Omg :shocked: I thought it was 2006, I think it was because that's the date it was uploaded on the YT video I watched. Nearly 10 years! Just doesn't seem real!

5 years ago I was in 6th form, probably my best times. After that it all went horribly wrong

Yes it must have been Xmas 2003 as I was pregnant at the time and used to get all emotional when I heard it

Yep 2003 it was, madness.

A great song tbf

5 Years ago was a pretty boring year
4 years ago, was the year my eating disorder surfaced and got quite bad, resulting in my being 4 stone, and having to go to hospital and all that terrible stuff :L
3 years ago, i was recovering, and actually doing quite well
2 years ago i got my first ever boyfriend, and everything was fine, we went out for like 9/10 months..
1 year ago, pretty much i discovered he cheated on me :l, and we broke up, i also began my gcse exams, and a few months ago, i got excellent results

And now i'm Doing my AS year in college, very happy at the moment :D, predicted 4A'S and i'm just working hard and enjoying life :p

This thread made me think and realise how much I've changed as a person over the last 5 years. I don't really fancy stating stuff because I've done things I'm not proud of (no, not handjobs in public bathrooms) but wow... realisation.

It's always interesting to see everyone elses business though :evilgrin:

I guess I was in year 10 this time 5 years ago, year 10 and 11 were pretty good but I was a bit of a dick at times and got in a fair bit of trouble, sixth form were probably my favourite two years, widened my social circle a lot, got on with pretty much everyone and life was just generally really good. Didn't really appreciate that all till I went to Uni though, my first year and a bit here has been pretty good and I'm actually studying stuff I'm really interested in but it's not been the best years of my life like a lot of people say it is for them and while I've got some pretty good friends here I'm still much better friends with people from back home. This weekend I visited one of my old mates from home in Cardiff where he's at Uni, it was his birthday so pretty much everyone went down and it was a class weekend going out and drinking again with all my old mates, has made me really look forward to going back home for Christmas again now. Not sure I've changed all that much as a person, bit more mature now I suppose but I don't think I'm that different to how I was two or three years ago

Wad it blowjobs? :bored:

no it wadn't.

i cant even remember yesterday never mind 5 years.
r years ago i think i was having a threesome with a hobit and a orc somewhere in mount doom trying to get to the ring lol

This thread's great, it's interesting to read all your stories :) good idea Ben!

yep that why hes the mod

Hmmmm.

So I started sixth form five years ago, and at that point I'd just put on loads of weight - I was heavier and bigger than I am now - which wasn't great. But at the same time there were loads of house parties, and we started clubbing for the first time, so that was pretty cool :D

The next year, I kind-of flunked my subjects because I really wasn't enjoying them, and ended up with one A Level (an A in English Literature) and a couple of AS levels. At this point I started to realise that I was definitely more than a little bit attracted to guys :laugh: but for some reason I stayed in the closet... and I also had kind-of fallen in love with one of my male best friends but yeah...

Start of 2009 I decided to come out and tell my friends, and also the guy that I was in love with him. That was... in retrospect it went really well. He obviously didn't have mutual feelings, but he was really okay with it and although things were a little awkward for a month or two we carried on being good friends. But uh... I dunno, I was a bit messed up back then. My family aren't the most tolerant or liberal of families, so I found it difficult coming out to them. My mum always sort-of knew, and she seems okay with it most times, but occasionally when we argue over something petty she'll bring up something awful like "I'll never give her grandchildren" or something :crazy: I told her I was bi so it was still a possibility :laugh: but yeah...
Then in May my oldest brother died. The last time I saw him, I was going through this phase of taking night walks, and I bumped into him at about 2am on Torquay's main high street... he was doing the same. It was weird, and after he went into hospital I found it difficult to go see him. He was diagnosed with some form of leukaemia... he was addicted to heroin for the best part of twenty years, and despite attempts at getting clean I think he was just surrounded by bad people. So yeah... at the end of May my mum told me the doctors were talking about turning off life support, so I went to see him, obviously, but... I just found it horrible, I'm useless in those situations, I don't know what to say, and my mum seemed disappointed with me because I just really wanted to leave. In retrospect I can see her point but I'm just not good at dealing with grief at the time.

