Advice for your 16 year old self

Carl Sagan

Yeah there is something wrong with you. Go get it checked out now
Use the internet a bit less. Running a lot isn't a good idea. Two years later, it'll be pretty sore to even walk to the shop.

The most important one though: Do those things that you want to do, not what you think you should do.

Failing that, she will grow up with a brain just like you, very smart and very very lazy. She'll drive you nuts :mad:

I Love Cheese

Have a laugh. Don't overthink things. Blow your nose before the incident at the beach. You wont be able to drink that much vodka.
Actually try in 5th year.

Ditch Tanya, she's a total muppet. Stop being so serious. That IS your Dad coming up the stairs. Stop mitching off school. Stop eat crisps...they will all go to your hips once you hit 25

Twee.

The braces will be worth it, stop complaining!

Red Hand

Get out of home as soon as you can. Go to a university, travel, work in different cities, stop being so introverted and talk to people more. Don't dismiss things cause you think you are mature and know better.

knird evol

As I have done, develop time travel for yourself. Then think of some
advice for your ten year old self. Go back and give it to him.

Leftyflip

Don't kiss your best friend, she will fúck you up:(

up for anything

It's perfectly normal and not one bit embarrassing to ask where the Ladies is in a pub rather than sitting there for three hours and 6 bottles of Carlsberg Special with a blind date in absolute agony. That sort of carry on is why you can't skip any more.

Move out and get a proper degree! And don't hide who you really are. And don't buy a car cause you'll get fat!

Someone you never would have expected will die at a young age in 2010. The thought will never have crossed your mind, even though the C word has been bandied about for a year or two now. So look around you. See all those people you always complain about - your family, the people you love and who love you most in this world? They are irreplaceable, so treat them that way. Appreciate every last minute you have with them. Sometime's they'll drive you bat-shít crazy but you drive them crazy too and they still put up with your crap. Learn to be a patient person, and don't be selfish. You have been given much on a golden platter, so make the most of it.

Also, don't eat so much and pick up running. You'll be glad of it.

The Agogo

There are good and bad times. Nothing I can tell you will ever make that fact go away.

Tesco Massacre

Haven't you people seen the films? If you go back in time and meet yourself then everything goes all wonky.

Your arm would probably start disintegrating...so **** would be out of the question forever! Think about it!

You are a smart, worthy human being.
Don't listen to those bullies. You are in no way worthless.
Please don't skip meals. Please don't think you are fat. Don't make yourself sick after spending all your wages (that you worked your ass off for) on binge food.
Trust me on this one; lying on a hospital bed being fed by a tube on the wall is no life at all.

ibFoxer

Talk him out of going to South America.
Learn to f**kin drive ASAP. When you do, leave the BMW where it is.

This is handy advice for a 17 year old but knowing me I'll not listen anyway

The biggest thing people seem to want is to invest in a later successful company, hmmm maybe I should with a few newly established ones!

Do it!
About 12 years ago, I asked a friend of mine who has made some VERY smart stock decisions what emerging technology would be worth investing in. He said VOIP, and that's pretty much as far as it went. If I was one who was given to regret, I'd be regretting the hell out of not taking his advice.

CarMuppet

Just relax and enjoy life...... don't worry about stupid stuff.....

Redr

Mind your back and learn how to pick up heavy stuff properly.

Mind your hearing - listening to loud music on your walkman (fado, fado) will ruin it.

Tennis elbow is the pits- alternate what you're doing.

Vinta81

Don't wear that skirt

Don't leave it forever to learn how to drive. When you do you'll wonder how you managed without it.
Yeah Dad may do your head in right now, and ye may fall out over silly things but he's going to be the best in the world to you at some of the worst times in your life. And one day he will be gone and believe me, that hurts like nothing else ever has:(
