I remember things I have done to my parents when I was young and tried to "feel" for today's teens. I did a lot of things that I am sorry for, but won't take them back as I learned from those mistakes. My parents raised us to make mistakes, but only make them once. We suffered the consequences we brought upon ourselves all in the name of love and learning.  
Mistake (1) I snuck out in the middle of the night to meet a guy I thought cared about me - lesson learned, although I had fun, I was heartbroken when he dumped me for my best friend.  
Mistake (2) I fought with my brother frequently - lesson learned, I lost him in a bike accident that left me with nothing but regret that I never told him I loved him.  
Mistake (3) watched family and friends drink themselves into sickness and never tried to help them - lesson learned, be a nag, but nag with kindness and not criticism.  
Mistake (4)rage against fact that I never have children-lesson learned, be a mommy to those that need one.  
Mistake (5)Allow abuse to happen and not call for help -lesson learned, forgive mistakes and become a survivor and not a victim.  
Mistake (6)
