  • Advice to Your 15 Year Old Self

    Imagine you could go back in time and give advice to yourself when you were only 15 years old.

  • I would just tell my 15 year old self not to stress out so much.

  • Jog already.

  • Don’t listen to your parents. take up Humanities/Art/Literature, not Engineering. It’s really not about the money. You live for aesthetic arrest. Seriously. 

  • Take the antidepressants.

  • That would be going into the future for me.

  • That’s my age right now. I wrote some advice to myself a while back.

  • Don’t have sex with that guy when you turn 18, he’ll ruin your life.

  • do your math homework. it doesnt matter that you ace every test, if you dont turn it in, you’ll screw up your gpa =__=

  • Fuck the other girls in the locker room.  Make out with her like you just don’t care.

  • @boilingicicle - I can relate to this hahaha but I am trying to use my engineering degree towards my own goals in a way…..

  • “stop being stupid.”

  • Your parents really know what they’re talking about.

  • Trust Jesus now. And don’t think Jesus is not real based on the actions of those who claim to be Christians.

    @Queen_of_You188 - Giving yourself future advice could be interesting too!

  • 15-YEAR-OLD JOJO: Whoa! My adult self, here from the future! What helpful, hindsight advice do you have for me?

    32-YEAR-OLD JOJO: Come with me if you want to live.

    15-YEAR-OLD JOJO: …

    32-YEAR-OLD JOJO: Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

    15-YEAR-OLD JOJO: So I get more irritating with age. Good to know. Thanks.

  • those drugs ARE good for u, and dnt do weed plz it will mess with u xox

  • @SoapAndShampoo - oh my god u made my day :) xox

  • @MagisterTom - would be weird. ._.

    @SoapAndShampoo - THERE’S NO EFFING WAY YOU’RE 32.

  • I don’t hate on you Dan for taking a trip down memory lane but as for me, I find it pointless to go on this exercise since going back to talk to my 15 year old self is impossible.

  • Forgive them. It’s not worth the grudge.

  • @Queen_of_You188 - Why not? How old did you think I was?

  • Don’t have sex with him!

  • Invest heavily in Apple. When it gets above $200 a share, sell it. Then buy Google stock with the profit. When that gets above $400 a share, sell it. Invest your new fortune conservatively, kick off for a couple years after college and enjoy doing nothing.

  • 1. Get into body building; you’ll like it.
    2. Check out the Vlogbrothers.
    3. For goodness sakes, get a girl.

    Oh and here are the plans on how to build a time machine, don’t show them to anyone and don’t build it until you’re 22. Trust me, it’ll make sense.

  • Try not to be so hard on yourself. Your beautiful the way you are. Your talented give your self credit for something.

  • Do your homework, have fun with friends and don’t worry about anything else, it just stresses you out pointlessly.

  • bitch has crabs.

  • Tell Dad you love him.  He’s not going to be around much longer. 

  • “DON’T FRICKEN PROCRASTINATE AND SCREW UP YOUR GPA”
    *bitchslap*

    and then i’d hug younger me :]

  • @carolinavenger - While you’re back there can you give that advice to my 15 year old self too? Thanks!

  • don’t make your username “thingsyoudontknowaboutme.” i mean, really, what does that even mean?

  • Drink more water

  • most guys suck

  • Don’t wait ’til college to start working out!

  • Run

  • Don’t be so uptight and do things to only please others.

    Don’t judge others or burn bridges.

  • stop being idiot and childish (:

  • Do your homework, stop holding grudges, stop taking shit so seriously, and learn to be patient. Everything will work out in the end, you just need to wait it out.

  • don’t purge.

  • I wouldn’t. It’s too risky, it could cause a paradox and rip a hole in the space/time continuum!

    Anyway, if there were a safe way to do it, I would probably say: “Hang in there. Things may be tough right now, but it’ll get better.”

  • listen to your fucking head, you asshole…  esp in your 20′s.  it’ll save you a lot of heartache.

  • ahhh the memories of the past. it’s been a long two years since then.

    /sarcasm

    naw but i would just tell myself to not screw up when it came to school. and take homework more seriously. and maybe crack open a book once in a while? jeez, it wouldn’t kill me.

  • Don’t believe everything you read on The TheologiansCafe.

  • use more lube

  • I would tell her that in the end it was not a big of deal and that HORMONES does mess up your head. 

