I wish I did more of correcting papers in school. In Grade 6, I only corrected Grade 6 spelling papers, just because my teacher is very busy and has no choice but to pick a random helpful student in the room.
Now I will get another chance to correct papers in the area schools, varying from elementary, middle, and high schools.

I "played" with Chemistry sets and read a lot of books (especially books about Chemistry, Physics and Biology) when I was younger but overall I was a normal kid. XD
E: (For some reason I forgot to write the post XD). I wish I could play a bit more since I was studying a bit much when I was younger but at least, the result was very good.

I wish I swam more.
It might just be this huge dose of summer nostalgia that I'm getting, but I really did enjoy all the times hanging out with my friends at the pool or river. Though it's possible we could get together there again, I'm just not as flexible or bold as I was back then to perform some of the crazy stunts I used to do.

I can actually decently play piano (L-R handed at the same time). When I was 10 or something I wanted to go on piano lessons, it didn't happen. Recently when I got music class on school, I discovered that I have a decent feel for playing piano. I'm now on piano lessons, but I'd wish to have started with it earlier, so I would be a lot better than what I am now.

I'm only 16 now, but I wish I was more social. I go out with my best friend more often now than I used to, but I still sometimes find social situations in general a bit awkward.

First of all, I wish I had never gone away from the soccer league I was in when I was six years old - I played at Baronie Breda (I'm sure nobody knows of that club) but I didn't enjoy it at first, it seems. So I stopped playing soccer. Little idea did I have that I was going to like soccer that much four years after, and afterwards. Quite a shame, really.
Also, I wish I had learned to play some kind of instrument. Many people I know can play an instrument, but I'm pretty much singled out there. I have a guitar in my room but I don't really use it, ever, save for the few artistic moments I have. Sad thing is also that the guitar isn't exactly in optimal condition anymore.
When I was eight I took a few keyboard lessons but it bored me pretty quickly. When I was fourteen (grade 9) I moved to another home and thus went to another school, where all of a sudden I was supposed to be able to play an instrument for the Music class. I couldn't play any instrument, so they gave me a recorder flute. Needless to be said, I was unable to get along with this instrument.
I know that back when I was a kid (talking about age 8, 9 here), I had a little passion for singing though. It's a shame I didn't go on with that.
Other than that I don't regret much of my (important) choices. So far I'm enjoying life, so I can't complain about the course my life has run thusfar.

I wish that I would what have done today's,but as a younger. It's seems unfortune that more fun comes when you grow up perhaps....i used to play instrument, but gave up and was bored. As for piano, I play 4 months worth in a day few say, but is tiring after a while. Is a side thing.
I draw few things, but I happy I draw since I was 2 years old, which only remember. Before that, nothing else come to mind...
Still, it'd be breathtaking to go back child years, but not the kid years, as was AWFUL.

Pretty much what Jeorge535 said. I always have, plus had, a tough time talking in general it seems in public. Mostly to people I just met though. Still at times I even have trouble with family members or friends.

I wish I learned how to use tools, because I am now in middle school and feel like I'm not a man because I wasted all my time watching crap on television.

Sort of wish I actually cared enough to learn an instrument, another language, or how to draw well when I was younger. Sure I can try to teach myself any of this now, but it probably would have been more productive to have done this rather than wasting my free time playing video games for the first 22 years of my life.
I did take piano lessons when I was younger, but I didn't really stick with it. I still remember how to play Ode to Joy with one hand though.
I also wish I really pursued programming more. I tried teaching myself a few different languages when I was younger, but ultimately I never really stuck with any of them for very long and ended up forgetting most of the stuff I learned years later.

I wish I did less being mentaly handicapped recluse who did absolutely nothing for the first 12 years of their life, and more things that everyone else did. That's a little vauge though.
More specificaly I'd like to be able to draw well/play an instrument. I could do both with practice, but it's easier to learn when you're younger.

I wish I would've been more active. All this junk and chips and shit dragged me down and now I'm trying to lose it all over again.

I'm only thirteen, but I wish I was more into music when I was younger. I've played Piano since I was five (my mom teaches me), Drums since I was 10ish and Bass for the last couple months or so. When I was younger, I didn't have a creative outlet to spread these instruments to, so all my talent was wasted. I was raised on lots of Christian music and 80's pop/soft rock. I now listen prog/grunge and take drum lessons from a hair metal drummer, which helps me when playing heavier songs.

I wished I could also have a social life, well, like what Jeorge535 and SolidSnake said.

Ditto. Having recently broken up with a long time friend I had realized how much he had been monopolizing my attention, and keeping me from communicating with others that were actually a lot more lively and likable.

I used to play a lot of rugby in my youth and I was pretty damn good at it too I suppose my one regret was that I broke my leg pretty badly and the doctors said I'd never be able to play again.
And I suppose I should have studied more as well.

The only real hobbies I had when I was younger was playing video games and skateboarding, great times yet I kinda wish I started playing guitar or were into music at a younger age (started when I was 17). But either way, I rarely look back, I just see what the future holds and am grateful for what I know.

Even though I'm only twelve, (seems a little young for a thread like this, but keep reading) I wish I could've started basketball at a younger age. I could probably be much better than I am today if I did.

I really wish I had done more running and reading. Mainly learning about computers and building stamina for running.

I wish I would have read more books. I recently started to read again, the Harry Potter series convincing me to do so (yes, I read it for the first time in 9th grade), but since then I haven't read much. Now I'm taking an English class with a lot of hard books, and I have no idea what's going on because I'm not used to reading so much. I have to decipher a lot.
