    NEVER pay attention to medical people who say "It's going to be your normal....learn to live with it." Keep fighting until you find your diagnosis.

    To DO more things and talk myself out of less things.

    To TRUST my instincts more.

    To be more understanding of the men in my life...and remember they are growing and learning just as I was.

    Follow your gut instincts. They've been right EVERY time. Don't give toxic people any power. You can do what makes YOU happy and you'll still be a good person. <3

    (It's too bad we have to learn these lessons the hard way. It would be so much easier just to have it all pre-programmed in...But I guess challenges teach us gratitude, so it's all good.)

    Never look back … you can't change whist already happened. Trust your instincts they usually end up being right in the end & stay single .. its much easier

    Wear sunscreen.

    More seriously:

    Nothing that happens in high school matters, go for it, if you *kitten* up it won't matter in 2 years, if you succeed you'll remember for a lifetime.

    I know you think you want to go into IT as a career, you don't. I don't know what you SHOULD pick, but skip that.

    Amen! You NEVER give up! You keep fighting! There is always someone out there who can and will help you, you just have to keep fighting.

    As for me, I would tell myself that when I went into labor, and they refused to call Dr. Hinton, fight. Fight hard. Rip the I.V out of your arm if you have to, and tear those bands off of your stomach. Raise so much hell that he IS called, and not 12 hours after you've been in labor, before that needle is put in your back. Don't let them do it. It's not going to work. They're going to try 7 different times, and bruise your back severely for nothing. You will be neglected. The things you will go through are unimaginable. Push to get your doctor there. Get that I.V back in your arm and go to sleep. Have a c-section. Be able to remember your child's first year of life. Don't live in terror of ever becoming pregnant again.

    OMG I would have to give myself a lecture, but the best piece of advice would be 'don't settle for second best in anything or anyone ever'... That would probably have made my life turn out very differently!

    Also no crash dieting and get fit NOW!!
