I'd start lifting at 14 instead of 17.

I'd take less of my teachers' shit since I would still know everything that I know now and not need to learn again.

I would not take AP English Literature since I would know that I would not be given credit for it when I got to college.

I would take the AP Computer Programming test so that I could get credit for Computer Programming I in college which was the biggest bullshit course I've ever taken.

I'm sure I'll think of some more...

I wish I had it to do over again. I wouldn't think that I knew everything. I would have listened to my parents more. I wouldn't have become such an asshole when I turned about 15, which would mean that I wouldn't have gotten kicked out of my house a day after I graduated from high school. Which would also mean that I wouldn't have had to live in a car on and off again for several months when I couldn't stay at my friend's parent's place. My parents will still pay my college tuition, but had I not been such a dumb fuck I would have lived at home with my parents, going to college, so on and so forth. Now I am 24, trying to get back into college, make about 44 grand a year at some job that I wouldn't piss on the building to put a fire out, but I'm stuck because I'm just a jerk off with a high school diploma so I can't tell people around there to shove it, or I'll go back to $8 an hour. Now I live in a medioker apartment, have a bad ass car, more bills than I can pay at $44 a year so I am stuck working full time and trying to go to school. How much easier would it have been at 18-22, how much pain would I have not have had to endure with bills, moving all the time. When I was 19 I got my girlfriend pregnant, so now I have a 4 year old daughter to support as well. I lived with the mom for about 3 years until we realized it wasn't working. Now I am infatuated with the life I could have had as a family, rather than being a piece of shit every other weekend father. Don't get me wrong, my daughter thinks the world of me, but that is just because she doesn't realize what it could be like, like I do. I try and get back with her mother, but she seems to be a real unforgiving bitch sometimes. I partied a lot and stuff, and no matter what I do, I can't get her to look by that. I mean, I was 21 for god's sake. She was 20 so she couldn't go out and do the same thing. Oh, son, these are just a few of the things I would have changed if I wasn't such a fucking degenerate piece of worthless shit. Oh, and to top it all off, my loser ass doesn't even know what the fuck I want to do for a living, so I still can't even pick a degree that I think is worth majoring in. Wow, when I break it down, sometimes I realize I'm a fucking real loser, with a great front.

Crazyone --You are doing good for yourself-the front you put on is the exact same as 90% of the people in this country. The diff. with you is, you can admit it is a front. My guess is that most of the people around you have told you that you have to grow up and all that sort of shit. Thats bullshit--kid--live your own life and do what you want, even if you dont know what you want--just live and to all the people that tell you diff. Just take a good look at their lives---You will see what I mean, 44 grand at 24 and your putting yourself through school(fuck -you should be proud of yourself)
I know a guy who is my age 31 and his dad is a brain surgen---This kid grad. in High school 3 rd in the class- went on to college --dropped out and to this day is taken classes with no job ---Puts up a front because daddy is loaded and people think he has his shit together.

Dont get brain washed by one chick---peace

I would have never become so pre-occupied with doing drugs, it became in alot of ways my down fall because I let it control my life and I lost focus and failed to realize the importance of my long range plans for my future, drugs made me care less about that stuff.

I would have started to workout earlier in life, not have eaten all the crap I used to stuff myself with in my teens and would have made a different career choice. I'm making up for lost time now, but it's so much harder than it could have been.

Crazy - Very honest. I admire that. This sounds like a cliche but I mean it: You're 24. It's all still in front of you.

I would have gone to a different college. I had excellent grades and SATs in high school. But I went to a mediocre academic college in a major basketball conference to play there.

Looking back, I realize now that as an athelete I could have easily gotten into Harvard or Yale or another Ivy, and played basketball just a notch lower.

I'm not unhappy with how things are, but I could have met some influential and interesting people there.

I would drop out of school- work 2 jobs, 12 hours a day and saved every penny I made.

I then would've taken my money and put it into internet stocks and been a multi-millionaire.

I'd love to be fourteen again. I'd start playing football freshman year. Never even think about touching a drug, not let all my good friends drift away who I was so close with. I'd dedicate myself to nothing but weight training and practicing football.
I'd also listen to all my teachers when they say how important college is and at least put 50% effort towards schoolwork.
Quitting football was the biggest mistake i ever made. I would give anythin to go back and do it all over. I was born with a big frame and stand 6'5 tall, and just let it waste away through highschool, not ever realizing my full potential, I never gave myself a chance and just quit everything and wasted my life away with drugs.

Yeah, my doc downplayed it, but I did get alot of bad sides. I had joint pain and stiffness for a year, and also got sick several times during and after treatment (Shingles + Staph infection sux). I had a knee blowout the beginning of sophmore year and the X-ray showed premature growth plate closure.

