Bonus Question: What was one thing you wished you hadn't done in your teenage years?

:]Thanks.

Answer 1

Gone sky diving.  I've always wanted to do that and I'm scared too death of heights.  Go figure-----I guess that's why I didn't do it,  I had a couple of chances but was too scared to go.  Now I regret it and I'm too old to try..  I wish I hadn't wanted to be a woman,too fast and not enjoy my teen years more.

Answer 2

1.  I wish I could have dated (no one ever asked me out).  I think it would  have helped me tremendously when I finally did start dating.

2.  It's not what I wish I hadn't  done, it's what I wish my parents  hadn't done which was live in an apartment.  I was a bit embarrassed to have anyone over because of where we lived.  

Answer 3

I wish I had gone to and finished college.

As much as I love my children, I wish I didn't have kids as a teenager.

Answer 4

a real cartwheel, or one of those hands over feet things where you go backwards over and over??...fat girls can't do that..

Answer 5

Studied through high school and first two years of college.

I'd rather not say to answer your other question.

Answer 6

I wished I could have gotten my drivers license. I didn't get it until I was in my forties 'cause I have a visual problem.I don't drive very far but at least i can get around when I need to.I wished I hadn't skipped so much school. When I was in high school senior year.I ditched about 80 days. Yes, I did graduate but have some regrets that I didn't try harder in school.I have a lot of fond memories of those days though just the same.

Answer 7

planned my life and gone to College

Answer 8

Listened to my parents better when the criticized my choice of boyfriends. Later I understood that they knew more than I did at the time because I was blinded by young love and hormones.  

Answer 9

Wished I had a real set of parents and not live in a series of foster homes.

Answer 10

I wish I had treated the girl I was in love with starting in 1962 a lot better.  I know I treated her good, but as I've gotten older, I realize there were a lot of things I could have done better.  She still has a piece of my heart.

I really can't think of anything I wish I had not done.  All my teen years were full of living experiences that I'm glad I did, even the stuff I SHOULDN'T have done.

Answer 11

Saved some of that energy for the future, like now for instance.
