    To stop thinking you're fat because you will only eat your feelings and actually become fat when you were actually ok in the first place.

    Don't start smoking and things are going to get WAY more difficult for you if you don't quit eating the way you're eating right now.

    Something along the lines of "You're awesome".

    Oh, and maybe: "Get a haircut. Now."

    You are unique and beautiful just the way you are. High school sucks, just get through it. Stick with your university studies, they're the most fun you'll have!! Don't be a perfectionist, you'll end up in the looney bin at 70 :) (Still heading that way ....) DON'T MARRY A "PROJECT", thinking you can change them, IT DOESN"T WORK.

    Hmm. I'd probably tell myself to start exercising and not stop EVER. The other part would be to tell myself to travel more as a younger person. Basically, try to go to one place every year...so you're not cramming it all in later on.

    Start exercising and eating well now. Also, wait a year and work towards buying a car and getting your license BEFORE college. Oh and major in something useful. Like, not in the liberal arts and sciences. You'll end up working in a warehouse because no one needs writers anymore. Oh and don't get an Okcupid account. It's for your own good.

    1 - "You're not fat"
    2- "Go to the doctors"

    1 - I was a size 10 (UK) just 2 years ago, and always thought I was fat.. :frown: I look back now, and honestly don't know how I used to think that! I'm now 20 and a size 16 - 18.

    2 - I've always been scared of the doctors haha... :ohwell: Found out the other day I could have Hypothyroidism, due to feeling incredibly sluggish and gaining weight for no reason, along with numerous other symptoms.

    are any teens reading this and getting anything from it? oh well...

    I'd say- DON'T DO BIRTH CONTROL (go ahead n smoke a little weed, but stay off the bc!)

    really, it will screw up your system and can wreck your fertility for later when you do want to have babies. PLus most of them are abortifacients and kill our babies which- at some point in your life- will probably weigh more heavily on you conscience than the fat does on your thighs! If you must have sex, be mature enough to deal with the results, but better yet- just wait and spend this time having fun at plenty of other things.

    there. i said it. go ahead and roll your eyes...

    I would say-

    Yes your dad's seriously ill, but you'll have another 12 years with him so get out there, live our life, laugh and do random stuff.

    You will go to Uni, and it will be great!

    Go do VSO, don't let anything stop you.

    Stand up to Mum.

    You've got great people to meet and great places to see. Hold your head up.

    By the way, no one will ever tell you this, but you look gorgeous, especially when you smile!

    "Thank God you were the naive kid growing up- you didn't get into any *kitten*"
    "Don't date in HS."
    "DO NOT room with the ultra conservative AoG b*tch in college. She'll start a witchhunt after her convertion plan fails."
    "Listen to your mom, she was right about everything."

    Just remember "happily ever after" does exist once you learn to love yourself.

    Your metabolism won’t even last into your 20’s. Stop eating so much ice cream.
