    Wear sunscreen.

    More seriously:

    Nothing that happens in high school matters, go for it, if you *kitten* up it won't matter in 2 years, if you succeed you'll remember for a lifetime.

    I know you think you want to go into IT as a career, you don't. I don't know what you SHOULD pick, but skip that.

    Spend as much time as you can with family... They won't be here forever. Also, Listen to your mother. She knows what she is talking about!

    NEVER pay attention to medical people who say "It's going to be your normal....learn to live with it." Keep fighting until you find your diagnosis.

    Amen! You NEVER give up! You keep fighting! There is always someone out there who can and will help you, you just have to keep fighting.

    As for me, I would tell myself that when I went into labor, and they refused to call Dr. Hinton, fight. Fight hard. Rip the I.V out of your arm if you have to, and tear those bands off of your stomach. Raise so much hell that he IS called, and not 12 hours after you've been in labor, before that needle is put in your back. Don't let them do it. It's not going to work. They're going to try 7 different times, and bruise your back severely for nothing. You will be neglected. The things you will go through are unimaginable. Push to get your doctor there. Get that I.V back in your arm and go to sleep. Have a c-section. Be able to remember your child's first year of life. Don't live in terror of ever becoming pregnant again.

    OMG I would have to give myself a lecture, but the best piece of advice would be 'don't settle for second best in anything or anyone ever'... That would probably have made my life turn out very differently!

    Also no crash dieting and get fit NOW!!
