    DUMP the guy's *kitten* u are with now. He's not worth it and he will make u feel like complete garbage overall! You are NOT fat at the weight u are now (around 120) so shut up! Don't take being a size 5 for granted either. Take the damn sat's SERIOUSLY, you'll feel like a complete dumbass later on. Watch what the hell u ate or you'll end up in about 6 or 7 years feeling like a complete fatass 20 lbs heavier.

    Buy property by the water it will go up heaps in value by the time your 50.
    travel a bit before having kids.
    dont lend money to friends you will never get it back so you may as well just give it to them as a gift.
    dont leave all your worldly possesions in the care of so called friends you will be lose the lot and never see your stuff or the friends again.
    If you live oin a flood prone area MOVE.
    Keep paint well away from your baby boy (if he read this he'd know what I mean, LOL)
    Do Not ride that moter bike through park You will have an accident.

    invest in Apple, keep an eye out for Google and for frack sakes finish that History paper early so that when Cherise spends the night while your parents are away and keep coming out to "talk" to you in less and less sleep wear you don't waste the evening on that fracking paper!!!!! .

    Other then that I would tell him to work out more, cuz I can kick the crap out of 17 year old me and that is just sad.

    Major points for the avatar... and *kitten* this made me laugh... Cherise totally wanted you man!!! *Shakes fist*

    umm, way to go on doing Saba Zafar!!

    Edit: BTW, theres ALOT of bad things I could warn my 17 yrs old self, but tbh, I cherish every single mistake I made. Every bad thing that happened to me made me the man I am (that includes losing my mother at 19 when I was in US and she was in Asia)

    Never let someone be your priority, while you remain their option.

    You will never look this good again, stop being so down on yourself.

    If you killed them all now, you would be out by the time you are writing this.

    Call that boy you were nuts about that moved away when you were 15. That way you don't have to wait until you're 40 to marry him.

    Mom is right, the damage you do to your body now is REALLY gonna hurt when you're over 50!

    Don't trust anybody, apart from your family (although this doesn't apply to everybody!).
    Go to career fairs at university and network.
    Don't spend your time at university getting drunk and doing no work, you will regret it eternally (I did well, but I could have done really well.)
    Do medicine, not English.
    When somebody tells you that you make them feel eternally happy, that's a cue for you to kiss them.

    I would tell myself Don't drink so much, go easy on the drugs and you're not gonna look this good forever so make the most of it! Also stick to the Uni course.
    Not that I'd have listened because I knew EVERYTHING when I was 17...

    Don't treat women like they are on a pedestal and enjoy your youth. Getting stuck in a LTR when young = bad idea!

    I would tell myself that if I thought I was big then , to shape up now before you turn 30 and see the damage you have done to yourself with food and inactivity. And how much more difficult life is when you can't enjoy it. Then 17 year old me would tell current me that he's a dummy and I got this under control. Because when I was 17, I knew it all and you couldn't tell me nothing. Seem to be the common thread.

    I would tell myself to stay fit and never stop. What You do to your body then, will come and bite you in the butt, when your older!

    I would tell myself to enjoy every minute that I could with my best friend, as he would be gone in a couple of years.

    Now if I could have a talk to myself when I was 25 well...

    Funny that this question is here. I just answered another post about our ages when we had our kids. I had my first baby at 17. I love him to pieces (and all my other kids, also), but I probably should have waited to have kids.

    Don't worry so much.
    You are NOT fat.
    Enjoy every second, you'll have the rest of your life to be concerned about all the other stuff.
    Finish college, you'll regret it later.
    Don't be so concerned about not finding "mister right"...he'll be there later and it will be so worth the wait.
    Don't be so scared of people, be yourself, they will like you.

    I would definitely tell myself to buy stocks... and also that eating is good! Don't be an idiot food fuels the body- the restrictive eating and excessive exercising will make you GAIN weight and make you weak. Stop worrying what others think of you and start doing what makes you happy!

    Stop complaining about how skinny you are!! You'll regret it when you hit 19 years old, when it all catches up with you!
    Also, don't go on birth control. It's the sole reason you gained weight for the first time in your life you idiot!!

    If you don't want a career that needs a degree, stop wasting your time at school.

    Dress sluttier - you won't ever be this thin again.
    Also, try to be cooler next year when you go to university. But definitely get a single room, cause your roomate's not gonna like you.

    ETA: Don't let that guy bother you so much. He's only teasing you because he likes you. Don't worry, you'll end up marrying him.
