If you could give advice to your 14 year old self...
- Thread starter Evilbunny
- Start date
I do believe I would say "enough with the tangents, focus on the point in sentences". I might just be a little further ahead in life right now if I knew that back then.
The following:
- Listen to your freaking parents.
- Pay more attention in school. You're smart enough, stop goofing off.
- Don't go to Chicago for school, you aren't going to be a teacher. Go take radio broadcasting...yes seriously.
- Avoid the following girls: *Gives list*
- Make sure you go to this concert, it's where you meet your wife. She's awesome.
- Don't spend so much money on useless crap. Save it, you moron.
- Highschool problems don't go beyond highschool. Put up with that shit for 4 years, and never look back. You won't care in two years anyways.
- Seriously, listen to your parents. They aren't old and stupid, they are smarter then you think.
- Warn your dad about ladders, because in 5 years he'll have a serious accident and never be the same.
- Stick with the 'no drugs' and 'no booze' approach. It serves you extremely well in the future.
- Don't worry, you still play video games, and you even get a huge TV! Patience.
- Start reading up on theology, because chances are you'll eventually be involved in ministry.
- And, about your Faith, it's a wonderful thing...but don't shove down people's throat. Friendly dialogue does not equal debate and argument. You can respect others beliefs while disagreeing with them.

"Don't date Andrea. She's crazy and never put out anyway. Oh, and don't humiliate yourself by trying to fit-in in High School, almost no one's worth it and you won't make any new good friends until you figure this out anyway."
EDIT: "Don't be so straight-edge. You're just making yourself unhappy and alienating yourself from future good times and good friends."

DON'T GO ON THAT BIKE RIDE IN SCOTLAND! YOU FALL AND NEARLY DIE!
Don't get drunk in a couple months time at your friends house and play tonsil tennis with that very unattractive "larger" girl. It's not worth the years of jip.
Drugs are baaaad m'kay.

You did the right thing, don't fuck it up.
But wait, if I did fuck it up then I wouldn't be able to speak from that position. So the me that said that wouldn't be able to exsist. Time travel sucks.

DON'T BE AN ARTIST. YOU AN ONLY DRAW EFFECTIVELY WHEN DOPED UP ON RITILAN AND YOU -SHOULD- BE DOING SCHOOLWORK. ALSO DON'T WRECK YOUR FIRST CAR. ALSO DO DRUGS, SMOKE, AND DRINK OR EVERYONE WILL HATE YOU. *At that point my 14-year-old D.A.R.E.-supporting self will murder my 22-year-old self and create some kind of time paradox that causes the universe to explode*
Don't freak out, I'm as confused as you are. Or would that be "as I am". But dump the chick, the herb ain't going to kill you, and stick with the kickboxing+taekwando. It gets more useful. And trust me GO TO THAT PARTY NEXT YEAR. I know you will, and you'll agree that it was excellent.
14 wasn't that bad.
I guess the worst time of my life was 15 and I still bear the consequences of some of my actions... I'm 17 now.
