    Dear younger me,

    You are not fat.. Don't settle for one boy in high school, date others and in college don't jump into that other relation ship. Have fun and probably study more...

    Dear 16 year old me,
    You know the new girl 'tack', as in ' flat as a tack' don't be too mean you end up marrying her, yup she is and was the ONE And when that offer letter comes in from that rugby club, don't think you couldn't make it. You would have and who knows how far you could have gone. Other than that try and be more patience and persistent, it help life a lot if you don't give all the time. Oh and invest in Microsoft

    Your older and much wiser self

    PS. Slow the f%#k down when you drive, writing off three cars if expensive andreputation ruining

    Dear 16 Year Old Me,

    Bob isn't the guy you think he is. When you "re-meet" him some five years later, don't have kids with him. He's a crappy father. Trust me.

    Pay more attention to what you have, every day. Fight harder for the good things. Don't blame others for what goes wrong. You won't appreciate it until it's gone, and you won't get it back once it does go.

    Dear 16 year old Shannon,

    By now I'm hoping you stoped riding around in an El Camino and moved on to better things. Just an FYI..Dave is going to dump you. You'll be fine. Don't obess over it. It's not attractive. The first guy you'll really love is right around the corner...and though he doesn't last he'll set the bar for the future dudes AND he'll introduce you to the best friend you'll ever had. Make a point to express your interest in cheer captain to the coaches...if you don't you're going to lose it to someone you least expect. So you want to hang out with Shannon A and those other girls? Do it. You're not a loser..stop being so shy. Tell Peter in show choir how you feel..he's a cool guy. Stop being an jerk to Stephanie.. you'll wish you were closer when you're older. Slow down on the road up to the school..cops hide in the bushes and you're going to get a ticket and mom and dad are going to take your car. David L is NOT a good idea..so stop that right now.

    Somehow I don't think you'll take any of this advice...because I know you.

    Love,
    28 year old Shannon

    Dear 16 year old me:

    Just because your parents say you can't go to any other college, it doesn't mean you can't put yourself through college. Do not accept limited expectations for yourself, work hard and make some phone calls, there are people out there who will help you - get yourself out to the west coast, because yes 14 years later you are STILL in love with him and yes! he will still love you. Stay away from Louisiana, it's nothing but trouble. Don't drink in Paris, (or Toledo or Madrid or Barcelona) because you will get caught! And start eating healthy now! It would be much easier to maintain a nice body than to try to get one later in life :D Oh yeah... biggest one of all... Don't worry about putting a label on yourself, be you, because you are AWESOME :)

    Eat less. Give up soda. Spend even more time with your cat — you'll miss her a lot when she's gone. Don't get so attached to people that they become your entire world, thinking so highly of them will only lead to you becoming more and more jaded with each succession of people leaving you. Love people but don't count on any one person 100%. Be nice, even to the people who hurt you.

    You know how your mother's been emotionally abusing you for years? Guess what - she's also a pedophile. She made tapes of you and raped her sister when she was 20 and her sister was 11. All that money she made selling her movie to Lifetime? Made it because she figured out how to watch child porn legally... and . In 3 years you're going to meet the scum of the earth and get pregnant, but it's okay because you'll find that having a daughter with autism is one of the most rewarding things you'll ever experience. Yep, the doctors were wrong... you're not sterile. In fact, you're going to meet the most amazing man in the world who will love you, your daughter and your future son like nothing else.

    Dear 16 year old me,

    Remember what you told your best friend months earlier, about how you still had feelings for him, but you realized you could never date him. Go back to that, dump him. He is smothering and abusive. Oh and the guy who seems like something you need who will come along? Run away. Because he wants you to be his mother, and you'll support him for over a year while he has his friends over and wrecks your things.

    Tell mom about the **** Randy is doing, because after you leave he'll do it to your brothers. She might not listen now, but she will later on, and maybe you can stop him. And stop questioning yourself, because your Grandmother is in fact spreading lies about you and hates your guts. Ignore her.

    Make sure to still go to Ihop a lot though at night. You'll marry your favorite server one day, he's the man of your dreams, I promise.

    Love, Shauna

    Dear me at 16:

    Stop spending so much time on the internet making "friends" in chat rooms.

    Don't believe any of the lies your mom is saying about your dad. Show your dad how much you love him. Go spend time with him.

    Your brother died, but you're going to be ok. You'll become a different person, and that's ok, too.

    No, you're not in love with him. Really.

    Yes, your mom IS abusive and it's NOT ok.
