1. don't try to drown (give a bath to) your first pet 2. don't be such a weird little freak in school 3. don't devote your early teenage life to neopets/habbo hotel 4. don't buy world of warcraft 5. don't get in to an "omg true love guiz" internet relationship 6. when you do eventually get to university don't avoid the place and hide in your dorm room

My only major regret right now is that I didn't enlist in the Navy right out of high school. I could've been in for almost 15 years by this point and only five years from the point where I could "retire" with full benefits and go to work in the private sector far better off than I am right now (also probably would've found that pesky cancer sooner and had it taken care of without going into a shitload of debt to pay for it).

Even though it would have been incredibly painful stick with the program your in, even though it's not fun things would run a lot faster for you afterwards and you'll never have to see those horrible people again. Stay the gently caress away from that creepy rear end man, he's a pervert! Don't talk, don't look don't even breathe near him because he will hurt you when he gets the chance. Start learning to drive now! Don't wait until your 21! Brace yourself... your going to be hurt for a little while it wont be nice but from it you'll get something even more amazing! Get off your rear end and go travelling, don't wait till you have someone to go with you because they won't have the same passion as you for it. Don't feel like an idiot for wanting careers in different areas your going to get into several things that you like. Even though you might find out that it's not what you want to do you'll land on your feet into another big interest.

Go to class and apply yourself. Also dont smoke the weed. Dont jerk off quite so much. If a girl is talking to you it doesnt mean she is weird but it also doesnt mean she wants have sex, there is middle ground! You do these few things and your future job could be a bit better.

Don't move in with Toby when you're 18, yes I know living with the parents is kind of a drag, but you'll end up paying the whole of the rent and bills yourself and the debt you amass will hang over you for the next 3 years. Don't let Marve and Widget get hold of your works pager, it's not only connected to the rest of the guys in the company, it's connected to several high ranking police types from various counties who won't appreciate messages like "chowder chowder, oi oi oi" at 3 in the morning. In a similar vein, don't start seeing Sam from the Earl, she will repeatedly cheat on you while you're working in Scunthorpe, and the resulting rage on hearing this will cause you to be arrested, charged, and lose the best job you'll ever have. Sure the whole pulling dead bodies out of rivers thing will get a bit much at times, but you get to drive awesome boats, quads, and giant 6 wheeled Austrian military trucks! Speaking of which, you'll have to recover a 14 year old girl who jumped into the river with a backpack full of rocks... Mentally prepare yourself, that ones gonna cut you up a bit. Save your money and go to Australia, she's been nuts about you since you met at 16, and she's still nuts about you 12 years later, stop being such a gimp, you won't find anything better in Kettering. Be nicer to mum, I know it seems like she's getting on at you, but the poo poo she goes through for you would break most people. Don't ever try to open a coconut with a meat cleaver, you WILL lose a finger.

Don't start drinking regularly. Don't be a huge dick to her after that awkward first date; she's super awesome and super into you and you really hosed that one up. Don't start with the loving Adderall, it really fucks with your personality. Get a job while you still have momentum. John Fütbol posted:- Don't get fat.

Start looking for a good job before you get out of college. In fact, start before you even go to college. It's theoretically possible to live in the DC area on 22k a year, but you'll end up being a joyless hermit because that's all you can afford.

You're actually right; things will work out fine. Drop the ponytail, though - you look way better without it. Oh, and embrace the gay, you might as well try to have some sex while you're young and fit instead of waiting until you're really really sure at 26. That guy on the dating site you think looks too aloof is actually great, and will go on a date with you if you just ask instead of waiting a year to talk to him.

Tell your parents about being transgender as soon as you realize it, they'll completely understand and do everything possible to help you. Save more money instead of spending it on so many video games/DVDs/etc. Keep playing the piano and writing... actually, stick with arts & music in general. Don't switch to math/sciences, it'll only seem easier cause the homework & tests take no effort in high school. You'll end up hating it, wasting 6 years, and still want to go back to art.

