Elaborate on any issue that made you want to travel back in time to change the course of action and set it right.

Up to this day I don't regret the things that i have done I regret what I have done yet. Whatever i did is in the past and regretting it won't change that.

Hmmm, this is under the Friends category, so I take it the regret would deal with friendships?
If that is the case, I regret not having told a friend from grade school who entered high school and attempted to pull off a "rich" attitude, that she was wasting her time. I'd have still lost her friendship, however, perhaps she'd have treated me less as an adversary and more as an ex friend she hated because I dared put her efforts down. Where she had to work at making people believe she should be popular due to a perceived well off stature, I had to work at trying to play down that same stature. She wanted snobbery and I didn't.
Now if you are speaking of just about anything in life? I wish I'd confronted a relative about a rumor he circulated that damaged a number of relationships beyond repair. If I had that opportunity today...I'd definitely take it.

The only things I regret are the times when I've hurt another - either deliberately or accidently, but I wouldn't travel back in time to fix anything. I've learned many lessons from my mistakes, some of them very painful, and some that I'm still paying for. My new mantra is, 'Give thanks for the lessons that were learned, move on, and try to prevent it from happening again'. Getting caught up in wishing you could change the past is a dangerous hole to fall into, and a waste of time and energy.

Well, I dated this guy for 9 months and it was an abusive relationship there was a lot of physical, emotional, verbal abuse. The last straw was rape. I would have changed ever dating him. Thinking I could change him got me involved with him. However I felt in love with him and I was blinded by everything that was taking place between him and I. He was very controlling to the point of what I could wear how to dress, my hair style, makeup. EVERYTHING. I don't want to go into to much detail b/c it brings back bad memories. Going through that though made me stronger and gave me more a back bone towards men and the warning signs of relationships going south.

Several things actually. I wish I hadn't picked a fight with a particular guy I liked in sixth grade. I wish I had never showed a neighbor my aunt's plant even though she asked me to. I wish I weren't so shy and asked out the guy I have liked since I was in sixth grade. I wish that I could stop caring what others thought of me all the time. But overall I don't regret being alive.

No not ever. That includes all the stupid things i have done. I firmly believe that if i changed even one thing in my life that everything from that moment on would be different. So I personally would never change anything. Think about it from that point on everything would change even all the good things.

Yes i regret going to college where i did. I should have listen to my parents and graduated with my asssoicates and then went to a university. Instead i didnt listen to them and couple classes didnt transfer and i met a guy and fell in love with him. He really broke my heart and i got depressed and failed out of college. (by the way im going back to school and am okay now.)

I do regret one thing...I let the "one" move away without telling her how I really felt. She and I are in contact again and she confessed that if I had said something things would have been different between us and she would have stayed with her uncle locally to be with me.
Would I change it if I could...no. If I did I wouldn't have my 3 beautiful daughters witch are everything to me.

Being honest about a medical condition that hurt no one but me. My life took many turns for the worse when I was diagnosed as a manic-depressive schizophrenic.
