Yes, it's still very young. It's never too late to change your life around.

22 is still very young for a guy! I would say no its not to late. If you really feel that they were mistakes and you don't want to repeat them then work hard to make those changes in you life. It also depends on the type of mistakes you made. If they were legal some people might have a hard time over looking them but always be honest about what they are that will get you the farthest!

Yes!!!!!!!!!At 22 you are still a young man. I wished like ever thing I was your age with all the hot women out there these days. You need to resolve right here and now that "from now on, I will not get into anymore trouble because I am a new man as of today". If you moved to a different location and got a new set of friends, that might alleviate your old feelings and distract any old patterns that were causing you problems. Take it from me, geographical changes do work but you've got to learn form your past and not forget it either.

Well, you've taken the first step by realising you've made mistakes in the past and understanding that you need to rectify your life.
Obviously, you've got the right attitude, and I believe you can still make a go of it.
Just remember, that as you get older, people have less patience for flakiness and mischief-making (it's kind of expected when you're a teenager) but 22 is a long way from an old man and if you want to make changes, you will. You've got your whole life ahead of you - just make the right choices from now on.
Best of luck!

You will be fine. I would honestly say that most men I know didn't really become responsible and level headed and really knew what they wanted until about 30-35. This is just what I have witnessed with my friends and family and so on. Take time that you need to take care of yourself and your "healthy" needs (unless you have a child) take care of that too. Do not rush, get all out of system now so you have no regrets when you do settle into your level headed life. Try not to make too many more mistakes though. By being honest with friends and yourself mistakes will seem harder to make. Hang tough!!!!

Hell yea, 22 is still a young age. I am 23 and at times I feel like I am getting old too fast, but the reality is that people are paying all kinds of money to look like they are in their early 20's. As long as you are still alive, you will always have time to redo and overcome in life.

A criminal does seem fantastically undesirable on your resume, yet 22 is particularly out of the cradle interior the eyes of maximum employers. With a criminal at eighteen, and no college, the those that ought to provide you a good job received't be very information. outstanding job performances and sparkling revues from previous employers ought to help, yet those will be difficult to go back by technique of. With a criminal at eighteen, and a school degree after that, the those that ought to provide you a good job are a lot extra probable to work out that you attempt to regulate for the added ideal, and they're going to be a lot extra probable to grant you the great thing about the doubt. in case you imagine you may do it, then do it. Time is on your facet see you later as you're keen to target.

Someone in my family has a felony drug charge. actually several! Keep putting acheivments and time between you and your past. Maybe, write a letter to yourself about how you are sorry you let yourself down then burn it or throw it in the river. From that moment on don't look back. Everyone hits roadblocks, even us w/o felonies. Just stand back up and keep trying.

If you cheated at Monopoly, probably. If you are a mass murderer, then no.
What made you make those mistakes? What have you done to not get in that position again? Overcoming you past mistakes really depends on you.
