What Would You Tell Your 13 Year-Old Self?

[Ther]

I saw this thread on another forum, so I figured I'd post it here as well:

If you had 10 minutes to spend with your 13 year-old self, what would you tell him or her?

[Kai]

Probably set up a games console to see who was better at a certain game or something

i dunno give myself a giant wedgie?

no words of wisdom, i would not like to change anything about myself

[Letho]

I would tell myself the results of most major sports events so that the 13 year old me can make tons of money on betting. Then, if there was time, I'd give myself some advice, though knowing myself, I probably wouldn't take that advice. Oh, and I would definitely tell myself to talk to that one girl about how I felt about her instead of... well, not doing so, I guess.

[Breaker]

"Stop wondering what will happen and kiss her, dumbass."

"Work out every day."

"Buy stock in Blizzard right before world of warcraft comes out."

[Karuka]

I'd tell myself to pick friends more wisely, because the ones I picked were a headache all through high school.

I'd also say that I should work harder, avoid a particular class, and go to band lessons.

"That girl that asks you to the Valentine's Day dance this year, don't say yes then blow her off. You'll regret it and feel like crap even when you reach my age."

[Xos]

I would tell myself to spend as much time as I possibly could with my Uncle because I lost him last year in an accident. I would tell myself to argue less and listen more, to tell him how much I love him every day and when we were miles apart, to write and call him everyday, and treasure each and every hug he gave me. I thought he was going to be there forever, I honestly did. I was going to have him be my best man someday when I got married. He was my father, not by blood, but by everything else that matters. I miss him so much. The only hope I have, is that I'll be able to see him again, after I too eventually leave this world.

Never drive when your exausted and in unfamilier areas. He missed a stop sign he didn't know was there, obscured by a tree. a man in another Vehicle slammed into him having the right of way, he was killed instantly. No one else was hurt, and there was no major damage done to either vehicle.

I'm always going to wonder if he would've been proud of me. Its easy to say he would've, but would he, really?

[Moonlit Raven]

Mmmm, hard choice. I guess I would tell the younger me to go outside and play some time. Books are not people and not everyone you meet is mean and scary. Oh, and to stay away from boys!!!

[AdventWings]

Me?

"Listen to the Wind. They hold more wisdom than Humans dare know."

Oh, yeah. And...

"Think before you go shoot your mouth off, chatterbox."

[Serilliant]

Save yourself a lot of time and start dating boys.

[The Valkyrie]

Don't date Nathan, everyone will say you turned him gay even though he already is.

Don't go to MSU, you'll just drop out, and while there you'll meet the guy you'll get engaged to and break his heart - which changes him forever.

Don't sleep with Boomer. EVER.

[Jasmine]

"Don't give up orchestra or choir. It'll be the worst mistake ever to give one up."

"Don't go out with Frank or Devin. Neither are good choices, trust me."

"Trust yourself, trust God more, and don't worry about the small stuff."

[Skie and Avery]

"Tell Momma to get a second opinion on that whole headache/back pain issue. Make her find someone who will check for cancer."

"Dude, it took you ten years to get out of Purgatory. Don't ever go back. Nothing's changed."

"Don't fall asleep during your high school classes. I don't care how depressed you are, put some effort into it so you can go to college."

"Go ahead and go out with that Vollmer kid, but don't get too attached. He's fun and all, but a real jackass."

"Commence lesbianism with {namewitheldonthreatofdeath} as soon as possible. It'll be rough, she'll hit you a lot, but after about seven years of slow effort, you'll get in her pants."

[Nadia]

"Research that time-paradox thing... write the results down or something and make sure it lasts a while.. I wanna exploit this"

[Slayer of the Rot]

"Stop being retarded. Stop letting people buy your clothes, you look like a jackass. Don't go making fun of the seniors who are drinking and smoking, you're gonna do it eventually, and it's gonna kick ass. That Kristin girl? She's annoying as fuck, but her boyfriend Derek is going to be your best friend. Hang with him, then get him to dump her, she's only going to make him miserable and fake two pregnancies. Or three. No, stop eating that bullshit, and stop drinking soda; you'll be better off for it. Here's some CD's, listen to them and stop listening to the god damn radio. It all sucks. Also, stop drawing, your art sucks. Start writing, you do better there. One last thing, that Emily chick? She's gonna have the ass of a black chick, and she likes partying and is promiscuous. Have at it in three or four years. Oh! And stop fucking up on your school work, you're smarter than these fucking rejects. You don't need to get four E's at the beginning of every year and think it's funny."

[Falcon Darkflight]

"Nice hair. Firstly, listen to your english tutor, but don't hand in the coursework as the fucktard will lose it next week anyway and you'll have to do it again. Study hard at Maths, because otherwise you'll be shit at it later in life, and you are gonna train to be an accountant. Stop crying, asshole, it's true. Next, sleep with Sam. You will kick yourself for that one in years to come but it'll be worth the follow up. Make a character called Canen Darkflight, but give him good background. What did I miss? Oh yeah, don't bother reading Harry Potter, it's a waste of time. I know the ending. Read the Hunt for Red October."

[Kai]

well these put my post to shame

and after some careful consideration i will probably do this

"HERES WEDGIE" and hang myself up on something so i would not get away

"Ok kiddo, words of advice. Forget school, your going to be home tought anyway, here is a website i want you to look into when you get a pc, and use that to start practicing your grammer or something. oh yeah, Don't ever cut your hair, you will only start regretting it if you do and start growing it again, girls are toublesome, end of story. oh and god damn stop crying, that wedgie isn't that bad!!!"

...

"oh and practice sarcasm ... you will love every second of it"
