Well I'm sure most of us have a few regrets from when we were teenagers. We all know how tough the teenage years can be and it was a time where we were trying to find ourselves and made a few mistakes along the way.
For me, I mostly regret not showing my parents how much I appreciated them and also not giving them the respect they deserved. I used to hate when they would "baby" me, but really all they were doing is looking out for what was best for me.
Do you have any regrets from your teen years? Share them with us.

I think mine would be about the same as yours. Being nicer just in general to everyone though not just my parents!

I regret that I was always in hurry to grow up, to reach 18,to get a job. I was always thinking about what was next.
I didn't really enjoy those moments fully, the way I should have. I know now those were the best years, I guess though
the lesson that I have learned, is to stop taking the 'now'
for granted, count and enjoy all of your blessing...because you can never go back...SS

Well, I regret dropping out of school and becoming pregnant at such a young age. I don't regret my son AT ALL. But I wish I would of waited a few years to have him. But, you know, after everything...I have a pretty nice life and A LOT to be thankful for...so, I guess things didn't turn out too badly... :-)

Honestly I have no regrets. I was a quiet kid and a good kid, so if I had to come up with something maybe I would have been more social. However, I was happy in HS (and now) with the small group of friends I had, so really I guess I don't regret it that much :)
