Don't be the "good kid"
| It's just so frustrating to think how many fun things I missed, and those times when I had the opportunity to do something I rejected them because I was afraid of the stupid consequences or I thought I would have felt guilt.
| If you're still in school and you read this, take the opportunities and be mischievous, do something stupid, i don't know
| Same here, pal. I'm 23 now and most of my life is wasted. All that I've gained from being oh so nice and responsible is mental health problems, and now I simply don't have the time and opportunities to do stuff that I could've have done during my school days but've chosen not to because of this shit
| Idk it's the opposite for me. There are a lot of opportunities in the future to be reckless or mischievious but i think focusing on your education was actually great. Now that i look back on it, my only wish is that i wished i took school more seriously. Life is short and excruciatingly long at the same time. You have a whole life ahead of you to do what you want so regret it too much gurl.
| Idk. Maybe. I'm still in school, and it's fucking cancer. I have a lot of mental issues and diagnosed autism and shit, so school makes me genuinely want to die. I do some dumb shit from time to time, but what I'm left with is just a really bad nicotine addiction and potentially cancer. I want to do more shit this year, but COVID and how easily some of my mental shit gets triggered is holding me back.
| you can have some fun while good m8, it sounds like you are trying to obfuscate your cowardice by pretense of being the "good kid"
| have fun AND be a good kid. i've been doing it for a while and i'm pretty happy at school. as long as you can keep both balanced life's good
| When doing something mischievous or stupid, don't do something too stupid. Drugs are too stupid, shoplifting is too stupid, etc.
Sneaking out in the middle of the night to your friends house without parental approval is not too stupid. Skipping school for a day or two is not too stupid. Sex with condoms is not too stupid.
That stuff IS stupid, but it's not *too* stupid.
| Also, your chances for stupid fun don't all vanish after high school, you've got the whole rest of your life. High school just makes it a lot more visible when someone else is having fun doing stupid things.
Stop wasting your time worrying about wasting time and go build a trebuchet

| Tbh, I don't really know how to be mischievous or mean in front of other people
Like often enough, I have mean thoughts and think about how people annoy me, but I can't really be mean to them, even if I want to

How come that every single time you make a post in any thread you're responding to an argument that was never posted?
Do you make up your own stuff in your head or what?
| While I agree with your sentiment, we should not forget that there is an alternative universe where you start the thread "don't be too mischievous in school"
| I was the good kid, never had much trouble, my grades were high and I convinced a guy to bring a grill and scretly make barbcue for the class and the mad lad did it the school never found out
Just got out of high and looking back i say I dont regret being the good kid i wasnt popular and I suffered trough a lot but its more because people are just assholes and you should just do what makes you happy and I felt better being nice even if they hated for no reason
| I stand behind this point. Been through a big personality re-evaluation in my life, a major part of it was because I tried so hard to be good that I lost myself.
Leaning towards the bad end rn, but hopefully I can find the middle ground someday
| You haven't been a "bad kid", so you just don't understand awful consequences of it. Your life is ok, so don't preach about it.

The middle ground is nice, but also not. I'm not fully a bad kid, but I'm not fully a good kid either. It's like I'm stuck and can't choose, even though I don't want to and don't have to choose.

I see where you're coming from, but from a slightly different angle.
I feel like I constantly move from one radicallity to another
| Common, just learn what you should and go to work.

| I finished my last year of school and my parents gave me the opportunity to take a year off, mostly due to the pandemic; this gave a lot of time to think and I got to a conclusion, I wasted my whole life trying to be the "good kid" and responsible just for me to think just how boring my life was, and now that I feel like I should have been more mischievous I have to be more responsible?
