I would definitely "talk back" more. Why do people tell us no to "get smart" or be a smart alek, yet they expect us to get good grades in school? LOL Smarting off is a mental excercise and people need to quit pitying themselves and their poor bruised little egos when their kids out-smart them!!! LOL

What? LOL If I were in hat situation I'd tell my boyfriend to let my son think he's right. For one thing, the son may well be right, and for another thing the young lad is learning how to think for imself and stand on his own two feet. What's so disrespectful abou that?

i dont know...everything that has happened to me, i have used and made better things out of it. i believe everything happens for a purpose, even though at the time it happens, the purpose isnt clear, but seems stupid and meaningless. but like 10 years later, when u look back, u know why it all happened that way. well, since elementary and high school are so lame, i would have played more in elementary school and graduated early in high school like some people i know did. i should have done the same thing but i decided to go with the flow until graduation. if i had graduated a year early, i would have gone to a junior college for my continuation and transferred to an art school somewhere. then maybe gotten an mba in the evenings so that i can further promote my artwork and novels. i am ambitious person, but not a nerdy type. i am just considered intelligent because i think a lot and i read for fun. but i always like to improve myself and my current skills to better myself.

I agree with you 100% and its cool when people look at stuff like that I feel really the past should stay just where it is at you can not change it so why I refuse to Let things bother me because the bothered me enough when they happend I refuse to let it bother me now!!!!

No, I wouldn't. I don't mean that so quickly, but I don't think I would be able to stomach my life again. Especially, knowing what I know now and the outcomes of what I've been through. Now, if I was able to change the past, I think I might go back in time. It all depends on what I would be able to change too. And how far back we're talking here. I'd go as far back as the womb.

I don't know that I would do anything different honestly. I am where I am in life because I did the things that I did the way that I did them. Hopefully that makes sense. I may have made some bad decisions, but in retrospect I don't see how I could have handled them differently without compromising who I am and what I stand for.

There is simply too much I would change...and not enough time to write it all down. I'd start off by being born to a different family for a start. I'd try harder at school and if I was unable to do well ask for help. I would look for a career early and set my sites ahead and plan things to get there. I would not get married or have children. I would wait for a decent man to come along who was capable of loving me. My career would hopefully give me a decent lifestyle where I could travel and really experience and enjoy life to the best of my abilities. What about you? What would you change?

There are probably a few things i would/wouldn't have said. Some that hurt others, some that hurt me. Moments and chances lost. BUT to dwell on missed opportunities and regrets is to lessen the achievement and success of the things you have done which you are proud/glad of. Some people for example resent a missed relationship ... how must that affect in future ones and does that degrade the view of your eventual partner? but i digress ...

I don't think I would change anything. If I did, I wouldn't be where I am. Most of the decisions I've made have been with God's favor so to go against his will might lead me in a different direction. Sure sometimes I wonder why things happened and if I had done something different I would be in a worse predicament. I would like to have known about a few things so I could be more prepared but I wouldn't change anything. Great discussion topic.

It is just a thought[imagination]isn't it. But for sure if had to have an oppurtunity to do so I would definitely wipe out whole lot of bad things from occuring and even my bad habits of lying and whatever it were at that age and be the most good boy around. I would also study more dedicated and devoted. Never let my friends go from my life, concentrate more on my hobbies of singing,acting and writing which i was very good at. Again i would hold the momoents of my decisions of my professional life with more wise decisions rather the sentimental and short termed steps taken by me. I would also not let my love go away as i didnt take more seriously on my own but did as was suggested by my then friends. Above all i would like to wipe out those moments where i without any second thoughts spend my earning with no limits onto my so called pals who stuck to me just for the sake of money. Basically i would like to do whole lot of right and good things for me without a drop of negetivity in my life. But alas these are all things to be thought and sighed about cannot be changed isn't it. any way thanx dear to put forward this topic. best wishes for u so that u live life more wisely rather sitting around some day and thinking what make over can be done to ur life.

You know I Used to sit and think about what I would do over and one day It came to me that you can not have any good in your life without bad because without bad there could be no good everything would just be the same how boring that would be just to feel the same all the time I know this may not make sense to you cause Sometimes I confuse my self But everything in our life happens for some reason and you seem very wise now and the things you went through made you that way!

If I could do it all over again, the first thing I would change is to take my education more seriously. When I was younger, I never took school very seriously and my career path has suffered greatly because of it. Although I enjoy being a cocktail waitress, at times I feel there is so much more I could be doing with my life if I had stayed in school. Yours truly, Tianna
