Taken advantage of the free college courses while enrolled in the ranks of school. I'd be finishing up a bachelors or masters by now... hell of a job ahead of me too.
So for all of you under 18 younglings, if you want to brighten your future and be even more special than your mother says, go check out the opportunities to study college curriculum in High School, and get in some classes. You can have a 4 year degree before you are legally able to drink. -

I would keep my loved ones closer even if far away , I would call them more often and tell them how much I loved them and want the best for them! I just lost my 24 yr old nephew and i hadnt spoken to him in 3 yrs. I am so ashamed at myself for not reaching out to him more... he lived with us for a couple of years and we were very close.. I miss him very much... -

Just like one said I would have not even bothered to try and be liked by my peers as I would have just let my shyness be me, as I was always shy and people used it against me, but now I'm not shy but if I had it to do all over again I would not have worried about how cool I acted or how much I talked or how sociable I was because it doesn't matter but I do not talk still as much as I used to but some people talk a whole lot and say nothing and I don't really care for people who talk a whole lot because that is worse than being shy because if a person doesn't like you for yourself they will always not like you if you try to be something you are not and furthermore, there is no place in this world for yakkety, gabby people because they are a pain in the butt and they won't let others talk and I learned not to be like that but still If I had it to do all over again I wouldn't have worried about not talking as much as some people do and just been myself instead of trying to act cool and join a club or learn how to be funny which I am not, because that is rude when people talk so much they think that they are special and no one will ever catch me talking a whole lot. -

I would have never fallen into peer pressure!
In seventh grade
someone nearly forced me to take a drag of a cigarette and I still like
them....I would have stayed true to myself and not fallen into the sex
before marriage trap.
Oh so many what if's...but I am who I am
because of those faults and mistakes and I think that makes me stronger
and better,somehow.... -

Wow, what a great question!
Hmmmm. I don't regret much in my life, if anything. I'm a pretty passionate person and pretty much say what I feel. I was going to talk about a specific part of my career that I thought I'd regretted not pursuing, and kind of do. But overall find that kind of superficial compared to other more important aspects of my life and development. Like women!
Yes, women. If there is anything I regret, is not taking advantage of the potential really good times I could have had with a variety of women friends I had growing up. I was too much into my own world and crap, and didn't have the perspective to just let go and experience more of those connections. Not in a physical sense, but just having fun sense.
I've been married for some time now, with children, and am happy. I've always had a sense of how precious time and life are, but have realized that to enjoy it and be thankful of what you are given, is the real key to it all. It's an amazing world we live in. And I am consistently amazed how people live, what experiences they go through TO live, and how that helps to shape our overall perspective on life.
The best advise I think I've ever been given, was from my acting teacher. She said that in order to be seen, you have to be willin...Wow, what a great question!

And it's scary, and upsetting, and emotional, and frightening, and lovely, and fun, and overall amazing!!!
Fear plays into holding you back from experiencing your life. The problem with fear, is it turns into control. And once something controls you, your screwed! And that's where regret steps in.(less) -

I would have kept in touch with some of the people in my life. I would also have treated my brother and sister better when I was going through puberty. I am glad to have a good relationship with them now, but I could have done better as a sister then. -

Try, somehow, to change the most painful day of my life. When I was ten I came home from school to find my mother had given my two younger brothers and my sister over to the state of Connecticut foster system. A social worker came to pick them up. My mom told them they were going for ice cream.
Long story...but my mom is a Borderline Personality Disorder, and has all the maternal urges of a slug. She kept me "to have something to live for" but mostly because I was a quiet well-behaved kid who raised myself. So not only did I have the grief of losing them but I had the guilt of not being sent away, too.
