The trouble I see with saying high school is the best years of your life is that it doesn't give you any room to say now (high school, college, working stiff, bum, retired) is also good years of your life.
It reminds my of the saying, "those were the days!" when looking back at parts of your life as the best. Which makes it sound like you are saying now sucks. Last time I said, "those were the days", a friend looked at me with a shocked look and I quickly said "but now is awesome too!"
