I wasted my teenage years

Hey so this is the first time I've come on here but I really feel like I've wasted my teenage years. I never did anything memorable, never snuck out the house, never draank or tried drugs....never had sex which is weird because there was rumours that I did when in reality I didnt. I only went missing once at 16 or 17 but that was to do with a psychosis... i just sat at home and listened to music in a dark room and I just wish I could go back but I can't and it's killing me. Will having fun in my 20s make up for it?
I never did any of those either. That may be the stereotypical expectation of a teenager but you really don't have to conform to it! Also, you still have plenty of time, don't worry.

fun in hs only lasts for a night or two and u make memories, but ur grades and qualifications stay forever. I'm assuming u got into a a rlly great uni/whatever ur doing because of ur hard work so u totally deserve going out and having fun now. personally I did most of those things but even though it was fun it rlly doesn't matter too much anymore.
Don't focus on what you didn't do, focus on what you're going to do now. Teenage years are a tough adjustment for many and some relish in daring to do anything they want to, and some take it easy and some live it tough. If you want to grab your twenties by the honches then go and do that and don't look back.

Don't dwell on the past.

Here are some suggestions to accomplish asap to have memories

1.

Travel to Amsterdam and do the great things there.

2.

Visit a city away from your home for the weekend

3.

If you have funds, travel to Miami or Vegas
