<< I managed to get excellent grades (and start college at 12) >>



WTF?!? Viper, how the hell were you in college at age 12?!? Holy fsck!

As for regrets... I regret that I was so stupid to eat so much fscking McDonalds. I ended up at 250 lbs by the time I graduated HS. (I've since dropped 70 lbs in a year and a half).

<<
I regret that I will never have a real "graduation" from high school (in fact, if you think about it, I never even started it!)... I regret that I can't go to friday night football games. I regret that I will never go to a prom, never play on my school's varsity, never take AP computer science courses. I live in this city, but I don't know my neighbors. To sum it up-- I regret that I am missing out on what many consider the most important parts of adolescence; interaction with my peers.

But, I'd better get over it and deal, because next year everybody in my class will be a year older than me...


Anyways, I'm done rambling now.

Well AP CS, that's no biggie. HS can be great to some, but I never liked it that much anyway. Sometimes I think HS can be just a glorified TV special. You are going to be in for a BIG change in college though since you're homeschooled. Good luck!

As I look back right now dealing with a health problem at the age of 25 I regret when things took a turn for the worst when I moved and started a new school in the 7th grade. Its been lows which are peaking right now with some things in my control and the health crap out of my control. I ain't one of those strong people that can move on.

Lots of things, but I usually don't dwell on the past.
Things like slacking my way through HS and college and pretty much wasting my twenties. I'll be 30 in March.
My regrets all basically revolve around not doing something I could have, so my advice is take the risk and do what you want when you have the chance, within reason of course.

lots of small regrets, but i guess a main one would be not having a good relationship with my parents and other family members...
