Quite a depressing topic if i may say, but i guess it’s sometimes good to look back!
What do you guys REGRET the most about high school? This can be taking a boring class, extra curricular, life, anything!

taking physics…twice
I regret screwing up my freshman year.
Taking AP physics 1 and then being dumb enough to go back for another beating in Physics C.
-Taking AP Bio. That class is a killer in my school, and I don’t even like science anyway, so I don’t know why I did it.
-Not keeping up with old friends from outside of school.
I got a 79 in Honors English quarter three last year, and got a 3.4 that quarter. I ended with a 3.667 overall freshman year, but it could have been around a 3.75. 
Now I’m playing catch-up sophomore year. I wish my freshmen self hadn’t been so careless.
I wish I made some friends. Oh well, here comes college and a fresh start!
Getting 3 B+s freshman year because I didn’t give a crap. They were all borderline and were in classes I’m actually good at (I got a 96 in one of the classes second semester by putting in minimally more work). And they were all, in part, fueled by the fact that I forgot my homework.
A lot.
Feeling as though I had to change myself in order to impress others. Not challenging myself enough. Letting down my parents and teachers. Not appreciating what I have. Not accepting myself. Pushing away others when I needed them the most. Wasting time doing nothing instead of being more productive.
my 6th grade math grades and my inability to stay organized then. I dropped from honors to regular math, and so now I’m a year behind my friends in math, even though we’re in the same grade (they’re taking calc this year while I’m taking precalc :-< )
There’s actually a lot I regret. Not getting my art requirement out of the year in freshman/sophmore year, not petitioning for AP Euro, taking APUSH (this has been a disaster class), my procrastination, the list goes on…
Graduating. College sucks.
I wish I would have dual-enrolled in more humanities courses so I would have gotten them out of the way in college.
I wish I hadn’t taken high school so seriously. I gave up so many social opportunities in order to get good grades so that I’d “get into a good college.” It kinda sucks so see myself ending up at the same college, getting the same education, at a similar price as my classmates who screwed off for four years instead of working hard like me.
Also- I wish I had forced my parents to discuss financials for college a long time ago. I went into the whole college search basically blind to what my parents could contribute and what I’d have to pay for. Moral of the story- safety schools will be affordable, reach ones probably won’t.
soccer where are/did you go?
A lot.
I wouldn’t have joined so many trite activities had I known that being involved in ECs that I actually enjoy would help me rather than hurt me in competitive college admissions. I also wish I came to this website in freshmen year instead of junior year because I would have known about all the opportunities that were available and competitions that I could’ve entered (like USAPho/USNCO/AMC).
I also extremely regret my freshmen and sophomore years. My grades could have been much higher, I could’ve taken more difficult courses, and, most of all, I could’ve really, really made use of my free time. That free time could’ve been used to chase my passion and, in the process, improve my chances at selective schools. I also wouldn’t have to go on insane try hard mode during junior year to make up for the past…
In the end, though, it’s not good to constantly regret and regret. We can’t change the past, and by only thinking about, we’re honestly wasting time that could be used to make the most of our current circumstances 
When I first read the OP, several things came to my mind.
But really, when it comes down to it, I guess I don’t regret anything. If my high school life hadn’t gone exactly as it had, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.
Very deep words sir, touched my heart very deeply.
