What is the worst trouble you got into as a teenager?

They were sure the glory years. I remember doing things back in those teen years that still make me blush. I was fortunate that I avoided being thrown into jail, but I bet there are some of you out there who spent the night sobering up in the local jail. What about those nights you told your parents you were staying at your friends place overnight and she said she was staying at your place. They you went out and raised Hell all night?

oh yes! those were sure the glory years. I totally agree! But I'm proud to say that for all those troubles that I have done, I never tried ending up in jail. The worst trouble I got into was when my father was called to the principal's office because of cutting classes during highschool. And yes, everytime there is a night out with friends, all the projects and research papers in the world come out as the excuse to spend overnight at a friends house or to go home late. Another excuse is that "it's my friends birthday so I'll be home late because he/she will be treating us out". Those were the days and I just can't help but smile when I reminisce on those.

I almost think getting into some sort of trouble as a teen is a rite of passage. You have to learn about the world out there somehow. Thanks for your response.

Oh wow, my Sister and I, 22 months apart, never went anywhere we said we were going. I remember one night we went to town to cruise the strip and met up with some friends and went to a college party. We were 14 and 16, me being the youngest. My sister got so wasted she had pieces of fruit in her hair from the hunch punch she was drinking. We had a 11pm curfew and it was 10 minutes of and we were 30 minutes from home. My Sister had a 1968 VW Beetle and I could not drive a stick, but had no choice. It took me 15 minutes to get it backed away from the telephone pole she parked beside. I couldn't find reverse. Finally getting on the road I drove 65 miles an hour all the way home in 3rd gear. I stopped at a 7-11 and poured hot coffee down her throat thinking it would help, only burning her mouth..lol We got home to mama sitting in the dark, mad as hell, and trying not to laugh at my Sister with chunks of pineapple in her hair. We did not leave the house for months. I learned to drive a stick though...lol

Oh and another good one, the above post reminded me of...My Dad was a Deputy Sheriff in our town. My first boyfriend and I were at "The Dip", a local "necking" spot back then. We were all hot and heavy when the cops pulled up and shone the light on us in the car. To mu horror and especially my boyfriends it was none other than my Daddy. I caught a ride home with him that night, and didn't hear from said boyfriend again. I think he pee'd himself...lol

I guess it all depends on what you consider trouble. I flashed a cop at a family reunion, but who hasn't. I started a food fight once, got in minor trouble and had to clean the cafeteria up. What idiot put carpet in a school cafeteria floor is beyond me. I got suspended but that is about it. My parents were very understanding about it. Other than that I got in minimal trouble. I guess I am lucky. My record is squeaky clean.

I can think of 3 bad moments right off the top of my head. 1.) My friend held a party while his parents were in Mexico. It was 4 a.m everyone was passed out and the entire kitchen was filled with smoke. I couldn't see anything. Some guy stuffed something into the toaster and passed out. Quite a bit of it was a blurr but, I was able to cradle the toaster get it outside and put out the file. I woke almost everyone up with my yelling in the kitchen. And instead of being the hero I got blamed for trying to set the house on fire and breaking the toaster. Real nice! 2.) I'm 16 years old 3 of us just got our licenses. I'm in the passenger seat my buddy is driving and my other friend is drunk in the back seat. Were driving up a big steep hill with a double yellow line. My buddy decides to pass the car in front of him and go over the yellow line. ON A HILL. I say don't do that you can't see if anyone is coming over on the other side. That is what the yellow line are for. He proceeds to do it. I'm fighting with him in the car. I truck comes flying over the hill straight at us as he is looking at me. I reach over and pull the wheel back just in time for us all not to get killed. 3.) I will make it short. 16 at the time. I had been drinking. I hit something backing up at a 7/11. I panic and take off. Next thing I know 3 squad cars are at my mothers door. When I pull up they haul me off in cuffs. I'm facing a 5,000 fine and a year in juvenile hall. It turned out to be a car not a person. They never showed up at court and I was let go.

Well I've been a devil too but I wasn't sent in jail. Too many to describe though. I made silly things more when I was little, before I went to school. Once I played UFO with my mom's favorite dish or many times I accidently broken the lock door and we had sent someone to break that door from the inside but climbing the small windows that were above the blocked door. Or I had many fights at school or I changed a broken chair and the teacher set on it...but I didn't wanted to happen this thank God I wasn't caught. Too many to be written.

Probably the time I got caught shoplifting from a 7-11. It was just a dumb thing I was doing with some friends and we got caught with it. I was so embarrassed and got in so much trouble, my mom freaked out. I was grounded for months and I've never stolen anything again.

my boyfriend and i were parked and necking (thats what they called it way back when), and the cops came to the parking area where we were, so my boyfriend took off really fast, and the police chased us, eventually caught us, and they took me home to my parents house, and told them what i was up to... how embarrassing.

Just as a teenager? "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional." Chili Davis I am willing to bet some discussionists are still getting into trouble well into their octogenarian years. And why not? Worst trouble I got into as a teenager was making prank phone calls. I won't divulge the extent of the pranks but police were involved. Why should people suddenly stop having the pleasure of an andrenalin rush from doing something "naughty" just because they've come of age? They shouldn't. Obviously there are varying degrees of "naughty" and I mean it in the sense where no human or animal are/were harmed or had their life extinguished or placed in jeopardy.

I guess I wasn't much of a hell raiser because the worst trouble I could have gotten into was one of the few times my Dad let me use his car to go out on a date. He told me not to go anywhere else. I ended up getting stuck with one wheel of the car hanging over a brick ledge above a ditch when I was backing out of a snowy driveway of a friends house. Luckly, my best friend lived next door so my friends and his Dad helped me get out of the ditch. There wasn't a scratch on the car at all. My Dad never knew anything except that I was late.

this age is such age which sis similar to walking on the sword edge. If ur not matured enough to rule your senses, u r gone. But at the same time itz luring, passionable, lusty, exciting, and hard to resist.
