Silly as it sounds, I was young and well…dumb. I was 15 years old and I just started having crushes on boys and whatnot. In my freshman year of high school, I had class with what I thought was a handsome boy back then (let’s call him John). Since the very first time I laid eyes on him I was mesmerized. I realized my development of interest in boys when I hoped every day …show more content…
See, John is a bit older than me. At the time, I was 15, a freshman, and he was 17, a junior in high school. He was more experienced than me, meaning, you could tell he probably had sneak out of his house thousands of time to meet up with girls and drive them around the city of Miami to show off his car and the fact that he had a driver’s license.

My parents literally unhinged my door down and I was sleeping in my room with no door, pitch-black every night for a very long time. I never felt so ashamed of myself… I disappointed myself but most importantly, my parents. Never again did I make such a stupid mistake. Now I look back and laugh at myself at how dumb and innocent I was. I learned a lot from the experience. It wasn’t all bad. Being in these type of situations make you realize how life is. You do it, you learn, and you grow. I am more than sure I was not the first nor will I be the last. Always think before you take action in anything. Do not let your feelings or others carry you away and make you slip into a predicament. No matter what, we all are humans and the beauty of mistakes is learning from
