I miss primary school. Does anyone else relate?

I miss primary school so much.

I’m in Year 10, and I still can’t get over leaving primary school. I just feel like when I was in primary school, I felt way more happier and confident.
In primary school, I had so many friends, the teachers were funny and kind, the way we learnt was fun and way more effective for me, and not to mention how much I miss the playground :frown:

I know it’s kind of a silly thing to say because obviously when in secondary school things are going to be stricter as you’re older, but it doesn’t stop me from longing to go back to primary school.
Ever since I came to secondary, it’s felt like absolute hell. The homework, how mean the other students are, GCSE exams, stricter teachers, the lack of routine, etc…

I just feel like I miss primary school soooo much and would do anything to go back. At this point I’m excited for college because I’ll see my primary school friends who are going there and I’ll be able to do the subjects I enjoy and get out of this place. Can anyone else relate or give advice to get over primary school?

Nah I'm now an adult, every aspect of primary school would just feel like babying. The idea of 'doing anything to go back' sounds a bit much.

I miss primary school as well, it felt much easier and there wasn't anything to stress over. But I'm in college now and it's a lot more independent and it's more friendly as in everyone gets along so dont worry it does get better imo

When I was a wee laddie, I missed primary because I didn't get bullied all the time by the year 10s. Now, I'm in Year 9, and I still get bullied by the Year 10s.
Primary was much morw fun for these reasons:

You don't have to worry about anything. They put so much stress over "PiCkIng THe RiGhT GCSEs" that it genuinely gave some kids in my class anxiety.

Games. You can mess around, play games. Hell, we had board games in our class and if it was raining outside break we would go in and play games, teacher would put on movies to pass the time too. Now I can't even bring CARDS to school because "they're contraband!!". I tried bringing a dice set to play Dungeons and Dragons and the teacher gave me a 30 minute detention. He also took away my dice (which I'm still waiting for him to give them back to me). Also, Kahoot.

The Bullying. I never experienced bullying once in Primary school. The bullying in secondary is completely awful. I saw a kid get beaten black and blue and the teacher did nothing about it.

You have EVERY right to miss Primary school. Don't feel shy about missing it. I can't wait to go to college.

Same here man, I finished secondary school last year, it wasn’t terrible for me I enjoyed it most of the time but every year I just get upset about primary school. It was the best years of my life and I will never have a good few years ever again, the things I would do to experience my life as a little kid in the same primary school with the same class mates and same teachers, I loved every second of it and I miss it to this day like I’ve lost a parent or something. Recently I connected with my childhood best friend, and I asked my primary school for some photos of our class, sadly they had deleted everything but the headteacher was the same one so he asked us to come visit, and oh my god it was like I was dreaming. That was the best moment I have had for a long long time, visiting my primary school with my childhood best friend and the same head teacher, most teachers left the year we left but there were still a few left and speaking to them was amazing, please go visit it again trust me it’s worth it.
