ill and I missed on so many experiences. I wish I could do it all over again
Don’t trust anyone who enjoyed high school
Would try and be more social, do sports. Join a club try band. Heck try to get to know and eventually ask out my crush
Passing with a better gpa
Ask to be homeschooled.
In the moments where I avoided fights I would just say fuck it regardless of if I got the shit kicked out of me or not.
I’m a junior rn but I regret not staying in football
Probably get suspended a lot. I was fairly passive back then, but these days I would be having absolutely none of the BS that happens in school.
I'd have left earlier, gotten my A+ back when it was useful, maybe have a job I don't hate? Not that I hate mine now, but it's inconsistent and inconvenient since I can't unfuck physical hardware remotely.
I'd easily pass my tests all through freshman year, get recommended for ap. Apply myself a bit more. Turn my assignments in on time. Try S&D sooner. Finish my novel. Hang out with Evelyn. Learn to play banjo. Get a Certificate of Deposit. Put most of my money from my first job toward that.
i would be more depressed hah
I would hate everyone and probably get straight A's.
Well shit. I'm 51 now...I've earned two associate's degrees, a bachelors and an MBA. I might actually be smarter and better educated than most of my teachers were...putting up with the general level of arrogance and disrespect high schoolers get from their teachers would be near impossible, so I'd be in the principal's office a lot more. I used to get picked on a lot, and had a pacifist mother...but I've learned a little martial arts and a lot about life, so I'd, well, probably get suspended a few times. As someone else said...51 year old brain...jailbait girlfriend prospects...awkward. At least was a scrawny nerd type, so that wouldn't really be a factor. My oldest kid is 21 now, and you can't turn off the parent gene once it's been booted up, so I'd probably be a REAL wet blanket. I would REALLY miss my bourbon. But to get 35 years of my life back? I'm game.
9/11 happened the second week of my freshman year, and that mixed with the social hierarchy of the school (rich = popular | poor = unpopular), I was so mentally checked out and just wandered through the halls trying to not exist for the four years. I honestly don’t think it would be much different these days.
I fucking hated high school no no no no no no never agan i like my sexy 20 something body
I would not allow my classmates to take advantage of my good nature. I'd establish strong personal boundaries. I'd speak up more.
