I was quite tame until around the age of 16 where I went off the rails for a couple of years. I did some very stupid things in that time, a lot of it was probably down to low self esteem whilst also wanting to push the boundaries or seem cool to others:
Losing my virginity in a foreign country to some sleazy middle aged bar man whilst completely drunk. Wasn't bothered at the time but now I wish I'd at least saved it for someone I knew better - 17
Separating from my group of friends in a club one night and getting a taxi to a 'guy friends' flat. Didn't check that the taxi was genuine, didn't have enough money to pay the full fair. Was lucky it wasn't someone dodgy - 18
Having a cigarette outside the pub opposite my house before going home after a night out, steaming drunk. Got talking to two random men and invited them to come round for a smoke (weed), ended up passing out on my bed before any smoking commenced. They left at that point to my knowledge, my parents were home too and somehow never found out. It freaks me out every time I think of it, they could have been anyone and could have done anything to me or stolen stuff etc. Just really odd and monumentally stupid behaviour on my part and to this day I don't know what I was thinking. I'm just glad that they were seemingly decent men - 17
Smoking weed in the smoking area at 6th form, missing lessons or turning up to them high. Lots of good memories yes but really not appropriate. Pretty sure some of the smoker teachers were aware of it too but never did anything about it - 16/17
Numerous times of lying about staying at a friends house for the night when really a group of us would be sat in the rugby stands of a nearby rugby club smoking weed and drinking all night - 16/17
I have 2 dd's and I hope to god that they grow up to be far more sensible than me. I know they are bound to make mistakes and do the odd silly thing but hopefully they won't do anything that might put themselves at immediate risk like I did.
