Beyond finding yourself thinking about those "actions", how are they actually affecting you now? For instance, is someone else bringing up bits of your history -- "Look what you used to do! Neener, neener!" -- to get the better of you in an argument or something? Or is this just between you and yourself?
You do have one very good excuse, should you choose to use it: you were only 12, or 11, or 10 or whatever -- and aren't kids that age
supposed to learn things the hard way a lot?
I can imagine that if you were worried about something that was going on for you now, you might wonder if, say, some of it might not be cosmic justice -- consequences or even punishment for something you did back then. I can also imagine you thinking, "Hey! If I did that back then, how do I know I won't do something even dumber tomorrow?" I don't know if it's any consolation, but we all have
that problem -- though some of us worry about it more than others.
