Up until 11 grade, I've never had to study for a test. My parents knew there would be a time when just doing the homework wouldn't suffice, so they encouraged me to keep up my study skills for when I needed them. Of course, I considered myself to much of a genious for such drudgery, so when I entered AP physics, the rug was pulled from under my feet and got a D on the first test. It took me the entire semester to work my grade back up.

Trying to change another person and I admitted I was wrong about that to my next door neighbor and it took guts for me to admit she was right

Good thought filled question. I don't think I've ever thought that I "knew it all". I've always accepted that I can always learn more. I've had people give me good advice and I've listened and used the knowledge they passed to me. I've also learned many things on my own (plenty of midstakes!)

Getting married at 17 (ended in divorce 20+ years later). I had to admit to my mother that she was right.

Nothing in the World is cheap or free, you have to pay the price according to its value.

That life is a classroom, you learn things every day of your life, you fail and you succeed based on your choices. I have learned to trust only those that are "true" friends and not just anyone who declares themselves are "my friend" when they could be a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Respect is earned not given, so if you expect me to respect you, you have to earn it first, etc.... Life is to be enjoyed and lived and loved.

I learned that a person always listens to the wise one and I didn't do that. Hence my current situation.

I thought I could get by in school by "coasting" even though I kept on failing courses. I finally went a semester without failing a single course. It's about time. Anyway, I've learned that "coasting" isn't the answer. Doing the work is. I've started to fall into my old habits again, though, and I need to pull myself out of them. Instead, I'm an idiot, and I'm answering questions on Answerbag instead of attending to my homework. Who was right? My parents and teachers.

I was in an abusive relationship and even though my parents and my friends tried to help me realize it, I thought I could handle things on my own and that they just didn't understand. took me a long time to figure things out!

That living "out on my own" was a whole lot harder than I thought it was gonna be! My Mom always said that, one day, I would look back and say "Dang, I should have waited until I was 30 or so (LoL), to move out and start supporting myself"! She was right! You never realize that every little thing you have, has to be paid for, or has a cost, until YOU are the one paying for it!
