Taking the question at face value, the answer is no. I would not have worn a kilt to my suburban high school in the mid-80's. I would not have been ready for it. The experience would have been traumatizing, probably. But that's the thing: what would have traumatized my teenage self, the grown-up self I am today can take in stride.
Teenaged me and myself today would not have gotten on at all. But we're probably united in our disdain for elderly me, coming up in a couple more decades.
