I'm 20 and regret not 'rebelling' when I was a teen?

As the title states I'm 20 and I regret not being more 'wild' as a teenager. I had an ok amount of friends but they weren't the sort of friends that had many parties or went out much. I never spoke to many of the people that did have parties as most of them were in the years above me. I realise I sound like a complete dork/loser in that paragraph but I don't think I was, just not very close/talkative with those who had parties all the time.

I was very much a 'goody goody' where smoking drinking and partying was concerned. I never smoked and was famous for saying 'I don't drink'. I generally thought it was pretty stupid drink underage up until I was about 16. I went to my first party then, had one drink. The next party was when I was 17. I'll admit I got pretty drunk at that one. But at 17 when I was just getting into the swing of teen rebellion my peers seemed to have reached their peek after doing it from 14/15, some younger.

I envy the good memories my boyfriend shares with me about the parties he used to go to and the antics he and his friends would get up to eg going camping, drinking and having a laugh. While until I was about 17, 98% of the time I stayed in, watching TV and texting with my friends.

All of these guys who rebelled at a young age seemed to have matured earlier. I'm still at the stage where I want to go out often and get up to stupid things with my friends. Make memories that I'll be laughing about when I'm older. Everyone else seems to be over it. Getting good jobs or at uni Even though I finished school right to the end, I wasn't much of a studier. I couldn't be bothered half the time and never did my homework. But even then my behaviour at school was still always reported as good.

My peers who were poorly behaved at school, drank, went to parties/went out every weekend etc have matured into adults and I still feel 14 and like an overgrown preteen.
