If you could restart secondary school

If you could restart secondary school, would you approach it any different?
Personally, although I hated it I'd probably have a good attendance record if I did.

Also, I don't know if there's a thread on this somewhere I cba checking.

Knowing what I know now, id of tried a lot harder and got straight A's, gone to college, then uni to study architecture

studied a bit harder, made more of an effort with erm school activities

the social side of things I wouldn't change heh

I think I would have worked hard and made sure I got good grades and made sure my attendance was good

been more badly behaved!
stopped worrying about stupid things like PE and geography

I wish I would have put my head down more rather than messing around. Guess I would have changed what subjects I took too!

don't regret anything, not even not studying as i was only interested in english and modern studies anyway. probably would've left earlier though.

I genuinely would do nothing different, perfect experience THAT I CAN NEVER RELIVE -SLIT-

Not really. I loved school. I worked really hard and always had loads of banter. Only year I hated was my GCSE because I lost 4 of my grandparents/great grandparents within a few weeks of each other. That was out of my control though and I didn't get enough help or any special consideration.

I'd actually pay attention knowing that I could have attained better grades.

Probably make the right subject choices, study harder and build up a better reputation...

Probably would have chosen diff. options. Probably would have opted for Triple Science over Food Technology.

no, because then i would have attended univsersity and most likely lived the "normal" lifestyle every teenager does, which isn't what i've ever wanted...

would do it exactly the same hahahaha. though maybe i wouldn't eat that ****** champagne cake at prom and get food poisoning, that sucked.

i would choose different options, the ones i chose don't really help me as much anymore :(

regret becoming friends with certain people although i guess things may have happened for a reason so.
oh and maybe pay more attention

Well in one way I'd pick different options as opposed to geography, history and art but then again in hindsight they were enjoyable so I don't regret them. I think I'd have done better in French or something though!

Wouldn't change a thing I have worked hard and played hard. Chosen the right subjects and love every minute of it. Can't believe I only have 4 weeks left and it will never be the same again!

Like others; I'd of paid more attention.

But mostly which would've helped me more through high school is that I would've talked to different people. Nicer people.

i wouldnt leave

Now having a better understanding of how much a difference can make by a grade I would of definitely tried harder at my GCSE's, I would of also changed my options. I would of also changed my 'social group' I was with for pretty much all the way through my school life, ****** or what.

I'd put in more effort into revision and be more confident to ask for help when i'm unsure on something rather then keeping it to the back of my mind. The social askpect I wouldn't change at all.

I'd put in more effort to my IGCSE and IB :)

I would be more social when I first started. and not take psychology for gcse :\

I loved my secondary school, all my mates were top laughs! Our school was pretty run down so you could have more of a laugh! My only downfall was bunking off to play pool in the last year but was still best years of my life!

Certainly would.
First I'd get with my ex boyfriend and stay with him.
Then I'd stay outta trouble, def stay in the books instead of
oss,iss. -.-

highly agree with you on that one

Probably revise more, try and make more friends and have more confidence.

If I could restart secondary school, I would change to a different secondary school :)

If I could I would probably restart my senior years cuz well didn't concentrate/study much and didn't exactly get the grades I wanted. Other than that though I wouldn't prob would end up a worse experience anyway :/

I would of paid attention more at school and got on with work rather then moaning about it and kicking off

I'd of improved my behaviour.

Less fights
Less falling out with teachers
No disruptive ********


I actually miss secondary school! I'd be a saint if I could go back!

Become more social earlier on, rather than only coming out of my shell in the last two years of it.

I'd probably study harder and stop missing school as much as I did

Yeah i would, i wouldnt have been the bad kid in school getting in trouble for fighting and bunking ect ect.
A drunk man once told me that them years at school are the most important if you wanna get somewhere high in life.. and i laughed at him.
Now i wish i did take hes advice.

no i would stay the same

I'd say I'd be perfect and not do anything bad but then I'd restart everything and just do all the **** I did the first time.

I have one year left so I'll make the most of it;3

I'd probably gotten along with a few people a bit better,
and made more of an effort to study and such.

I'd work much harder than I did and not slack around so much.

I'd find a way to go to a private school where even le banter is punished as I hate banter
People go to hit me in the bollocks, I flinch, and then they have the right to hit me BECAUSE I flinch?
natural human trait = PUNCH PLS

pick different subjects and come out of my shell more. not to be such a ******* **** too
