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

[Someone Depressing]

Don't go to your prom - it'll suck.

And if you insist, wear a fucking tux. Everyone else will.

Please, please, don't join a sports club.

Don't join a drama club either.

In Morrowind, you're better off playing as a Dark Elf. Good mixed-tank.

That's about it, really.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

up, up, down ,down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A, select, start...

I would give past me the will to live...

 

[Kelethor]

Just one? Fuck...

OKAY, look, I don't have a lot of time so listen. For the love of god, Be more confident with yourself. you're a funny guy, you know you are. so don't be....awkward with women. I know that sounds hard, believe me, it isn't easy. But, you can do it. and when you do it, It is sooooo worth it. believe me.

Oh, and you'll be okay. most problems you have are pretty insignificant. don't sweat the small stuff, stay with good friends, but don't be afraid to make more.

AND BEWARE THE FRIENDZONE! BEEEWAAAAAAAAAAAAARE!

 

[Skrag The Summoner]

i would go back to one hour ago and yell "GET SOME WORK DONE YOU DUMBF**K"

 

[Elate]

"You'll need better maths for uni, study it now so I don't fail this test in 2 hours."

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

"Don't even try," "it's not worth keeping" or "give up now." Its all the same thing, it just depends on when I contact my past self.
My past self would likely understand.

 

[simonw91]

For the love of God, do well in Sixth Form! We're smart enough to go far, don't end up having to scrape through to get university.
Oh and don't spend all your money at once, the next few years are going to offer up some awesome opportunities and you're going to need as much cash as possible to enjoy them all thoroughly!
P.S. Get a hair cut, you look ridiculous!
And another thing... a Transformers movie might sound awesome, but don't get your hopes up. Really. Bad.

LOL and I know exactly when you would want to say that

And thats a pretty girly avatar, even for you man

 

[Declaro]

I know, it sucked. It hurts, feeling like you're a failure because of some piece of paper graded by someone on the other side of the planet. Disappointment hurts, and it hurts even worse knowing that you got to wake up the next day and he didn't. So for fuck's sake, let it hurt. You're a lot better off hurting and coping than you are pretending that you don't feel.

Oh, also, go to the fucking psychiatrist sooner- as in, right that damn second. The wait will end up being longer than you think.

(And because I saw this from someone else, and it's true for me too...

Everyone who went to the ball/Prom wished they hadn't. You were right.)

 

[Klaflefalumpf]

"Take that damned apprenticeship while you can, dumbass. It doesn't get any better. Oh and man up and take her up on that offer of a drink."

 

[PhantomEcho]

"Don't let yourself get jaded. You've picked the right path, no matter what the people around you think. If you don't walk it, if you lose control of that anger inside of you and let it rule you, then you're going to spend a lot of years just spinning your wheels. Stay focused on what you know is right, and wrong, and never question that decision. The only thing we have in this world is our code. If you let someone else write that code for you, then you've turned yourself into a slave. You victimize yourself."

 

[ldgoodpobad]

I would give him the name of the best performing stocks. For 100 dollars the I could be loaded now. I'm overall pretty happy with how how my adolescence went, and the mistakes I made weren't that major and the lesson wouldn't have the same impact coming in the form of a lecture. I might try to also give my younger self some lessons on how competitive debate works so I could win more, that would be something my younger self would listen to and bennifit from.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

I'm talking high school-age here. Anyways, pretty self explanatory; keep it short,
And...go.

Hmmm....

Well, for one thing, I think I'd go back to my 14 year old self and say "Lesbians and bisexual women exist. It is completely okay and normal to be attracted to other girls."

Also, if we wanna get trippy, I'd take my 15 year old self to meet my 16 year old self, and then get them a room and walk away. Or, if I was worried that they wouldn't know what to do, I might drop off my 17 years old self too.

Then I'd pick up my 18 year old self and my 19 year old self, a digital video camera, and the domain www.twincest.com* and make myself a small fortune.

*[sub]Note - I have no idea if that domain actually exists - I hope not. It is an old joke about a couple I knew who were no relation, but looked like siblings, and were thusly teased with the fake domain name above.[/sub]

That made me laugh XD

Anyway, I think I'd give myself the advice to not be a doormat, but that there's no reason to be an asshole either. >_>

I used to be the first, I met someone who changed that and I turned around completely.

Hardly! It's barely girly at all!
And you're right. You know me too well.

 

[doomspore98]

14 year self to 10 year past. Have your parents and friends double check your writing. You will have a really crappy december in 8th grade if you don't.

 

[aenimau5]

Start reading comics, play less xbox (less not none), don't loan your friend battlefront, your ps2 is going to break on Christmas day (also you get hella sick on the same day(seriously this Christmas is going to suck)), work out please its way easier to do it now than later and finally enough of the militant atheist "god is for shitheads lol" crap. (Also since getting really angry with your past self seems to be the thing to do on this threadBWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAHADABIGWADDSAWBGHSSFFFRRRPP!)

Also socialise if at all posible

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

-see those girls there? avoid them like the plague, they are teasing awful people to their very core, they will break your kindness and generosity until their is nothing left but a stump of what you once were. See her over there? yeah, she's the one. have at it, she is damn fine 6 years from now.

-all these subjects your learning now but not paying attention to? do the fucking homework, it'll make college a damn breeze like high school already is if you just buckle down and retain some of this.

-learn about computers dammit, it was a pain absorbing all that freshman year, would be much easier to learn it in high school

-stick with sports, giving it up in college is an absolute mistake, your going to miss it dearly.

 

[PLightstar]

-don't it on the fence all the time. Who cares if it alienates people. You won't see those people ever again. Don't be afraid of upsetting people, stop being so nice.

-To avoid alot of emotional scars, when you meet a women at 22 ignore her and go for her friend, you end up marrying that friend.

-Don't leave your walkman in the changing room during Badminton, it will be stolen.

-Pay off your debts as fast as you can, don't let them pile up as I am still paying for them now.
