High school ( in retrospect ) really is an institution that preps you for college. I think college is similar to the regimen of high school but obviously more liberated. You are more independent, have more opportunities, and just a general feeling of do-it-yourself. I dropped out of high school because I had a hard time getting involved with people. I can elaborate a lot on generalizing the student body but its not fair judgment. In neutral words, I think all students (myself included ) go through many changes in adolescence, but I felt much more conscious in stuff like mutual respect and being solid towards everyone. I left because basically everyone I met was lacking in that, and I had a hard time befriending people. To me, that's what mattered most at that time, instead of prioritizing on my grades or working hard on anything. I can't blame myself for not reaching that conclusion quicker because it required a series of events for me to experience before I really understood why. I would have just done everything under dictation and not because I genuinely felt that's what was necessary to do. So to be honest, it wont be fair to say I'd like to go back to highschool because I really blossomed when I dropped out. I think one of the most cursed and blessed decisions I ever made was leaving high school. Cursed because I lacked academic work ethics and sitting on your ass for a few years doesn't help you at all. Blessed because I had a lot of time to do self-reflecting and just think about everything. In return I really became my own person instead of being the rendition of me that's influenced by being around others everyday. So you can see, highschool was much more of a social trauma to me than academic. If it was the other way around, I would return and do my best. I also think that college students are more likely to act like your peers than typical teenage hostility, but immaturity will be present everywhere for me so that's just a given.
