If you could go back and tell your teenage self one piece of advice...

[Rancid0ffspring]

Don't smoke weed you tool. Rots your brain and you're lazy enough as it is.

 

[loc978]

Sex isn't a big deal, kid. The more seriously you take it, the less you'll get it. Be careful and have fun.

 

[Kapri]

Get. A. Fucking. Job. If you don't, five years from now you'll have no recent job experience and no one will hire you.

 

[Nerexor]

Get a job as soon as you can. You get money, learn some much needed humility, and be able to move out when all your friends do for first year university.

 

[Goldjit]

Hit. Everyone. Everytime.

 

[A Weakgeek]

I hate reading these threads, make me feel like I've been missing out on so much and done so much stuff wrong. Mainly because of all the "Don't let her go" and "You'll have sex" comments.

 

[tofulove]

my advice would be, here are all the winning lotto numbers.

 

[an874]

You're smart, but if you don't study, you'll lose it. For the love of God, please keep studying. I know High School is really easy. College is a much different experience. It's way more competitive and you're sleeping and passing thing isn't possible here.

Pretty much this. If only I had an inkling of what I was really doing to myself early in college.

 

[newdarkcloud]

One, start working out. It's not bad.

Two, stop acting like an asshole! Seriously. Not everything revolves around you.

 

[The Funslinger]

Just punch that guy. It'll make so many things so much easier.

Ask her out immediately, don't wait.

You're awesome.

Stick at your attempts to get in shape. Please.

 

[Da pyro man 999]

I would smack him round the back of the head and say grow a pair.

 

[Rumpsteak]

Don't download that world of warcraft demo. This is how much time and money you spent on it and this is how many times you wished you could punch someone through the monitor. Just don't do it.

 

[targren]

You will NOT be dead by thirty, no matter how much you're sure you will. The universe is going to continue having far too much fun at your expense, so thicken up and get to work. And keep your appointments with the dentist.

 

[newwiseman]

"Wake up you blind horny bastard, she's cheating on you" should be self explanatory, and if I got two lines "Go after Noel NOW, she's hotter, smarter, and actually makes something of herself."

My captcha is also hobby-horse

 

[Zantos]

Ooooh there's three good ones for me. Erm, "Look after yourself a little better, despite what your mum makes you believe healthy food doesn't have to taste like arse"

"Don't shrug off all girls you like that you think might feel the same as 'wishful thinking'"

Or see what I can do to my past self, hold up a sign that says "Do not trust the man in blue" and see how it goes.

 

[Richardplex]

Richard, you should totally study and stuff, because otherwise when you reach my age, you'll be on some gaming website posting a reply that no-one will read, instead of revising for that quantum mechanics exam you have tomorrow which you don't understand in the slightest...

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Nothing, really. I'm still experiencing it. But still, if i would go back till' the age of 10/14, I'd problaby say this to myself.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK! I know it's easy as hell, and you know everything about it, but do it! Or else you will just end up 5 years later, and have barely touched a homework in the past 5 years. Get a routine of doing your homeworks, or else your future self will have a painful time trying to force himself to do them.

 

[Zio_IV]

"Dude, don't drop out of high school and join the Marines. The years you spend in them will be interesting, but...it won't end well. Just dont."

 

[Byere]

depends on which age of my teenage self.

About 12-13, "Get her number, don't lose contact with her."

About 14-16, it's less about what I say and more about teaching myself to have more confidence and stand up for myself... and not to be such an irritable little shit... not to mention to get myself to study harder in school..

17+? I don't think there was anything that needed to be said... oh, but when I was 19, not long before my 20th birthday... Ask her friend if she wants to join rather than just saying "Can we finish please?"... If anyone can guess why, then +1 cookie for you :3

 

[templar1138a]

"Get a job."

Also, a hobby-horse is a rocking horse. It's a very old term, as there's at least one reference to a metaphorical hobby-horse in one of Shakespeare's plays (I don't remember which one).
