Moving on in life, as a teenager what do you feel were your greatest achievements and worse mistakes? Have these achievements and/or mistakes helped to make you a better person? Or did they hinder you as you proceeded into adulthood?
gosh this is a hard one - hmmmmmm. I think 13 to 17 were not my best years. Self doubt, lack of confidence, lack of self esteem, too many pimples, not very popular, my figure was at odds with bikinis - they both went in different directions.
My greates achievement was that I survived my school teens relatively intact. Worst mistake was not believing in myself.
Today I can look back on those years and sigh with relief - no way would I want to relive them. I know too much now to want to go back into the past.

I love caves and great layout.
Girl, you sound like me when I was a teenager and I would never want to go back to that time either, but that time also helped to shape us all.
Reading this made me think that you could have been writing about me! Isn't it amazing how similar we all were even though we live on opposite sides of the earth!
Surviving those years is a FANTASTIC accomplishment! :)
I think many of us would agree with you about not wanting to revisit our teenage years. Self doubt and lack of confidence and self esteem seem to be part of the territory. And you're right survival in tact is an accomplishment.
