I'm a junior in high school (this school year will be over in a month.) After the first semester of my sophomore year I was rank #2 in my high school (I was rank #1 in freshmen year) but I messed around with this girl and a whole other bunch of stuff and got depressed for a little while after my grades went down. I really wanted to be valedictorian, but i'll just have to settle with getting the highest diploma in the state and at least top 10%. It still sucks though cause it was my dream in 8th grade. Lesson learned though, better now than never.

Wish I never started messin with that girl. That little thot probably costed me some precious opportunities down the line

I wish I'd have cared about my looks much more than what I did.
I used to look like a poor person, but I grew up in a wealthy home. I had a computer with internet access in my room when I was 9, none of my friends I had back then had that (2 of them lived in the same area as me).

The result of not caring about my looks resulted in people avoiding me (my personality back then wasn't the best either but not a deal breaker) and that caused a severe depression for me.

Just a simple thing like dressing better, get a nice haircut and shower and use parfumes could've done BIG changes am I sure of.

The only thing I really can say that I regret is not enjoying being a kid and young more. I'm only 25 now, but I regret not living carefree.

I'm a worrier, and it has a deep affect on me all the time. I always worry about my future. My parents rented, and have never owned a home. So I always worried about being evicted and having to move. My parents would always say they couldn't afford to buy a house (which is untrue) so I would stress about that.

My whole life has been one stressful moment to the next, so I would really change being worried all the time. Instead i would try to live more carefree. That is what I am trying to do now.

1. Not taking the beginning of High School seriously. (I could've had some scholarships. )
2. Cutting up my leg (I was depressed. Now I'm even more insecure)
3. Missing out on my life from the ages 10-17(I developed Avoidance personality disorder and social anxiety. Never made much friends, or took chances due to insecurities)
4. Not being there for my brother enough when he went to jail. (We're only 2 years apart.. I miss him)
5. Not participating in shattered lives. (You should look in up on youtube. A drunk driving program)
6. I have so many regrets. This lost can go on forever.

I wish I had stood up to my mother.

Growing up under her, seeing what she put my father through, the sessions where she'd scream at me for hours on end, it made me seriously question the idea of partnering at all. I never dated, through high school, through college, or for several years afterwards.

I've since come to realize not all women are like that and partnership is something I very badly want, but now I'm nearly thirty and still pretty much clueless about how to find it. I have every reason to think my lack of experience by itself would be seen as a red flag.

Honestly... The way i treated some people growing up. I regret it so much but it taught me that you should always treat others with respect. But i was just a bratty teenager (still am haha) so they understand. We all have problems but it is never okay to try to control or bring someone down. I would never hold someone back the way i did to a few people in the past.

I regret ever cheating on my boyfriend. I didn't realize how big of a mistake it was when I was drunk. But I did tell the truth because that's the only thing you can do in situations like that. I just regret ever hurting him in that way because I know exactly how bad it feels. So I really learned my lesson but it sucks that something like that had to happen before I did.

Urbantarzan · Answer

Many things actually...
1. I loved too intensely without knowing her well enough
2. I used to procrastinate a lot, and I wish I was at the good place I am in life right now (financially) earlier - if only I had got my degree and job earlier.
3. I wasted time with friends who had no goals/realistic goals. My understanding of the way the real world works developed only recently. For a large part of my childhood, and teens, I had a fantasy idea of what I would do or become (like a superhero etc). If I had better guidance then, I would have been where I am now sooner.

I wish.. I could forget all the bad things I've seen in/about people. Its hard to look for the morning when you can still feel the cold of the night. I have a question: Why is it that we remember the worst parts of your lives and have hazy thoughts of our best? there's a question I need answered..

Getting in the car with my drunken buddies, un-seatbelted, on October 4th, 1994, which resulted in a horrific accident, leaving me disabled and in never-ending chronic pain in my T-spine. Always wonder what my life would have been like otherwise.

I really wish I'd never lied to people about my age. I realise now that it never ends well, and I could've saved myself a lot of scars, mentally and physically. ;-;

Cheating on my boyfriend. Our situation is unique so it's hard for us to be together all the time. I got lonely and I'm an idiot.

Spending three years thinking a friend of mine was "the one" before I grew some balls and did something about it.  Hurray highschool.
