What do you regret about your youth ?
Post #1I 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 but I just want to hear what you have to say to get a better perspective and learn from your mistakes .
Cheers Harry

My biggest, perhaps my sole regret regarding my youth is the lack of a formal education. I can't remember if I actually graduated the eighth grade, and envy those who were able to continue their education even one level beyond.
Stay in school!!!

In elementary school, a new girl arrived in class. She asked me if I would be her friend. She eventually became the homecoming queen in high school. I regret that I did not say "yes" to be her friend.

Oh my gosh! Sooo many regrets, so little time. Let's keep it to these two:
1. When I was sexually assaulted by a classmate in 9th grade, I didn't report it. I regret that since I heard later that he went on to rape someone.
2. Because I had low self-esteem in high school, I settled for my first boyfriend, who was a real jerk. If I had realized how pretty and smart I was, I would have chosen a lot better.

But yeah, my first girlfriend was quite a mistake, and most of my friends would say the same about theirs.

But Kharma loves me, a few years later when I was about 20 and getting ready for a party (looking quite great, if I do say so myself) he delivered my pizza!AkiThePirate wrote:Ahh, this is one of my few skills.
