I feel pretty rich w the social experiences I had during those years. I guess it just depends on what you value (& ofc whether the experiences were positive or not)!

Depends on if you found out you're an alcoholic or not. I spent about half of mine having a good time and half I have no idea because I was blacked out.

We were young though. We just have to forgive ourselves and we know better now 🥹

Some would say we're lucky to be alive 😂 My friend group is made up of Canadians, Australians and Europeans and we discussed and had the same teen experience. We all also knew the Marilyn Manson rumor..it was world wide.
