I'm sure that some people here must have done some things in their life that they regret about and seeing how we're all stranger on the internet, I thought it would be nice to share upon the little tidbits of our life. This may seem like a bad idea but trust me, it is totally cool~ :D

I'll go first, don't leave me hanging okay? ... Kay? Guys...? Don't leave me hanging okay? :D Let's also rate how regretful we are about that one or two things.

Rate what you regret about from X/10.

When I was young; like around 6 or 7, I used to live in a particular area in my country. I used to went to a certain school and made ton of friends. During my stay there, I can safely say that throughout my 17 years in this world, it was my happiest time of my life: My childhood.

However, it did not last long. I was rather naive during those days. An obedient little kid if you would. Always listening to the words of my parents and stuff. Eventually I had to move. My parent told me about this but I did not really get what was happening and then I moved.

It wasn't until several years later (I was around 12 - 13) when I realize the impact of my decision. I wish (Really wish) that I had tried to resisted. Had at least tried to make my parents change their mind.

When I was there, I had two close friend - A guy who I will not name (I owe him more than 10$ :/) and a girl that seems as though to be my first crush (Or love, can't tell).

What I regretted about this was not just because I left behind all of them but because I never get to say goodbye. My mother simply accompanied me to my school during December, took my report card and brought me away from that place. I can remember it so vividly it make me feel so sad.

On that day, my school was celebrating Christmas (I think) and there was a concert of some sort. I was brought to my school by my mother to collect my report card and presto, gone for good.

I really wish that I at the very least had said my goodbyes. It feels as though one part of my life is unfinished and will always be that way. :C

10/10 Regretted.

Wow, that's really sad, did you ever go back or see them again? Or did ever you call them?

(if that question is too personal feel free to ignore)

That's the thing! I lost ALL contact with them. Never even knew the existence of telephone or cell phone or the damn internet during those times! My parents aren't exactly tech-savvy during those times.

I tried to go back to my old school 2 year ago but they kicked me out... Something about outsider not allowed in even after I repeatedly told them that I was an ex-student. :C

Been trying to find them for quite a while but it is as though they never existed. The only thing I remember about them is that I owe this guy (I remember his name as well) more than 10$ because I used to borrow 1$ from him almost daily to buy chocolate :D *Good times* and the birthday of the girl (Also remember the name) which is a leap year. (29th February)

It makes me feel so depress whenever I enter one of those state where you keep thinking about deep stuff.

The same thing happened to me when I was young...except I did actually say my goodbyes and still contact them up until this day. (I have no idea what they look like now though) However, at the time I don't think I had a say in us moving, since we were technically kicked out of the house - my mum had made her second divorce and the house belonged to my 2nd stepfather.

There was something I regretted not too long ago. We had a school Cross Country (long distance run of ~4k) race, which I absolutely fail at. (I'm much more of a sprinter-type) The lead runner (she comes first every single year) suddenly fell and twisted her ankle, and when I ran past her she was sitting on the ground and crying. I fail at long distance runs, but when it comes to sprinting I'm really competitive and serious about it, and if I tripped over in the 100m, I would probably go on a rampage or sulk for the next 2 weeks. I didn't know this girl very well, and since it was a race and everyone else were basically ignoring her, I just ran past without doing anything. I immediately regretted this decision afterwards, but didn't turn back. I should've though, I should've stopped and asked her if she was ok, or tried to comfort her in any way.

Regret level: 7.5/10

However, I was really surprised when she ran past me later on in the race, and beat me although she didn't make it into the top 10. I'm happy for her, and will never make the same mistake again.

Update: Why didn't they believe you when you told them that you were an ex-student :( That's really depressing to hear.

Most likely because it has been around 10 - 11 years since I last went back to the place.The teachers have been replaced or changed and nobody would probably keep a record of the students studying in the school in 2002 or 2003.

Oh :(

Biggest regret so far?

not being outgoing by nature I am painfully shy so I have never had a lot of friends.. In fact I do better online.

regret level 6.5/10
