I miss playing sports and fucking around. It's hard to organize lacrosse with 6 people in your 30s with kids :(

You could always make friends with people who don’t have kids, and if you have kids, well IMO you don’t really get to complain that kids affect your independence and time.
You're not exactly selling adulthood to the young readers here...
There is the having money part.
Not necessarily, most people probably have less money than when they were at school if you think about it
I don't know, I never got money for going to school like I do for going to work.

I enjoyed high school. I did well in high school. My father was never around And my mother lived 900 miles away but I still had everything I needed so I had immense freedom compared to that of my peers.
I still have lots of friends from high school over 20 years later, And because of moving around the country a lot before high school I had to make most of those friends in high school. I would never go back to the way things were. I don't mind having a job if it means I get to choose what's in the fridge, what I get to build and where I get to build it.
Also what high school did you go to that it was 9:00 to 3:00? I went to 16 different schools in five states and I've never seen a school day that short. High school for me started at 7:00 which meant I had to get up at 6:00 and it didn't get out until almost 4:00 And if you had any extracurricular activities you probably didn't see sunlight a good portion of the year.
Yeah... For sure... Let's say I currently don't have it this way. School from 8 to 6, come back home, do homework, repeat 5 days/week. Weekends: I have to work at my job and do my homework = less than 1 day of actual break. I can honestly say, I can't wait to finish school so I can have my evenings and weekends without having to worry about 7 courses until I have kids that will take those away from me. But that's a later me problem.
What school started at 9 mine was 8 on the dot. Also you only got 6 weeks we got 10. Did this person even go to school or is this the matrix pretending to be a human again.

School now is 8 to 6 or 8 to 4, depending on if your parents work
