Why do they say "high school is the best 4 years of your life?" Why? Isn't that only in the movies, cause everyone in high school says its all homework and tests and extremely hard. Why is it the best?
Im 13/f and i go to high school this year but next school year (in 8th grade)

I've rarely heard people say high school is the best four years of their life. Most people find college to be much more enjoyable, as do I. Some people enjoy high school if they have a fun social life, but more often than not, kids struggle in the transition from childhood to adult during this time. Boys will hurt you, you might not do as well as you did in middle school grade-wise, and you'll be struggling to accept the changes your body goes through. However, it is a very care-free time and you get your first taste of freedom. I'd say I enjoyed my last year of high school the most.

I hope you can look past the insecurities and relationship drama when you get to high school. And if you can't, remember that college is a new world of opportunities too.
