Feel free to explain your answers in the comments. Also, you can't be like, "But I don't want to give up my driver's license and ability to drink in bars." I mean, DUH. But let's answer the question here, right?

The make or break qualifier, for me, is whether or not I'm allowed to retain the experience I've gained in the last 10 years, while being physically 17. :<

I'd rather not be 17 again if only because I was an idiot then. And had I to do it over without the experience, I'd be an idiot again. ¦3

Since we're going with the movie rules and not the "Doctor Heidegger's Experiment" rules, yes, you get to keep your experience.

Wellll, in that case, sure~ ♫

Not that it should be relevant, but I'm currently getting my ass handed to me, art-wise by my friend who's 9 years my junior (I think she's a prodigy). XD Wish I could have built up my resumé at a much earlier time. [/pettiness?]

(Also, just because I have overthought this matter on my own many MANY times while making the drive home from school at night, the "being 17 in my era (and retaining my experience)" option would be off-putting because, um, my very first thought would be "Shouldn't I immediately go warn the US Government of an impending terrorist attack on American soil?" Followed by trying to stop every other natural disaster and human blunder for the next couple of years...

...in other words: say 'hi' to Cassandra for me in the mental ward, will ya? :\)

Clearly, this is an advantage of the Zac Efron movie ...

I turned 17 in 1996, and I'd much rather be 17 then than now because it would probably be really depressing to be a teenager nowadays. The mid-90s were much more optimistic.

I actually think I got saddled with one of the most depressing times to be a teenager. (Sophomore year was the Columbine massacre and senior year was 9/11.) But it was MY TIME, damn it!
