[@glenngriffon8032]

About 12-13 years ago I got into a talk with a girl on FB who was trying to organize a high school reunion and tracked me down to see if I'd attend. She basically asked me that same question and my response was "what friends? I only had one real friend in school and I still talk to them daily". She still persisted til i informed her that i left our hometown behind almost immediately after graduating.

[@Afreshio]

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.

Kids having a crush on their teenage parents or future children is a weird but common trope. Like Back to the Future.

[@gracekim1998]

At least they acknowledge it feels weird even without knowing Marty is from the future 😅

[@DukeSkylocker]

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).

[@ndlad]

if I'm being completely honest my parents were extremely attractive when they were my age (and still are) ofc knowing that they're my parents it's disgusting to think about such a scenario, but if it was just some random people looking like that...

The sister tho, she lets her bf bully her own brother. Like wtf

[@xoxoRachelZegerSuperfan]

I didn’t get along with my little brother when I was in high school but if my boyfriend BULLIED him I’d be LIVID

[@Reputationdino]

13:54 I genuinely thought his face was like that cause he was like “aw yeah thats my daughter, good for you, stability”

[@KristianYeager]

High school was easily the worst four years of my life, so I’m with you.

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

[@CuteAnimalVideos2580]

remember there's also 13 going on 30 from 2004

[@queencleopatra007]

There was also another "17 Again" movie that came out in 2000 starring the Mowry twins from Sister Sister, where the grandparents get turned back into teenagers.

[@ECKohns]

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.

[@CrazyMazapan]

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

The Korean adaptation did this so so much better. All the characters are much more likeable, especially the daughter. They didn't make the daughter stupid enough to date her brother's bully.

@@daphnegnd3889 it's called "18 Again". Very refreshing to watch. Much more emotional.

I think I only still love this movie, is because I happened to watch it twice at the movies. Once in one of those dome theaters and the other time in a drive in. Really leaves an impression

As someone who's been 17 ever since he turned 34, this movie always appealed to me

[@trinaq]

While I like this movie, I never thought that Zac Efron and Matthew Perry looked like they could be the same person. Perhaps John Stamos, AKA Uncle Jesse, would have been better as an older Zac.

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

No offense to the dead, but I assumed that guys life went ROUGH if he went from looking like Zack Efron to…not Zack Efron

[@plumdutchess]

Can definitely see that. If you Google John Stamos young pictures.

I think the point was he WASN'T hot at 37.

[@shaneilellis9832]

He looks like Kevin zegers

[@plumdutchess]

@@rachelrasmussen1101 Eh, no it wasn't. The point of the movie was he had to give up his dream when his wife got pregnant. And realising his life wasn't bad. There's nothing in that movie that shows he was supposed to be "unattractive".

[@quinwen5728]

I strongly recommend "18 again" it's a korean adaptation (I'm pretty sure at least) of 17 again, but it's more flashed out and developed in terms of plot, characters, relationships, and the overall message.

[@ofentseisntavailable6764]

I luv that show

15:38 she's overcompensating and trying to fulfill the expectations of her previous partner as a form of coping with the separation, however unhealthy the relationship was. I mean, that's not even a teenage girl thing, that's very commonly a people thing.

theres a kdrama based on it called '18 Again' (2020) i enjoyed it a lot!

During this whole video the legendary edit of “let it go” from frozen playing over Troy boldens “bet on it” was playing in the back of my mind….

[@dhyanadesai6622]

I forgot that Chad Dillon cooper was in this movie

[@bouchrafakher]

Fun fact: sterling knight auditioned for the role of troy bolton, and since then was considered as a successor or a rival to zack. Even on sonny with a chance they made his character have beef with zack efron the actor so it is funny seeing them together in one movie as father and son (disney lore is my roman empire)

[@dhyanadesai6622]

@@bouchrafakher I live for this type of lore so thank you! 😂 I don’t think I’ve heard Sterling sing (other than the chad chad chaddy chad chad song) and I can’t remember if he sang in star struck or not so I don’t know what he’d be like in the HSM movies (I know Zac did dubbing in the first one so they could have done that too)

[@bouchrafakher]

@@dhyanadesai6622 aww thank you, so to answer your confusion i’ll give you more Disney lore😂. Sterling knight did not sing in his movie starstruck maybe just the opening line of one of the songs.