The stuff did solve my really bad acne though

hugh how tall r u ,i didnt know accutane stunts growth,anyway if i could change stuff,i would have ate alot of protein and fat when i was younger my mom has been brainwashed by some guy named dr macdougall,i dont know if anyone has heard of him ,but he his a vegaterian fanatic,and claims protein damages your kidneys and whole lot of aohter shit, anyway from 5th grade to about the end of high school i rarely ate meat,before my freshman year i would only have animal products at the most once every other days,my typical meals were pop tarts for breakfest, bread ,pasta ,rich for lunch,french fries, more rice,soy products,fake hamgurgers and hot dogs,the soy kind, etc, that is about the only thing i would change ,when high school started i maybe ate animal products once a day,but that is still very very low,i mean 1 serving not 1 meal of that, probably still not that much,it actually wasnt till 18 till i started eating "normal" i still had phobia for meat ,by the way from 5th grade-17 i alwasys thought meat would cause cancer,i remember in 6th grade i would always get 2 pizzas for lunch,and rip off all the cheese,and i told my mom about this guy that had 2 pizzas a day with cheese,she said he'l probably die when hes 20 ,and i belived i was so brainwashed that is the only thing i really regret,but that by itself lead to other things,anyway only about less than 6 months i have totally lost all phobia about food and cancer,or health problems etc,now i eat about 8-16 serving of animal producuts a day,when i servings i mean,2 scoops of whey (44g of animal protein,as servings),80 g of meat protein is like 3.5 -4 servings,i dont mean i eat 8-16 times a day,2 low carb bars is at least 2 servings,anyway i just hope it didnt stunt my growth any,because i have heard that studies show protein is the most important thing for growth,im 19 now im 5'9,oh yea also i use to be very aneroxic looking when i was 14 and even before and i am not naturaly skinny ,so for someone who is not naturally skinny to be aneroixic is very hard,its like an endo being anorexic,i probably had hella defiences and shit,another thing my mom is anti doctors,,i never went ot the dentist till i was 17 ,i never really saw a doctor till i was 17-18 ,except for physical injuries,i only went to the doctors if i had a physical injury like sprained ankle,or broken bone or something,same with dentist,my mom believes doctors make things worse,which i is partly true,depends on what it is and on the doctor,but she takes it wayy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too far ,anyway since i switched my diet i think i grew an inch,but i was in my spine i think,becaues i think legs fuse when your younger,but even in high school i would try to limit my meat intake for example if i ate meat one day i would say i must take 2 days off now,basically i would say i can only eat it 2 or 3 days a week,i meant animal products not just meat,i would try to make it habit it always eat pasta and sauce,or rice and bread or french fries,or crackers or shit like that,which is realy all bad,but being brainwashed i thought animal products would kill me,i think i am cured of that phobia now but eve when i was 18 i use to be scared to eat more than 60grams of protein in one meal fearing my kidneys would fuck up,and my mom gave me heat all the time about my diet,and said stuff like " i dont want to lose u" and all this stupid shit,anyway i finaly convinced her after i turned 19 that cant make decisions for me etc, when i was 18,if she was at a italian resturant,she would call me and ask if i want some non meat food ,even if costed 10-15 bucks ,she would bring it,but if i wanted 2 hamgburgers at BK,then i would have to use my own money,what kind of shit is that ,anyway recently she does not give me heat,but whenever i have a problem,like feel i might be getting or bad blood test she will blame it my diet,if someone here showed her studies tha tprotein damaged your kidenys she is so ignorant that she would not care she still believes that mcdougall fucker ,

Being a fat child was horrible.

Not getting made fun of, or picked last at kickball, who gives a shit about that?

The problem was the limited social life that obesity precurses...

Now I am 24 and wishing I would have had the fun I should have had a 15.

But, I am doing it now, living immediately and ignoring consequence is the greatest therapy I have ever discovered.

It is my narcotic -- it mitigates my dysphoria.

Live immediately. Feel constantly. Smile often.

oh yea i didnt even talk about that,when i was 16 i got phosphgen hp and i hid it,everytime i wanted to drink it,i would have to go to my room and do it,also i got this amino acids supplement and i toook 5-6 times a day i always got a spoon and took it to my room,and she got suspicious,and new i was doing something ,and when she find out she was hella pissed it took like a few weeks for her to find out it is safe,i remember her looking at the label and seeing EAS,and i told her it meant experimental and applied sciences,and shes like yea exacxtly experemental they want to experiment on u they dont give a damn,anyway my mom called them and finally figured out it was cool,but of course she was still worried,they sent us the sports supplement review when she called too,and from then on we were on their mailing list,we even got christmas cards form EAS LOL ,but i think everyone gets those thats on their mailing list,anyway after that she would moniter my usage very closy,for example,if i took some in the morning ,she would be like didnt u already take that today??then i'd have to explain,i only used creatine for about 3 monhts cuz it didnt do anything,and amino acids for 5-6 till i found it was a scam,also when i was 16 i got ultamite orange,and i only used it twice,then my mom knew i had got something because when i broguht it home,i came in with nothing then took my backpack to the car then put it in my backpack then brought it back inside ,anyway that was a bad move because she knew something was going on,something like that i forgot the details,anyway i threw it away because she had been doing a good serach and i knew if i held it any longer she would find it,oh yea and something else to show how ignorant she is,this happened just about a week ago,she now eats power bars ,cliff bars,metrx bars,and meso tech bars,i quit ordering meso tech bars awhile ago and so we were out and their was no bars left other than protein plus metrx ones,tah she does not eat because i eat those we were low ,anyway their was one animal snak( by universal u know how all the products are animal ..something),anyway she would not eat it because she thought it had hormones in it or something,when i had first brought an animal snak home awhile back she looked it at me like i brought steriods home,crazy,anyway i told her that animal snaks actually have more soy protein than meso tech bars,so if anything meso tech bars would be more hardcore,but she still refuses she has a huge stigma ,she goes by the name of the product,and we all know the name does not mean shit the name is just to attract u
