Do you look back at your school days fondly? (or are you glad you've grown up and moved on from it?)

I was extremely niave in school, not the smartest, not part of any cool crowd.. but, I did have stability in a few friends. I lack that now, of my own doing with drifting after mental health issues, social anxiety, etc. but that’s the part I miss or look back fondly at. seeing a few people everyday that I could call my friends, being comfortable with them. I think I could have been closer with them, but I’m still glad I had the experience

A mixed bag, I suppose...I didn't fit exactly right anywhere - like I played football so the geeks and nerds stayed away, but I liked to read books so the jocks mostly stayed away, that kind of thing

Depends. High school was great and there was no bullying. Elementary school was the opposite.

No, not really. Maybe some moments are a bit .. nostalgic, but overall, it was just stress/social anxiety and menial labor. And lack of sleep (throughout high school). I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore.

There were times I liked, like 30 per cent on average. But in general I was happy to have left school. I always felt the urge to do better and when I did tutor others to not repeat the errors of my teachers.
