Speak up. Just tell someone and don't move until they do something about it.4

In the spirit of this thread is a song by Brad Paisley...
Letter To Me
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at seventeen
First I'd prove it's me by saying
Look under your bed, there's a Skoal can and a Playboy
No one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her
And it just don't seem fair
But I'll I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
And oh, you got so much going for you
Going right
But I know at seventeen
It's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
But still you feel like there's
A knife sticking out of your back
And you wondering if you'll survive
But you'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and 8th
Always stop completely, don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridget
Make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it, that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and Dad is right
And you should really thank Ms. Brinkman
She spent so much extra time
It like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you till you shine
And oh you got so much going for you
Going right
But I know at seventeen
It's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead
Because if you fail Algebra
Mom and Dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
You got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end by saying have no fear
These are nowhere near
The best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can
And oh you got so much going for you
Going right
But I know at seventeen
It's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
If I could write a letter to me
To me

Having just returned from my 40th high school reunion:
The bullies and mean girls? They're the ones with the issues, not you. Their taunts and disparaging remarks are a desperate attempt to feel better about who they are by acting like they're better than you. They're not.8 -
Do not worry about what other people think
Go after what makes you happy
Dont wait until your 40 to start eating right

I would tell myself that security is an illusion. Don’t work to get it, fight to hold on to it or be panic stricken as it slips away. It was never real to begin with. Use your energy to make yourself happy.7

Stand up for yourself, walk away, if you're doing all the work it ain't working.1

Hard to boil down to a single sentence, but I'd want to convey to my younger self that there are not just two types of relationships being either passionate yet horribly dysfunctional or boring with no attraction. There really IS a good middle ground that you can find and actually enjoy life & be happy and romantically fulfilled!
It would have saved me from years in Marriage #1 (which fortunately was boring with no attraction and not the other type).2 -
I wish I could teach my younger self how to recognize a narcissist.5

You want to know why I like what I like? I’m not sure how to answer that.1 -