So obviously that was a huge blow to family life... my mum's been diagnosed with depression ever since, since he was her first born, and yeah... in a way though it's made us all a lot closer.

A couple of months later - September to be precise - my dad went into hospital randomly (I didn't even know he was ill), and my mum woke me up the next morning in tears saying he died. I still haven't really processed that to this day. It was so unexpected and our relationship was so awkward - they were separated, he was an alcoholic, we always got on but were never like... the type of father/son to go fishing or whatever :p But yeah, that one just floored me. Later in the month I got drunk with the best-friend-guy and fooled around with him and I don't know... at the time I was not in a good place, and I kept mistaking all of these small gestures from him, and silly things like sharing a bed, as something more. At one point I just messed things up and we had this massive fall-out, and I didn't speak to him for about a year.

So 2009 wasn't good at all. But one thing that did come out of it was that I went back to college to try and make up for better grades, and I met a handful of really cool and interesting people there.

2010 was somewhat improved. I started writing more, I was getting good grades at college, and towards the end of the year I kind of patched things up with the friend, because we have all these mutual friends from way back to 2004, and the same friend circle, so I felt guilty because I'd made it hard on them. I'd also completely betrayed his trust so, I felt guilty there... and after a couple of really awkward and angry communications, I invited him to this Christmas get-together I'd arranged and we just sort of naturally made up again... it's been pretty good with him ever since, but we're nowhere near as close as we were before 2009. I don't mind though really, because it's helped me get over him :spin2:

So yeah, things were a bit quiet because all my friends had pretty much gone to Uni already :laugh: I became best friends with this girl though who's still my best friend (Greg and Mark met her hai/) and that was a big bonus because she's lovely and sweet and caring and everything. Mid-2011 I got the rest of my A Levels and the results were so good that I ended up in the local paper with my photo :pipe: So I enrolled at Bath Spa in September...

First year of Uni was pretty amazing for the first term, constant parties and clubbing. But in January it was made clear that we'd have to move house back home because our house was condemned, because my landlord (coincidentally my uncle) was a neglectant prick who didn't give a **** about my mum or the house... blamed the problems on us kids (like mould? give over). So my mum was constantly in contact with me, and at this point was when her depression was diagnosed, so obviously this panicked me and I took my eye off of my studies... so yeah, ended up failing first year.

Have since got back in on appeal, though, am now living with some amazing people, and am pretty bloody happy overall. :)

Mine is mainly school because yeah

5 Years Ago (2007) - I was in Year 6, I remember it well it was just easy work and playing games in the playground like technology didn't even exist :love: I'd only been in Dover half a year at this point (I moved in like May 2007) and it was still weird not being in London. Anyway, I was ridiculously camp and annoying and strange but I was very well liked in primary. :joker:

4 Years Ago (2008) - I moved to a new house after only a year, in the middle of nowhere with crap internet. :bored: And in September I started Year 7, er let's pretend it didn't happen. It was all so exciting being in a new school but I was really irritating and a total mess and didn't make many friends. I was with my class in every lesson and it was weird being in a new environment with new people. At this point I was really horrible to my best friend I think and never did any work, always in trouble.

3 Years Ago (2009) - I loved this year because I started going to my drama group this year and met the best people, but they're all going to uni now :( This was the year I met loads of other people in my year and they mainly hated me but whatever. I became best friends with someone and we were inseparable for the whole year. Erm, I met my "girlfriend" at this time as well and eventually we started "going out" (using quotations because no way is it real when you're 12).

2 Years Ago (2010) - Amazing year. I'm not sure if 2010 or 2011 were better, it's pretty much even. I had arguments with basically all my friends and met other people who were mainly twats. I didn't do much work at school and started getting "popular" as the year went on which meant I was in loads of trouble. This was the first time I watched Big Brother as well. I remember spending the whole Summer obsessed with BB11 despite it being pretty bad looking back.

1 Year Ago (2011) - I'd kill to relive this year. Since most of it was year 9 I took nothing seriously and pissed about all the time. My class were all close by this point and we rickrolled teachers, had food fights, caused teachers to cry etc. the list of things goes on. I signed up to TiBB and spent far too much time trying to make friends on here, but I was still "loved" by loads in real life and managed to balance online and offline well. I did loads of new things this year as well and although I spent loads of it arguing and having fights with people I only ever think back on this year as it being amazing.