Women are neither prizes nor trophies. They're people. Stop trying to get one and start getting to know them. Accept the fact that you kinda like cock. Mom and Dad are wrong about a lot of things. Put some effort into loving, respecting, and trusting yourself. I know you love Tom Baker. I do too. But seriously give Peter Davison a chance. You won't regret it. George Lucas is planning to write and direct three Star Wars prequels. Do not get your hopes up. Don't worry, though. There's an awesome Batman trilogy on the horizon. You will never stop collecting action figures. Keep your G.I. Joes. Stop being so judgmental. Stop taking everything so goddamn personally. Don't major in education. It'll only upset you and destroy your GPA. No one minds if you smoke pot and curse like a sailor. It actually makes life easier. No, really. Simon & Garfunkel are great, although you're a bit young to fully appreciate them. Still, though, you really should listen to more David Bowie. It turns out you really like Garbage. Also, you're not really interested in God's forgiveness. You just want your own. Still aren't getting it, though.

I'd tell my younger self he has Tourette's, go to docs and tell them what it is cos gently caress, they were clueless. Wear a condom! Don't flunk college and go to university. Do not treat an ex-girlfriend like poo poo. Don't drink, you can handle. Do not install Eve Online, those are years you'll never get back. Don't drink cola and lose some weight. Think that sums up the key points I'd tell myself.

It's okay to like what you like, those other kids are just total assholes. Learn to stand up for yourself and tell those bullies to get lost. Just be you, and wear those Bugs Bunny shirts and listen to Weird Al proudly. You shouldn't let anyone make you feel like a terrible person because you aren't exactly like them, and you need to speak up when they torment you. If you show some backbone, they might lay off. Talk to people more. Learn not to be so shy, maybe you'll make more friends sooner. Believe it or not, you'll grow up to be a people person and even work in the public service for a while. Do your homework and class work and then you can take all the classes you want instead of having to repeat the ones you hated. You're smart, you just need to not be goddamn lazy. Stop being so obsessed with finding a boyfriend. You watch too many fanciful true love movies and there are other things to life! As annoying as you might find it, everyone on the planet is actually right when they tell you that it'll happen when it's time and not before. The one you're going to meet later on is with the wait. Just enjoy being single until he shows up. Learn not to suck with money. Please save lots while you're still living at home!

Don't be a dick. Don't make fun of people, almost everyone you disliked in Middle/High School turned out to be carrying some heavy loads. Wearing a trenchcoat to school after Columbine isn't edgy and cool. It's awful and stupid. Don't be an immature dick to girls you like/dating. It does not make you joe cool. It makes you an immature dick. Seriously, count to 10 before opening your mouth to say something "witty", usually you'll realize it's either mean or dickish. Punch yourself in the dick to remember this. REMEMBER THIS!

Sweet merciful crap! Don't go crawling back to Kaylie. Four times! What the gently caress!? You broke it off with her you jackass. She doesn't respect you and only uses you for rides and cash. The occasional gently caress you got out of it is so not worth the rest of the poo poo and her lovely friends. Also go to loving sleep! 4 hours of sleep a day does not equal A's in your classes! Join a team and stick with it! Also talk to a councillor about your depression. Later you'll be diagnosed with SAD but some uppers would be great during the winter months. Also don't fight the toughest kid in school with 4 hours of sleep. That just leads to you almost loosing your tooth completely. Be glad they were able to save it and cement it in place. Also still go to Lethbridge and meet the girl who will change your life and some amazing people. Visit Dad more, maybe he wouldn't have been so lonely near the end. Don't be such a loving creep either. Anime isn't the poo poo you self entitled douchebag. It isn't normal or funny to sing j-pop songs in class either. At least we grew out of that phase.

I would tell my 18 year old self to take the cozy management job at the call center I was working at. This political science degree is loving worthless! But then I probably wouldn't have become a moderately successful street artist and met my future wife. So it's probably for the best.

Study harder. Don't do an arts degree. Stay the gently caress away from fandom. Get cosmetic surgery sooner. You will look awesome. Oh yeah, also, people at school will hate you so much that they will do horrible poo poo to you and you will be afraid of your own shadow for years. Try and find a way to avoid that.
