I know how you feel. I wish I could be 16 years of age again. I hope I could do it better next time....but who knows...maybe I will make the same mistakes.

I'd leave my 16 year old self post it notes lol

If we were both 16 again it would be a fabulous experience. @Capricorn

Sorry, Chic-a-dee, we would all do something different if there was such a thing! But, wisdom only comes from experience and study!

Ha, in my case, this would be so true. ?

I had pondered the thought of turning back time and erasing the 2 people that caused me the most grief in my life. One of these people killed my mom's boyfriend when I was only 6 years old the other is my stepfather one of the worst excuses for a shit stain I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. I had spent many years of self loathing because of my stepfather my biggest regret is that I let myself feel anything. Fact is you can't change the past only make a better present and future for your own betterment.

Whoa, that's some heavy shit, as kids we can't control our environment but as adults we owe it to ourselves to persevere I had a rather traumatic childhood however none of that was my fault, but once I became an adult I told my childhood to suck it, hopefully you've made peace with things you could not control, I have

@Capricorn I have of course the Jedi would not have had it any other way lol.

Your story makes me sad, that you had to have such experience at all and especially as a little child. I hope your heart has healed, even though the scar may never go away. ?

@Freedompath I think about what I do with my children and impulse never enters the picture. I have been told that I am a good dad I do not strive for the kudos I strive to make sure my kids have a wonderful childhood.

@azzow2 good for you!

This twit did it....why can't you?!?!?

Umm negative that mf is psychotic, besides I have no desire to be a 14 year old boy, I don't own enough socks & Suave lotion to accommodate that ??????

Lol. Sometimes I engage in the thought experiment, what would I do if I could go back to my 14 year old body, retaining everything I've learned in the 48 years since I was that golden age, and have a do-over. And yeah, you want to flatter yourself that you'd not make all the same mistakes, and maybe you wouldn't. But my guess is I'd probably make different, and equally terrible, mistakes. The only thing I can be pretty sure I'd be is richer, because I'd buy Intel and Microsoft stock early, and know just when to sell it, and I'd buy Google's IPO rather than deciding it was too risky, etc.

Mostly though it's probably a mercy that the vast array of youthful choices once open to me have been foreclosed.

I definitely would make some serious money moves & I would also keep my 43 year old body ?

Sounds ineresting. What did you have in mind?

Oh a little bit of this, a little bit of that

@Capricorn I love bits!

@MissKathleen This is so spot on!!!

If I could be 14 again, I'd commit murder. The consequence's I'd suffer as a result would be far less and shorter lived than they were.

Don't be killing folks, just kick their ass.. Makes for a better story

@Capricorn If only. The victim, if he could ever be called that would be an elder brother of mine. He used me as a punch bag for years and years and has given my mother a life of hell. I've seen him dish out 40 years of abuse since being 14 though nowadays it is more verbal. I seriously considered killing him in my teens, even tried to poison him once. Had I known what lay ahead, he'd be dead.

@Savage so sorry, I know of two other incidents with brothers...this one man at 65, told me that every Sunday morning when he was growing up, his older brother would frail him down their stairs and the parents did nothing! The other was, here at McDonalds, and this older teenager came out in front of my car, with a younger boy, and was verbally abusing him and threatening him and I jumped out of my car and make him leave the younger boy alone, but he was definitely a bully and moved over to the othersdie of the building! I should have called the police, in retrospect!

@Freedompath My old man was never there even before he left and when he did my mother went out to work, 18 hrs a day 12 on sunday, during the summer season, bringing up six of us with no help from him. I am youngest and the nightmare brother is year and half older. The elder four got away from him as fast as possible, leaving me and him. He had a violent chip on his shoulder, much of it genetic and some driven by our violent abusive father. Low IQ high aggression and only one person to take it out on.

@Savage I am so sorry! It is not like I don’t have first hand experience with abuse. My children’s father was an alcoholic and I was ‘lost,’ (no emotional skills), so my 5 children were emotionally and sometimes physical abused. And as 50-60yr olds, we are still working out all that hurt! I can have a fair idea what it must have been like for the youngest in your family! My youngest, has not faired so well, himself! Plus he has laid it out pretty clearly for me to see. All, that I know for sure, from my (sad) experience, is don’t allow what was done to you, to define you! Even if it takes a life time, to create a better experience than the one that was thrust upon you...it is a life, well worth the work! We are never what was done to us! So claim what you want your life to be like and don’t look back, unless you ‘need to do research on your past!’ Otherwise, it will waste your energy and it will pull you back where you don’t belong now! That is what I had to learn and it worked for me, I see no reason why anyone couldn’t do the same! My best...

Don't worry you'll come back as a cricket next time and all you'll have to do is rub your legs together. It will be much harder to fuck up.

Darn I was kinda hoping I'd come back as a rabbit ? & just spend my days multiplying ?

@Capricorn Best answer yet!
