I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.

    I don’t like how much society pushes kids to have their future chosen before they have any real idea of how the real world works. I did pick a good program to study straight out of high school and have a decent career from it now, but even then I dropped out for a while because I just didn’t have the drive yet.

    I wonder how things would have turned out if I had pushed through instead of dropping out. Maybe I’d be farther along in my career, maybe I would have ended up at the same company and gotten laid off when they struggled during my “off time”, or maybe I would have burned out and ruined my career because I wasn’t ready for it yet.
