Would you go back?

To sometime in elementary school, being aware of all you are are now?

Think critically about this; you wouldn't be able to relate to your friends at the time, your peers would seem like, well, children.
You wouldn't be able to use any of your knowledge of the future for immense personal gain or the aid of others (i.e. lotteries or warn about natural disasters/terrorism) and you would be forced to live your entire life over again, effectively lengthening your life by about an extra 20%. You'd be prone to immense psychological torment, again being trapped in a child's body and having to live an extended life, but you [b]might[/b] be able to make your life different.

Would you do it?

Ehh, tempting. Not sure. I probably wouldn't because then I wouldn't have met my best friend, but still tempting regardless.

Yes, yes, yes!

I probably wouldn't stand up to my elementary school teachers and torment them with superior knowledge, but little kids are awesome! Especially when they have manners! Well, actually, that doesn't really happen, but in this case, probably. Not needing to put effort into school would give me so much free time, and assuming I'm still experienced in "self defense", bullies won't be a problem.

Although yeah, technology from 2000 would be a pain. But since I'm traveling to a time before I played MS, I could just decide to not play MS. The only reason I have for not quitting at this point in time is that I feel bad about abandoning the result of years of work.

This is gonna be awesome!

Grant me my wish! Kyubey!

Holy crap yes. Do you know how degrading it is to be very social for the last two years of high school, and know that you could have been a hundred times more successful with girls and friends if you had known how to socialize in elementary and middle school?

I honestly believe that all the schoolwork and nonsense to be re-done isn't worth it. Especially since I'm pretty content with where I stand in the present.

Eh, why back so far? I'm already in my mid twenties so even high schoolers are kids to me. And not in an insulting "shut up kid" kind of way, but when I look at high schoolers, they look really young. My perception of them changes the further I get from them in age. Sort of like how when you're a kid teenagers are "really old" in your mind.

But I digress, being stuck in a kids body might be a bit much for me now, and there are some not so fun parts of my childhood I'd rather not relive. That said though, being a kid was a blast, all fun and games, no responsibilities, etc. I might be willing to suffer through the rest just to have that again and be able to do things I didn't the first time around. And who's to say I can't conveniently get lotto number correct right after my 18th birthday come around again

yeah there's a few things I would like to change and being more experienced it would help me make more thoughtful decisions

well, yes. school would be much easier (I already learned all the material, right?) and my socialization skills might be wonky but I'm sure I can fake it till I make it

Let's see....

If I went back to 3rd grade, I would be 8. The love of my life right now is turning 17 in December; that would be a difference of 9 years in our ages.

Ya, I'd do it.

I would love to at least have the chance to fix some of my mistakes, but then again maybe I'm fine as I am right now. I'm not sure.

I'm not actually sure. I don't know if I could go through 17 years of this crap again. But then again, I guess I can make some things right. So yeah probably.

I got no reason to. I would end up similar to the way I am now.

Nah. I don't really have any deep, deep regrets, maybe like 2 or 3. But not worth going through puberty and the angst teenager stage again.