  • Stay in school and don’t do drugs.  Ah, who am I kidding, drop out of school and do all the drugs you want!  All you get from graduating college is chronic unemployment and student loans.

  • if he seems like a manwhore, he most likely is one. don’t trust him.

  • I’d tell myself to not date my first bf.

  • Stay the fuck away from him and California.

  • Be a man and do the right thing!

  • Run away from home immediately. 

  • Use more tongue and less teeth.

  • make better friends

  • Stop being a fucking idiot. You should know by now that the more time you spend looking at and reaching for the stars only gives Life a bigger opportunity to squat over your face and PISS. IN. YOUR. EYE.

    Aim low. Lower. LOWER THAN THAT.

    Fuck your goals, aim SO LOW that you’re treading mud.

    :D

  • Stop being so dupid and join some clubs already.

  • Stop stressing over this. Stop obsessing over that. Don’t be afraid to drop a couple activities – you’ll probably be happier for it. And for goodness sake, do some crunches! Oh, and try out for a musical – you’ll regret it if you don’t. And, for the record, AP classes aren’t just for people trying to show off to everyone – it’ll make your freshman year of college easier!

  • Not to get into a relationship just because someone liked me. I would probably have a more fulfilling relationship now.

  • don’t be afraid to switch to propane earlier in life.

  • Don’t sit at that table.

  • Dear me,

    You’re a smart girl.  You’re going to make all of the right choices…until you’re 26 anyway.  Then I know as much as you.  You’re going to turn out all right…and remember to have faith!
    Love,Me.

  • The day before your 16th birthday grab your little brother and run like hell.  Never look back.

  • Don’t believe you’re ugly like they said you were. Also, he’s not that cute anyway. 

  • I’d tell myself not to get pressured into having sex and to go out more.

    Also, to at least do my homework. 

  • he’s not worth it, and neither is your friendship. let him go.

    I did do that a year later, but it would have been nicer if it was a year earlier.

  • There will be this thing called the internet, it’s kinda like those BBS things you’re playing with now… yeah, don’t waste too much time on it… Andy is not as innocent as he is pretending to be, watch your back… Wow, there is a lot of stuff actually that I would tell my 15 year old self. I almost wrote an entire post here and then deleted most of it…

  • Don’t waste your heart on a high school boy.

  • Don’t wait to get help for your eating disorder do it now or it will interfere with college… You are so much stronger than you think you are.

  • Don’t be ashamed of the green and keep on painting!!! If you like something, stick with it because 5 years from now it will be in fashion :) Turn of the TV and the Radio!

  • Life is Good.

  • Get out of the house more.  Take a year or two off before college.  Join Toastmasters when you turn 18.  Read more.  Give up video games.  Ask your pastor for books on Greek and Hebrew.  Put more effort into Spanish.  Put more effort into math; you WILL use it whether you want to or not.  Eat sensibly.

  • Stop being so serious and enjoy being a kid since adult life is a lot tougher.

  • You don’t know as much as you think you do. Try not to be so judgmental. Don’t listen to what other people say about you.

  • I don’t know, because what I want to say would change my life so drastically. Who knows where I would’ve ended up? If I now met a fifteen-year-old in the same situation I was in back then, I would tell them, “Call the police and get out of there. You deserve to be safe.” But I can’t imagine where I would be now if I had taken that advice back then. 

    I would also tell myself that “Your internet friends are going to be some of your best. Hold on to them. But when you’re seventeen… -he- is not your friend. Don’t let him visit you, don’t date him, don’t even speak to him. He will hurt you, and emotionally screw you up just as bad if not worse than the others ever did.”

    ^That’s really my only true regret in life.

  • you wont get her, stop trying. it will screw you up down the road. you will forget yourself thinking you might get her, and it will seem like a good trade. it isn’t.

  • Be true to yourself, Baby.  You’re bright, you’re funny, you’re strong and you’re WORTHWHILE! Your body is a temple, let no one in who does not know how to worship it with their every waking breath.  Please don’t settle, and don’t you dare let the life you’ve led thusfar be your gold seal standard.  Reach for the stars!  You are loved!  (thanks Dan!)

  • @WithTheBirdIShare - {hugs!}

  • Hold out on sex. It wont make them want you the way you want them.
    && DO GOOD IN SCHOOL! So you can go to a 4yr college and get away, instead of dropping out of a C.C. “/

  • Don’t let them get to you. Live for yourself and nobody else.

