I went to college at 15, and didn't go back to high school. My high school peers were dumb and stuck in a cultural rut, and I knew it. And adults had all the social maturity (and all the fun), and I knew it. I could not get out of that system fast enough. As a college student and an adult, I was free to seek out peers and friends at the level of social and intellectual maturity I was comfortable with. In my late 20's, it's something I still do, and it often means my 'peers' are generally a decade or (sometimes much) more my senior. But I'm of the opinion that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, for adults or kids. People your age aren't necessarily your peers. And "universal" high school social experiences are only important if they're important to you. I personally don't regret what I missed at all; I think what I did instead was a lot more fun.
