Believe in yourself. You are destined to do something wonderful with your life.
Don't stop exercising! Stay fit!
You're going to get your heart broken, and it'll feel like the worst day of your life, but you WILL get over it and be the better off for it.
Appreciate your grandparents. They won't be here forever.
Cut the people hurting you out of your life. You deserve better.
Remember that life is about being happy, and you will get there someday in the not-too-distant future.0 -
Whatever you do... do NOT apply for administrative jobs... you'll be stuck in paperwork hell forever! Oh... and take on the student loan debt. It will totally be worth it.0
-
Work hard, appreciate what you have, and don't wish away your youth. And don't be so hard on yourself!0
-
Id say---> Girl have some self respect and watch what you eat!!! you're going to get up to 200 by age 20 lol
I'd also tell me to stay in track n field as long as i can0 -
Take control now! Don't wait, things will only get worse!0
-
Go hug your dad and tell him you love him. Trust me, you'll be happy you did.
Enjoy your freedom. You've got the rest of your life to be grown up.
Don't take your friends for granted. They've been with you through the good and bad. Don't lose touch when life leads you down different paths.0 -

This is to my 17 yr old self:
Gym class isn't social hour -- no, really....it isn't lol :laugh: ( I would literally dress out for gym... stretch and sit down to talk. Luckily, my gym teacher didn't take that out on me since I was a senior and had more than enough credits to graduate, but wanted to enjoy being a kid for a while longer)
You are fine just the way you are... you are NOT fat...
When you are 24 the most amazing little boy will be born & change your life
I could go on forever lol..0 -
Stop bloody eating woman!0

I would tell myself to *not* go to the expensive private school that sucked which I failed out of due to anxiety and depression. I would tell myself, go straight to community college, then enlist in the Air Force. Oh, and don't screw up your relationship by sleeping with someone else.
Ugh.0 -
"That friend you're going to dump? Dump the other one too, you'll do it in 2 years anyway. Don't accept the first doctor you find in the yellowpages, for the love of God find someone who won't feed you 90 different pills all for the wrong diagnosis. Call your dad and tell him everything you need to say, he'll die in December and you'll lose your chance at closure. Know you'll graduate anyway so don't get mad about having to finish school from home. Take better care of yourself. And don't friend those old friends on Facebook, you just end up being stupid about it anyway."0

Finish college.
Pass on Sheri.
Save your money.
Take care of your body.
Love yourself.
Follow THAT dream.0 -
Study Physics. Start Lifting now. Dont quit Rugby. Go travelling with your mates0
-
-
- Pick a college major worth a damn!
- Start running!
- Spend some more time with your dad; he won't be here that long.0 -
Relax... it seems like the world is ending right now but I swear to you you will survive this and it will be wonderful....0
-
Get on a bicycle and ride it... ...a lot. Keep lifting weights, but don't try to go all extreme. Oh, and take care of your body. If you make it to 40, all of those injuries are going to pile up and HURT.0
-
Don't drop out of college, don't smoke so much pot, don't spend so much time at the clubs, start working out now. And most important don't settle, you're worth more!0
-
I'd tell myself to slow down. Learn to like who you are. don't rush into relationships. Get the most of your education. find what you really want to do and do it, don't do it because you feel obligated to do it. have some fun, let loose a little. Enjoy the next few years of your life doing what you'd like to do.0
-
don't worry, keep dating her,let her know you love her everyday, everything will work out fine.0

Dear Self-
Don't listen to Dad, you ARE worth being loved. You are not fat at 107lbs and good girl for not doing what he wanted you to when you made that life changing "mistake". Stop trying to make him proud of you, it isn't going to happen. Love yourself and don't regret the mistakes you make because they make you the stronger person you become. Just let it go!0 -
Hmmmmm..... Do not hook up with the girl from Canada, change your college major NOW, Join the Military, Invest in tech. stocks, and when you get married DO NOT eat Ice Cream everyday for the whole first year of marriage,0
-
I would tell myself - You're really smart when it comes to school and your career will be great so don't change anything there... but don't be so hard on yourself in relationships. It's ok to expect someone to do things for you. It's ok to ask for help and support. It's ok to demand what you want. Most important - Don't be afraid to not be in a relationship because you're a great person so you'll never truly be alone.0
-
Study something you love at University, not what you think will get you a good job.
If you think you're too young to get married, you probably are.
Don't rush through life. It's not a race.0 -
Love yourself: in 12 years you will wish you were here again.0
-
do better in school and don't worry you'll meet ur guy in 3 short years0
-
Stop being such a d!ck!0
-
"Stop eating so much, stop eating fast food and get off your *kitten* you bonehead! I love you!"0
-
with 100% honesty ...
everything i did/experienced made me who i am today. and as fucking hokey as it sounds, i wouldn't want to be anyone different.
maybe "your best friend? spend more time with him, he dies young."0 -
I'd say Run far away from that boy you think you love and need to save from himself.
Quit smoking.
Embrace your friends.0
