Not lately.\n\nI did ruin a college & scholorship chances for the girl that was "my bully" for three years of highschool. It was hell!  So is payback!\n\nStupid girl! Smart one, just dumb to pick on me!  I worked and volunteered in all the school offices and major organizations that gave scholarships. I changed her final grades and she did not get approved at all her colleges of choice and lost her scholorships. \n\nI did however make sure that every Army, Navy and Air force recuiter, had all her personal information and the fact she was 18 prior to graduation.  Oh, did  I mention, I said SHE was a boy!\n\nHer diploma from High School was misspelled and no one caught it until the Superindentant {who never knows any of the students names] "read" her name out loud on the day we walked.  Jennifer Imaslutnoski.   I almost wet myself laughing. It was worth it!  OH WELL>\n\nSince then, I have never done an horrible thing like that. Really :)

No, but I gave birth on Christmas! My son will be 10 this Dec. 25. We always have a party the following weekend, so he gets his fair share! Then I have one with a bday on Jan. 4th, and my husband is on the 5th. It's crazy around here.

I remember bit and parts too. One thing that does stand out is this: We were living in a small town. I have 3 older sisters and 2 older brothers, basically I am the youngest of 6. Anyway. My oldest brother had to go down to Dairy Queen (probably about 1971) and was going to get us all ice cream cones. Well, as far as I was concerned he was taking too long, so I slipped away and went looking for him. I got all the way down to Dairy queen (5 block away) and he wasn't there-took a different way home-So I asked the guy behind the counter if my brother had been there and he said yes and that I just missed him. He must have noticed I was sad because he gave me a free vanilla ice cream cone. In the mean time everyone was looking for me. So I walked back home and when I got into my front yard everyone came running out happy that I was back and I dropped my ice cream cone on the lawn. I cried. My mom wiped my tears and she said that is ok honey, we have one in the freezer waiting for you. Happy ending.\n\nThis incident has always reminded me of a song called the "Ice cream cone song". Ask your parents or grandparents about it.

LOL!!! My bad experience was my first experience and I was traumatized after it and almost made it my last LOL!!\n\nA friend of mine set this date up. (she's lucky I still called her a friend after that) I was a lil greeny, just turned 18 just graduated. I did not really date in high school. I liked the guys, they liked me but I just did things in groups and  had a blast. ANYWAY...the guy called me, his name was MIKE..he sounded so cute. I asked my friend what he looked like. SHe said OH He's tall, he has a tan complexion, dark hair and glasses, brown eyes, he is really cute. OKay, I was picturing this muscle man with dark hair, good looking, wire frame glasses, tall, and someone that I would just melt for if I saw him. \n\nI was so nervous. \nWell....the next day was the big day. I was all ready to go and nervous...OH SHOOT!!! LOL! the guy comes walking up...about my height 5'3"...mousy brown hair and thick glasses, the goober was wearing a white shirt and tie, he was all dressed up, for gosh sakes we were just to a movie. I thank my luck stars it was a double date, because I wouldn't have survived the night and I would've had to kill him if he touched me. I opened the door, my father is standing their, I am tucking my fathers sleeves signalling to him that I did not want to go. LOL! My mother was whispering just go, geez. NOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL!! THe guy hands me these half dead roses wrapped in green paper that he cut off of a rose bush and he said "I brought you some roses, I thought that it was something I was supposed to do" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!\nI felt totally weird with this guy. \nOkay...so we went to my friends house and picked them up, meanwhile I was leaning against the door , it was locked, but I was clutching onto the handle. \n\nOkay...we WERE supposed to go to a movie, we didn't...the goober had to show us where he worked, he thought that I would be impressed with the fact that he created and built things out of plastic, we spent 20 minutes watching a stupid machine make caps for wesson oil bottles. Then it was getting late, so we went to Red Lobster, instead of watching a movie (because Mike claimed that it was too late) we ended up going to his house and staying their until 2am watching this retarded video on old time inventions. \n\nHe commented on his messy house and he said well if I had a woman to cook for me and clean my house while I worked my house wouldn't look this way. I then said that I was tired and wanted to go home. I was so glad to get home. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!! LOL! I relive those feelings whenver I tell the story, but I bust a gut. LOL!! That was 16 years ago. That was one of the traumantic moments in my life. LOL!!

A Sweet Sixteen is a traditional birthday party for girls to have when they turn sixteen. In parts of the United States and Canada, sixteen is the age at which one may obtain a driver's license. It is also the age of consent in many states, hence it is viewed by many adolescents as an important milestone. It can also be derived to mean turning 16 without being kissed.

not at all, i didn't have my first bf until i was 16, and i thought i was completely weird because of that.  but, in reality, it made me closer to my friends, and i had a great time.  you can have fun with or without a bf, and you definitely don't need one to make you happy.  so just go out and have fun with your friends, don't worry about guys yet.

I went to my 10 and 20 year class reunions. \nIn the ten year reunion I saw how many were still the same and immature people I had known in High School.\n\nIn the 20 year they all still smoked and quite a few were still getting drunk. \n\nI quit going because I felt that I did not know these people anymore. My advice: the past is the past. Let it go!

I have attended the last two.\nBut then I'm 44.  I'll bet your question was aimed at younger users and I too am interested to see the results.

Have cake. Play music loud. Dance. Do your friend's hair. Dress up cute. Talk on the phone.  Do all the things a 16 year old should do at 16.

I was watching my super sweet 16 the other day and I figure a 17 year old would enjoy a Mercedes SL550 just as much as a 16 year old

Oooh, I hope no one says they drank 21 shots! That would be quite lethal. \n\nFor my 21st birthday, I was in college, away from my family. So some friends of mine from my sorority took me out to a surprise dinner at an Italian restaurant -- we had a full table of 15! At midnight, we went to a pub -- my boyfriend (now husband!) joined us, and everyone bought me some yummy drinks. I had the chance to order my first legitimate drink. We laughed and talked all night. Nothing out of the ordinary, but really fun!

Mine was in Jr.High, I think I was thirteen. Anyways, I was in the bathroom, skipping Math class and my best friend walked in and I just started staring at her and then she slammed me up against the wall and kissed me. I've gotta say that was the best thing that's ever happened to me, cuz if it hadn't I wouldn't be engaged to the woman of my dreams,
