Wow. Just wow. Some of you guys hold on to such bitterness...

There's a difference between holding on to bitterness and realizing and trying to come to terms with negative aspects about your life and yourself. The bad stuff has just as much influence as the good. It is occasionally helpful to vent these, as you just did.
Im more in line with Kogan.  While childhood and HS sucked, I got over it.  Its called growing up and gaining maturity.  I no longer try to blame my problems on my parents or my teachers.  The problems are all mine.  Accepting that fact and dealing with it has made my life bountiful instead of bitter.

Of course' I am still an asshole.   :P

also, HS was more that 20 years ago, so, I have a lengthy perspective of life to weigh against it.

Edit:  I do wish I could have my innocence back.  Which, is what I believe this thread was originally speaking of.  I wish I could still do things like go nextdoor from my grandfathers mansion in brentwood to OJ's house (yes, the OJ!) and get his autograph again.  He signed it saying "Always do the right thing!" in 1974.  No lie.  That would be awesome.
