you may not be able to change the voices you have followed any more than i can go back and recreate my journal entries from high school. (paragraph 6)
it was toxic, waste to the spirit. i thought it was life, but later came to find it was slowly killing me. (paragraph 9)

Explanation:

To determine the author's opinion about high - school culture, we need to analyze each statement. The first option is just a statement of an event. The second option seems to be about the effort - reward aspect related to high - school, which could potentially reflect an opinion on the culture. The third option is about choices made in high - school. The fourth option is about a personal realization regarding something in high - school. Among these, the second option "It takes time to cultivate a past, but it is well worth it. (Paragraph 2)" seems to most clearly express an opinion about the high - school culture as it implies a value judgment on the process and experience within high - school.

Answer:

It takes time to cultivate a past, but it is well worth it. (Paragraph 2)
