Is there anything that you regret when you was in your teenage years?

Question

Even though, I'm still 13. I still regret something. My grandfather just past away. I never had a chance to get close to him as my mother and father did. He was my mother's father. Now, I regreted it because now it is too late. I wondered if he knew how much I loved him...

Answer 1

Yes and no.

I've been through a lot in my teen years. I've experienced a lot and seen a lot. I spent a few of my teen years in bed or in hospital because I was very sick. There is a lot I wish I could remove from my life, things that I couldn't control.

But because I've been through so much, I now know a lot more and I think I'm more prepared for my 'adulthood'. It was a tough way to learn though.

I'm 18 now and of course there are things I regret but I can't live worrying about them because it makes it very difficult to move forward if you do.

I'm sure your Grandfather knew how much you cared and loved him. Just because you weren't close, doesn't mean he didn't love you. I'm sure he did.

Answer 2

I try not to regret anything. I look at it all as, "I screwed up, but I learned, so I didn't screw up so bad". I used to get really upset over some things, but now, if I really feel as if I regret something, I try to figure out the good part of it. Like now you know to let people know how much you care about them. See, there can alway's be something learned from our mistakes. Acting on them is still something a lot of us have trouble with though.

Answer 3

First, lemme tell you I'm sorry about your grandfather. The same happened with my grandmother when I was 15, and often wonder the same things, now that I'm older I know she knows how much I loved her, and I swear I feel her around me, especially the day I graduated high school - I can't explain that but you might feel that too.
There weren't many things I regret doing when I was a teenager. The biggest was hiding who I was from everyone - I was scared of letting people get to know me, and I'd be lying to myself if I said I tried to get to know others. That set me up right out of HS and starting college with alot of cruddy feelings. I say this: the heart definitly is true to you when you listen to it :D

Answer 4

I'm sorry to hear (read read) about your grandfather. (pun was intended, trying to cheer you up)

I have lots of regrets every day, like not doing HW/not cleaning up after food, etc. for which I get grounded occasionally. But, I don't have any major regrets in life. I guess it's because I take life as it comes and think that there is no Command+Z in life (or cont+Z for PC users).

Answer 5

I regret not applying myself in high school and blowing off college the first time around. I could have had a much better career if I'd started at 24 instead of 42.

Answer 6

Sleeping with my ex bf mate when i was still with my bf. Im 16 and that happened a year ago. I regret it so much.

Answer 7

I know what you mean, i had that same feeling when my uncle died (he was only 29) sadly enough though, you cant re-wire the time clock to go back and change it. so live in the moment, and live to a future you might not have.

Live well, laugh often, love much

Answer 8

Hmm there's one thing but I'm still not sure because I'm PRETTY SURE it would have changed my life forever if I would have so I don't know, even if now that I think of it I'm laughing about it and not even sure if the intentions behind it were true at all.

Answer 9

thats exactly what happend to me when my uncle died i was close to him but not as close and i really regret that because i really loved him well i still do but i still wonder if he knew how much i miss him and loved him

Answer 10

Of course, people of ALL AGES regret things.
I rarely doubt that the people who say "i dont regret anything" are lying... because regrets are humanism.
