What do you regret about your youth ?

Post #1

Post by harryhayes »

I am fifteen and just interested in what you regret most about your youth and more importantly what you regret not doing. I have probably posted this in the wrong subforum, even wrong website :P but I just want to hear what you have to say to get a better perspective and learn from your mistakes :).

Cheers Harry

I regret having ever consented to an employment drug test. I gave up my dignity and went along with something that I was morally opposed to, just to keep a lousy job, and I will never feel right about that.

I regret having allowed a doctor to get me hooked on oxycontin, which took away four years of my life, and got me thrown into a nut house.

I regret not having begun to learn other languages at an early age. It is much more difficult for an old person like me to master a second and third language.

There are many other things, but I don't waste too much time on regret. If I could give one piece of advice to a young person, it would be, every time you think about sex, think about making money instead.

In my short, short existence, I regret taking parts of my life for granted.

Hey, wait a minute. You are the age of my son and daughter -- and I'm not old yet. How can you be old?
