Life is nothing but choices. Each choice we make presents us with a new set of choices, and the combinations are infinite. If you could change something from your past, would you? Do you think you would be the same person you are today?

no
every choice you made is what made you who you are today. and if you make a decision, be it right or wrong, you need to stand by your decision because you made it and you have to accept the consequences of that decision be it good or bad.

The event that I would change in my life is when my parents got devorced. Yes your theory is a very good one I have to say. My parents got devorced when I was in the 1st grade, arounnd that time my grades dropped from an A to a C. This lowered my confedence a lot. So after that I litteraly thought that I was fat. If I looked in the mirror I wouldn't see my normal self, I would see with an added 200 lbs. Then I started to starve myself, not a lot, enough so that I would loose some weight. Then came the depression and stress. I constantly has thinking about killing myself. I tried to snap out of it but I couldn't. Still today I am fighting. The reason I am answering so openly is because you kind of don't really hear this kind of stuff, everyone says,"Oh we can't get involved, it's for their family only". Anyone that you know like this talk to them, it helps a lot! I have been studing phycology for about 3 years. And I'm in high school, this experience has done alot to me as you can see. So because of this I now yearn for knowledge of practically anything, I watch stuff people would think is so borring.
If this didn't happen to me, I would probably be one of the non-caring people out today! So you can really change a negitive into a postive.

I might. I married the wrong guy. There was one moment where this voice inside said, "NO! don't marry him". But I did anyway. I missed the love of my life who was out of the country that belived in us at the time. So I got divorced 14 years later, discovering 8 years of infidelity with my fourth child in my tummy. I have not been bitter about my divorce, it is not until my children have gotten to be adults that I realize what a bad influence staying with him all those years caused. I still have pain from it, which surprises me at times. On the other hand, I would not have met my sweetheart of 10 years had I not gone through it, nor would I have been the assertive, self confident person I have become. My little kids have had an opportunity to have a decent man as a father, and it shows as they have grown up. I still hate dealing with my ex-husband, even though we get along. Your life is never really yours after you have children. But I do look forward to the day I don't have to see his ugly face every other weekend. A reminder that my destiny is still influenced in part by that one error in marrying him.

Yes, I would change it. And yes, I would be very different than today. Sometimes we are just victims of fate, of what life throws at us. Still, we also have made poor choices. If possible, I would go back and change either type of situation or at least change how I reacted to a situation I had no control over.

We are what we make of ourselves and life is the Great Teacher. I've often wondered about it. Many tradgedies in my life. I'm happy being who I am tho. I've sacrificed many things and of course, like all of us, I've suffered a good deal at my own hands with poor choices on occasion, but, it's all how I got to be who I am now. I would bring back my nephew who was killed by a babysitter. I would somehow find a way to keep my younger brother from suicide. There are many things I would do, but, only for others.

Depends on what gets changed. If you change your answers to get a better exam result, then that will affect your choice of career, whether or not you go to University, which in turn affects the people you meet.... possibilities are endless.
Myself, I would not change a thing. I am happy with my wife-to-be and would not do anything to change that.

I completely agree with what you've written, and some of the bad things that have happened to me I would not change, because they do make me the person I am. but if I could redo some of my parenting, knowing what I know now, I would. I would have been more accepting and comfortable with my kids' emotions, and I would have been more encouraging and less critical of them. not that I sucked, but I wanted to be better than I was because I love them so much.

I would love to turn back time and change things in my past. The one thing I regret now is choosing the wrong high school. If I could turn back time, I would have chosen to enroll in a private high school, but life is full of regrets and we just have to learn to cope with it. Good question.

i'd change one little thing, and it is only out of vanity.
when i was 7 or so, i fell off my bike and broke one of my front teeth in half, and the other has a mall crack line in it. if i could go back in time, i'd not fall off my bike, and have two healthy front teeth.
yep, vain, i know. but maybe it's a good thing that the only thing i would change is small. i wouldn't try to alter my life.
