Advice for your 16 year old self

coco_lola · 07-12-2010 02:28AM #1

Theres this craze going around Twitter now.. "Tweet your 16 year old self". Everyone is tweeting advice they would give to their 16 year old selves had they known it back then.

So I'm interested to know, if you could go back in time and meet your 16 year old self, what advice would you give him/her that you know now?

I said it the last three times this thread was opened on boards:

Buy gold.

I'd punch him in the face. Not that I did anything wrong but I think that'd be the best way for me to learn just how unfair life really is.

Ah it was on AH before? S***e. Ah well... I thought I was being original. Still interested to know though, saving me going through all the threads trying to find the old one (s) !

Sell your Bank of Ireland shares in early February 2007.

At least attempt to get your daily masturbation number down to a single figure.

Don't become a vegetarian, carbohydrates are your ememy.

Meat is your friend.

**** doesnt make you go blind

Treat girls like you don't give a ****... for some reason makes them want you more...

Go get your ears checked.
Now.
And get them checked every year from now on.
This advice will save you a lot of pain.

Also, the 6 foot tall american burnette with the 24inch waist and 38DD rack who seems too good to be true, yeah, well, she's fu*king crazy, stay away from her.

Try ""Tweet your 60 year old self".

Then come back in 44 years and let us know what you thought of your 16 yr old self

Keep investing by buying the Cyril the Squirrel stamps at the post office (actually think I might still have them!). :cool:

Don't let the bullying bastards chase you out of school. Don't spend every bit of money you make from the FAS course on Tupac and NWA CDs because you'll grow out of listening to rap in four years time. And most importantly appreciate your father because he won't be there forever.

Slow down....

TheUsual · 07-12-2010 04:25AM

Don't listen to Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. They are seriously crap.
But stick with Metallica, Rory Gallagher and Faith No More.

TeddyTedson · 07-12-2010 04:40AM

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's some strange advice, most of the vegetarian/vegan girls I know are thin as rakes.

But I suppose whether meat-eater or vegetarian, if you eat sh1t all day you'll become fat!

But it will get you kicked off public transport.

I'd tell myself no, you're right, you are better than most people. Rock on bro.

1. Spent more time with Family.. you'll miss them when there gone.
2. Actually go into school and study to get a decent leaving so your not stuck in a low paid boring job while all your friends are away enjoying college life.
