I mean, it really dosen't seem all that great to me.

I just had my wallet stolen today, I work at a freaken supermarket, which is incredibly boring and dull.

I personally just can't wait until next year when I'm free to study at uni and work in better and more exciting jobs and go travelling and meet nice women.

High School sucks

Because it should be. You're old enough to do almost anything you want, you're socially independent, and you have no responsibility. It's the perfect combination for awesome.

I had fun in high school but looking back after 2 months of college I say high school sucks. College is so much better.

Many who say that look back to high school as a time when there were less obligations in life and yet a certain degree of freedom to do whatever it is you want. However, I disagree with the statement. If you are post high school and look back to high school as the "good ole days" then you're doing it wrong. Personally speaking, while I very much did enjoy high school I have very much enjoyed my life since. Life hasn't been perfect but my life does not revolve around the past.

No bills? Well, usually there aren't any. But I guess your last years in childhood until your parents kick you out and tell you that you are on your own. But if it really is the best years of my life then.. my life really sucks.

Nostalgia plays a large role in it. I enjoyed high school a good amount, especially my senior year, which I can definitely say I'd love to go through again. In high school you can have quite a bit of freedom and not have to face the harsh penalties in life, such as the law and work. The school work was relatively easy, assuming you don't load your schedule with AP classes.

I think it's because most people didn't have to pay a lot of bills when they were in high school:P and it's the time most people had their "first" moments like getting laid,being in love, etc nostalgia:oops:.......

College is better than high school in almost every way. I can't think of one aspect about high school that is better than college.

I've never heard that before. Usually people always talk about how high school was hell. Except for Al Bundy. High school was good for him.

Only people with no aspirations in life after high school say that. If your a person who believes life will get better, wants to be independent, and strive for something then those words will never your mouth. Life is supposed to get better. Not worse...

It's funny how we get older we look back on how we complained about nap time. Now we miss that nice little luxury. :P

I dunno, I'd have to guess low expectations and/or ambitions for life, maybe? High school was fine, but being out on my own as an adult was much better, and my life seems to get better and better the older I get.

They can, though I'd find it kind of sad personally. Having the best time of your life be when you had immature relationships and no responsibilities seems depressing to me

because if your pouar it might be the best years of your lfie and beside even if your a loner , being young being 14-18 is great, you can pile junk food into your body and if your one of those skinnny kids, your metabolism just sucks it away, u can stay up all night on energy drinks and be fine goign to school the next day , life is good when your a kid

They can. But to me that seems sad. The pinpoint of your life is a time of drama, where you are still controlled by parents, and nothing matters. Nothing at all. is of importance. There has to be more to life. Once I got out of high school I felt freedom. I felt the world was mine. Like anything can happen in life. If you didn't get them feeling after high school. I feel bad.

Most people that say that believe that because for them it's true. High school was fun, don't get me wrong. You learn, grow, and experience a lot of weird things for the first time, but it just doesn't compare to being an adult. Even though I'm on campus 30+ hours a week for school, I still like the freedom that I have now. I can do whatever I want, whenever as long as I have the resources to do so. No more asking mom and dad for permission, or having to worry about getting in trouble for senseless things. You're finally your own person. The people that say high school is the highlight of your life... are the people that have no ambitions afterwards. They focus so much on the present without ever looking forward, and wondering what life will be like once they graduate and are removed from the shelter and care of their parents.

You know I once heard the same thing and was looking forward to High school because of it, maybe it was my high school but they really weren't the greatest years of my life. Fights everyday, a few shootings near the campus, was in a gang infested area so lots of troublemakers and stuff happening. Friends getting caught up, getting in some trouble myself

Now that isn't to say they were the worst, met some awesome people and got to try some new things. Though it seemed overrated from this legendary experience I'd always heard it to be

College on another hand, now that is a whole different subject 8)

Remeber the old saying high school zero, college hero. Believe me those words ring true

Never really got this myself. School is great and all, but I hardly remember High School anymore. My college years stick out more to me.
