Ah, 20-20 hindsight. If only.

What was that little bit of information or insight that you learned later in life that could have really benefitted you in Highschool? Hm?

(If only we could go back and whisper it to our younger selves...)

There was a girl that I saw at the beach, usually hanging out with the surfers. We spoke once in a while, but didn't hang with the same crowd. You know...highschool.

She was one of those exquisite beautys. Long, straight reddish-brown hair. Deep tan. Almost never wore make up and didn't need to. She had a slim body, but full hips and a walk that said,"Yes, you'd like to, wouldn't you?"

Two years later during the Summer, I was back in my home town and took a community college course English class to get some transfer credits for college. She was in the class.

We went out to a movie and grabbed a meal. I dropped her off at home. Sitting in the car in her driveway, she admitted that she had always had a "thing for" me, but she was too scared to bring it up!

What an incredible summer, but oh, what lost time.

Who knows what may have been, had I known in highschool.
 
There was a guy I had such a crush on for about two years in High School, we were friends but I thought him too HOT to want someone like me so I never did something about it...

About 3 years ago we ran into each other and caught up on school years... we both admited that we had had crushes on each other..... AAAAhhhhhhh.... what High School might of been like if we had both not been so shy ?????????

He is still rather hot these days too :)
 
I guess, on a somewhat different note, I wish I had had more self confidence in high school. I was quite shy, buried myself in academics and music studies and didn't feel that I was on sound footing when it came to dating.

I now realize that I am attractive, worthwhile and a hell of a lot of fun. If I had known this in high school.....welllllllllll, I may have been necking in the music rooms rather than playing scales!

:D
 
Reflecting on it, I would have liked to know how much better my life would have been had I gotten a lawyer to deal with my assistant principal. The man was an ass, and did alot of things that were considered big no-nos for the administration.
 
I wish I had known the results of every superbowl since then. I'd have cleaned up.

What she said.

That and just how screwed up my ex-wife was.
 
I would wrap my arms around myself and tell me...

"No, just because you are pregnant you do not have to drop out and get married. You are a strong person,you can do this on your own."

I wish I had figured out how wonderful oral sex was. I think I would have become the town slut. :p

Ever wonder why I love Lavender?
 
If I knew then what I know now...

I would realize that I was suicidally depressed, and do something about it.

I would have told Rachel that I thought she was so beautiful that I could not keep my eyes off her, and asked her to be my girlfriend.

I would have refused to go straight into college out of highschool, and instead, I would have gotten a job for a year beforehand, and then gone to college full time.

I would have opened my eyes to the girls who were interested in me and dated at least one of them.

I would have gotten out of the house more.

Damn straight... And its not like I've had decades to reflect on this... I'm not even 20 for 2 months yet!

At high school i was nervous, shy and made a complete ass of myself talking to girls for the first however-long it was. Bad Hair in particular... Now I know what i am capable of, as far as girls go, I can talk for hours and hours if i need to....

The things i thought i knew, the things i never could have known. No that girl didnt fancy me she was just friendly...yes that girl fancied me 'cos she was over-friendly.... Damn, boy. The Stereophonics lyrics below really summed up my final 2 years.... if you dont know the song go and download it and you'll see how good it is as a teen love angst track...


:heart:
 
I wish I had known that my boyfriend at the time, (who I later married) would eventually decide/admit he was gay.

Then I wouldn't have married him, and god only knows what might have happened.

Of course I probably wouldn't be where I am now - I met my present boyfriend via my ex.

Oh - and I also wish I could have been a slut. ;)

I didn't have any sex at all till I was 18 - and even then it was just with the guy mentioned above! All the time I wasted!

Damn it, Miles! You beat me by 10 minutes with that post! I read this whole thread to make sure no one had posted that answer first and the VERY LAST POST is yours! :p
 
highschool...

That while working and having money is nice. It doesn't compare to the time you spend with your best friends, making the memories that would last forever.
 
I wish I knew which girls would really have put out had I tried. Some I was too shy to try with and didn't lose it until I turned 18. I dated a girl when I was a sophomore and she was a freshman, turns out she wanted me to be her first but i was too dumb. Years later she told me. She said the "lay on top of me" was her way of saying "do me". To me it just meant lay on top of me. I still smack myself over it.
 
There is NO permanent record!

I found that while I was in High School, fat lot of good it did me!

See, I had quit school at about the same time that principal dickhead told me to never come back....

I paid tuition to go to another high school for a year and a half.... because lo and behold the old high school assholes had lost all 11 years of my records ......

The only satisfaction if I could go back is to have been there when the school cleaned house on all the pricks resposible for my quiting!

the sweet taste of revenge!



the way it was and NOT,
 
I wish I'd known that having the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do.

Specifically, just because it's the truth, doesn't mean I should announce it.
