Is High School the best years of our lives?


Hey everyone welcome back

So today is a pretty simple question... Do you believe that high school is the best years of our lives?
in my opinion, no. and for good reasons.
coming from my experience, high school has too many people pushing you in too many directions. what do you want to be? what university are you going to? blah blah blah... and the pressure is enormous in grade 12... this is where we make it or break it. also, theres way to much drama. whether it comes from friends, from relationships, from parents, teachers... everything seems to build drama. lastly, i believe that high school is a transition period from adolescence to adulthood. when your in high school, i think everyone thinks that they know more than they actually do. like they are some sort of prophet that knows all( theoretically speaking) and this cannot be true because when your in highschool, you have only been alive for less than 20 years... thats not nearly enough time or experience to know all. when one is an adult, they have lived long enough and have truly figured themselves out, they know who they are, they know where theyre going, and they learn to deal with their past maturely.
This is why I say, that Elementary School is the best years of our lives. there isnt too much drama, you know everyone because the schools are generally smaller, and you only have one teacher for the entire year with the same 30 classmates... so you get to know people more. everyone is more tightly knit. also, recess is another big reason for me, able to just take a 15 minute or 45 minute lunch break was the best thing to take a break from schoolwork and just have fun with your friends... lastly, elementary school for me anyways was a time to just have fun.. i didnt care what i was going to be, i didnt care if some bitch called me something i didnt like... i just cared about my friends, and i just wanted to have fun. and i did. i had alot of fun. im always going to miss elementary school dearly... high school (dont get me wrong im sure when im older i will miss it too) wasnt a great experience for me personally anyways...
so what do you think?
Ok so today's song of the day is "Coming Undone" by Korn, a band Ive really grown to love and respect over the past few months(thanks to some friends). there are much better songs by Korn, but this one is still good... better than most actually. so here it is

again, i encourage people to compliment someone on something atleast once a day... it makes a huge difference and its a great way to make people feel better, to build their esteem and to make you feel good. who knows, you might get some compliments back for saying them!
Anyways, thats all for now. I got an english essay to revise after my english teacher ripped it apart.. though i think once the changes are made it will be 80%+ material (well lets hope so anyways)
Ciao, thank you for reading :)