  • Take athe chance and follow my interests

  • To be more outgoing and not as shy and to stop repressing my past abuse…or that I had been abused and to warn myself of the ensuing PTSD….to tell about it sooner and get help sooner. Never to abuse medications or get involved with an ED and to rely on those who loved me more.

  • really think about college, play golf, and get rid of the boys…. they get you in trouble. dont always put urself down.

  • can we go back further than that?

  • Dont worry about the future just live in the present

  • work hard in school, dont be so angry all the time and think more about long term solutions.  fuck around more.

  • Pay attention in school and stop sleeping through classes. School is way more important than you realize. 

  • Stop focusing on those twins, that you have had a crush on for 5 years they are not worth it.
    Try harder in school.
    That boy that your friends keep on dissing is actually the coolest guy you’ve ever met. you don’t know it yet but he becomes your first love so stop listening to them.  :)

  • Stay a virgin.

  • Keep jogging. Don’t give it up.

  • let go of her, before she rips your heart out and uses it to dye his carpet red.

  • Realize that life is more than just drama and stress. Highschool is only 4 years, you’ll make it to be an adult just fine. Be more outgoing and don’t hold back.

  • The first thing I would tell myself is “all those people who make fun of you for how you dress and what music you like–they listen to Loverboy and Journey. They have terrible taste in music, clothes, and everything else. Do you really care what they think of you?”. The next thing would be “you know that most music in 1985 sucks–resist the temptation to buy into it. There were only about 2 great records that year. Make sure you buy them.” 

  • stay the fuck away from women

  • 1. You’re only dating him because he treats you like a guy.

    2. Stop being such a wimp.

  • She doesn’t love you – let go now. Life will get better, but the change will need to be within you.

  • I would tell my 15 year old self…..”Dog collars are for dogs”

  • Travel like a wild woman during college breaks.  Once you graduate and start having kids it’s hard to do.

  • Bad shit is about to come your way. Save three years of your life; don’t let it get to you and don’t fall for that guy’s bullcrap.

  • dont be antisocial  dont make everyone scarred of you be nice and have fun be friendly nd live your frickinnn llife!!

    im sooooo social now and it feels great!!

  • Don’t waste your time wishing to be older, ’cause it’s basically shit!

    Oh and…

    Don’t worry, school wont last forever.

  • don’t have sex with your friends brother, don’t cheat on derek, and DO NOT date alex.  stay single, enjoy life and quit fighting with mom, you will end up losing her after you turn 18…..

  • Dont put up with a cheater, and dont be so sensitve. enjoy school and dont skip as much

  • Don’t take boys so seriously.

  • “Take more karate. You will literally have to fight them off!!!”

  • Nothing really. Honestly, I regret a lot of things..but I believe there was a reason for what I went through. 

  • -Have fun, stop worrying so much it won’t take you anywhere, don’t listen to your parents THAT much, you could’ve had better times.

  • It isn’t all that bad. You will live.:) Don’t be so dramatic. 

  • Vote the first time you can.
    Don’t date, no one is worth losing your sanity and trust in the world over.

  • Should of went out with her and ruin her life. 

  • “Life isn’t all  that grand. You’re still gonna be the same, like you are now and later.” >.<

  • Enjoy your friends here now because you’re leaving soon, and those people will not be that chummy.

    College will be so much better than high school; those friends are life friends.

    Avoid student loans like the plague.

    You will get married eventually (not to who you think), but watch yourself–don’t let the good times with him distract you from what’s most important.

  • http://manufan420.xanga.com/723799683/a-letter-to-my-past-self/

  • Don’t believe him when he says he wants to be with you. And even if you do, for the love of god, don’t believe him the next time he says it.

  • Don’t wait.

  • study more. talk to people more. you know that girl you like? go say hi.. if she rejects you that’s okay! you’ll get more self confidence in the end.. in 2 years you’ll get a girlfriend that lasts for 3 years anyways. just go for it. stop playing games at night and try studying for 1 hour only..

    2. Stop eating so much sugar. You’ll lose the weight

    3. Don’t wait for things, do them yourself.

  • It’s funny you mention age 15 because that is the age I was when I first became bulimic. I wish I could have simply told myself you can eat 1200 and still maintain that 105 frame. 200 is too low. Would have saved me a lifetime of misery and heartache. Or I could have just said “bulimia is a trap” and left it at that.

