      Same.
      It was hell for me. Felt so isolated through the whole high school shit experience, even though I had some "friends". After my granpa (I lived and was raised in his house, together with my mom and her siblings; no dad in the picture) died in 2007 which was my senior year well I couldn't fake anything anymore, I was obviously depressed and down. People noticed but as I live in a backward conservative country mental health (even more back then) wasn't something people discussed back then. It wasn't even a term. No awareness whatsoever.
      I'm problably on various spectrum: autism, ocd and adhd. Who knows what else. So imagine highschool with those conditions, no awareness, no diagnosis so I was unaware of my own conditions and limitations. HELL.
      Sleeping was always a problem, I abhorred getting out of bed and prepping myself for highschool. I didn't know what day would be MY day. That is, the day I was gonan be relentlessly bullied. thankfully it wasn't something that happened on a daily basis. There were smaller, skinnier dudes (something difficult as I was really skinny, and I only gained heigh and became like 5'10 AFTER graduating so a typical late bloomer). Those sleepless nights moving in my bed, my stomach full of anxiety, my body somatising the abuse, feeling of inadequacy and confusion and giving my pain, stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, insomnia...
      I've been since those times bad cases of social phobia, selective mutism, bad cases of anxiety, like actual disorders because that's the only way to explain it. And when something happens that becomes stressfull my body reacts badly to it.
      It doesn't help I developed a "avoidant" style of attatchment (I know this is pop sciency but it makes sense in my case) since my early childhood due to my single early 20s inmature mom being so out of her mind sometimes. So it was obvious I was gonna graduate and never look back. And so I did. I think it's normal between us guys that were on the short of end the stick during those years.
      So I know it's pretty common for bullied teenagers to develop disorders and PTSD from those events well into adulthood or forever, I really know. But on the other and we will never peak in highshool. We have hope in that regard.
      Also, I don't know about you but I also store some deep seated and cold anger towards abusive/shitty people.

      Back to the Future at least made sense though. Lorraine had no idea what her son would look like, so there was no way Marty could have reminded her of someone who wasn't even born yet.
      With 17 Again, it's strange that at no point did Mike's daughter feel weirded out by trying to make out with someone who looked and acted so much like her father (I mean, she had to have memories of her father when she was young and he looked a lot closer to what he did in high school. Not to mention that while your looks may change from 17 to 37 your voice doesn't since you've already hit puberty, so every time Mike spoke he would have immediately reminded her of her father).

And the Quiet Place or whatever that movie is called, isn't very good like people are claiming it is. It's full of plot holes and other nonsensical things. Can't think of anything specifically, well, other than the birthing scene where the mother is giving birth with one of the monsters in the house. Like, no, no woman would be able to stomach that amount of pain without crying out in pain. I think there was also something else I didn't like involving that scene but like I said, I can't remember.

I know everyone had a different high school experience. But I’m convinced that most people don’t remember it as well as they think they do. Seriously I always hear people talk about how they miss their friends and they’re all active and stuff like that. But I never hear people talk about how much they miss getting yelled at by teachers or in my case, having a ableist teachers because I was in special ed. Or I also hear people talk about how they miss school bullies and how the teachers never did anything about it. that being said, I actually did really enjoy this movie when it came out.

    Alex’s expression paired with the PS2 music made me laugh so hard I scared my cat. Idk why that was the funniest part to me, but I definitely needed it today.

    Anyone see "18 Again" which came out in 1988? It starred then-92-year-old George Burns who switches bodies with his teen grandson.

    There’s another movie called Seventeen Again which was a Showtime Original movie which started Tia, Tamara and Taj Mowlry. Where Tia and Taj are brother and sister and their grandparents turn into teenagers. And the grandma turns into Tamara Mowlry.
    Disney Channel would rerun the show along with the Mowlry family’s old sitcoms Sister Sister and Smart Guy.
    It cause a lot of young people to think that those shows and that movie were Disney Channel originals. They were not.

      There was an even older movie or an episode of some Disney show called Young Again with Keanu Reeves (1986). His character was called Michael Riley. Also starring Linday Wagner and Robert Urich as the older Mike. Remakes of remakes
