People Share Their Biggest Teenage Regrets And It’ll Make You Emotional

Ice cold.

Ending a friendship with my best friend because he wasn’t outgoing enough. I was just starting to getting into the party scene with high school friends but he never really wanted to go out. It got to the point where all he wanted to do was play video games on a Friday night rather than going to someone’s house party.

Though I did feel he was holding me back, I felt bad for ending a friendship just because he didn’t like partying. I wanted to be part of a crowd that he didn’t.

This one hits home.

Letting a 19 year old sexually assault me because I was 14, and too afraid to say no, and to tell anybody about it.

Sadly, it’s something we all go through.

Constantly picking fights with my dad and blaming my little brother for everything wrong with my life. Threatening to either kill myself or seriously injure my brother to my mom. At the time I regretted always going back to the house when trying to leave because I felt the absolute need to take the dog with me but now I know there were so many other things I was doing that I wish I had never even considered doing.

…I honestly fear that I may have traumatized my little brother and I genuinely hope he isn’t fucked up because of me and my actions.

Popularity in HS doesn’t matter much when you’re an adult.

Having a giant-ass party – like the kind in 16 candles, fully trashed house.

My parents said I could have 30 people over and they all had to be gone by midnight. I told the entire high school and word got out to adjoining towns.

At midnight I couldn’t get people out of the house. My parents pulled up, everybody bolted and the house was destroyed. Things were stolen, banister ripped off the wall, plants thrown around (???) beer everywhere, stains on the ceiling (???).

It was the first time my mom ever raised her fist to me (fully justified.)

Not cool dude, not cool.

16 years old, thought I was cool. Raced a truck from a stop light. Happened to be filled with drunk kids from my school. Their truck hit a median and rolled several times. Two died at the scene. Ambulance took centuries to arrive. Not a day goes by that I don’t re-live the entire evening.
