In my life there have been two (2), just two, things I've really and truly regretted:
1. In 5th grade I (accidentally) kicked a girl. I'm not really sure what happened to her leg, except that it must have been pretty bad because the entire week after that she was on crutches. Conveniently enough, that girl who I kicked was the best friend of someone who had been my best friend the year before. The girl was certain I'd done it on purpose. I hadn't. Her mother came in and yelled at me during class. "Why did you do that to (girl's name)? Do you hate her? Why do you hate her?" My ex-best friend did not believe me. My family did not believe me. No one did. I still regret it
2. Last year I found some photos of my mother from 5 years ago. She looks so much younger, so much happier there. I've often wondered what could cause a woman to age so quickly. I’ve also wondered if my brother and I might have had something to do with it. I’m sorry, Mom.

I think I know who you are or I know someone who did something similar in 5th grade. But the girl had dislocated her knee or something earlier that week.
When I was like 4, I smacked a girl in the face with a kaleidoscope. I nearly broke her nose. Looking back on it, I think we both thought it was pretty funny, but damned if I didn't get in a hell of a lot of trouble for it.
I'm kind of impressed that you've only had two major mistakes in life. I try to make at least two or three major mistakes a day... just to keep my life from being too good, you know?
All joking aside, to get your amount of regret down that far is fairly admirable... and I admire you for it... which is what the word admirable means... and I should be doing a French project instead of making a fool out of myself on Tangst.