  • To get in debate as soon as possible, get summer jobs, graduate 2 years early (I could have easily), and go to college in culinary arts with a minor in business.

  • Learn the difference between not carrying what people think and feeling like you have to prove you don’t care.  The guy you’re interested in right now is not worth the bother at all.  He’s just an attention whore in the end.  Find some friends outside of your school.  Maybe then you won’t feel so out of place. Explore other belief systems and don’t think you HAVE to believe the same thing as your parents.  And don’t worry.  You will get a bit more shapely when you’re older.

    Oh…and just to shock the hell out of you…you’re going to convert to a different religion that involves nude rituals.  You’re going to be onstage singing about sex (and a lot of other things, too.)  You’re going to try weed and a couple of hallucinogenic drugs someday.  You’ll attend a few shamanic ceremonies.  In short, you’re going to have a great time and you won’t regret any of it when the time comes…but once you hit 20 or 21 you won’t be the little miss innocent you’re so proud of being now. 

    Wow…makes me wonder what 45-year-old me would have to say to 27-year-old me!

    @SoapAndShampoo - LMAO!!!

  • I am in the same position i was when i was 15. damnit. 

  • 1. Get help for your eating disorder, stop trying to control everything yourself.

    2. Let loose and stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

    3. Boys really aren’t worth it yet

  • Be yourself 

  • I’d tell myself not to break my “Don’t Date Your Friends” rule, because dating him ruined me and sent me down a rough path that I’m just now recovering from. I’d also tell myself to read some Richard Dawkins books and to stop waisting my time believe in a god that doesn’t exist. I’d probably get myself on birth control too, lol…

  • Don’t you dare let her our of your sight, she’ll become the most important thing you’ve ever known, talk to her, right now.
    See that dusty camera you haven’t touched because you’re scared? Start working harder. You have a long road ahead when you don’t.
    Respect your father, it’s your mother who is ruining you.

    Take your own advice.

    You have three good friends, one you don’t really know yet, the other two you have always known.
    You are loved, you are cared for, don’t take that for granted.

    Mail a letter to your grandfather.
    Go to your other grandfather, let him go.

  • @spaceb0und - so tell us what you would say to prevent that.

  • That boy that gives you your first kiss & takes you to Homecoming? He’s not the one, so when you break up, don’t hold on and wait for 4 years. You’ll find yourself completely lost by sophomore year of college when he decides to get married. That boy that strikes up a conversation with you in Chemistry and shows you his tattoos? He’s a nice guy, albeit rough around the edges, and you will fall…HARD. But be prepared for him to break your heart & make you cry. But don’t avoid the relationship. No regrets, remember? You’ll learn so much about life and love from him, and he will be the one that makes you appreciate the guys that come your way in the future. All those times you wanted to learn piano and guitar? DO IT.  Maybe then all those dreams you had could actually come true. No matter what your parents want, DON’T let them pull you out of voice lessons before your senior year. That extra year might be what it takes to get you into a music school. But its still okay if you go to community college on that scholarship first. You meet some of your best friends in the world there. And it’s okay. Even if you don’t make the music program, you’ll still be okay. Psychology isn’t so bad. Neither is English. There are other dreams out there for you to follow, if you just open up your eyes. Music can be your passion, but its not the end all or be all of your life. There’s more for you; you’re good at more than music. But even after all this, you still want to move to Nashville and sing; DO IT. Don’t be afraid like I was. I love my life, but I’ll spend forever wondering ‘what if?’ If you do it different, then at least you’ll know for sure.

  • I would tell myself, now and then.

    Don’t get so caught up in boys, they aren’t worth it. Do great in school. Stop fucking up. Be happy, try to be happy. Stop letting people control you. You’re amazing.

  • Just hang on, it’ll all make sense later. Promise.

  • When you hear about World of Warcraft in several years dont spend a penny on it. Save all the money you can.

  • Love all, trust a few do, wrong to none :)
    Also, good things DO come to those who wait.

  • Well by 15 I was about to become a drug addict or already was one depending on when you are talking about. I guess I would say “brace yourself”. I guess it would be a little more productive to say “don’t do drugs, stop cutting, stop drinking, and actually do your school work and stop ditching class” but I don’t regret anything I did. I learned from all the horrible shit that happened when I was younger.

  • Don’t leave R for J.
    R really did love you.
    J effed up 9 years of your life.

