Nod.E Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 If you could have a conversation with the you at the age of 16 what you would tell/advise your younger self. Obviously this applies to members over the age of 16.
Daggers Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 How long have I got? Save money. Buy property. Work harder Be nicer and (no matter how it ends) you should always keep in touch with your friends Stop hanging around Emma Douglas in the hope that she'll **** you - she won't. Go have fun with girls who will and don't waste two years of your life Don't worry about being good at what you do, you are good and the confidence in yourself is the only thing that's lacking Don't buy a train ticket or a match ticket for Cheltenham in 2008 as you won't be able to go (having spent the last 25 bleeding hours puking or on the toilet) Stop writing godawful poetry about unrequited love Stop forcing the poetry on people during impromtu performances in stair wells Do not buy that Bucks Fizz single - it is not a post-modern symbol of irony One degree is enough and you ought to go into teaching, the Army or the Police Don't buy a Vauxhall Victor Be nice to Suzanne's mother, she's going to die Have kids earlier... It continues. This isn't regrets though, that's the final thing - never regret your choices. Cherish them and recognise the individuality they lend. Oh, and on the 26th of August 2008 buy the softest, most expensive damn toilet roll in the supermarket so your arse will not become a bleeding home to all things painful.
Phube Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 You can tell 16 year olds anything... they wont listen even to an older self... it's what they do! Oh and Daggers... get well soon...
Asha Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 Should I just take on board everyone elses 'regrets?'
Tabou Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 Buy really tight condoms. They will make you last longer, and you will feel less inadequate as you wont 'finish' in 3 minutes flat.
Phube Posted 30 August 2008 Posted 30 August 2008 The lottery numbers Have you EVER watched Back to the Future: Part II!!?

Bellend Sebastian Posted 31 August 2008 Posted 31 August 2008 When the bird from your course that you really fancy comes round your house unexpectedly and casually asks if you're going to the ball, don't say 'no, I don't like shit like that'. If you do, try not to spend the rest of your life regretting it, even though YOU WILL NEVER MEET ANYONE AS NICE EVER AGAIN That and to start playing guitar earlier
syston_fox Posted 31 August 2008 Posted 31 August 2008 When you really fancy a girl, don't go out with her best friend just because the opportunity is there.... school boy error that!
LeeCovFox Posted 31 August 2008 Posted 31 August 2008 Let people make their own choices, and their own mistakes. No matter how much you care about somebody, you cannot protect them from everything, especially their own stupidity. People, people who are close to you as well as anybody else, will do things which you hate, that will make you cry, that will make you feel utterly disgusted. Its down to them to learn from this. Don't judge them, don't say I told you so. Advise, not dictate.
hebangsthedrums Posted 31 August 2008 Posted 31 August 2008 Slut around more, and when you go to uni don't get a girlfriend for 2 years of it. Arse around a bit more at school, when you look back you'll realise its not that important... BUT do some work for A levels - you cant piss them like GCSE's Learn to play a musical instrument. Don't stop playing football at weekends in a couple of years - its really hard to start again. Don't bother buying loads of CD's, you'll only think most are shit in a few years, and download what you don't anyway Go to more fancy dress parties, and never turn down a house party invite through laziness, they're a lot less frequent when your older (after uni)

If I could have one, utterly selfish wish granted, it would be that I could go back to school knowing all that I know now. I hated school, and I was nervous of things which age teaches you to laugh off. If only I could do it all again now!
vjbapu Posted 31 August 2008 Posted 31 August 2008 Dont eat more than you need to Dont go McDonalds An Indian Curry diet is the worst diet
