The worst thing you did as a teenager

Shelovesaginger · February 2014

Just for giggles

I got mad at my parents and left one night, staying at a mans house that I barely knew.

What about you?

Shelovesaginger · February 2014

I'm feeling like it's a pink moscato and bubble bath kind of night $:\$ ">

And the deep dark secret kind of bad

YellowBag · February 2014

The one I still feel the most guilt for (although probably not the worst) was making out with my boyfriend in the front seat of my two-door car with my little sister (2 years younger) stuck in the backseat. For like 10 minutes. Almost every day. I should pay for her therapy bills.

I feel bad for giving my 12 year old sister some of my alcohol one time (Back when she was 12)

I was a pretty tame teenager, but I eloped in Reno when I was 21 with a guy I'd only met a few months before, and didn't tell my parents for about 2 months. He was about five years older then me, and his student Visa was about to expire. He was in a band and had blue hair. My parents hated him. So, that's my deep dark secret. The whole thing lasted about a year and a half.

norweigan · February 2014

I was a really good kid. I was that student that cried the one time I got yelled at by a teacher because that never happened and I couldn't stand getting in trouble. The one bad thing was sneaking up to my high school boyfriend's room when it was against the rules at his house. We didn't even do anything scandalous up there. We got caught. He got in trouble.

I used to try and sneak into the room with this guy I used to hang out with, and his mom ruined everything. She would literally call me out of the room and make me watch the History Channel..our fling was very short lived.

Holy fuck you're not my sister are you??? She's even got red hair. Same story, just different details. But maybe you fudged the details?

MmmPopcorn · February 2014

I have lived a blessedly boring life. I once drove out of state to visit my boyfriend and didn't tell my parents (I was already in college). They eventually found out and were very, very disappointed. They had me on a tight leash.

What do I feel the worst about? When I was a senior in high school, I went out on a date with (and eventually started dating) a guy that I had been interested in for a long time. I knew he was seeing someone else, but he swore to me that it was "pretty much over," and I chose to believe him even though I knew in my heart of hearts that he was "pretty much" cheating on her. I really loved the hell out of that guy (he was my first head-over-heels boyfriend), but it was wrong of me to date him knowing that he was seeing someone else. He ended up cheating on me as well, so I suppose I got my just desserts.

redheadscu1 · February 2014

@Joy2611 - We got divorced; no annullment.

@Ducktale- Is that you, Kirsten??

@Yellowbag- I find your story hysterical.

jjsmommy0714 · February 2014

When we were about 16 my best friend and I skipped school to drive another friend of ours back to his base in Kansas. He paid for all gas, food and brought the coke. And no...I'm not talking about the cola. To this day, my parents have no idea that I drove 10 hours and through 2 states doing lines of coke off of my dash board. They never will either.

yeah...I'm pretty ashamed of that entire chunk of my life. I have been clean for a few years now and it is the best decision that I have ever made. I definitely don't miss the days when I judged if something was a good time based on how much I could/couldn't remember.

Much respect for you!

trinitrotoluene · February 2014

I was an obnoxiously good kid. I always have been. There is generally nothing that my parents don't know, and nothing that I am ashamed of. Besides maybe that I do genuinely have no stories.

Ducktale · February 2014

@redheadscu1 Phew. It's all good, we're not related.

ngolimento · February 2014

Hrm... well, my BF and I habitually had sex on playgrounds at 2am. We used condoms, but it's still gross to think of kids using the slide in the morning

Shelovesaginger · February 2014

DLpanda08 · February 2014

I was such a sheltered, hopeless nerd that doing bad things never even occurred to me. The worst thing I ever did was skip the extra worship service in the evening at church to hang out in the lobby of the church with a boy I liked.

College was a different story. Do those teenage years count? If so I plead the fifth lol.