  • doing drugs is not cool, and neither is starving to death. breakup with that loser. wash your damn hair. brush your teeth. show some respect to your parents. get your head out of your ass and go to school. apply to university. ditch your lame friends. study. get a job. make something of yourself. and dont quit ballet!

  • Do better in school. Dont be hungover while taking the SAT’s and study!

  • Focus more on school and less on boys. He will try to lure you in with his words and his persistence. Treat him like the shit on your shoes. I know you won’t understand now but it’s important you focus more on your studies. Remember that little boy that spoke his mind and wasn’t afraid to try new things? I want you to find him again. Don’t be afraid to try new things because you are afraid of what other peoples’ perceptions of you will be. Live for yourself and not for anyone else. Lastly, don’t drift away from mom. She’s always gonna love you no matter who you are. Trust me.

  • Take advantage of life.
    Be more active/social in school.
    Promise to keep in touch with the friends you’ve met online.
    Don’t wait until October of your senior year to figure out your plans for college.

    Change your Xanga username. You’re not as naive as you were when you were in elementary school.
    @ThingsYouDontKnowAboutMe - I’m sure mine’s worse. :P

  • I could write a whole post about this. I think I might.

  • Hmm. Join the military straight out of high school, and don’t get over involved in relationships. 

  • Lamesauce! You totally borrowed this idea. The vlogbrothers of youtube did it before you.

  • Put your ALL into your school work, you really CAN go places, it is possible!! Don’t party so much, and for good sakes don’t get pregnant. Lessons learned; too late.

  • Get out, Get help now.

  • It was only four years ago, but I would tell myself not to worry. I would tell my 15-year-old self that the things I was dealing with back then weren’t actually that important, and they ended up not mattering anyways. I would tell myself to stay focused on school, continue to do what I love and follow my instincts. Everything was going to be okay. Ne panique pas. 

  • Don’t date Sergio. He’ll hurt you for years.

  • appreciate the little things he does, because he wont be around much longer.  

  • Dont be so afraid to be in a relationship.

    Get some friends.Seriously.

  • I would say: “you are on the right track! and there is NOTHING wrong with you. just because you don’t have the capacity to “be in love” like all the other teens

    (because they were all in love with their bf’s and gf’s)

    doesn’t make you weird, crazy, or cold hearted!”

    …but of couse I did think something was wrong with me lol I almost had the perfect teenage life. not being exposed to relationships lol

  • Freaking talk to somebody at school.  I know you’re shy, I know you’re intimidated by literally everyone, but you aren’t as lame as you think.  Just get it there!  Striking up a conversation isn’t that hard.  You actually can make conversation.  That ability is buried somewhere in there. 

    Don’t let your friend Anna get you down.  Anna is actually clinically depressed and has an eating disorder.  I mean, she’s always treated you like dirt, but it’s going to get even worse now.  Don’t worry.  She isn’t any better than you.  You’ll realize what a pathetic person she is soon enough.  It isn’t you that’s pathetic.  Don’t dump her now, but don’t let her get you down.  

    Oh, and Nich?  Yeah, he isn’t even cute.  You’ll realize later that he looks like a particularly ugly girl, and you’re basically a lesbian for even liking him in the first place.  But fine, pine over him for months.  You’ll get over it, and it’s really funny when you panic a few years because you see him unexpectedly and run screaming (literally) out of the room.  Ahh, those are some good times.  
    Don’t worry.  You’re mom will come around.  I know you’re not sure whether to do college or missionary school first, but I also know that you really, really want to pick missionary school.  It’s all right.  You’ll choose missionary school and end up in Northern Ireland.  (I know you want to go to Scotland, but Northern Ireland is better, I promise.) 

  • Don’t date him! Don’t waste your time on him! You’re already iffy about it, and he’s just going to destroy the next two years of your life..

  • Haha, I’m sixteen… but I guess my advice to myself would be “Study harder for your finals, you’re gonna fail if you decide to relax instead of learn Algebra II” -__-

  • Well, I’d do a few things.

    For one, I’d get rid of the writing.  That way, I wouldn’t have internalized all those years.  I’ve learned that people do that when they are balancing out stress thoughts.  I didn’t know that, so I did it and ignored everything else because effort was pointless.

    I would have told myself to pay attention.

    Then, that was the year that I got rid of the LD.  I never needed it, but it needed me.  I’d keep it now, and I would have gone to a University with it and cheated.  That way, I could keep working and be independent for those years taht I needed to.  It’s easier to be inferior and that would have saved me having to compete with my age group.  It’s easier to get away if you have a group supporting you.  I would have been inline with, um, the gay people.  I attract inferior, good people.  It’s not life helpful, but it’s confusing enough. 

