Happy Saturday morning!

Today's question is: [COLOR=#green]If you could send a short (say, 15-ish words) message to your teenage self, what would you say (optional why)?[/COLOR]

"You will have exactly one friend from high school. Relax, stop caring."

From early on, I was always looking for ways to have tons of "meaningless" friends. It was cool, stylish, trendy to be popular. I never gained the level of popularity of some of my school mates, so a lot of the times I was upset about that silly fact.

Once I moved to America, I had ONE friend left from home. One that I care to keep in touch with. A lot of people keep a few best friends from high school, but not me.

"Relax and enjoy yourself more. Don't worry about what other people think."

Only 15 words? I think I would need more!  

Protect your heart, make sure someone is worthy of you before giving your heart. 

Be nicer to your parents, they will always be there for you, & mom will be one of your best friends!

"She/he is not as perfect as you think they are" for similar reasons as Fhi09.

"Figure out what you really want to do before going to college." I went to college and hated it, switched programs and still hated it. I applied again a few years later but didn't end up going. I finally went back when I was 25, but ended up getting pregnant. I did graduate, but I have a diploma that I am not using now.

Initially I thought of asking for 3-5 words, but it felt more like a contest than a fun question. :lol3:

"You are intelligent, attractive, and a good person. You are worthy of good things."

As a teenager, my self-esteem sucked and led me to make many bad, often harmful, decisions. I can also empathize with Fhi09's post.
