I would have had the motto I have now " What some one else thinks of me is none of my business" and then I would have enjoyed high school more.

I would have auditioned for chorus. I love to sing, but was way too shy. I missed out on a fantastic opportunity to make amazing friends.

Let more people know the real me. Everyone thought of me as this really quiet kid and only knew me because I was so great at art. That was the one thing that made me stand out from the crowd, but if I had just been more open and less afraid of being shut down, I probably would have had more best friends and more memories/experiences. Only a few close friends knew who I really was, but I'm not at all regretful, it's life and you mature and move on....

I would have been way more of a cut-up. I used to be the kind of child/teenager that would almost literally cry if someone looked at me cross-eyed. I took everything to heart way too much, which only made the bullying worse, which begat more crying and weird behavior. The clever sense of humor I've cultivated as an adult would have been an awesome wrench in the whole vicious cycle *ahem*ty-four years ago.

Probably tried to be in musical/theatrical productions but my shyness got the better of me. Though I did try out for one in my senior year... kinda wished I had done it earlier.

Well, I'm still IN high school, but there's already a laundry list of things I could've done.

I could've stuck with photography club, I could've went out for drama, I could've gone for the last writing club before the school stupidly shut it down, I could've been free...
Some people might say, "It's still not too late to get the confidence!" Yes, actually, it IS too late.

I would have told this one boy I really did like him. We were best friends from 7th into the beginning of 11th grade. I know we each definitely had romantic feelings for the other, but we never vocalized them. We see each other every now and then because we go to the same college but we both changed. I'll never know what could have been.

I don't think there is such a thing as "100% confidence" at any point., really. Just because someone has a lot of confidence does not mean that others opinions mean nothing. It's just, maybe, that one's won "opinions and values" carry a little more weight. and that's called "self-esteem". It's when the opinions of others means /everything/ to the point that we are unable to function without that opinion, or we get so wrapped up in pleasing that we forget about ourselves that we have a problem.

I pretty much did what I wanted in high school. I had good grades, did choir because I wanted, interned the teacher because I wanted to, took the classes I wanted to, and did martial arts. I was confident, but I probably would have taken more art if I had more time.

being magnetic to women as a result of that confidence - I would have lost my virginity two years earlier and set on an entirely different life path based on the changes that resulted from such distraction from my studies...

Man, I would change so much. I used to be this shy, naive little girl in high school. I let people walk all over me. If I could go back and do it all over, I wouldn't give a sh*t what people thought about me. I'd also stand up for myself when dealing with ignorant, small minded teachers. I'd also skip the school assemblies, because they were the biggest waste of time.

Worried about my schoolwork and not my social life. I graduated four years ago and it's quite apparent that knowledge is worth far more than relationships that pretty much end when the graduation ceremony ends. I feel like some students are afraid to be smart in front of their peers and that's a shame. So if you're currently in high school, stop giving a sh*t and absorb as much information as possible.