Lizbeth2462 · February 2014

Oh heavens. I wasn't overtly "bad"-- I got really good grades and went to church every Sunday and all that-- but I sure as hell was sneaky. Before I could drive, I snuck out multiple times to meet friends and/or boys, and then when I had a car I would say I was going to a friend's house and go to college parties with my girlfriends. I also got drunk and smoked weed for the first time in 9th grade. But the WORST thing I did was go to NYC with a friend when I was 16 to the sketchiest place ever to buy fake ID's. They worked pretty well for about 2 years and then got taken at some bar with a really mean bouncer.

raelynn71109 · February 2014

I was a pretty good kid but when I was 14 I dropped acid. Crazy thing is I had never smoked cigarettes or pot, or drank more than a few sips of alcohol, or anything like that before then. No gateway drugs for me!

Yeah, unfortunately it wasn't a good trip and I ended up panicking and crying all night. And (almost 20 years later) I still deal with some residual persistent hallucinations. Nothing too crazy, just mild tracers occasionally and I see this weird pattern of red and blue lines in dark rooms.

nikiz628 · February 2014

I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I was definitely Ms. Overachiever in high school. But, my BF and I snuck around to have lots of sex. I mean all the time. (neither of our parents let us in rooms with doors closed) My mom caught us mid action in his truck in our driveway once... that was a fun night. Looking back now at some of the places we had sex, I can't believe how ballsy we were (or that we didn't get caught...besides that time by my mom).

AlfiesMOM · February 2014

I was pretty good the worse thing I did was sneak around with my boyfriend! He came over one night at like 2 am and I snuck him in the basement. Totally got caught was grounded for Junior Prom!

Lomcmuffin · February 2014

On the whole I was a pretty good teenager, compared to my older brother and sister (11 & 10yrs older). They were really bad, sneaking out, breaking into schools at night, drinking, lots of drugs, coming home on acid. I am the 4th child and I think by the time I was a teen my parents had seen and heard it all.

However...when I was 14, I had taken one tiny little puff of hash with some friends and my mom overheard me bragging about being high on the phone later that night and grounded me. That is the one and only time I was grounded.

Aside from that,when I was in grade 12 every Tuesday I had swim practice after school and my parents worked late so I had the house to myself. I was sleeping with with this guy who my parents did not like because he was older then me. He would come over every Tuesday and we would have sex. One time my mom came home super early and I had to sneak him out of the house. He told me afterwards I hurt his feelings sneaking him out. I actually had a lot of sex in high school......

Pookieson · February 2014

Hmmm...I wasn't too bad. Worst thing I did was probably going to a party when I was 16, making out with my ex-boyfriend (when I already had a boyfriend) staying out all night, coming home super hung over and getting busted by my parents. The give away was when my dad came in my room and ran tequila under my nose and I hurled for about ten minutes. All he said was, "Don't pull that sh!t again."

Needless to say, both guys were douches so I broke up with the boyfriend and stayed single for a few years. So, there is a silver lining.

snooks721 · February 2014

I was a good girl by day, naughty by night.

Looking back, it doesn't even seem like "me". I don't know who that girl was. All I will say is going through the things I went through and the things I experienced definitely helped make me the person I am today. I don't regret a thing!

RAHENOS · February 2014

I was the worst teenager, until I was about 23, when I finally decided to grow up (kind of)

Probably the worst thing I ever did was sneak out of my bedroom window at least 4 nights a week and go random places with random dudes I barely knew. I was very rebellious because of all the rules in my household. Looking back, I'm honestly surprised I wasn't killed.

Luckily I wasn't the drugs and alcohol type, but I was way too into sex for my own good. One of the nights I snuck out was with a guy 13 years older than me. I ended up getting caught in his car, he was arrested, and I was brought home by the cops. I had climbed out of my window and left the front door locked, so I had to climb back in, wake my parents up, and let the cops in, AAAAWKWARD!

I pray my children do not end up anything like me..

FoxiePM · February 2014

Drug lots and lots of drugs....but that happens when you are dating the only drug dealer in small town America.

MusicFanatic · February 2014

I was such a tame teenager, my parents were lucky. I have no awesome stories to add. The worst I did was skip some classes here and there. Lame.

