IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

Being as what a few people on here would consider an 'Old Fart" I'm glad that very little evidence exists of me in my teenage years
I'm sitting back and laughing at young kids uploading all their exploits to Facebook, Youtube etc.
In 10-15 years time your gonna look back on those videos and say 'Oh my god, what a fucking twat I was back then"*
*just discovered an old VHS of such Twatwortheness that will never be viewed again.

Age has its benefits. Lots of things that I did as a kid that I'm glad won't see the light of day again. Not least of which is the fashions, both hair and clothes - I thought I looked sooo cool. I cringe to think of it now.

All of the above, to my shame. (well not the wiiiiiiide shoes, they were for boys! I had wedges, and oil rigs and stuff.
And hairspray, lots and lots of hairspray.

will be largely people explaining things that didn't happen to them, I'd get my hard hat and clipboard, and apply for some overtime pretty sharpish if I were you.

There's always time to make a fool of yourself and upload it to the net. You should be glad you have the opportunity these days, and take full advantage of it.
Okay, you may not be able to reproduce the precise melange of credulous, unthinking, not-yet-punctured bravery-stupidity that only teenagers possess without trying, but as with every other field of human achievement, planning and practise can equal - if not surpass - raw unpolished talent.
Basically, go out there and make a twat of yourself before it's too late!

I had that a few months back - seeing me drunk and spouting crap at the tender age of 17... loathsome.
