    Stop being so damn shy. Talk to guys, you are NOT ugly, nor are you fat!!

    Enjoy the days while they last, they don't last long. Keep up the good work, it is not all for nothing. You will be proud of yourself if you stay on the right path...... hey stupid you got off the path!

    Figure out your gender identity now and just get on hormones. P.S. Just stop drinking pop, you'd never have gotten fat

    There are so many things that I wish that I could tell my teenage self starting with

    You are NOT malnourished, you are just skinny. There is nothing wrong with being skinny.....although you may want to consult a doctor about finding you some curves!!! :laugh:

    Ben and Jerry's is NOT your friend, nor is Mayfield!!!

    Stop loaning your bicycle out to strangers! You really could go places using your own bike ya know!!!

    Stop letting your neighborhood friends use your basketball unless you are using it with them!

    A little exercise wont kill ya!

    I would tell my teenage self not to worry about what others think, to take the path I choose for me and not for others.

    I would say be yourself and think about having kids later in life. Then I would hug myself for doing a wonderful job of being a teenage mom and making it! Oh! And dont let ANYONE control you and tell you what you can and can't do.

    Try new sports- just because you are a girl it doesnt mean you cannot play soccer! Try more than one sport - you will meet real good friends playing sports instead of your "hang-out" buddies. Enjoy your body and all it can do - it will change! Stay thin - work out several times a week, eat healthy food and don't let food be your friend. The idiots you know - dump them - they are not going anywhere. Be OK to be by yourself until you find quality friends. Do not get married in your twenties!

    - That boy does NOT love you. It's OK to be alone. Your head will never be the same.
    - Don't let someone pressure you into that tattoo, even though its cute, you still regret it!
    -Smoking, drinking, and sleeping around does not make you cooler.
    - You are worth WAYYY more than how they made you feel, and its not your fault. Treasure yourself.
    - Respect your parents.

    The 5 things I wish I knew. My whole world would have been different.

    You have tons of potential, don't settle for a mediocre life. You don't need a boyfriend to have value, in fact no one you will meet in High School will affect the rest of your adult life. Develop your talents and interests and keep a passion for learning alive. As boring as school is, put in the effort to prove how smart you are. People respect achievement in this country. Find a mentor who is an expert in your field. The public education system may not be enough to have a marketable skill. And last, nothing is set in concrete, you can always redirect your path. Oh, and you know how you thought your mother was crazy and it made you so angry? Well, she was, so be a little kinder, she did her best.

    Go get your thyroid checked - that's why you're so exhausted all the time.
    You're actually fit right now, enjoy it.
    Beer is really fattening, don't drink it, no matter how cheap the draft beer is.

    your mother is a liar, don't believe everything she tells you about your father, your siblings, or your uncles. Don't let her blind you because when you are an adult and realize what she is, you won't have any of your family around.
