| This thread is for people to share their own stories about stupid shit they did when they were kids that they now regret. Simple as that. It could've been a prank you did or a lie you told. Maybe you deeply hurt someone but was too young to understand what you did, or other general behaviour that you still feel embarrassed about. There was already another thread about regrets, but I feel that this thread is more specific and will generate different results. I'll write down one of my own experiences once I figure something out. |

| I asked my uncle's girlfriend, who he had been dating for three years, when they were going to get married. They got into a fight about it and broke up later that week.... |

JennyEsquire said: Arson at the age of 12. ...stories about stupid shit they did when they were kids My buddy and I burned a couch on BNSF property (about 10 feet from the railroad tracks by my house). I got as far as handcuffs in the back of the officer's car but my mom came and bailed me out right there. If she hadn't answered the phone, I would've been taken down to the station. My buddy wasn't so lucky. As per the officer's orders, I spent five days in my room writing "I will not play with matches, lighters, or any object associated with fire without direct adult supervision" 1,000 times by hand. ...that they now regret. Oh, nevermind then. |

Despite the usual fun kid stuff like shitting on carpet and toying with other peoples emotions, I sadly have nothing to offer :(. |

| Pressing the fire alarm button in the university my uncle teaches at to see what happens. Ended up having to evacuate the whole campus. A bunch of fire trucks showed up too. Keep in mind I did this when I was extremely young (like 3-5 years old, dont remember exactly). |

| I don't remember my childhood memories much but I do remember hiding in the school's CR the whole class just to skip and promise. I regretted it. It stinks. |
There's nothing wrong with being bad.  |
| I've done lots of dumb things, like any kid, but I can't say I regret a lot. Maybe the period I would steal the keys from construction machines I would pass by on my way home from school and throw them in the bushes for no real reason. But I think the only reason that's still on my mind is because I don't know why I did it. |
| Ara ara. |
| I got taunted into punching a kid in elementary school. The ensuing events that followed traumatized me into a completely different person. Funny enough, I happen to have written an essay on what happened. Boy did I get an awesome grade from it. Still regret it though. |

So, what, you managed to burn out an entire room with a fire cracker? How old and flammable was that bed? The couch I burned was made in 1963 and it still took some accelerant to get it going. |

| Refusing to have my parents/elder siblings to open the door for my older bro on my 7th birthday. We were going through a rough patch at the time. His figure through the door's window was the last I saw of him. |

Reminds me of something else that happened to me as a minor. I was under a Caprice on a lift in the auto shop and I had to crack a fuel line for some reason or another. When I opened the line, a stream of gas shot out of the hardline onto my hand and ran down my arm, into my armpit. Let me tell you, that's a kind of pain I wouldn't wish upon any of you people, and it stays with you all day. All. Fucking. Day. I let out this horrendous yell and all my instructor did was walk out of his office and laugh at me. Not exactly something I regret, but I sure could've gone without experiencing that. |

| I loved apples and still do... I once started crying (I was 6) when I threw an apple away and it got smashed by a car (because I couldn't finish it... So I threw it away even if I was a few steps from home). I was like "Why would I do that? Apples are good, I could have ate it later.", I have no idea what type of feeling could have made me cry at the time really... Possession? Me being stupid? Who knows. I also have a really "dark" (so to say) secret that I don't like talking about. |

| One day on my latest year in primary school i was asking in public what sperm was.( i was 13 and i didn't even know). After my fifth time asking in front of 30 classmates the teacher got really mad at me LOL. |

MellowJello said: Lemme go grab the link... https://dl.dropbox.com/s/k8oxvuiapfpcwff/English%201A%20Essay%201.docx?dl=1 Names have been changed because reasons. Oh, wow. That's quite a crazy tale. The teacher in the story reminds me of some stupid bitch I had in grade school. One day I broke my pencil and she got mad at me for breaking it. When I wouldn't explain how it happened (because I didn't understand why this was such a big deal) she kept me after school and called my parents to "discuss my behavior". Apparently she saw the broken pencil as a sign of 'rebellion' against her authority or something. I think I broke it by accident. Crazy bitch. Looking back, I think I got punished for a lot of non-sensical stuff in school because of my older brother being such a troublemaker, and everything I did was picked up as a sign I might turn out the same. Ironically, it pretty much made me end up like you. |

