Hey, you know that movie that is out with Zack Effron. "17 again", well it is a classic that George Burns had done, but it was called, "18 again". I guess they did not want movie con flicks so they changed the year by one. But, anyways I wanted to know if you could go back to being a teenager again, but, with all the knowledge you have know would you? And, what would you do? Would you change your past or fix past mistakes by doing something different. "Peggy Sue got married" is another movie like that where a woman get's to relive her teen years in high school. So, be honest what would you do if it was back to high school for you but with all that you know now?
P.S. No cheating and saying you don't know!!! Use you imagination! Also, would you be smart enough to past all your classes now? LOL

No I wouldn't go back. I would leave it all the way it is. As I got my son at 29 and that was the best time of my life. I never fit in in high school so I wouldn't go back. I left for a reason and I didn't like the school. I would not go back anytime as it would mess up me having my son at 29 and the one I have now. He is great and no amount of money or making old mistakes go away could ever replace him. And not willing to take the chance of not getting that one. You have a good day. I know it is not the answer you wanted but. I have a great kid. Your friend onlydia

God no, the first time around was hard enough. There's probably things I'd like to go back and change but not have to live it again. I'm content where I am although shaving a few years off doesn't sound too bad LOL.

Well I'm only a few years out of high school so I can't say I've learned enough to warrant going back to High School. If it were years and years from now and I was going back to high school (by the way another movie is "Never Been Kissed" a reporter who goes back to high school to do a report on what it's like) then I would have to say that I would want to pass all of my classes and pay attention more to my studies. I'd probably have a completely different type of friends, and I wouldn't change for anyone.
Although if it was permanent I wouldn't go back.

if i can only relive the past or high school life. i would have fix my relationship with this person that i always tried to avoid. i was successful in avoiding this person but i should have not avoid that person. now i realized that he is the most important person that i could ever had in my life. and should have spent more time with him back then. one wrong decision in my life back then made a lifetime of regret for me.
many times in my life i was thinking if i had done things differently i should have better life now and i should have my wish granted. cause i never thought back then that the person i was looking for all along was just right under my nose . though i felt something different or something good about this person. i just tried to brush up that feeling and explain it away.
many times i wish that this person is always present in my life. i know if i had differently that this person should still be present and much be closer to me now.
i would focus on this person than my studies if i could relive the life. i thought then studies was the most important thing i could have in my life and though it is still important but the relationship was much more important that the diploma that i have gained back then. i had this feeling like a failure when i realized all these things that i lost the person that so close to my heart though still far away. all those times i have missed without this person. never in my wildest imagination that this person could have such a very big impact in my life. i could not explain it away. i tried to reason it out that it is just normal to lose someone important to you. i know this is part of life. but it is hard because the reason the person left was that i drove the person away because of fear of rejection and not because the person left in their own choice. i was the one to be blame. the person was too willing to be what i want him to be in my life. but just that time i never thought it was possible that he would the person that i wanted in my life. i just know that i wanted this person but i just don't believe that he would be different at all from other people.
if only i could bring him. i could talk about him the whole day. the whole lifetime. but still i will not get tired of it. though i tried to stop thinking of this person, i just can't. i just remember this person every single moment of my life. every single day that passes by without him.

ALthough i haven't been out of school but a few years i want to comment. Even though i liked making mistakes in order to learn from them i would change some stuff. I was shy my first couple of years in school and that would change. Also skipping school was a big mistake and almost made me not graduate on time. Also there was classes i should of took in place of others. Classes that would mean something now. Oh well i guess there is nothing i can do now.
