What would you tell your 16 year old self?
Jump to: Newest in thread
No give a f. What others think.
Your nose isn't really that big.
Have a bit more confidence lad.
Get to uni after you finish sixth form.
Don't give up on your dreams.
Look after your money.
And get a trade. |

Get away from your family, get out of Birmingham, believe in yourself, go see Sonic Youth because they'll be the one band you'll be cursing having never seen |

I would.
Honey you're worth so much more than you know. Be strong, be brave. But be you. You're allowed to be you, and you're fine just as you are. It'll hurt along the way, a lot, you'll need to let your guard down to see both the highs and the lows. But you're stronger than you know. You've got this, promise. Things will be better than you ever dared imagine. |

I wouldn't have my kids if it wasnt for making a big mistake. Probably one of the things I would tell my 16 year old self to do would have been to get out of the relationship. |

In a year your world will fall apart and will be the start of a tough 6 years, but you’ll come through it, learn to laugh again and it shapes who you will become...... you will face more but that’s life and it will just make you stronger |

You’re worth so much more than what you’ll settle for. Don’t try to be everything for everyone, think of yourself too. Enjoy life for a while, go out and make friends, laugh more, and even though times wont be perfect don’t regret the decisions you’ll make, you have two beautiful children because of one of them- maybe delay the first child, until you’re less of a child yourself though
Life will make you stronger than you’ll ever believe possible, so don’t let yourself become cynical. You’ll get hurt, you’ll be betrayed, do things you regret, but it’s one hell of a journey, so embrace it and learn from it x
Oh, and get on here earlier and meet Inked sooner, haha x

Don't always sit on the sidelines. Be brave and see your worth. Don't let the shit that went on in your life up until 16 still affect you into your 40's. Live your life. |

I wouldn't go see my 16year old self and I definitely wouldn't talk to her, mainly because she wouldn't of listened anyway because she thought she knew best, but mostly because if you were to regret or change anything from your past you wouldn't be who you are today and the slightest change in your past could have a huge impact on the person you are and the person you are still becoming, and on a whole I'm a ok kinda person so why risk changing something when you could end up a horrible person |

"If you could go back and speak to yourself at 16, you have 1hr, what would you say?
Love yourself? Be braver?
Would you go back? "

Oh I’d tell myself to do plenty differently.
Do a levels - do an English degree - warn my mum about an upcoming accident at work which changed her life forever - warn my dad that the pains in his back (cancer) needed looking at before it was too late - and mention the names of one or two dickheads to avoid all together!  |

Id say...
1.You are not fat.
2.Join the army earlier instead of going in a factory.
3.Let the boys chase you instead of the other way around and use and abuse them lol |

Don't spend the next 15 years fighting what you are. And don't spend the 15 years after that hating yourself. It's actually ok and the people that matter will accept you |

That I'm braver and stronger that I give myself credit for. That I don't need to seek love from others, that I should go to learn to love myself first. Bisexuality actually exists, you're not just confused. |

Don’t cheat on the wife you love more than life it’s self just for the buzz of it because she really is the soul mate you will crave!!
Plus after 20 years of patience she will go from being ASEXUAL to being very naughty indeed.
Plus I may warn myself about the two ginger kids I’m going to father.!!!

I'd tell myself:
Tell someone what happened 5 years ago and deal with it now or you’ll be carrying it for the rest of your life.
Stop trying to please your family, you never will, no matter what you do.
Life isn’t fair, it’s not a level playing field, so put yourself first because no one else will.
Don’t submit to the bullies, fight back, fight hard and fight dirty if you have to, cuts and bruises heal faster than the emotional scars. |

I'd just say be more confident
I spent years worrying about my weight and that no one would fancy a chubby guy and I later found out it wasnt.my size putting people off it was my lack of confidence that all changed when I met a young woman way out my league who was a model we didnt last long but the confidence it gave me being with that fox changed me forever I was 22 when that happened and after that I found meeting people easy |

Never to push to hard to fart 
Honestly though....I’d tell myself not to take crap and if someone can’t treat you the way you treat them then to leave them be, people like that are not needed in my life, it’s a good life now |

Ask out that girl that you really liked, who made you laugh so much and don’t let being shy put you off, because in 2 years time you’ll spend the next twenty away from home.. |
