"If you had the chance to change one thing in your life, would you?"

"

Do you have any regrets? Something in your past you'd like to fix? And if you could go back into the past... would you change it?

Me personally... I regret the way I acted in school. I didn't care to pay attention to most of my science and maths classes. There I really messed up my life bad and I would do anything I could to change it.

I would have worked harder to get my Pre-Calculus Teacher Fired.

She was so sweet and kind, but couldn't teach Trig at all.  I failed my Calculus Placement test twice because she couldn't teach.

Well I can't really explain this, but I feel like I've been socially awkward during my 9th grade year. Besides with my friends, I don't know how to verbally respond to anything. I'm not really a conversation starter either. Whenever I do say things I wish I had the time to think about my response and go back and change it.

And then I regret not being good with the ladies. Could be because of my social awkwardness.

EDIT: NO! I regret my 8th grade year. It was fun and all, but me and my friends all think we could've made the last year before the school closed down, a lot more memorable.

Hm.

I regret not losing all faith in religion and humanity sooner. Imagine all the hedonistic debauchery I could have accomplished in those extra few years.

I regret the disrespect I showed my grandfather. I never told him how much he meant to me, I never got to tell him goodbye. When I did try to make amends, he was unconscious in a hospital bed. Guys, all I'm saying is, make it count. You'll just hurt more if you don't. :\

I don't know if I have any really big regrets. I guess I regret not being able to just be myself, but I'm really trying to make it happen now. I still have 3 more years of high school, so I'm trying to be optimistic.

*sigh*

I really regret letting myself take in sexual content at an immature age. It has messed up my life big time. As a result, I become anxious, angry, depressed, and even ashamed of my own gender whenever I think about it.... It's so not worth it. -_-

I regret daydreaming my way through high school and slacking off when I could've easily made straight-A's. Probably would've been able to get into my first choice college right off the bat instead of going somewhere else for two years to work my GPA back up. I also regret being so antisocial during my teenage years that I practically refused to make friends. I have no idea what was going through my mind back then.

If i could go back, there is some stuff i'd do differently or wouldn't do at all! I was offered a certain job interview when i left school and i really wish i'd taken it to see where things would lead but i never did. Also, in the months before leaving high school i fell out with most of my friends over something stupid. 11 years on, they are all still good friends and meet up and such, and i wish i could be a part of that. But it's my own fault.

But we live and learn. If we never made mistakes and had regrets we wouldn't learn from them and become better (hopefully) people.

I regret giving it away as early as I did, and to him. He was a jerk who lied to me and didn't deserve it.

I regret not doing Study Abroad my first two years of college. Now I'm about to get into some heavy coursework and settle down, there's no time for that.

ya know...I have to say I have done some emotionally driven, crazy things growing up...but I wouldn't change it...I am happy with where I am now, and even though I know I probably drove my parents and some others around me nuts sometimes (probably still do since I'm a bit of a black sheep), I really think it has landed me where I am today.

I am happy. I feel more confident in who I am and how I feel than I have ever felt before, and I can accept when I am wrong or stand up for myself with confidence when I need too.  I think we all screw up a bit, but we wouldn't really have achieved "adulthood" if we hadn't done so every now and then.

ooo and mhirick....I think we all regret the first boy we gave it away too...they just can't ever keep their mouths shut...haha! but fortunately...it helps us be more cautious later

I think La Vie en Rose is great for this subject.  This is a song from the movie with translation called Non, Je ne Regrette Rien.. I think.

It's strange. I've sat here trying to think of something I actually regret, but there really isn't anything I can think of. Everything that has happened in my life has shaped me as who I am today. I live my life how I want and, when I look back, I've been happy in my life. Sure there has been moments of sadness, but I don't want to waste time trying to 'right a wrong', so to speak, or wonder 'what if'.

Not that I am saying anybody here is doing that. It's just my take on 'regrets'. And, what do I know?

I don't have regrets, it would destroy me just thinking that I could've done something like that
or why didn't I do so? Of course there are stuff I wished I did differently, but it is in the past.

i regret not getting involved in high school while i could. i joined a few clubs, but i always quit before the third meeting. the only thing i've ever stuck with was nfc which was only for two months-- and i didn't even do it for fun, i did it so i could study.
it would have helped meet many more people and i would have been known for something positive instead of being known as the short and impassive girl. and of course, now it's too late to join any.

I don't think regret is really the right word when it comes to my life. The last thing I want to do is regret something because that would be regretting what's made me into me.

Now, I do wish that I would've woken up sooner to understand how people use organized religion and junk like that to brainwash people and that I'm glad now that I think for myself, but I think I resent more certain things from my past more than regret them. Does that make sense?

I don't have any really major regrets - just things that I half-wish I could change, but I can see why they were good things.

I think that quitting zen do kai for nearly five years, and not starting Irish dancing until this year when I could have started it a while ago are two things that stand out. Had I not stopped zen do kai for so long, I could be at a black belt. Had I started dancing earlier, I could be competing. But those are the most major things, thankfully.

I regret being so stupid and naive in past relationships.

I agree Lorelai. Very naive and stupid, too trusting that their intentions were the same as MINE. Ha! I can say that I regret the pain it caused, but wouldn't change it. I have been able to help so many other people through the hardships and hard-knock life lessons.

My stepmom has regrets for beating me everyday of my childhood, but it made me the empathetic person that I am, so while it was horrible to go through it as a child, it cements the fact that I will NEVER allow someone to do that to another child around me again. If it helps a child, it's worth it.

I have a lot, but one, one big one.


Going to Alaska, my dog wouldn't have died when I was there.

I regret the way I was in middle school and high school. I don't even know what I thinking! I just wasted my time being insecure and awkward. I didn't make that many friends and daydreamed the whole time.

"I really regret letting myself take in sexual content at an immature age. It has messed up my life big time."

This, except I was naive and young to a point where I didn't even understand what it was, it was just something I thought cool people did, eheh. Didn't stop me from screwing up my life forever though.

My whole life is one big regret.

@ Idogg, I'm sorry. Hopefully things will turn around.

I regret not doing more fun stuff when I was younger, like going to concerts with friends.

Thanks but I'm really just exaggerating. Sure there are a lot of things I could have done differently but overall I'm not that bad off or good off.

I also regret not doing fun stuff when I was younger but I'm still young and can make up for that.
