[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was home schooled for high school.  My mom was extremely paranoid about the many social ills that supposedly filled high schools in the 90s and led me to believe it was the best choice for me, which I believed at the time.

While I actually got a decent education (combination of a very good home schooling program and being very self-motivated), as the years go by I feel like I missed out on so many experiences by not going to a high school.  I never got to go to the prom or football games and when I got to college I struggled to fit in at first because I didn't know teenager lingo/slang.  As time goes by I feel like I missed such an important part of life as I see friends who have great HS friendships to this day, reminiscing of teenage antics and rites of passage.  DH gets it but thinks I'm romanticizing the whole thing...he remembers HS as being bullied and stuck with teachers who didn't care.  Who knows what my HS experience would have been like, but I've been thinking a lot about it and feel like I missed out on so much.

[b]So for all you who went to high school, was it a great experience?[/b]  If you had those 4 years erased from your life, would you feel like you missed out on something important or would you be content?[/quote]

OP, this question isn't relevant. For 99% of the population, if they even remember it accurately, it is a combination of the two.

What you are missing is an experience that most people can relate to. It doesn't matter if you would have had a good experience or bad in memory - it would have been something to think and talk about.[/quote]
