Foolish things you did, when you were young..

Lit my finger of fire. Been hit by three cars riding my bike across the street. Got bad road rash after losing control of a bike with no breaks going down a steep hill wearing only shorts. Rode into the side of a Wal-Mart causing the bike to snap in half. Nearly lost my bike trying to ride through a pond(thought it was just a puddle) . Had a new bike fall apart on my while riding home from a Wal-Mart. Charged a bear with an ax. Set myself on fire making a peanut butter sandwich. Nearly froze to death when I went backpacking without the right equipment. And I have been surfing without knowing how to swim.3

I was a kid in the 70's...everything we did then would be considered foolish today.5

HAHA. My daughter had GORGEOUS blonde hair down to her thighs in kindergarten. One day I went to do her hair up for school (I was a sucker for intricate braids so my daughter never went to school without something awesome and original) and found that half of her hair had been cut off at her shoulder. I asked her how it happened and she lied and told me the next door neighbor girl had done it. So I took her by the hand and escorted her to the neighbors. I knocked and the mother answered. I asked to speak with her daughter. I knelt down and asked her, "Sarah, sweety, did you cut my daughters hair?" She of course said no, and I said told her that's what I thought. I looked back at my daughter and she burst into tears and admitted she had cut it. All her friends had short hair and she wanted short hair too. Needless to say, we skipped school and took a trip to the barbers. It was her very first hair cut ever. I got the half that was left long still in an envelope with my sons first hair cut.. his was at 4. He had gorgeous red hair to his waist!0 -
I was bad about sneaking out of the house and going to a seedy bar to watch bands.
Smoked a lot of dope. Convinced this is why my memory sucks.0 -

My kids. At 6 and 9 my kids tried to wake me up and demand donuts for breakfast at 6am. I told them to go back to bed. They didnt. They kept aggravating me and I told them to just go get a bowl of cereal like normal kids. When that didnt work I cleverly mumbled "you know where the keys are, get your own damn donuts." Whoops..
I heard the car start and the sound of it backing out of the driveway. I was up and running out the door barefoot and found my son already backed into the street and just putting it into drive. His accomplice, my daughter, standing behind him pointing out different things on the dash board. I can only assume she was telling him what to do next..at 6.. I DID yell then. I ran up to the window and told him to pull the truck back into the driveway this instant! They both just grinned at me, but he did. He told me it was my fault, I was the one who told him to get the keys. So I capitulated and admitted my defeat, got shoes on, and drove my kids to Dunkin to get bloody donuts.5 -

If that was me, my parents would have showed me what a donut looks like after the beating lol3 -
All the foolish things young people do while thinking they're indestructible, plus got married at 20. I guess I was somewhat indestructible because I didn't get killed or injured, or with some incurable disease, but I really wish I've listened to people who were wiser then.0

Actually got my tongue stuck on a frozen pole. DUH3

My brother and I had a childhood friend that lived at the end of our street. Well, the friend and family went out of town for vacation. So, one hot day, my brother decided he was going to jump their back fence and go swimming. I ended up tagging along with him and some mutual friends. My little cousin sold us out to our mom, but we had been swimming for a while by then. I could hear her voice before she even came up to the back fence. My brother and friends couldn't do anything, because she already spotted them. I, however, jumped over the back fence of their yard, because there was nothing but a big field behind our houses then. I ran as fast as I could, jumped over our back fence, ran inside, turned on the shower, and acted as if I was in the bathroom the whole time. My brother never told my mother, so it worked out.5

pierced belly button, with a dart.2

Was throwing darts up into a tree. One got stuck. As I was looking up to see where it got stuck, it came back down and hit me about an inch from my eye.1

So my friend, Scotty, has a brick of firecrackers and we're lighting them and throwing them at each other.
We're at a neighborhood farm and there is a stream running through the farm. In the stream are frogs.
Can you guess what happens next?
Scotty puts the firecracker in the frogs mouth and we all run away, far away.
the wick gets wet and the frog just sits there looking at the firecracker in it's mouth.
Scotty tries again. He lights the second firecracker and we all run away... just not as far away as the first time.
The wick burns down on the second firecracker and.... nothing. it's wet again and the frog just sits there, looking at a firecracker in its mouth.
Third Try. Scotty throws the second wet firecracker into the stream, grabs the frog, grabs yet another firecracker and jams it into the poor frog's mouth. He really wants this to work.
He lights the wick. We all stand there, not moving. This is going to be another dud.
Suddenly, Bam! The firecracker explodes and blows frog guts all over Scotty's face and white, Hanes t-shirt.
Final Score:
Scotty: One
Frog: One2 -
I thought a mullet was a really good idea in 1988. Combine that with the White Lion concert shirt and the thick glasses. Good look.3

I hate to pull out the "pictures or it didn't happen" but.....
Lol, awesome story, something to be proud of for sure.

I have been to this thread a bunch of times and each time I come in here I remember a whole lot of things going on in the 80's that may or may not have happened and may or may not have been legal.
In the 70's we were poor, so us kids did everything we could do to get into everything.1 -
I guess my early 20's count as young even though I'm still in my late 20's.... I was hanging out with two guys, one who claimed to be a vampire and another that claimed to be a wolf (they were pretty serious about it and never let up on those characters)...We are all wasted and Wolf wants to "anoint" his dagger with his own blood for a gf so Vampire cuts him on the back with it...then some how I let Vampire give me a small cut on my wrist with some other random tool and he sucked my blood??? He even acted like he couldn't stop and his eyes rolled back into his head. I idly wrote my name in blood on the wolf's back at some point and they acted like that really meant something. I mean, that's probably the stupidest and most potentially dangerous thing I've ever done. I don't trust drunk me.2

Call the emergency service line, then hanging up.

Pissed on a electric fence on a dare and then spent my life until I got married wondering if I would have kids. Luckily everthing worked out.

Pulled a Vaporizer over on myself when I was 3. Spent the next 6 months in the hospital. Half of it in the burn ward. Now I have scars over a large part of the left side of my body.2
