but in particular this bit:
So, have you read your journals from back in the day? (if you kept them?)
What is the worst thing you ever got caught doing in HS?
Did your parents find out about it?
Do you regret it?

DarthNBJenni:
My desk drawer at school is full of notes kids pass back and forth to each other. Some of them I feel I need eye bleach after reading them. The great thing about technology, is that I can scan and email them to parents when they ask why little Suzy has a zero for a daily grade. It's because she was writing a note to Johnny offering to blow him after school, YWIA.
So, have you read your journals from back in the day? (if you kept them?)

Re: Breaking Bad: I want your answers to this poll!
So, have you read your journals from back in the day? (if you kept them?)
The ones I have I sometimes come upon again and read. For the most part though I threw that stuff away. Teenage me annoys adult me.
What is the worst thing you ever got caught doing in HS?
I rarely got caught. I had airtight plans and a very lax school district. I cut school once when DH was cutting and drove up to hang out with him. I think one of my later period teachers took attendance so they discovered I was MIA.
Did your parents find out about it?
Yep, they called my dad.
Do you regret it?
No. My dad yelled at me for a long time. But it was senior year and I told him, "If this is the worst thing that I've ever done in the past 18 years then you might be over reacting." (Go for broke!) He realized my 18 year old wisdom and called the school to tell them I had gone home sick. He never told me mom. It helps that my dad was a really bad kid.
I can honestly say that I never did anything in HS that would be worth posting here and can't even think of one thing that I did that was 'bad' by your standards.
College was a different story, but by then I was 18 and it didn't really affect my parents.
I have re-read my journals once, but it's been a long time. Really, I should just burn them without reading them again. Everything was a matter of life or death then. I can't handle it.
The worst thing I got caught doing? Let's just say that they could never prove anything.
So, have you read your journals from back in the day? (if you kept them?) I did once and I was physically, not just hypothetically, cringing at how dramatic I was. Like PP, teenage me annoys adult me. After I got through few pages I rippd the journal into tiny bits and flushed them all down the toilet. Yep, still dramatic.
What is the worst thing you ever got caught doing in HS? I was a good kid. Once I got caught passing a note back to a girl who had asked me to give her answers to the test. I wrote back to her No, because I didn't want to get in trouble. I got in trouble for passing the note. My chemistry teacher obviously could not see how brilliant my answer was.
Oops...once during a basketball game, I fouled a girl in the 4th quarter and fouled out. I knew I was done, I slapped the floor and yelled FUUUUUCK pretty loudly. I don't know where it came from, I got a technical for it, my mom was in the stands and my coach chewed me out. I was pretty embarrased. I remember begging my mom not to tell my dad.
Did your parents find out about it? Nope for the notes, yes for the technical as my mom witnessed it. She never did tell me dad, which is suprising because she's normally the first to tattle.
Do you regret it? Nothing to regret. I was a pretty good kid in HS. My parents were really strict, I wasn't allowed to date or go to parties, I got good grades and participate in all the activities I could. I still get a little upset over my lack of trust and freedom from my parents, because I was a decent kid.
