Let's suppose you could start your entire life over with memory from your current life. Given that you can change your actions but not the conditions you were born in (can't change physical appearance, place of birth, family, genetics, etc.), would you start all over? If not, why? If so, what would you do differently?

If I had the oppurtunity, I'd probably take it in a heart beat. Besides rhe usual stuff like not getting into trouble for specific things and spending more time with loved ones who died, I'd probably focus more on being a more likeable and socialable person. I'd also try to take more foreign language classes earlier and avoid band altoghether (I don't care what they say about improving my cognitive functions or whatever, band class was where I met 70% of the people who hate me). There's more, but I don't feel like mentioning it now.

Uh, well, let's see here...... yes, I would.

I myself have been though a personal situtation that is now in the past, and I would change that around so that it never happened in an instant, and lead to something else.

I'd also work towards  going out and being more open with and willing to speak to people more often; my timidness has cost me many a friend's contact info( by not asking for it) in elementary and middle school, and consequently, many good friends that I'll have to find later on.

I've gotten it under control, if you will, somewhat in high school, but it still plagues me like an on/off headache every once in a while.

But, that's it for now, I'll edit in anything else I might think of later.

I don't think I would ... of course I have regrets that I'd love to correct, but it would get so boring doing everything over perfectly for years. But if I did, I'd learn a bunch of languages. I hear kids are good at that. 

There are two things I'd do.

Stop hanging out with my old friend.
This kid raped me when I was five.

And ask girls to dance sooner.

wait... WHAT?!

If you're saying that to mine, yes, I was raped at the age of five. My old friend that I used to hang out with was the culprit. It was never reported, and the actual events stay in my memory. He was gay, and I know that for a fact.

I would. I'd try to be more physically active and like most people on the internet, try to be a more likable person. Other than that, I would impress the kids kindergarten with my seemingly infinite knowledge.

This.

This a thousand times.

Well when I was young, I had anger issues from tk-7th and that alienated me from everyone, becuase sure I was a great person but they would never know what might cause me to snap. I mean I have and always be awesome (except at spelling and grammar), but I mean when I was 10 I beat up a 15 year old black kid.

On recolection, I think I should try out for my high school's wressling team, although that might be gay.

Na, I wouldn't change anything. I like my life right now and some of it seems unavoidable...like working every day of the summer with my dad :(.

And hey, I got stories to tell my kids like how my house got raided by the police when they thought my dad was a drug lord. Oh what a day!

When I look back on my life (of 15 years) there is quite a bit I'd like to change, but also a whole bunch of things I'd like to live through again, like my second year of highschool, lol. So yeah, I'd probably take it.

My life's been pretty great actually, the only thing I'd change was to tell my seventh grade self to cut my hair! Lord, I probably looked like a goon.

But what's a goon to a goblin?

Lmao, you probably don't know what I'm talking about ;)
