    Got in a drinking contest. After 30 shots of rum, I won. Also, I spent the night with alcohol poisoning and puking on myself.

    Oh! That sounds kind of like the night I drank way too much Zima (that stuff is so gross, I throw up a little every time I think about it now) Ended up hiding in the attic with some guy I didn't know when the cops showed up then after they left I spent the next hour in the bathroom throwing up in the sink. Every time I threw up I hit my head on the faucet and had a huge goose egg bruise right in the middle of it. I still ended up in ER with alcohol poisoning. Imagine if I hadn't thrown any up!

    Actually there are many instances that I am very lucky to not have been killed by a serial murderer that picks up strangers or killed myself from doing something stupid!

    Used to swipe Bartles and James wine coolers from the grocery store we worked at. Boy did we think we were cool drinking those.

    I didn't do a whole lot as a teenager. The things I laugh about now that my prefrontal cortex is more developed are more to do with the things I said and thought. I mean sure, I misbehaved occasionally, I dabbled a tiny bit in substances near the end. But I outlived a classmate, and my best friend had and beat a cocaine addiction. My parents won the lottery as far as I'm concerned, having some very well-behaved albeit sad kids. Most of the disbelief I have now is about how illogical my thought processes were back then.

    Now you reminded me of my first real job at Pizza Hut, I started at 16. We could drink all the fountain pop we wanted. Except a couple of us used the to go cups and filled them from the keg instead.

    Summer break, prank calling with my brother, dialing random numbers. Accidentally called 911. Didn't say anything, hung up. Few minutes later, our town's *kitten* head sheriff showed up to our front door. My dad was the battalion chief at the time. Yeahhh we got in a lot of trouble.

    Ditched school to hang with a bunch of losers, smoking, drinking and taking other stuff. Ended up getting expelled at 15 and lived on the street for a few months before I dragged myself up by the bootlaces, got a job and cleaned myself up. (It helped that I moved to a different city where no one knew me).

    I'm now an upstanding citizen with a lot of life experience that I can draw from when teaching my kids what NOT to do. ;)

    The first time I got high at 16 was on the way to church with my boyfriend. I couldn't stop laughing during the sermon. Good thing the church was large and we sat in the back.

    I had a friend in middle school who had wayyy older friends and one day I skipped school to hang out with them. Worst decision I've ever made. I had a stalker at the age of 16.

    Had sex with a girl I met at OfficeMax. After we finished she told me she was married. A few months later I walk by her and her husband in the grocery store. She was sweating bullets. I said nothing.

    Let's see...

    1. Got expelled for attacking a teacher (funny thing, I never attacked her and the whole class was there to testify but the principle believed the crazy teacher)
    2. Got drunk a lot
    3. Smoked
    4. Tried drugs like weed, cocaine and speed. Found out I didn't like it.
    5. Moved to Spain at 18 cause.. I have no idea
    6. Skinny dipped at winter in a freezing lake
    7. Stole horses
    8. Snug out of the window a lot
    9. Had way older friends
    10. Oh god so many more things but ehh..

    And this isn't really something I did but something I was offered when I was 13 years old and mom and dad would have gone nuts had I told them. I just didn't think much of it back then.
    I've always been very feminine and back than I actually had boobs that now are gone.. One day I'm walking in home when a dude I knew a little (he had a son who was friends with my 7 year old brother) runs up next to me and starts talking about my body. It made me feel very uncomfortable... and I really wanted him gone..
    Next thing I know is that he tells me his friend owns a tanning salon and they're shooting a film that happens there and he asks me if I'd want to play a part in that film, all I needed to do was to wear a bathing suit and kiss him a little... Again, I was 13 and he was a grown up around 35 ish....

    I kindly refused and it didn't register back then how serious that was and that I should have gone straight to the police and I think that's one of the stupidest thing. Should have reported the *kitten*.

    I have so many things I could list here. There has been many occasions that I think I should not have lived through it, or truly wish I had not.

    Experimenting with just about any thing you can think of. I left home after HS graduation at 17, so instead of me getting in trouble with the parents, I just got in trouble with all those folks I hung out with that were older and completely influential in my life. The weekend binges, crashing off campus University parties, and the list goes on an on..

    I am not dead, and I was never arrested, not sure how I skated through to be honest. >:)

    Jesus where to begin

    I went to Prague with roughly £30 in my pocket and stayed for 4 months.
    I had an affair with my Mothers best friend.
    Started working as a bouncer at 16 - telling people older than me that they couldn't come into the bar I was working in.
    I took ALL the drugs.
    Got 17 stitches in my hand when I punched a guy on the other side of a window.
    Was almost expelled for punching a teacher ( not so sure this is stupid, he made an insulting remark about my mother )
    Slept with a Mother and Daughter within 3 months of each other.
    Crashed my Uncle's car.


    I'm amazed my mother made it through my teenage years, I was kind of a little *kitten*. I've since apologised profusely for the *kitten* I put her through.
