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

No matter what everyone else tells you, your passion for videogames is absolutely beautiful. Don't let them put you down. Your parents wouldn't complain if you spent 6 hours a day writing, reading books, studying or exercising. Why aren't they cheering you on? Because they're prejudiced, nothing more.
Don't get your hopes up about a political party or candidate. They'll let you down, like they always do.
I know you're afraid of metal music right now because of the people bullying you having Metallica and Napalm Death t-shirts, but you really should listen to some, it's really fantastic.
Don't be ashamed of liking The Powerpuff Girls. A few years from now, you'll be liking a show about ponies with millions of other adult guys. Gender stereotypes SUCK.
Most people respect the guys who pick on you. You're afraid of them. That doesn't mean people need to fear you in order to respect you. Smile and be yourself. Way less tiring and way more satisfying.
Yeah, that girl is very, very pretty, but stalking is creepy. Stop it. She's not worth it anyway.
Don't go to college just because your parents tell you to. If you go, try going to something you like. How about game design?
...
Yeah, that was more than one piece of advice. Heck, if I could contact my teenage self, I would probably write a 3-page letter.

You know those friends you've been ignoring...those are your REAL friends, you should listen to them, they have your back! This other crowd can and will throw anytone under the bus on a whim and by the time you realize it your real friends will have moved on thinking you're a jackass like these bozos and being around them because of your girlfriend is one of the worst mistakes you will ever make on every level. It will take many years to patch up the friendships that would have been solid all along.
By the way, play the lottery...use these numbers.

Thank you for that news bit. I, like everyone else on the planet, saw the movie.
My point was that I could easily bypass the "Can't give my past self wast details about stock changes or some other stuff to get rich on (like the almanac)" rule by simply dropping a name of a single company that would make it big. Hell, had I been old enough, I could have simply told him to invest in "some kind of fruit company".
I would promptly slap myself in the face and tell me to stop being such a spineless prick. Then I would tell me to treat my friends nicer and grow a backbone for heaven's sakes.
Don't be so fucking meek and shy, turns out yes it does hurt when you punch someone now get over there and pummel the guy giving you all this shit, while we're at it stop giving a shit what everyone thinks, give the emo girl that's been eyeing you up a chance, especially considering how she turns out, yowza! And for the love of all things holy get some more friends!
Quit band. Your friends will get over it and you'll be much happier. Join theater and the school newspaper.
I'm not sure going back to age 15 would be enough. I think I'd need to find myself age 10-12.
If I had to boil it down to one sentence, it would be Do absolutely everything the opposite of the way you want to do it.

"It's not gastric, it's appendicitis. don't wait 2 weeks before going to the hospital iif you want to avoid the mental trauma."
She likes you, and if you don't do something about it now she's going to go out with someone else and you'll spend the rest of your days kicking yourself over it.
Don't be so damn awkward! Don't be afraid to talk to people, but when you do talk to people, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY FIRST!
The first thing they learn about you shouldn't be what kind of porn you look at. (For the love of god, don't ask...)
Also the way you dress and style your hair is stupid. Change it. Change it ALL!

Do more drugs, drink more and fuck around with girls more often. You'll regret having been so stuck up in Highschool. AND BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT KINDA MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO!
