  My 20s and 30s were way better than HS
context: It's the whole "you're last 4 years to not have to worry about work, taxes, living on your own, or anything adult", but doesn't work that way >
  
  That wpuld be a more appropriate thing to say though instead of the blatant lie that it will be the best years of your life. >
  
  Well, adults are nostalgic of being teens and not worrying about adult stuff, so they may actually believe high school years are the best years >
  
  This is unpopular? I haven’t met many people who think “High School was the best”. Even people who clearly peaked in high school. >
  
  Agreed.
  I think it mostly comes from 40-something people who have to work really hard to support their family, and they're thinking "it would be nice to have as much free time as I used to, you teenagers have it easy."
  But of course, they're conveniently not remembering having to obey your parents, lack of money, lack of freedom, lack of emotional stability, lack of social skills, possibly being bullied or excluded, being judged on shallow bases by your peers, being forced to study things that you think are boring, homework, not yet having a driver's license / car, a changing body, insecurity about what you want to do with your life, insecurity about whether you'll pass your exams and a lack of stability / groundedness.
  My 20s and 30s are way better than my HS years.
