I remember the first day so clearly. I was wearing my new Guess jeans with a pink polo shirt. I had a new spiral perm. My hair was really long at that time. The style of the time was puffed up bangs....and winged out sides.... I chose to one wing it.... I remember walking into the student center talking to my friends. I was absolutely terrified at that very moment. To make matters worse I was painfully shy. I had survived junior high just to be thrown into something bigger than I could imagine. I managed to make sure I was never at any school functions. Other than the occasional Spanish Club meet. I didn't want any part of any of it. I just wanted to do my time and get the heck outta there.
Before I knew it.... It was senior year and I realized.... I had pretty much blown my highschool years. I tried to get involved in things, but it was a moot point. I skipped out of prom with my BGF and went to a movie instead. Don't get me wrong... It was a great movie, but I so regret not going...... It wasn't an easy 4 years. I got teased and picked on. Then teased some more. It's hard to be the wallflower.... I think it took more effort to not be a part of anything.... Anyway, senior night came and I just wanted that one last memory to be a great one. Had a blast, but then the regrets hit me. I had just come to the realization that I wasted the best years of my life...right? So many things I could have done different. So many parties I declined becuase I was adamant about not getting sucked into the whole highschool drama. Graduation came...and went.....
Friends moved away and lost touch. College wasn't my scene..... Nineteen years have gone by... My own 13 year old is in Junior High. Sometimes, I catch myself wondering..... What if? What if I had just let my guard down and enjoyed the last few years of being a kid..... How would my life be now? But then I think... What if I could go back..... Would things change so much that I wouldn't have my son...... So... I think even though I missed out on so much.... I made the right decisions..... Just a handful of regrets.....

- there will always be alot of doubt when it comes to things you "could" have done or said. just remember if you hadn't made the choices you did you wouldn't be the person you are here today. who's to say it would be a good thing or bad thing. focus on the future since it's the only thing you can really change.

- High School went by way to fast for you to really enjoy it. Sure its still not as great but hey you still got a chance to live your life bro just chillax and wanted other people and feel great you have the life you have not the life you want. I mean Im in high school now and Im not gonna let people judge me by my size or by my looks. But then again thats just me so.... I dont know bout you but I think that a High School reuinion would be great way to show your true self.

- You're more pathetic than half the gaia kids on here writing about how pathetic they really are. You're miserable, how about you write a story more so based on how miserable you are instead of trying to beat around the bush about how it came to be.
