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

[JMeganSnow]

For me:

1. All that stuff you think is bullshit, actually is. Stop worrying about it and just ignore it.
2. Don't eat carbs. You'll spend the next 20 years sick as a dog if you do, thinking it's all your fault that you're fat and depressed and too tired to do anything.
3. Novel, artwork, and computer programming, in that order, are DEFINITELY more important than homework.
3a. Take easy classes (except for art/CS) and do JUST enough of the pointless busywork to keep the parents off your back.
3b. Do everything you can to graduate as early as humanly possible. Pester people incessantly until they let you skip several years.
3c. Stay after school frequently to use the school computers and equipment and stuff. It's free. It won't be in a few years.
4. Don't let ANYBODY talk you into trying to go to college. It's worthless to you and you don't have the temperament for it.
5. Get a job as soon as you're old enough and save up every penny you can so that you can move out the minute you turn 18.
6. Computer with expensive software and art supplies are a better investment than a car. Find an apartment within walking/biking distance of work. This will be a lot easier if you followed #2 religiously.
7. Weight training is important. "Cardio" is for chumps.
8. You love to dance. Take some classes already.
9. Wear sunscreen.

Only spend $60 in the strip club. 20 for entrance, 20 for lap dance, 20 in tips.

"Learn how to study. Yes, you can ace high-school without studying. Do not assume you can do that to University exams."

either that or

"Here's how you can time travel!"

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

I'd advise myself of some lotto numbers of course.... But knowing me, and I do know me, I'll probably ignore myself or try to bury the experience as some kind of mental break down. Oh and I'll tell myself that a 24 can crate of carlsburg for less than £10 is a BAD FREAKING IDEA.

 

[asskicker2005]

If she seems like a crazy ***** when you meet her... She probably IS, so GTFO while you can!!!

 

[Zanderinfal]

There's always more girls out there. Just...good luck finding ones that like games and comedy as much as you do.

Jesus, I didn't think you could be ninja'd on a post like this. Fuck.

I'm out of ideas now...

"Stop trying to change yourself, you are going to be the same person for the rest of your days. Deal with it."

 

[TAGM]

"If the teacher asks if you have a problem in a few days, for god's sake, DON'T tell her you think you might be autistic! It's going to cause more harm then good, because - ... Wait, free stuff in uni? In that case, tell her. Just DON'T accept the collage help. Also, when they ask you what you want to do? TAKE DRAMA. FOR GOD'S SAKE, TAKE DRAMA INSTEAD OF COMPUTING."

 

[bigfatcarp93]

DON'T TAKE THAT MEDICATION.

 

[mateushac]

Please, dude, go for it on fist sight! Don't let your chances pass by, things never change for better.

Me: Never talk to that tall lanky guy with greasy hair in your class about Red vs Blue or anything Rooster Teeth related with him, i know you like it but he will never shut up or stop quoting lines from it and you will never have a normal conversation with him again.

oh and also don't even pretend to choke that guy in your friend group, he dosen't care that you never even touched his neck and he will turn around and sock you in the jaw, you will get in a fight and you'll both be suspended. Good day

Past Me:......who the fuck was that guy?

 

[MorganL4]

Don't blow off school, make a point of putting in some effort so that you can leave home for college... oh yeah, and dumbshit learn the signs, girls are subtle, but they are there!!!

 

[smithy_2045]

Learn how to socialise while you're in highschool, especially with girls, even if you're not particularly interested in a relationship or anything at the time. That way, when you're older and you do want a relationship, you won't hate yourself for how inept you are at attracting partners, and you'll hopefully have some friends you can talk with if you do fuck things up.

1. A decade of dedicated research as proven that you are not, in fact, invincible. Climb off the ramp, take off the skates... that way you won't have the hips and spine of a 50 year old before you're thirty.

2. Don't worry, the "saving yourself" thing will pay off in another 5 years or so... trust me, dude, she's wicked hot and the marriage ~does~ work out.

3. When your college buddies introduce you to Neverwinter Nights private servers, just ignore them and get back to studying for finals.

4. In case you ignored number 3 anyway, you ~will~ flunk out and start looking at the military. Avoid the Marines at all costs and join the Air Force. (See number 1)

5. In accordance with number 3, go back to playing StarCraft. Your micro fucking sucks.

"Here are the winning NCAA basketball tournament brackets for the past 3 years. Have fun being rich. And you look much better with short hair."

 

[The SettingSun]

I'm 17 so i'll tell my 15-16 year old self:

"I know you think you're good and getting really good grades but that's because you're surrounded by really unacademic people. Once you reach college, you'll realise your grades are average for the types of places you want to be applying too."

 

[Insanely Asinine]

Start drawing now.

 

[SEXTON HALE]

Stop sleeping so much and do something you lazy prick

 

[blackflare]

I would tell myself not to be as much of a slacker and to stop myself playing Runescape before I started and knowing me I probably would not listen anyway.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Don't use so much bloody hair gel! You look like a hedgehog!
