Mild or Wild?

[Yerda]

I was all over the wild to mild spectrum.

I think this fits me.

 

[Heyo]

In your youth, were you mild or wild? Did you need encouragement to try new things? Or were you the first person diving down the big slide? Were you obedient or rebelious? Did you do your homework right away, leave it to the last minue, or skip it altogether? Are you still wild? Are you still mild?

Thank you,

I didn't have much respect for authority and I had some unconventional opinions but I never was crazy wild. I tried to always be responsible and could be a buzz-kill. On the other hand, if I didn't see danger, criminality or immorality in any action, I'd do my thing.
I didn't like homework and skipped it whenever I'd still pass. Especially in maths. We had a teacher who kept track of every homework not done but one could erase the mark by solving extra hard problems. Solving problems was much more fun than doing homework.

I could have had loads of fun being a rebel but I didn't rebel so missed out on that, on having a rebellious youth!

Rebelling for the sake of rebellion is silly. Making parents worry, losing priviledges, gaining a bad reputation... none of it is worth it, imo. You didn't miss out.

I agree with @dybmh .

Who knows if you'd have had fun doing it, anyways... perhaps it would have been nothing but stress.

I agree. Of course, I had valid reasons for rebelling. Childhood abuse/neglect, bullying, social mistreatment, most adults had nothing positive/constructive/useful to help me just more of the same, more abuse, more neglect. Most childhood rebels are crying out for help not for vain attention seeking. And almost no one cares instead blaming children (teenagers are still children) for it all. Yeah, I had a thousand valid reasons and now no shame for rebellion. It saved me from suicide almost more than anything else anyone else had back then. I didn't necessarily rebel against my mother. But my culture, schools, institutions, etc. had it coming. I had no respect for them because they had no respect themselves. Most of all, my father needed his *** seriously kicked and I found all the ways I could to make it happen. I did find help in more legitimate therapy and even a new religion that I mostly fit in. My life was saved and I've moved on. I grew. I'm better off now. But I will always remember.

After having received by driver's license, at 16, I would drag anything down Main Street and usually won. Did'nt really grow out of it, was always a 'led foot'.

I was mild up until high school, that’s when my grades went from A-C’s to straight Fs, I was careless and destructive in various ways; to objects, to money, to myself, to my friends and family, etc I eventually became mild again and I think I’m slowly starting to loosen up more in a more respectable kind of wild, or maybe just a fun mild.
