in Chit-Chat
?

mine would be: you will not have the fancy career you always thought you'd have, so you can have a little bit more fun in college and not take so many credits.

    Me too.. I was way too shy (still am a bit..)

    and I'd tell myself to PUT DOWN THE CAKE! no, seriously... I was a fatty and just ate whatever tasted good. :drinker:

    don't go out with that guy, he is a real douch.

    Actually try in highschool and the grandparents will pay and support you through college, even though they said they wouldn't.

    This. And also when you do finally get out there, don't do what you did at that party. :huh:

    I would tell her, "Life is going to be awesome, but it will be completely different than what you expected or planned."

    Also, learn calculus NOW.

    Boys aren't everything, just because you have a boyfriend doesn't mean you drop your friends. And don't do Tony's dare!!!

    And pay attention and actually do your homework.

    Keep going as you are because you have some good times ahead of you, some difficult but they will make you one strong lady...

    oh and invest in a couple of shares in apple, and stick a bet on that man utd will beat liverpool's record of 18 premiership wins in the next 10 years. :)

    Not much I loved being 16, and I was married at 19 (and we're still married 10 years later ;P)

    I would probably tell myself to learn how to properly exercise so that when I was out of school and not on a regular sports team that I would know how to handle that. Lame answer huh?

    "You know if you actually study you'll get A's. You shouldn't settle for C's and B's... Oh and I know you want to either go to uni or join the army... Uni was a waste of your time!!! And get on the treadmill you lazy thing."

    Don't worry about what others think of you, just love yourself!

    Self respect is important
    learn to love yourself first
    dont do things just to please others
    take a step back and look at how you act and try to understand how you're going to feel about it later
    pay attention in class and see how easily those grades come
    dont short change yourself and take the easy ways out
    put down the tub of ice cream and learn how to exercise and eat properly NOW rather than struggling to fix your bad habits LATER!

    yes. and also, those popular girls who look down their noses at you are only popular because they put out. and it shows years down the line when they're run down.
