Should you share your past mistakes with your teens hoping they will avoid the same problems?

Asked by summerlover (476points) November 19th, 2009

Recently a question was asked regarding how you get over your past mistakes. Well, I have often wondered if it is beneficial to your kids to discuss how you may have messed up when you were younger. Will this help your teen avoid the same pitfalls? Most people I talk with (every person I have talked with) thinks it is better to not talk about.
