Any high school regrets?

[War Daddy]

I dont have many, but my biggest one would have to be not playing more than 2 years of football. I did track and wrestling all 4 years, so naturally I thought I was content. However, I came out my junior year and had 60 tackles, 12 sacks, 4 fumble recoveries, and 2 touchdowns as an interior d-lineman. I came back out my senior where we posted the best season since 1978. My stats were solid across the board both years, but I cant help but feel like I would have played all 4 years then MAYBE I wouldve had a shot at college ball. Guts me from time to time.


Another was at regionals in wrestling when I was up 9-1 in the match and got FUCKING STUFFED ON A CRADLE. Fuck my life, fuck my life. Came from nowhere, I dont even understand


How bout you?

I regret a few things, but mainly I regret my behavior towards some people. I acted like a prick to at least one person in particular who didn't deserve it, thinking I was being funny WITH when it turned out it was AT. I definitely could have toned it down a bit.

Things like that, I regret. Other things not so much because I feel it lead to my happiness today. It would have been fun to be more involved but I don't necessarily like burning all my free-time for other people, so maybe it's good that I did things the way I did.

I have a few regrets from my high school years. I was a member of the "paint crew" which designed and painted sets for our productions and I LOVED it. I was afraid to join as a freshman or a sophomore because it was made of a crowd that my parents didn't like. In Junior year though I joined it in spite of my parents and had a blast staying everyday I could until the paint dried. I felt at home covered in paint and saw dust exchanging dirty jokes and innuendo I just wish I would've had more time in that. The of my regrets actually focus around my dating history with guys who would hurt me physically, emotionally, and sexually... I wish I would've smarted up sooner then maybe I would have less scars and baggage.

I was extremely cautious in high school, if I could do it again I would be more free flowing and experience things. I am starting to now, when I could have a lot earlier.

People don't realize how much high school means squat until its over and they have moved on.

Being a social hermit, as I was really shy and embarrassed. Felt I could have made a lot more friends if I was confident. Also, not asking this girl to prom and we both ended up going alone. I was shallow and didn't think she was super hot so I didn't want to go with her. What an asshole.

[Hanley!]

There's not really much I regret. I guess if I was to do it all over again, I'd try to take things a bit less seriously. But then I didn't really take things all that seriously the first time around. Also, I'd have a serious think about what I wanted to do in college because I really didn't know or care all the way through school and therefore just picked a random college course when I graduated. It ended up being a waste of time.

I do have one more specific regret actually. In my final year of school, I tried to ask a girl to go with me to "the debs", which is our prom. She found out that I was going to ask her and then kept avoiding me. I thought that was immature: if someone has the guts to ask you out, you should at least have the guts to turn them down. My opinion of her plummeted, but for some reason I still wanted an answer. Even though I knew I wouldn't get the one I had originally wanted. And while trying to get my answer, I passed up an opportunity to ask someone else - someone who actually seemed to want to go with me. I was going to ask her once the weird business with the first girl had concluded, but things didn't work out that way. It was a really stupid decision on my part.

Like SKS said, I wished I'd had the ability that maybe I have now of taking the piss outta myself. There were some situations where I let other people dictate and wished I'd laughed at them and brushed it off but I reverted into my shell.

Other than that, I wished I'd taken more better use of the library and read books more regularly. Not related to my subjects but do what I do now, just read on different subjects.

Oh, and not groping any of the hot female teachers I had but I obviously wouldn't have the balls to do that but just fun to imagine.

[Kirbi]

I would've tried to get the best of my crippling depression sooner, so I wouldn't shank my Leaving Cert so badly (and so I could've spent that time being happy, of course).

[Matteo]

Being too conservative.

I had the opportunity there and then to 'do it' with this person I liked for so long and I just didn't make the move.

In retrospect, it wasn't too bad, I guess, since other events unfolded, but still.

[War Daddy]

The old saying is true. "High school is the best amd fastest years of your life". God I miss it.

[Twister]

Looking back school, especially the last couple of years were the best years of my life. Would love to go back and relive those days again. I really don't have many regrets, except maybe my lack of confidence and self esteem when it came to the opposite sex.

I regret getting booted out of sixth form but only because it meant the end of my laid back life. In high school I wish I'd tried harder, such a typical answer I know but I got really good grades without picking up a book so imagine what I could've accomplished had I actually put even a little bit of work in.

[blackparade]

I wish I had never joined JROTC. Looking back, I could've done PE and gotten in shape to play baseball instead. Also, I regret not going to my senior prom.

[Westcoastvibes]

No regrats, not even one letter

[PorkChop]

- Not trying hard enough
- Having a shitty haircut
- Breaking up with a girl when I was in Year 11 who since turned out to be a worldie

[BrautFan]

I pretty much did what I could in high school as far as student government any other manner of posturing and popularity-winning bullshit was concerned. However, I suppose I regret not taking a clear and open stance against small town shit-kicking sports worship. I wasted valuable time with basketball and track and field. Admittedly, it was fun to be the school mascot my senior year and not really give two shits about losing games. I also horribly regret not being more informed about what to focus on in high school academically to serve me better in a future career. Clearly, that was a high school counseling error. That is such a silly role to have in a public school. Sigh!

There is no way in HELL you will find me at my high school reunion. I shudder to think of how much they have all reproduced like bacteria, and with whom...

No regrets for me, well since I was bullied every fucken day maybe my only regret was that I wish my parents didn't force me to go to this private school. They wanted me to go there since it was family tradition but rather of got a fresh start somewhere else since all the bullies from Elementary school went to that school to.

Yeah, I was the same man. I always got good grades and never put any effort in. To be honest, I think the school system worked against me in the end. Everything came easy to me up until I was about 16. I was breezing by as others had their hands held through certain exercises or studied hard to keep up. Towards the end of school when the difficulty level suddenly increased sharply, I didn't have it in me to study. I'd never had to before so it was a foreign concept to me.

I was still a B student, but I had been an A student consistently up until that point, so it was still a disappointment to me. I was still getting some of the highest marks in English and History, but my grades dropped in other areas.

I read this as 'booed out of sixth form'. I had the image of you walking into class and being met with Paul Heyman-style heat until you had to leave.

Nah, I think Prophet, being the ultimate pro, would walk in regardless of heat (with black shades) and say: Deal with it. And calmly sit down.
