    If it smells like fish but isn't fish. Don't eat it.

    Always lock the door when you *kitten*.

    No always mean yes.

    Embrace all that you are, believe in all you can be.

    Don't let your shyness rob you of exciting opportunities/adventures.

    Enjoy & cherish every moment with those you love, you never know how much time they have on earth.

    Hold on until you hit your 40's. Its then you will become your authentic self (and its a good one too!) :)

    If all your friends hate your boyfriend, there's probably a reason. Date someone else.

    There's a lot of great advice here to take right now! :D

    Advice to my younger-self from my personal experience would have been:

    ~enjoy your youth, don't try to grow up so fast
    ~SAVE your earnings
    ~know that you're just as good and deserving as everyone else
    ~don't give your heart to those who won't appreciate it
    ~stand up for yourself
    ~learn to love yourself first
    ~don't be harsh on yourself, this life isn't serious, it's for living and learning
    ~uniqueness is a gift, not a curse
    ~know that being a nice/good person isn't a weakness, it's a good quality that a lot of people out there aren't evolved enough to understand or appreciate.
    ~focus on the Positive
    ~love, soak, relish, in every second life gives you, because it's short and it's sweet, and it's AMAZING.
    ~tell your loved ones how much you love them, often.
    ~keep your body active and healthy :)
    ~lastly, don't stay for breakfast ;)

    ^you can probably tell I had a issued youth ;) haha. This is a great topic!

    This! + to not give liars, addicts or cheaters second chances, ever!
    Focus on your education and personal goals above all else.
    Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of trying - in fact, it may be one of the biggest steps forward you'll ever take.

    Save your money more.
    Don't try all of those drugs.
    Do have your son.
    Get good grades in HS.
    Get the help you need.
    Don't starve or throw up.
    Again, love yourself.

    -Stop trusting your mother now. Stop trying to make it work. Stop protecting her emotionally. You are wiser and know better. Listen to your own instincts, find your own way. Basically just don't listen to your family. Your way is smarter. It's not ok for people to hurt you, yes this is harmful. It's ok to admit that and tell an adult that you can trust. Keep telling. Trust yourself. Trust yourself. Trust yourself. I can't drill this in enough.
    -You are more beautiful than you realize. Love yourself and your body. And don't measure your value by your body.
