Is their someone out there who can say they didn't do stupid things as a teen?

Question

not as a kid..

I hear alot about people who say they didn't take risks, and people say they took to many; smoking a drinking vs. not asking that girl and not speaking your mind.

Is their someone out their, a normal person? Not one of those people who graduated highschool in 2 years, or skipped grades, but people who tryed hard at everything, not always succeeding but always kept their head up, or even had a few dark times?

Answer 1

I never did any type of drugs, never smoked cigs, and am able to count the # of times I've been drunk on one hand. I got in tons & tons of trouble in school in 8th & 9th grade, then straightened out again, but always got good grades.

whats the point of the question? do you doubt there are any teens who do not do bad things?

Answer 2

I consider myself normal and honestly, I kept on the straight and narrow as a teen.  I didn't smoke, do drugs, have s*x or drink.  I wasn't a huge risk taker and I had my share of boyfriends.  My teen years were a bit tumultuous at times due to many things but I kept my grades up, had fun, hung out with my friends and stayed away from trouble.  I always tried hard at everything I did as a teen.  Sometimes I made a poor choice but overall, things worked out very well and I succeeded where some of my friends did not.

Answer 3

I am a teen girl. As a teen people my age look up to me, ask me for advise/help, say I need to loosen up more, and know me as the shy quite girl. But really when I get the mood to have fun (about once a month), I go crazy that whole day. And all I heard is "what's wrong with you today?", "have you smoked something?", and things like that. I do make mistakes, but I don't drink, smoke, do drugs and just don't do things like that.

Answer 4

i do consider myself to be normal.  when i was in h.s. i tried hard in school, was active in student council and sports.  but, on the weekends, i partied with my friends and older kids.  i smoked, started drinking at 15, and had s*x.  but, i always did what i was supposed to do in school and maintained good grades.  because of those "stupid" things, i didn't have the need to try new things when i went to college (on a full academic scholarship).  when all of my friends, who were "good" in hs wanted to party and start drinking, i was able to hit the books because i had "been there and done that."  a few "stupid" things as a teen don't ruin your life and are just life experiences. as long as the line is drawn somewhere and you don't go to any extremes or do something that can effect you for the rest of your life, there is nothing wrong with trying some things out.  besides, i think it's probably better to do it when you're young and can recover from it rather than when your old and your decisions have long lasting effects.

ps...had a baby in college, still made dean's list every semester, graduated with honors, now work for the federal gov. in law enforcement.

Answer 5

is there any normal person out there anymore i do not think so since there is soooo many of us now. i did nothing stupid in high school i waited til college for my stupid faze of life... i never got caught thank God...  and i got over it quick enough or grew up and realized how stupid i was being and i did it all on my own... good for me;;;;; take care....

Answer 6

Doin stupid things is jus part of bein a teen. Im 15 and hardly have any ffriends that dont smoke or drink. I dont do it and it kinda makes u feel like an outcast but it feels good 2 b different in a good way and have my friends tell me thats wat they like about me. But i wont lie, its hard not 2

Answer 7

Yes, as teenagers and adults, we all do stupid stuff. But my opinion is that as long as you learned from your mistakes, it is okay and healthy to make them. I don't know anyone who has never made a mistake especially as a teenager. If they say they didn't, they are lying.

Answer 8

NO!

Answer 9

I'm a teenager..

I did far worse stuff when i was a kid.. The only thing i focus on is my education and making my life the best possible.

Yes i have drank alcohol, but i quit. I stopped drinking and never started smoking..

There is nothing for me in that sort of stuff.. Nothing. I only associate myself with people who make me feel good and comfortable.. Peer pressure doesn't get me. So yeah i'm a normal teenager, who keeps her head up high even through the most darkest days of life. I had to work hard to get what i want.. If i ever achieved something, it's because i climbed over that wall and worked so hard to get what i want.

Answer 10

If anyone did say they never did anything stupid as a teen they are liars.

Answer 11

They didn't do stupid things as a teen...

Hope this helps!!!
