Yes and no. I have more of a distance perspective because I'm very very old... but I think that every decision I've made has brought me to where I am now, and as much as I'd love to take some of them back, I wouldn't undo things that came about as a result of my decisions.
I've made some SERIOUSLY bad relationship decisions in the past- but would I wish not to have my kids? I can't say I would. Of course part of me wishes Evol and I had met 10, 15 years ago, but the years have changed both of us, and I don't know for sure that we'd have ended up here- so I have to trust that what has happened has just been for the purpose of getting to this point. And because of how horrific my life has been in the past, it's a lot easier for me to appreciate what it is now.
People make mistakes, Joker. I think it's just really important to learn from them and not keep doing the same things over and over.

Yah i've made some huge mistakes in the past couple of years and i'm only 17. Turned 18 soon. It's very harmful to my health and i know i won't live to 60. Knowing that just makes me want to try harder now and actually enjoy my life.

AS much fun as it was in high school, I regret getting stoned all the time in my 9th-early 11th grades.
I went from almost straight A's and a 3.8 GPA to failing 15 out of 18 classes my 10th grade year, mostly because I wasn't going to them. I started hard back into trying to graduate on time and was only able to raise my GPA from the 0.8 that it fell to, to a 2.1 when I graduated on time.
If I had stayed on the up and up, I would have graduated 3/4 of the way through my Junior year.
That does suck Joker, but like Melissa said, it's what we do after we fall that truly shows our character. I was lucky enough to have a teacher and principal who realized where I was headed and gave me a wake up call. Some of my friends went on to some serious drugs and have seriously fucked up good things in their lives.

I dont regret it now... but I probably will later in life. Im too young to regret things considering my life is really just beginning.

I regret the days of high school when i always skipped and didnt care about my grades just so long as i passed ... now im paying for my college classes out of the pocket :/
I regret not trying to apply myself in things ... i want to make myself a better person , but through my outlook of life , sometimes i feel as if its a waste , we all end up dying anyway ...