    I might take an entire year off before going to school and save up, but that would have been risky because I was sending money back home and the social people start coming.     

  • I’m 15 now, haha. 
    BUT, I guess advice earlier in the year would be 
    “You can’t use drugs to get what you want. Don’t try it, You’ll end up going to rehab and your life will suck balls after that because your mom will never trust you.”

    >.<

  • tell your parents what that teacher did to you, don’t wait until you are in your 20′s.

    and STOP smoking dope!

  • To quote a phrase that’s been heard a lot lately: “It gets better.” You’ll leave all those stupid bullies and bitches behind soon and never look back. :)  

  • Don’t stress. Everything will be okay in the end.

    If only my 20 year old self could listen to this too…

  • ugh don’t fall in love… it sucks.. then again, it’s really nice… hmm if you go ahead and fall in love, just don’t forget what that means, even when times are tough. 

  • i am fifteen. should i come back when i’m sixteen? 0_o

  • It gets a lot worse. Good thing you fail at suicide attempt. Have fun being pregnant 5 more times and going to rehab 8 more times!

  • Don’t be emo, wait until the real world comes and you worry about your water being cut off and having food to eat. Oh yeah, and don’t go out with that guy at 17. Also, don’t bust your ass in high school, you’ll lose your scholarship your freshman year in college and the government is very corrupt.

  • @becks_chaos - so true lol

  • Stop being so selfish and save yourself from years of remorse over the way you acted.

  • @adrieell - don’t feel bad. everyone I know failed algebra 2. I never saw it again either…just algebra 1…

  • Spend more time with your best friend and don’t worry about what those other girls say. You don’t want to look back and realize just how much you’ve missed and the people you’ve lost along the way.

  • id tell her how rare she is… and although i never understood the expression ‘never lose that spark’… i understand it now, and id tell her to not lose that spark.. never give up on yourself and get the respect and treatment (and many other things) you deserve. but stay how you are, because i honestly think my 15 year old self was radically beautiful, and if i was someone else, i would’ve loved to meet her.

    id also tell her how amazing she is, and how good shes doing and id tell her to not get involved in any crowd or people that make you feel bad (or lower/not your passionate self) or lose your instincts… and to keep my dreams held high as an anchor, because we’ve always known that sometimes all we have is ourselves and hope

    but id especially tell her to follow her gut, because its always right… even if logic defies and people question what you view as ‘good’ or a bad situation, they dont matter… its your life, and in the end your instinct and obedience to it.. or trying to ‘make it work’ or override it… completely shows the situation…. we always know, always always listen to it. and dont accept gifts that are too kind, in any form, it’ll backfire 

  • Get your butt out there and play a sport. If not a sport, at least walk for 30 minutes a day. Myspace isn’t going anywhere… at least not right this second. So go!

    You know, I would have taken it. If I knew I was going to go up 5 pant sizes, you bet your sweet butt I would be out there doing something physical, and I would have kept up with it too.

  • I’d tell my adorable little two-year old self to not let the world bother you. And to always be yourself, because no one else can be you like you <3 And. Never stop playing, otherwise you’ll get fat.

    Sigh.

  • dont skive, dont join em’ illegal societies and maybe one day with your grades you can get into oxbridge just like your classmates will. 

  • ~Join the art club.

  • I would say “OMG PULL THE TRIGGER!!!!!!!”"”"”

  • smoking crack is actually pretty unacceptable in the real world. and use some damn condoms.

  • @verucagirl - Aw, thank you! Really, I needed that. =) {hugs back!}

  • Use a condom. Get on birth control. Don’t hurt him, and try to do whatever you can to keep him because you love him.

  • Don’t go watch the jazz band rehearsals in the basement of Smith Music Hall during music camp.  You will never get over him.

  • Don’t drink that. 

  • be nice to this girl. marry her.

  • It doesn’t matter what people in high school think of you. You’ll never see any of them again. Be who you want to be and do what you like to do.

    When you go to college, don’t get student loans. You’ll still be paying them when you’re 40.

  • @crim077 - ditto.

  • 1. Go to therapy.
    2. Be open to medications.
    3. NO RYANS.  This is not negotiable.

  • Seriously, no credit cards.