MrsG713 · February 2014

I was pretty tame in high school. I was always worried about my grades and super involved so I think I was too busy to get into trouble. College is where all of my awful stories start.

icaughtfire · February 2014

I did a lot of partying in my teen years, definitely hung up with some questionable people. I would say the worst thing I did was at 14, I'd sneak out & take my mom's car to go to a store that sold liquor & cigarettes to underage kids, then I'd go to a party somewhere. I did this numerous times before I go caught and was shipped off to BOARDING SCHOOL! The funny part is, I partied harder at boarding school than I did at home. Having my daughter pretty much changed that lifestyle for me, the worst I do now is drink.

I don't regret a single thing I did. I had a blast growing up, making mistakes & eventually learning from them. Not to mention, since I've done it all there's no way in hell my kids will ever get away with it -- I know all the tricks!

lebradford · February 2014

Oh, god, where do I start? I'm not sure I want to put every detail out there, but I'll say that 7th through 9th grade was a blur or shoplifting, police run-ins, skipped school, truancy issues, drugs, sneaking out, sneaking boys in, more drugs, and anything else you can imagine.

Then I straightened out for maybe a year.

Then I got knocked up my junior year in high school.

My poor parents.

Thankfully getting knocked up put a quick end to my debauchery and I took good care of my son, moved out, graduated college, etc.

mommy2C · February 2014

I was definitely pretty tame most of the time. The most ridiculous thing I did was get drunk in the girl's change room with my best friend right before gym class. I actually really sucked at sports so that day I just sucked more and nobody really noticed. I also used to skip out on school to....drum roll...go hang out alone at home. Oh yeah, I was a real wild child over here.

I totally forgot about shoplifting! I am banned for life from the Busch Gardens in Virginia Beach for a bunch of crap that I stole on a school trip my junior year. Not sure how they would know if I came back. My last name is different and I weigh about 75 pounds less. Not to mention the fact that I am 10 years older now......

WolFox · February 2014

I wasn't too bad but I was bad enough. I kept my grades up and my head down and no one made a fuss. I honestly think my mom was so happy that I finally had friends and was getting out of the house that she just ignored all the obviouse signs of debauchery. If my grades had slipped or I became a mega bitch or hadn't had a job? Then it would have been a problem.

ilovedesi · February 2014

I met some random guy on the subway took him home and had sex with him while my parents were still at work and then kicked him out of the house. (totally regret that one). Oh, I also broke into the elementary school's swimming pool (during the summer) and went skinny dipping with my friends and boyfriend, we were never caught so I guess it isn't so bad.

wells2010 · February 2014

hmm... I don't think I was that bad. I did some usual "bad teenager" stuff. My reputation was pretty bad for partying, which wasn't really true. I did sneak around a lot with my boyfriend. I also would just take my mom's car and drive around while she wasn't home. She worked nights, sometimes doubles, and I'd go party and just make sure I was home by 7am. I had a bad shoplifting streak, which stopped when I nearly got caught one day at the mall. I never got in bad trouble for anything, thank God.

College was really bad. It was awesome though. I wouldn't change anything.

Reading these posts (and reflecting on my own history) make me a little nervous to have a daughter, however. Hopefully, my own experience will keep her from being a sneak.

militiger · February 2014

joined the mile high club on a school field trip - the other kids clapped when i left the bathroom, since i was the first one out. they didn't clap for my BF he was jealous....

catmagick · February 2014

I didn't really do much as a teen. I was very good and took my parents trust in me very seriously. I was very leery or screwing it up. Worst I did was have lots and lots of sex with my high school boyfriend in his car, on the beach and in his room with his parents right downstairs.

College and My 20's are a whole other story. I won't even share. Just no.

ed16564 · February 2014

I was generally pretty good- my senior year of high school I drank- but they were Smirnoff Ices and I stayed where I drank. I just remember how guilty I felt for the hangovers the next day! Honestly my parents don't know even almost 10 years later- they'd probably be proud! Lol!

And of course there was the having sex at 16 with my bf on the couch- but worse than that were all the hand jobs he insisted on- that was a terrible relationship!!

wishiwaspreggo · February 2014

For the most part I was a good kid... depending on who I tell this to, folks are either very scandalized or are cool with it.

I dabbled in kink when I was in my late teens. I was part of the scene in my early 20's. Many of the parties I went to in college included demonstrations.

Would rather not divulge more details than that. I'll just say sex was my anti-drug
