If it were possible, would you go back and time to fix or completely alter ONE thing in your life? If so, what would it be? Please be honest.

Now that's a difficult question, because there are lots of things that I wish I hadn't done, and lots of things that I wish had not been done to me, but those things that were done to me made me the person I am today, so it's hard to want to change that, even though it was horrible.
If I were going to change something in the past, there are too many wrongs to right, and so to pick just one would be too difficult a task. Then I would have to ask myself, did my careless action towards this person (whether it was intentional or not) cause them to be a better person, or did it cause them to be a worse person?
In the end, I guess I would have to go back and change the moment that my father blamed my second brother for my first brother's death. My dad was hurting and did not realise the far reaching effects that that comment spoken at a rather -- no words to explain it -- moment brought about, nor did he mean it the way my brother took it, but my brother has been scarred for life.
That too would in effect change my life, albeit indirectly, but what a thing I wish I never knew.

I'm sure there is a lot of things a person would do differently if they had the chance. Me, I would change the way I look. But, I know I can still do that if I would try harder. But everything is a learning experience and that is why it's called life. Don't sweat the small stuff it's the large stuff that gets in the way.

Yes if I could go back I would go to the day my Dad went to the Dr. and the told him it was only the flu and it turned out to be lung cancer, by the time it was found it was too far gone to fix and he died 6 months later,so I would go back to that day and have him get a second opinion and have the cancer removed so he would still be here today.I miss my Daddy.

If I could go back in time, I would have attended college right after highschool. I'm sure my life would be completely different now. Not that I'm not happy w/ the way I live, I just know things would be different.

I would go back to junior high to a dance where this guy I had a huge crush on tried to talk to me. I completely froze and could only say like one word to him. If I could go back I would have said more. Its one of those things I always regretted not doing more when I had the chance.

At age 20 I dropped out of college and quit my job to take care of my terminally ill grandmother (a decision I do not regret and stand by to this day!) If I had known then, what I know now I would have went back to school immediately after she passed away....

NO. because u cant fix or alter jsut one thing if u mess with anything u completly screw everything up.and stuff have u ever watch back to the future?? u would have issuses like that and stuff. like if i said i wished i had not met or dated someone it could alter everything to where i wouldhave never met my husband or had my kids and stuff. like for my husband if he was to fix or alter where he had never met his ex wife there would be a good chance that he would never had met me and we would not have are 2 wonderful boys

No. Because of the paradox.
If you go back and change that thing, it never happened, so there would have been no reason for you to go back and stop it, therefore it happened. You just get caught in a time loop from which there is no escape.

I would go to a different high school.
I was in a very unhappy high school, where kids were smoking crack, burning themselves w/ cigarettes and someone killed a little boy, then mutilated his dead body he also killed the little kid's mom and mutilated her dead body. The other kids were so depressed that they didn't even care. One guy tried to kill me.
Kids did nothing other than sit on te railroad tracks.
I got very depressed and got really bad grades, then couldn't go to the college I wanted to go to, I have been severly depressed ever since high school. I think I would have gone to another high school if I could.
I come from a very WASPy house, where you don't complain. You really are supposed to kill yourself rather than complain. So I didn't. I am now regretting that decision.
