Yes, but if I did, I'd be going back to age 4...and having a different father too (that probably messed me up before age 4 and was likely the reason I'm told I never wanted to leave my maternal grandparents' house to go home); other stuff did affect me later (and the bipolar fully manifested worse and worse from ages 20-25), but stuff with my dad definitely lasted 18 years, actually into the present though thank God I don't live with my parents any more.

But if I could go back to high school (minus the depression and low self-esteem), I would. I was smart (class valedictorian, could easily remember class material), won awards for art, wrote short stories & poetry & apparently very good essays on assigned English topics, was top business student, top student in most every subject I took from 10th grade on (had a bit of competition with the salutatorian), won regional awards in science, math, editorial writing. Though I still didn't make friends easily and was extremely shy (worse than I was even now), and I never remember not having sleep difficulties.

But I'd love to have my brains and artistry back, love to defy my father and major in English in college like I wanted to instead of microbiology. I was good at micro., I was smart, did better than most pre-med students in my major though by the end, I had the anorexia, depression, was on a few psych meds, and I was no longer the person who started out with so much promise leaving high school.
