    People are jerks; don't worry what they think of you.

    Don't be so shy around boys...

    ETA: Stop obsessing about your weight.

    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!

    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!

    Stay away from men! Keep your head and mind straight and go to medical school. There will be time for men and babies later in life, I promise!!

    Don't listen to your *kitten* of a boyfriend and get a job...continue at college and go to uni like you'd wanted. He's only gonna be around for another 6 months!

    I'd tell myself that I WASN'T FAT, despite what I thought, and prove it by comparing high school me to current me.

    It's not so much what I'd say, but just if I could make my teenage self believe - "It gets better." :)

    "Jump on those weights Mom and Dad have in the garage. Don't let them get rid of that weight set. Get yourself a weight lifting magazine at the store and find a program. Eat lots of meat."

    "Stop whining about having gym class every day!" I didn't realize how important it was until I got into college and the weight kept piling on.

    1. Stop starving yourself and hating your body. Confront your dad about his emotional abuse about your looks, weight, and achievement.

    2. Do what makes you happy. Find people that make you happy. Forget about the rest.

    3. Stop worrying about finding real friends and a bf....college is coming, and those things come with it.

    The cool kids don't have it all together either - and it sucks to peak in high school, anyway.

    "In a few years, this kid is going to show up on youtube named Justin Bieber. What's youtube, you ask? It's a website where people can upload videos onto the internet, and then they can get famous. He is boy version of Britney Spears. Jared, you can NOT let him upload that video."
    EPIC WIN!

    I would tell myself.
    "Push yourself harder in wrestling, you are capable of so much more. Don't worry about him, he's not worth the time. You won't be where you thought you were going to be but your future is SO much more better than you ever could of dreamed of. It gets better I promise"
