I regret letting popular opinion dictate who I spent time with and what activities I pursued.maryjane31 says,
Cared too much about what others thought of me. But I think most teens do.Layne says,
I'm past what people think of me which is nice; it's so much easier and definitely more fun. My problem is I do way to many hard classes and Im stressed 29/7.. And I don't want to remember high school like that, but is it worth it?maryjane31 says,
Whether it is worth it is really up to you. However I really don't want you to feel stressed out either. Could you perhaps drop one of those hard classes? I know what my son went through in high school with his hard classes and all that homework and projects. College was worse on him. He made it and landed on the Dean's list every semester. But as his mother I knew how stressed he was. Big guys never listen to Mom anyway but I wanted him to drop some of the harder classes. Didn't happen.MsKillie says,
Not participating in an Exchange program. Living in Europe as a teen would have been amazing...Layne says,
Maryjane, it's too late in the year to drop a class, but I've actually found some unlikely support lately which has really helped:) and mskillie, I've actually given this great thought, I would absolutely love to be an exchange student, I would just need to convince my parentsDragonflower says,
Yes. I regret that I didn't try harder to get good grades in science and math classes. I regret that college wasn't more of a priority back in my day. I regret that I didn't appreciate more about myself--like I had naturally straight hair that other girls wished they had. They ironed their hair and I didn't have to. That sounds trivial, but its the overall lack of self acceptance that did me in and lasted quite a while into adulthood. High school goes by so fast and there's so much to discover about yourself. I wished I would have had a mentor--someone to guide me.TheAngstyPoet says,
Should've worked harder. & should have reported a bully who kept calling me a 'lesbo' because I told them off after they were making fun of a gay couple. More clubs & probably should have done sports.ba_miracle says,
I have so many regrets that they loop back in on themselves and cancel each other out.I behaved so badly and made an enormous amount of bad decisions but I now appreciate that I did the best I could with what I had.
