For those of you who had tame childhoods, do you regret not being wild when younger?

I've know those types, had tame childhoods, and once mid-life crisis hits, Yikes! Making up for lost time? A recent read of Henry Ford II proved that! The 40's hit, married a woman much, much younger, and those were some pretty wild days for him!

My 40's were the more exciting years of my life, being a teenager all over again! No thanks! I'm not interested in a relationship, I want to play the field!

And there are those, once they retire, they can be transformed into rebellious teenagers! I'm 64, and that rebellious streak has returned with a fury! Keep it coming! Keep it coming!

So if you missed being wild in your younger years, you have 2 more chances to live it out! Have fun!

I was deathly afraid of teacher before grade 6.

I should've been more defensive and argumentative when it came to mean teachers. But I wasn't. So I regret that part only.

I regret nothing because I am happy at where I am at today. And to regret the past therefore would be to suggest I want to change the person I am today. Because a change to my past - would be a change to who I am today in effect.

Nope. I got a lot of stuff done early (learned some things, developed skills) that I'm glad I got "out of the way" when I was young and full of energy. I don't feel I would have been better off delaying that and the trade off of having some wild stories to tell doesn't really seem worth it.

No. Because when I did do wild things that means I hurt someone else.