Now (2012) - Idk what happened but everything went wrong with GCSEs starting. People started hating me, I got sick of real life and started spending way more time online, especially when Plug happened. I became lazier than ever before. I was more addicted to this site than ever for a bit and basically I barely remember anything from this year. Most of the memories involve video games and I have to look at what songs I added to iTunes in a certain month just to remember what even happened in that month LOL. Now I'm better with everyone but meh, we're all too depressed about the future and spend 90% of the time talking about old times.

Oops essay

edit: I have a really dull teenage life looking back LOL

My eating disorder has kind of jumped up and down in the last few years, but its all stable now, so i'd say this year has been the best i've ever had, happy being single, got loads of new friends, enjoying college
ahh hope 2013 is as good

the last 5 years have been my worst and most uneventful years of my life full of mistakes

Shaun :hug:

really interesting to read about everyones life and has inspired me to start up a new thread lol oh and yes il tell u all wot the fortune teller says on thurs and then see if any of it comes true.

2007 - I don't really remember much from that year, other than being in Year 10 at school and absolutely hating every minute of it. High School was just horrible and has wrecked my confidence with whatever I do. I'm still 'suffering' nowadays because of being bullied. I remember that 2007 was the year I became obsessed with wrestling and I really wish I hadn't. Met 2 of my best friends online this year also.

2008 - Did my GCSE's, got good grades, left school.. Felt so happy to have left that ****hole. People told me I'd regret not going to prom or saying goodbyes to people but 4 years on and I don't regret a thing. Felt a bit pressured to go to college so I chose English Language, French and IT. Spent 3 months doing it and despising it, didn't hardly turn up.. I dropped out at Christmas. Went to a lot of WWE shows and met a lot of the wrestlers and spent too much of my savings on doing so which I really regret now. Got some online bullies/stalkers who would constantly send me hate messages telling me to die and made me feel ****. They wouldn't leave me alone for months.

2009 - Probably the worst year of my life. I had dropped out of college and basically had nothing to do in my life. I spent 8 months being a lazy bum basically, spent all my time on the internet and working on my website. Went to more WWE shows and I remember spending £150 on a front row ticket to see my favourite wrestler and he wasn't there. I was so sad. Haha. So much money down the drain. In August I decided enough was enough and applied to college to do something I had an interest in which was Graphic Design. Best decision ever. :) 2009 was the year I discovered the genius and perfection of The Beatles after going to Liverpool on a trip :)

2010 - Things got better, I was studying Graphics and really enjoying doing so. My obsession with wrestling slowly fizzled out and I was kind of glad. It was a really unhealthy obsession and looking back on it now, I can see how pathetic I was. I'm actually embarrassed to look back on what I was like. First time seeing one of my favourite bands, Fozzy. Went to see them 11 times in that year. Didn't really have many friends by this year, my 'best friend' who I could talk to about to about anything started becoming distant and eventually told me I was a bad friend and I haven't spoken to her since.

2011 - My last year of college and I left with good grades, I was happy with them. Went to France this year, drove around the north for 5 days with my dad which was lovely. :) Had to make a big decision on whether I really wanted to go to uni. I applied late 2010 because everyone else did but I wasn't sure I even wanted to go. Had to get over my fear of interviews - attended 3 uni interviews and got accepted into 2 of them. I had applied to Liverpool uni but got rejected - if I had been given a place I would have gone which would have dramatically changed my life, I often think how different my life would be right now if I moved away to uni instead of staying at home. Started uni doing Graphic Design in September and met some amazing people. Lots of ups and downs with people at uni. Found it incredibly difficult but stuck to it. My great aunt died (she was more like my nan) and it was really heartbreaking. Miss her loads but she gave me determination to do my best at uni - for her in a way.
I saw Paul McCartney live which was the highlight of my entire year omg :love: Also saw Ringo live too.. but Paul :love:

2012 - Been quite a good year. Ups and downs. Had my first boyfriend in March, and I'm still with him atm. Been a bit crazy in relation to that - lots of good times but a few bad times too but I really like him. Went to New York City which was AMAZING, and went to Dublin also which is a lovely place. Passed my driving test and got my own car.. Passed first year of uni which I was very pleased about, now in my second year and really trying to work as much as possible. This year has been a lot of new experiences for me.

