[cheeseandcrackers]

[milosh]

Oh man that sucks I actually do miss being a teenager, I really didn't appreciate any of it at the time but I had it pretty good!

[lola]

Poor thing. Being let down by friends sucks.

[lime]

Ugh.

I was about to come in here all piss and vinegar and say how being a teenager was horrible and no, I don't miss it. But, I see I don't need to.

Sorry for your DSD. That has to sting.

[fuckyourcouch]

fuck no. being a teenager blows, other than the no real responsibilities thing.

sorry for your dsd

Poor SD

I don't miss being a teen either. The only thing that helped me through the teen years was dancing. I had almost no friends at my actual school, but every day after school I'd go to dance class and those girls were great friends. I wouldn't go back if you paid me a million dollars.

Amen to that! IMing was bad enough.

Awww. Poor dsd. That sucks.

I do sometimes miss being a teenager. I was like, Suzie Highschool, and absolutely LOVED it, lol. I also really loved freshman year of college, living on campus, going to parties, etc. I miss not having as much responsibility.

I miss being a teenager NOW that I have self-confidence and the knowledge that I didn't have then, lol. If that makes sense.

Mostly I just miss the times when I had no responsibilities and could sleep in and party a lot without feeling like crap in the morning

18-25. Best years of my life. I was with DH for 3 of them, so it wasn't about being single. But the freedom of school.

Nope, not really.

Poor SD.

College was great. I would never go back to high school, and nothing really terrible friend wise even happened to me.

poor dsd

Lurker chiming in, but the same thing kinda sorta happened to me. So I went with the guy my ex-bff liked and we're married now. (I liked him, too, so it wasn't something I did just to get back at her.) Tell dsd this could be a blessing in disguise. Plus, now she knows who her real friends are.

I don't think anyone in their right mind misses being a teenager, unless they're one of those unfortunate people who peaks in high school, never moves out of their hometown, and spends the rest of their life going to high school football games like they're the most important thing in the world.

College, on the other hand, is an awesome time to miss.

Yeah, I sometimes feel like I'd have a kickass time if I could go back with the confidence and knowledge I have now. 

But mostly, yeah, I'm just glad it's over. I had some great friends in HS, but overall my social life sucked. I would never want to live in my hometown again, either. 

College, OTOH, was great and I really blossomed.

That's awful

I don't miss being a teenager at all. I never had the carefree no-responsibilities experience. Being a grown up is way more fun. I feel like Tom Hanks in Big: an adult-sized kid with a bank account.

I miss being in high school. In fact, I remember dreading graduating because I was terrified of going to college and being an adult.

I am not looking forward to raising a teenager though.

[5hole]

How terrible for your dsd.  Man, high school was bad enough without the internet...

[mamasaurus]

That's some straight-up bullshit.

[Deleted]

Being a teenager was hell.
I'm so sorry for your DSD, her friend is sucky.

Give her the things will get better in college pep talk. Because, things are better in college. I miss undergrad classes and having so few real responsibilities.

[azurely]

Aw your poor DSD

I miss having no real responsibilities beyond school, not having to work unless I wanted to, and just the general care-free-ness that comes with being 16. But I do not miss jerky boys, flaky friends, or Calculus homework.
