    Theres this craze going around Twitter now.. "Tweet your 16 year old self". Everyone is tweeting advice they would give to their 16 year old selves had they known it back then.

    So I'm interested to know, if you could go back in time and meet your 16 year old self, what advice would you give him/her that you know now?

    I said it the last three times this thread was opened on boards:

    Buy gold.

    I'd punch him in the face. Not that I did anything wrong but I think that'd be the best way for me to learn just how unfair life really is.

    Ah it was on AH before? S***e. Ah well... I thought I was being original. Still interested to know though, saving me going through all the threads trying to find the old one (s) !

    Treat girls like you don't give a ****... for some reason makes them want you more...

    Go get your ears checked.
    Now.
    And get them checked every year from now on.
    This advice will save you a lot of pain.


    Also, the 6 foot tall american burnette with the 24inch waist and 38DD rack who seems too good to be true, yeah, well, she's fu*king crazy, stay away from her.

    Try ""Tweet your 60 year old self".

    Then come back in 44 years and let us know what you thought of your 16 yr old self

    Keep investing by buying the Cyril the Squirrel stamps at the post office (actually think I might still have them!). :cool:

    Don't let the bullying bastards chase you out of school. Don't spend every bit of money you make from the FAS course on Tupac and NWA CDs because you'll grow out of listening to rap in four years time. And most importantly appreciate your father because he won't be there forever.

    Slow down....

    Don't listen to Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. They are seriously crap.
    But stick with Metallica, Rory Gallagher and Faith No More.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

    That's some strange advice, most of the vegetarian/vegan girls I know are thin as rakes.

    But I suppose whether meat-eater or vegetarian, if you eat sh1t all day you'll become fat!

    But it will get you kicked off public transport.

    I'd tell myself no, you're right, you are better than most people. Rock on bro.

    Use sunscreen ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭tupac10


    1. Spent more time with Family.. you'll miss them when there gone.
    2. Actually go into school and study to get a decent leaving so your not stuck in a low paid boring job while all your friends are away enjoying college life.

    At 16 you are too young to fall in love. Dont stop following your dreams because of a girl and don't analyse things too much. JFDI.

    Dont go to college.

    Get a trade.

    I had a thought the other day, I cant think of one remotely accurate piece of life advice my mother ever gave me. All of it to a T was crap, and if I followed it I would be a college graduate on the dole with no future.

    Luckily I ignored 95% of her advice at the time :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 709 ✭✭✭ClutchIt


    Don't smoke weed

    Be who you are, the approval of others is not required!

    Punch the biggest of the idiots bullying you in front of everyone, you'll be surprised at how unfazed you'll be about the hiding you'll get and at how tame it'll be in reality. Every bully is terrified of someone who doesn't fear them.

    Also send your £3000 car savings to a chap called Mark in the US in 2003 when your 19 in return for ANY percentage of his new venture you can get.
