Provided I retain all of my current knowledge? Definitely the beginning of high school. I wouldn't give two shits about my half-brained bullies and would focus on studying--if my GPA had been just a little higher, I would have gotten a full ride to the University of Michigan. Fuck, if I'd been more community-involved and actually studied for my ACT/SAT (did really, really well despite not studying, but my math score dragged the aggregate down), I probably could have gotten into an Ivy League.
I don't know, though. In some respects, I think the damage is done: I got bullied a lot, and I still carry that shit. Doesn't matter that I have a girlfriend, have traveled to dozens of countries, and have an objectively interesting life. I always feel awkward around strangers, like I don't quite fit in or am not making a good impression, even when I am (or when people are simply ambivalent to my being there).
Fuck high school. But if I could do it again, I'd do it for me, and not spare a single thought for the little fucks who messed it up for me.
