But will they make it better.

Would you rather be 13 in 1960, 1980, 2000, or in the last 10 years? I don't think I'd want to be anywhere between 13 and 25 right now. Growing up in this age seems like it would suck.

Something that I always think about.

If you were to wish yourself into some past age, medieval times, feudal Japan, the old west, whatever, your greatest chance if you don't get to choose is that you're going to be average. And back then average meant poor.

Going back to being school aged, assuming you can't wish you were young and hot and popular, that probably means that you were not likely to be hot or popular. If today is any indication of how the future will be, then that means that other kids can and probably will be dicks to you 24x7 which probably wouldn't be a good time.