Boring tbh. :(

Your response made me laugh louder than I should have. :laugh:

Just going to keep it brief

2007 began secondary, got excluded, got into a lot of fights :laugh: but I wasn't that bad really and it was really fun on the friends side of things

2008 was more or less the same as the previous year, but better. I also went on holiday for 4 weeks in Summer (I actually refused to go at one point because I didn't want to miss Big Brother LOL I was such a saddo) but I went and loved it

2009 started really badly with my grandad dying and then for the rest it was just boring. Started revising for my GCSEs in late 2009 as I did triple science, and I think that's when I stopped messing about and became more focused on work (I still got a D :rolleyes:)

2010 was **** at first but amazing around Autumn-Winter

2011, I really enjoyed the first half but the second half was a bit random. In August I had a bit of an accident (it was actually quite funny though). Then my grandma died later that month (was expected though as she was really ill) but my other grandma unexpectedly died exactly a week after. So yeah it was tough :(

2012 was shaky at the start but got a bit better late on and I got good GCSE results :D just started sixth form and I've settled in really well :)

Going to be honest, started great, but has got worse.

2007 and 2008 were good. Had lots of mates and was even considered popular :amazed: Had fun with life and had no cares in the world, the only problem was my weight. I was fat. :(

2009 - was when the bullying started, not too severe just a few name calling, but i didn't let it affect me too much, just got on with life.

2010- Started my GCSE's did terrible on my first year!! got nothing above a C

2011 - was probably my worst year. I was being bullied by this group of people who thought they were better than everyone else. I was called every name in the book. Fat ***** was their favorite, it got to the point where they took the piss when I asked for a hotdog at the fair, they made out i was asking for cock and More names came flooding in, All because i asked for a hotdog? Pathetic. but just got on with it even if i was a bit of a loner :L got good GCSE results though :)

2012- Started A levels. Lost a lot of weight :amazed: compliments rushed in! was very happy, but still am a but of a loner at school, can;t help but think it's my fault. A levels are stressful but doing ok, just gotta get on with them pass them and ****** off out of here to start a fresh :)

2007 - I was in year 8, and was nothing more than a Britney-stanning mess can we not mention this period please thank you.

2008 - Nothing much happened here either. I got a little bit less immature and started listening to a lot more music. I made a couple more friends at school too but nothing major really.

2009 - I started using TiBB (albeit under my old account which I lost the password to) but I was only here for on-season. Other than that, I became addicted to Facebook. I also went to China with my Mum in the Summer. That was the best holiday of my life. I've never been to such a wonderful country. It was scary too, because the Chinese authorities were still mindful of Swine Flu when we went so they scanned everyone with thermal cameras as they walked off the plane and into the terminal. I got pulled aside for extra temperature tests and I honestly felt like they were gonna quarantine me. It was pretty horrid to be separated from my Mum in a foreign country like that. :laugh:

2010 - I started using TiBB under this account. Again I initially came for on-season and left, but then I returned in September and discovered C&G after seeing Patrick's thread about punching some kid at school and being suspended or some **** (idek how I remember that). Also, my brother got engaged too, I went to see Gaga in concert, and I got my MacBook after 6 months of saving for it. :love:

2011 - I was much less of a mess in this year. I started using Tumblr and my fashion sense became acceptable. My GCSE results came back and they were middling/decent at best. I started doing my A-Levels which stressed the ****e out of me, had my first relationship which failed miserably, and had to deal with my brother trying to commit twice in the space of 6 weeks. Not nice. I'm glad last year is behind me.

2012 - Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of this year. It's been decent in a lot of ways: I've finally got a good idea on what I want to be when I'm older (a writer), and I've got a really good group of friends I know and trust. I also discovered Björk and Goldfrapp. :love: But it's sucked too. In the summer I had a seizure and that was pretty mental. Ever since then I've been having panic attacks, and though they don't happen as often they're really quite bad when I do get them which has kinda been limiting the things I can do. Oh and my AS results were a bit of a flop (B, D, D, U). Yeah. Not the best of years.

Ahh, don't stress. You'll find a good circle of friends when the time is right, focus on your studies for the time being. Glad to see you are doing well, buddy.
