I'm interested to see how many people would tell themselves to do something, and how many not to do something!

For me

Stay away from that young one!

Excellent idea. Kudos to the OP!

Mine would be "be big"!

Libby029

I would send my 14 year old self a text saying "Don't even think of putting that cigerette in your mouth" 16 years later still trying to give up them bloody things!!!

Jay P

If this was to me a month ago:
"She likes you, fukcin go for it"

A year ago:
"Do physics, not economics"

Two years ago:
"Don't write that blog you retard"

Bofore that:
"Do music instead of woodwork!"

Damn Vaporware

Raze_them_all

she already cheated on you and will leave ya for someone else in 15 months.

Wazdakka

It's a little worrying how so many ppl want to let themselves know to either use a condom, leave the person, or go for the person...


It's a little more worrying that at different stages I agree with all of them..

hindsight is always 20 20 ...

"Follow the white rabbit"

That or "Dump that dirty skank".

"you'll never have ur cake and eat it, but get thru this bad ****,ull xperience more happiness than u know is possible"

Take an airline off an old man, charge people 3p to travel on it and then charge a tenner to buy a glass of water !

cHaTbOx

I could make you rich here but I am going to make you learn something,you'll f**k up many times but who doesn't and stop being so shy

tman

"Go for the hot one, not the one you get on better with!"
"Don't be an asshat, you will NOT be able to manage an MMORPG addiction!"

Either one would have got me more sex:o

the drifter

dont send the text you sent like 4 seconds ago...man im an idiot:(

That wasn't apple juice....

stovelid

Limit yourself to a cranberry juice after the match on Friday 26 September 2008. Do not drink beer. Or shorts. Especially not shorts.

anonymous_joe

Just because she loves you doesn't mean she's not about to fúck it all up. Stop that now.

I'd also text myself the names of contemporary bands that weren't cool a few months ago so I'd appear ahead of the game and ludicrously cool. :P

That and the results of sports matches to bet on them.

tony1kenobi

Get a new GP for nan...that Shipman is dodgy.

pip'n'chin

Dont let yourself be introduced to the punk

genericgoon

TIME PARADOX!

Riddle101

This is a text form the future so bare with me.

Stop f**cking around and being lazy, get out there now, your friends are more important and you need to be with them before it's too late. Also work harder during your leaving cert unless you want to repeat like i did and iron your RDF uniform always and don't doubt it for a second.

Love Your future self

wylo

"cut your hair, start playing sports again, stop being a nerd and dont bother with college, do a trade" and most importantly "stop obsessing about her, she will cheat on you when yer finished she will get with your friends"

teenage love !!!
I'm quite bitter eh?:o

Handsome Bob

I would have sent a text to myself in 03/04, telling me to urge my godmother to get a second opinion on her chronic leg and back pains.

Agamemnon

"Save the cheerleader but bollocks to saving the world, just keep her for yourself."

and

"Always, ALWAYS go for looks because you are a piss-poor judge of women's personalities."

dlofnep

Interesting thread.

Forgetting the obvious choices that will make you financially richer - lotto/sporting results etc..

I'd like to answer this question in 10 years time, and see how my career has gone. If it has gone ****, then advise other route

Zaph

If I can aim it for a specific time and date, then one for 3am on 24/9/06 - There's a corkscrew in the kitchen drawer.

Would have prevented me from looking elsewhere for the damn thing and having a fall that I still haven't fully recovered from.

Micky Dolenz

" do not drink out of bottles that aren't labelled"

Overheal

Yeah but who is going to believe a text message sent from the future? You need to be like me and privately agree with yourself on a secret authorization code that will make you consider the authenticity. For example, mine is purplemonkeydishwasher.

"Don't kick that gangster in the balls - he's actually just a poorly dressed teachers aide and he'll press charges! purplemonkeydishwasher"

jane86

Don't let your parents persuade you to go to that secondary school!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

"Run, Forrest, Run"

Al_Fernz

Take off that "livestong" band - it makes you look like a tosser.

Ross_Mahon

"Ross! Study like a mad thing, And for the love of god...Do not fail maths!" :mad:

Al_Fernz

Justin Timberlake is actually cool.....seriously

CathyMoran

I would say to myself, dont mess Shane around, marry him and have lots of his babies! I regret not marrying him sooner and wish that we could have had kids when we were young.

Galvasean

"I'm coming back in time to kill you and take your place. There is not a thing in the world you can do about it!"

"just shift her you fool" to my 11 year old self that didn't have a mobile.

ejmaztec

When you wander into a gaybar by mistake don't bend over to pick up that 10 Euro note by the bar.

See Ye

"It'll be ok". Good text to receive at any time I reckon. Would put the little stuff into perspective and the let you know you get through the big stuff.

azezil

Take the blue pill!

Ha ha, what a good idea!
Yeah, I think it'd be "Don't sleep with your Supervisor!"

JangoFett

Yeah, totally

Apparently I didn't build a good rapport!

Terry

To my 12 year old self: "Yes, you will get addicted to cigarettes and they are really tough to quit".
I'd follow it up with "By the way, it's 1987. What are you doing with a mobile phone that recieves texts?"

A txt, you say?

"Lol u r such a nerdz. Go ot more n do smnthing w ur life."

Man, I died a little inside

Probably something like, "send this message to five of your friends"
