What do you wish you could tell your teenage self?

I'd tell her to put down all that food, and start exercising and eating right... before she becomes her father.0

That I wasn't as fat as I thought I was (God I wish I could go back to my teenage weight!) and to be more social!0

Don't take out any student loans.
It doesn't matter what you get a degree in, you won't find a job with it.
Tell Doug no. You'll know when.0 -
I would say: Don't listen to your parents, maybe they mean no harm, but they have absolutly no plan! They are selfish and you are not comming EVER somewhere in the first three spots of importancy! Make yourselfe number one priority, cause they won't do it!
Sad but true!0 -
I'd tell her to do the hardest thing ever and stand up to her mother and the rest of her family... and GO FOR IT! Seriously not a day goes by that I don't regret allowing my mother and family (based on religion) to talk me into pursuing a 2 year degree instead of taking full advantage of my full ride scholarships. Now I am saddled with thousands in student loans when I could have gotten out of there scott free.
Yeah nothing to do with weight loss.... or well maybe it does. If I hadn't been shoved down the two year path, I wouldn't have gotten so heavily into horses, and never would have messed my back up the way I did, possibly could have avoided two back surgeries, 6 months of being bed ridden, and a whole host of other heartbreaks. Who knows.0 -
Stick with the Martial Arts, stop eating the junk food, and stay on the path you have chosen.0

Major in business, not communications.0

I'd like to go back and hug the teenage me.
Me too.0 -
I would say wait until a few years from now and then you'll actually be able to call yourself fat.... 00 is not fat at all.0

You know that thing you hate? For gods sake fix it early, don't wait another ten years!0

People are jerks; don't worry what they think of you.
Don't be so shy around boys...
ETA: Stop obsessing about your weight.0 -
I would tell myself: "you are smart, you are kind, you are beautiful, and I love you". Because I was smart, kind and beautiful but destroyed my youth by constantly thinking the opposite and then acting accordingly. Love, support, and encouragement from parents is so important; when we are denied that there is a big hole inside that can't be filled. However, now at almost 40 my life is improving all the time!0

I would say you don't have to settle for a cheater because you think you are worthless. You become so much more than stupid like he told you that you are....you'll only be married to him for 3 years so why not just drop him now and find the one you are meant for. This one will lift you up and in 30 years you will still be happy and married. What a life you will have!0

"PULL OUT!!!!!"0

Okay so I'm assuming I tell my teenage self this at the right time...
"Do not give it up on prom night, seriously! Not worth it"0 -
Buy Google and Apple stock.0

"You're going to Oklahoma after high school. Stay there! DO NOT come back to Missouri. You will be miserable the rest of your life!!"0

She lied , she's NOT on the pill!0

Don't ever make decisions based on a boy0
