    don't listen to your parents. no, seriously. don't.

    move (even though they disagree)
    go to college (even though they disagree)
    and don't get married (even though they disagree)

    Like Beach said, I dont really want to change anything because then I wouldnt have my babies. But.... for the sake of the question....

    Learn to eat healthy now. You wont always play sports to burn it off and fat catches up FAST.
    Stop acting like youre grown. You arent even close and life gets REAL real fast. Enjoy being young.
    Stop caring what your friends think so much.
    Stop sneaking out.
    And.... as is the theme.... dont marry that dude.

    echoing most the posts...don't date that guy, don't date that guy, don't date that one or that one lol Ok date that one but leave once you find out your pregnant lol he won't change once she's born. Don't wait to file the child support papers or set up legal custody guidelines

    Mom really isn't trying to ruin your life...she actually knows what she's talking about

    Stop trying to grow up so fast....you'll have the rest of your life to be a responsible adult

    Don't break hearts just b/c you can

    Love yourself, workout, eat right, go to therapy, finish college right after high school b/c life gets away from ya before you know it.

    Drinking isn't all that great...

    Dont date her, she is just using you for sex!

    She doesn't care that you want to be a race car driver.

    Your opinion does matter... speak up.

    Take more pictures, journal everything... your loved ones won't be here forever.

    Still marry him... even if it doesn't work out, you loved hard.

    Pray more.

    Finish college without taking a break.

    Exercise!

    Your persistance and dedication will pay off... keep pushing... never give up.

    Hmm, I wouldn't tell her anything. Being fat made me a good person along with undesirable so no guy regrets here. :laugh:

    I'd tell myself, "you know nothing about life, even though you think you do, oh, and by the way, in another 25 years, you still won't know anything, so get used to it"...LOL.

    On a serious note, I'd tell myself to get my nutrition and exercise habits cleaned up and to stick with them so I wouldn't have had to struggle with my weight and bad habits in my 30's!

    When you go to college, stay there until you're done, sell blood and eggs if you have to, but STAY IN SCHOOL b/c you won't go back and you will regret it.

    Sobriety is totally worth it. So call your f'ing sponsor and go to meetings!! stop d**king around with it. and go to the gym b/c that sh!it is messing up your metabolism.

    finish your book. and then finish another one. don't stop b/c you think they're not good enough. they are.

    YOU WERE FREAKING HOT---GO FOR IT ALL.

    feel like i need to clarify a little---when i was 16 i was very shy and thought i wasnt pretty---let alone skinny. everyone wanted me to go out for cheerleader/ homecoming princess/ etc/ guys even wanted to date me but i wouldnt do any of it. i found a pic of my sister and who i thought at the time was my daughter---at the lake---then realized kelsi has never worn a one piece bathing suit----IT WAS ME. DAMN I WAS FINE--just wish i had felt that way about myself then--- :)

    Start getting healthy NOW!! It's easier to lose 50 lbs overall now, than wait until you're 26 and have to lose over 200. =P

    Make your Dad eat and do things healthier as well and stress less....it might turn his path away from finding Cancer in 5 years and passing away from it. =(

    Embrace your interest in Photography, now...not in 6 years.

    Don't go get a tattoo

    Go to church with Dad....you'll be happier you did for so so so many reasons later. :)
