Our teenage years are unavoidable. As much as we regret some of the things we did, we wouldn’t be where we are now, or who we are now, without them.
From crushes to losing your virginity, to underage drinking . . . these are the confessions of girls from their teen years. Oh, the stupid, stupid, stupid things we did. So many regrets. But if we had the chance, we probably wouldn’t change a thing.
1. I spent an entire weekend perfecting the Christmas theme for my MySpace page.
2. I had a poster of Leonardo DiCaprio in my bedroom. Every morning before leaving for school, and every night before going to bed, I put red lipstick on and kissed it. So it had lipstick marks all over it. I really thought we would be together one day.
3. As a test, I made out with my best friend’s then boyfriend, to prove that he was a jerk. I told her she had to dump him the next day. To this day, she doesn’t know what I did.
4. My parents never drank their liquor that often, so I would pour vodka into water bottles when they weren’t home. I filled the vodka with water to make it look like nothing was gone. One year on Christmas, a family friend commented that the vodka wasn’t very strong.
5. I tried so hard to be popular and well-liked, but I regret it now, because I feel like those were my best years. All people see me as now, is the girl who was popular in high school.
6. I lost my virginity when I was 17 in the parking lot of a Wendy’s. An employee saw us when he was taking out the trash, and served us Frosty’s inside after we finished. Thank GOD he didn’t say anything.
7. I lost my virginity to my best friends older brother . . . thankfully, we are still best friends.
8. I hotboxed in my mom’s mini van.
9. I always told my friends I was a virgin, but I wasn’t. I had sex with my high school boyfriend all the time.
10. I didn’t have my first kiss until I was 18, my first night out in college. I made out with some guy I don’t remember, and to this day my friends remind me how ugly he was.
11. My longtime crush’s favorite band was Dave Mathews Band. I didn’t really like them, but I pretended to so he would like me back. I even paid for us to see them in concert a few times. He was supposed to pay me back, but to this day, still owes me almost $300 for tickets, gas, and food.
12. Once I found out that a cute guy I like lived near me, I changed my route to school every day, hoping he’d notice me. He didn’t, and it made the drive to school ten minutes longer.
13. My best friend and I drank hand sanitizer when we found out it has alcohol in it. She had more than I did, and had to go to the hospital after passing out in class.
14. When I was 15, I made out with a substitute teacher in a closet. He was in college. I think he was 24.
15. I got pregnant the first time I ever had sex. I was sixteen, and had an abortion. To this day, no one knows but me. Not even my parents, or any of my friends.
16. When I was in middle school that’s when locker rooms and stuff began . . . everyone was wearing thongs, and my mom was still shopping for me at the GAP. I was too embarrassed to ask for a thong. So I took my GAP underwear and a scissors and tried making my own thong by cutting my underwear. It didn’t work, at all and I was so embarrassed for trying in the middle of the night I snuck out of the house to throw away the underwear in the garbage outside on garbage night.
17. I broke up with my cheating and stupid jerk of a high school boyfriend on his Facebook wall, where everyone could see it. Including his mom.
18. I printed out my crush’s Facebook profile picture and kept it in my wallet. I was a freak.
19. My parents went away for a weekend one summer, and I threw a massive party, thinking, what could possibly go wrong? Everything went wrong. the neighbors called the cops, one girl got alcohol poisoning, and my parents’ furniture and artwork was destroyed. I spent the next two years working at a restaurant on the weekends to pay them back for the damages.
20. One time, I followed my crush after school. He drove to McDonald’s and went home. In that moment, I realized I would make an excellent spy. Really sad that the CIA hasn’t recruited me yet
