If you could go back with all your memories and experiences intact, what would you do differently. Kowing all you know now, would you be a bit smarter, perhaps play less, make better friends, not allow yourself to get bullied in school, study harder, ... Just what would be different with you.

I think I would do certain things differently, everyone always says I was a very well behaved child, so my general behaviour wouldn't be too different. I guess I would concentrate harder on my studies, although the school I went to wasn't very good and not many people left there with the best of results, I might have stayed on at 6th form to do my A levels instead of going to the local college where it was too easy to meet gorgeous young men and end up dating guys more than I bothered to study. I would not have hitched up with my ex and wasted 15 years on him, he held me back quite a lot career wise, although I'm doing just fine now, I think I might have got a lot further if he hadn't been so insecure. I would have made more effort to keep in touch with some of the friends I lost touch with after leaving school and I certainly think I would have done way more exercise and kept up a sensible lifestyle as I started putting on weight in my late teens which continued until I was diagnosed with diabetes a year or so ago. If I had known that all back then, I would have ate more healthily and worked out more.

This is really a very exciting and comprehensive response. It seems you could really do a lot of things differently if given the chance again. It seems we all would. I believe this is by far the best response I have received for this discussion. Sorry to hear about the diabetes; wishing you better health in the years to come. And I must say again, I really like this response.

If I could go back and do it over again I would go back and do better in school. I would study more and actually do my homework every night. Then I would have applied to go to college and gotten a degree so I could have a good paying job right now.
