"Youth is wasted on the young." Options

[missnh]

I read this quote somewhere, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

What are some thing that you wish you experience when you were younger? Or some things that you think all young people should experience?

As a child, I think I experience the most an Asian-American family could provide. Swinging with my best friend while kicking love bugs, having baby crushes, cooking green eggs and ham... :)

But, still, I'm scared that my youth will be wasted. I want to try all sorts of things, such as learning how to play the harp (haha) or going naked, and not being wrinkly and ugly, to the Renaissance Festival. I think I've experienced love, abuse, depression, and all sorts of other teenager-ly feelings (sometimes unfortunately). I've also had pets die and things lost.

I don't know... this is just a random ramble. What do you think youth should have in it?

i think i had to lose that "sit around a camp fire, play tag and giggle" type of outlook on my "youth" because of my mom when i was like 7
