Were school days the best years of your life?

    Yes - to an extent. There are things that happened in high school that I wish so bad could happen again. However, there are also things going on in my life NOW that wasn't going on in my high school years, that I find absolutely amazing. I think there are no "best years" of life, I believe they are all great & different in their own way.

    No, I hated it - boarding school but my Brother (10 years later) went to same school and loved every minute - We are not all academically minded.

    However I did become a millionaire later in life (started a company with only 200 pounds) but after a few years lost everything and had to start all over again.

    Such is life !

    Nope. I'm 41 and my best times were between 25 and 30 years old. I was old enough to be considered an "adult," but was still young. By then I was secure in my marriage and had my own home. I had a LOT of fun during those years!

    I'm still pretty happy, now, too, but after losing friends to moves or to death has taken some of the spark out of it.

  • School days weren't best years of my life because I got picked on and I got made fun of from my classmates and they were racist to me. So College was different for me cause I made one new friend but I lost in touch with her. For elementary school and Junior high plus HIgh School years it wasn't the best years of my life.

  • NO! I loved high school and college, but would not want to relive them.

    I had no money, problems with family, etc. Worrying about the next test and getting into a good grad school.

    I like making a living and having more control over my life.

    But I'm also my own boss.

    No. The last few years have been the best in my life.

    Without doubt they were, and these are the main reasons why:

    1) Bullying others for their lunch money is now called blackmail

    2) If I bogwashed someone today (flush loo on head), they would tell the boss, and I would be fired

    3) Copying homework is now called plagiarism

    4) Smoking was better behind the bike-sheds

    Aaaah, those were the days.

    I hated school but still went. Best days were when I left school and went to work.

    Hell no ! I was a teen in the 80's in florida. You had to be a certain way to fit in. I didn't. So I decided to hang out with the thugs from school to fit in somewhere. SAD ISN'T IT ? It will always be the same no matter what decade you are in.

    Oh yes but it wasn't until I got a lot older that I actually realised they were, I would go back to school now if I could.