Anyway, MellowJello, I wanted to say that's quite an awesome story and sad too. I, for what I remember at that age, would have told her "No" and would have refused in any way to get counseling. My mother would never make me do such a thing as she knows and reads a lot about psychology... She would have believed me instead. I was always "mature" for my age, I lived in the 'adult's world', I would hear my mom talk about her problems with others, I would hear people talk about their problems, and when I would ask my mom (even if most of them would be rhetorical), she would never refuse to tell me. Only once or twice I got the answer "You're too little for that", I would always respond with "I think I heard about everybody's problems enough to be able to understand" (even if I did say that in poor words). And then she would "crumble" at me being really pushy. What do I want to say? Well, I can't understand your pain, at all, I'm apathetic and I also am a narcissist, I wanted to say that it's quite sad how education matters too much in our lives. |

| Good to know stories like that haven't been torn to shreds yet by the MAL community. Thanks for the sympathy guys! I just realized I said I had no regrets in that essay. Oops. Yeah I regret it now. |
Immahnoob said: I wanted to say that it's quite sad how education matters too much in our lives. Yes. I dropped out of high school at 10th grade (nothing major, I was just getting tired of having to study and...just of school). I got a GED, and im going to college next year, half a year early than any of my classmates. And im perfectly happy with my choice, getting a GED was way easier than slaving my way through 2 final gruesome years of academics in high school. And im not academically incompetent either i was always an honors student.... But for some goddamned reason, people seem to look at me through colored glasses, just because I have a GED...and didnt complete a "normal" education. |

| Joker, I'm not talking solely about "school education", actually, I'm not really talking about that one, I'm talking about "home education". You see your parents for the first time and they are the ones that educate you, I was educated to be a bit more mature (actually, that was the environment, but my mom did give me that example even if she wasn't "mature" as personality), and I think it was a right choice, even if at the moment I can't taste some people's need of destroying their own bodies for fun and all the mindless pleasure which make them judge me for refusing to adhere to their tastes and actions. MellowJello said: Good to know stories like that haven't been torn to shreds yet by the MAL community. Thanks for the sympathy guys! I just realized I said I had no regrets in that essay. Oops. Yeah I regret it now. No problem, if it was true that is. If it wasn't, you did a good job on tricking us. And I'd give you a 7.5/10. |

ElectricGirl said: My elder brother was the most gentle person in my life at that time. He was so nice and caring about my well being , he always postponed his own comfort at last. I didn't have a lot of toys and flashy apparels when I was a little girl , but all of that was about to change. It was a Monday morning like all the others. My mom was getting me ready to go to school , when suddenly , someone rings the door bell. We were used to the neighbors' visits who were by the way a very morning people who like to share their culinary prowesses with us. So I rushed to open the door , and there was a mail delivery. All I could see were big boxes. My dad signed the papers without even asking , and got the boxes in. We all were curious to know what's inside obviously. My dad opens the first one and finds something. It was a Nintendo 64. Of course my dad doesn't know what that is , but every little boy and girl out there know. I was so excited I screamed : " A nintendo 64! Sweeet!" . My father wasn't sure if this delivery was meant for us or not , but we kept on tearing up the boxes one by one. I was filled with joy . Video Games , cute paraphernalia , dolls , toys , kids' pillows , and a lot of clothes. It seemed all of these deliveries were meant to me, but we didn't know who sent them exactly. The noise in the house could awake the deaf. Naturally , my brother came downstairs to see what's happening. " Joe , look ! Look ! " , I was screaming when I saw him. He just smiled at me , lifted me and said : " You better take car of that N64 you were longing to get. " . I knew it was his doing by the end of that sentence. There were a lot of questions that remain to be answered , but I didn't care , I just hugged him and thanked him again and again. "From now on , you can ask me to bring you anything you want", he said very confidently. And I did took advantage of the pandora box. This series of deliveries and presents continued for a whole year before the inconceivable happens. I was coming back from school when I saw some police officers and other people wearing blue jackets at the door. The FBI. I had the terrible feeling our happy days are doomed to end. They were looking for my brother. He was apparently a hacker who monopolized funds of hundred thousands of dollars from credit cards. We never saw him again. "He just wanted to make me happy" , I said in court. The first part of the story: |

Sorayin said: i used to love stealing things. Same. My situation never went as far, though; I went for useless trinkets, like figures on teachers' desks and keychains. I got caught and was scolded at the worst. That was when I resorted to shoplifting, but I eventually grew out of that. On another note, I used to make up ridiculous stories in attempt to get attention because I was never social and usually "left out." It all backfired. I matured out of that phase too, but that's the one thing I look back on sometimes and think that it was really stupid of me. But yeah, no real "dark" baggage here. |
