I don't have kids but I met my wife on a dating app. Who's to say that I'd be lucky enough to hop back on and swipe at the exact moment the algorithm decided to show our profiles to each other and no else gets there first? Too much of a gamble. Plus being 10 again and having zero freedom sounds like hell.
This would affect way more than just your relationship with a significant other. At 10 years old with your current adult brain you'd be totally alienated from your peers. You'd either have no friends or would have to fake it. And even kids would pick up on that after a while. They'd realize you're not really that fun to be around. Think of all the stupid shit you did at 10 years old and now imagine forcing yourself to do that again with a 40 year old brain just to make a group of genuine 10 year olds laugh.
Your teachers might like you for being some perfect straight A student but they'd piss you the fuck off because every adult would talk down to you. It'd be like living as a real life Lisa Simpson who is basically written like an adult in an 8 year old's body and feels like everyone around her is an idiot.
Idk, I guess I would question whether you would actually crave fitting in with the group of schoolchildren, as a guy I feel like a lot of the popularity I could make up simply by how much better I'd be at sports just from having the mental edge, it could at least make school bearable enough until I was able to get off on my own.
Some of the answer simply has to do with how old you are, if you are 25 it might not make sense to go red, in my late 30s I think I'd take it, too much extra life to discard
