Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

To the teenage me:
1) If you have to dumb yourself down for that lad, you shouldn't be with him. Get out early and be yourself.
2) Don't be so trusting, if you suspect they are betraying you, they usually are.
3) Stop trying to make people into who you want them to be, instead try pointing all that negative self-analysis outward at them: see? They are just horrible people. You're grand.
4) you're not as fat as you think you are. Wear those clothes, you'll miss it when you're too old for them

I'd probably go back to my 12-13 year old self, but I am only 19 so
- Tell your parents exactly how you feel, no matter how hard it is, they're good people and they can help you.
- Don't worry so much about boys, you do meet someone absolutely amazing
- Take up some hobbies damnit! Don't worry about how you'll be seen!
- Don't be afraid to put what you actually want on the CAO, not what's expected of you.
- Try not to stress, even though it's in your genes :P

Such a cool idea for a thread.
- That girl you think you've been friends with since primary school thinks she's better than you. Ditch her fast. And ditch that other one faster.
- Watch what you're eating, get more exercise or you'll end up hating your body.
- Study harder for the Leaving, put UCD on your CAO.
- Your friend is going to need some help but don't go down that same road as her, it'll affect you for a long time.
- Stop being so bloody shy. Talk to people. They're not going to judge you and think you're an idiot for talking.
- Stand up to that lecturer
- Stand up to mam, don't let her bully you into not having a social life in college. You'll regret it and you'll make no friends.
- There's more to college life than study, have a bit of fun.
- You are going to meet someone, you'll fall for him so fast and he'll change your life. He'll love you and you'll love him like you never thought possible. But please have more confidence, he'll hate when you put yourself down.0 -
-no ones looking at you and sneering, no one's judging you, people don't instantly dislike you when you meet them. Honestly it's all paranoia & anxiety and when you realise this you are going to be well miffed with yourself for the time you spent so upset over nothing
- you know the way you look at people going off travelling by themselves and get jealous? Eh, you realise you're not tethered here by your leg? You can do that too
- It's ok to have an opinion on things. You aren't stupid & you aren't automatically wrong when someone else thinks differently. Don't be a gossip because you're too shy to have a conversation about anything apart from people you know, it will bite you in the arse
- You will lose weight You don't have an underactive thyroid, you're not ''naturally fat", you can drop the lard. But, sorry, you can't ever go back to the old biweekly pizza-and-chip dinner routine. And, you sort of have to exercise at least 5 times a week. Sorry about that! 0 -
To 16 year old me:
- Be brave.
You know you need to leave, so don't stay one minute longer. (I stayed for another year :mad: !!!!)
-Nobody is allowed to hurt you. No matter who they are.
- Asking for help isn't a bad thing. If you need it, ask.
- People aren't psychic.
- Your mam isn't that evil b*tch that you think she is! In 3 years time she's gonna be your best friend 0 -

1) You're gay. Like REALLY gay. Tell the folks, they seriously don't care.
2) Go on more holidays with your Mum. She's not going to be around to see you hit 30.
3) Don't give up on your sport once you hit college. Trust me, you'll regret it.
4) Stop beating yourself up for not being spontaneous. You like things in a certain way and that's ok. Give yourself a break.
5) Fancying the teacher is NOT a good enough reason to choose your college course. :rolleyes: Put down social work, social policy, or something like that. It'll stand to you better.
6) That New Years of 2004, when you really want to kiss her at the door? Kiss her. It works out great in the end. Yes, she actually fancies you. 0 -
it's funny, things I've regretted in the past I no longer regret...I appear to have come full circle on some things!
It's quite a common one but I would tell my younger self that you are not fat, and I would tell my today self the same...why are we so quick to judge ourselves!
I would tell myself to go to a counsellor sooner, it helped, immensely.
Thats about it. Not much regrets tbh, onwards and upwards 0 -

Have to say, I don't count anything I've posted here as a regret, anything I've done in my life to counts as a learning curve, one I'll be on till I die. At times obviously there would have been easier ways of doing things.
Just wanted to put this in as I personally think regret is big time wasting, negative hole.0 -

To my 16 year old self:
- Try to push through the pain of the bad stuff, you need to focus for the LC. If you can't be stronger you'll fail and need to repeat.
- Let him go. Yes, he's gorgeous. Yes, he's interesting and cool. Yes, he seemed interested but he'll never make up his mind. You're just making yourself look foolish and feel bad. Don't waste 2 years trying to make him see what he's missing. :rolleyes:
- That flakey girl that clung to you one minute and disappeared the next? Ditch her. She's trouble and a liar. The girl your dad warned is "Too nice"? She is. To your face anyway. Run. FAST!
- Don't stress about being single. When you least expect it, you'll meet him and you'll never look back.
- You are not ugly. You could lose a pounds though. Do it now or you'll regret it later.0 -
