Q: I always hear from people that high school is supposed to be the best time of your life. That this is the time when you find yourself. Well, I haven't exactly found myself yet, which is alright I suppose since I'm just going into sophomore year.
But I am a little worried. I've reached a point due to a horrible first year of high school where I just don't care about who likes me or if I have friends.
Basically the only thing I'm counting on to get me through this hellhole called school is that college, marriage, and kids will be better.
But I just don't want to regret twenty years down the road that my high school experience sucked. Then what do I tell my kids? "Oh yes don't worry! You'll be fine in high school!"
I hear my parents tell me stories about how their high school years were and I sort of feel like a failure at life.

So my question is, is high school really the best time of your life? Are there any adults that could maybe share what they thought were the best years? (And I'm NOT going to rate you low if you tell me that yes, high school is the best. I want honesty and I can take it.)
Thanks.
I believe that there is no set period of time that could be described as the best time of your life. We all find ourselves at some point, just not at the same time as others. When others struggle through high school, others ease right by. It's all about an individual. Who knows? You could get to college and LOVE IT. Or, you could go to high school one day, and everything could turn around. My best advice is to just live each day the way you want to, so you can one day tell your kids that you never regretted anything you ever did, because it was what you wanted to do at the time. Just relax, and enjoy life. =]

Thanks. I am actually feeling a lot better about going back to school. I feel good about myself for a change so maybe it won't be so bad. =]
