if you were to redo your school days , what would you do differently?

[Reecejackox 349]

i would make sure i worked hard in all of my subjects that i did.

[Twilight Luna 30,939]

I would have studied harder and been nicer to some people.

[Literatel 144]

I would get expelled at the first day of kindergarten.

In all seriousness though, I would have been more social... Or have tried to be more social, that is.

I'm still in high school, but last year I definitely wouldn't have taken AP Government. That was a huge mistake on my part.

[Sunlight Glisten 368]

I'd grab life by the balls. I was always timid and shy about doing things. Knowing what I know now (absolutely none of that stuff matters when you're an adult) I'd snowboard more, I'd hold hands with that girl, go on some group camping trips, talk to that person I thought was too cool for me to talk to. Yes academics are important and I still would have gotten all A's but I would have come out of my shell a little more.

 

And above all PLAY LESS VIDEO GAMES. Who ever says, "looking back at my life I just wish I wasted more time on Xbox."

[Passion 3,478]

Everything. Just to see how it would play out.

PS: And I wouldn't turn down that mad scientist's offer of selling me a doomsday machine for world domination... knew made a mistake not agreeing to buy it.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,627]

I'd become the kid that no one wants to hang with or mess with.

I would have paid money to deal with anything trump related at school

would have been so many fart jokes

[Will Guide 21,325]

Realizing I'm gay in high school and experimenting with relationships with guys like me.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I would take back a few things that I did which I now regret, but aside from that, everything else would be the same.

[Jeric 46,834]

I would have paid more attention to a girl who fancied me. Took me until college to realize she actually had feelings for me. Talk about obtuse.

 

[Lord Valtasar 12,685]

if i had my memories and knowlege of now?(not like i rmember anything of what i learned there, so i'd still blow my exams)then i'd probably just leave and skip college, or at least chose a different one. 

[Appley Hooves 136]

Be more assertive and go after some of the bullies I had, obviously I couldn't have gone after most of em so might as well be realistic lol.

I'd also have taken higher level high school courses, as what I graduated with wouldn't get me into anything nowadays.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Quite a bit, actually.

1. I would have ignored the people bullying me. Might be easier said than done though... They made it really, really difficult.
2. I would have been more vocal about my issues. Maybe somebody would have realized how bad they are and I would have gotten pills and maybe even disability checks.
3. I would have opened up about my sexuality when I was in Junior High instead of later. It would have saved me a lot of embarrassment.
4. I would have been way less desperate for love. I had three online relationships, and none of them worked for their own reasons.
5. I would have been more assertive going after my crush. Even if I freaked him out, things would at least be resolved.
6. I would have answered that one question on a Number Sense test (math-related extracurricular academics stuff) right. If I did, I'd have gone to state again...
7. I would have realized that one of my friends had a crush on me. It would have saved me the embarrassment of everyone else constantly talking about how she was in love with me, and she'd likely have suffered less heartbreak when she realized that I'm not romantically into girls.
8. I would have been in the Work Program. I would be doing better for myself right now, for sure.

 

All I can think of for now, but there's likely more to be said here. 

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

Pay more attention so that I could take more electives. I could of learned the basics of composing/playing music, instead of struggling like I'am now... or maybe of even taken choir, or learned Japanese because my school taught that language.

Now if I wanna do any of those three its gonna come out of my pocket, all because I couldn't focus in class.

[Phosphor 11,522]

Luckily, grades were really never an issue for me, but if I were to redo anything from school, it would most certainly be 9th grade.

I would avoid some of the "friends" I hung out with that year. Did a few things I'm not proud of, so staying away from them would prevent that. 

[TBD 17,228]

Drop a class on time..having a big o' fat F on college transcripts can really screw you up.

I would have certainly not handled my high school years the way I did. I would have been much nicer to my band directors and the other students in band with me. I wouldn't have been such a drama-stirring depressing mess altogether.

[Jedishy 3,542]

I would have changed who I dated, focused more on my studies and taken the trouble to save more money. 

[BornAgainBrony 2,395]

I would've studied LESS. My social life was even more nonexistent than Twilight's, and all the academic pursuits led me nowhere. So I missed out on 95% of the fun and didn't even get anything for it.

You'll grow out of that don't worry. 

[Steve Piranha 28,765]

I would have changed schools myself 

[Dreambiscuit 8,023]

I hated everything about school so the main thing I would do different is start home-schooling from the beginning and avoid public schools altogether. I didn't have the option to choose that for myself at the time, and didn't start home-schooling until eighth grade, but given the opportunity I'd have been home-schooled exclusively.

As far as what I did when I was in school, I'd do it all the same way. I did my best and it sucked anyway. It was a no-win situation that couldn't be improved.

[Rainbow Dash 1,471]

Probably beat up the kids and faculty at my old school who bullied me. Yes even adults bullied kids before people decided to take bullying seriously. I hate how much of a pacifist i was, and it didnt really get me anywhere.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,410]

I would start drinking earlier.
