    Don't be in a rush to grow up so fast! Enjoy and smell the roses. Going to be 39yo this year and look back at life as a series of moments. Enjoy those moments!

    Don't date that guy. Or that one. OR THAT ONE. And, don't be so hard on yourself; it'll make life simpler.

    Don't settle down so young - give yourself a chance to find out who you are as a person.

    This.

    I think i would rather focus on the here and now and get going with matters at hand than look back through the lens of regret. Can't change the past but we can build the future..

    Other than "Get off your fat *kitten*"? Do what makes you happy. Don't do things just because your parents want you to be someone you're not. And go to the doctor to get diagnosed with depression sooner rather than later - it might have made the last few years a lot easier knowing what was wrong and doing something about it.

    You are worthy, you are important, you matter and don't let anyone tell you different.



    That's something I am going to tell my children everyday of their lives.

    Don't waste time drinking.

    Trust the one you love.

    Life is not fair.

    Don't worry or beat yourself up.

    Invest time in the ones that matter - forget the ones that don't.

    Be yourself.

    Never, ever give up!

    There will come a time when you will need to choose between what you have been taught is right and what you know in yourself is right. Choose wisely.

    You don't need all those shoes, or designer handbags. Seriously - SAVE!
    Surround yourself with loving supportive people instead of those others
    You are worth it, always.

    Don't worry about school stuff. Being popular isn't everything.
    Going through hard stuff like your mam just leaving at 11 will make you stronger and you and your dad will have such a amazing bond and you two will make it :smile:
    You will become great friends with your mam as you get older. Don't be too hard on her.
    Lose weight now yes your not that big but it will damage your confidence teens through to late 20's.
    You are going to grow up and travel,meet the most amazing guy & have a dream career.
    So yeah don't worry.
    Oh and good idea on not dating jerks your friends will waste so much time crying over them but you are smarter than that lol.
    And yes you will be happy really happy.

    Run from that first marriage, you're both too young

    Don't start smoking

    Follow your dream, don't get waylaid by marriage, mortgage, etc and wait till you're 40 to do it

    I would tell myself that I should not be so worried about getting back on my feet before starting school up again, took a two year break after a divorce.....BAD I wish I would have just stuck with school and maybe then I'd not be so far behind....:S
