"Don't go out with that guy. Seriously. You'll only break up with him, and then be stalked for the next three years of your life."

Emilee, virginity is a beautiful thing, don't be so reckless with it.
Don't worry, you'll find love ith the most unusual person, so stop going back to him...
And sixth form isn't all that good...

I'd probably say several things:

"Don't ask Lucy out cause she'll say no."
"Try asking Mel out at some point, you'll have a better chance now than later"
"Revise more for English Literature"
"DO NOT PUT CARDIFF AS A UNIVERSITY CHOICE!!!!!"

(sorry about the caps on the last one, but that is probably the most important for me).

"Keep going, you're doing just fine."

I really am starting to worry about the overwhelming amount of negative thinking here at The Escapist.
Didn't anyone have an at least OK childhood?
Well, my childhood was alright but surely you have SOME advice for your younger self. I mean, you must have made at least a few mistakes when you were young.

Don't stop drawing, you'll miss those skills later. Don't be intimidated by girls. Try to make more friends. Brush your teeth more. Start programming way earlier and get involved in web 2.0. I could have been rich at age 20 if only I'd kept at it. :/

Iain. Stay the fuck away from Natasha. Seriously. Don't go near her. You'll regret it for a LONG time. Also, don't bother trying to play football. You really can't do it. Take up rugby, you're quite good at it.

"Starcraft Ghost won't come out.
Sega won't make a sequel to shining force until 2009 for the DS.
Don't bother buying a gamecube, it'll be fucking pointless when you do.
Play tribes more.
Don't give up on the starcraft scene. Don't quit because when you come back you won't know any of the new stratgeies and you'll feel like the laughing stock of USEast, because it will have improved in a few years.
Don't bother with her, she's not worth it and will do nothing but waste your time and draw it away from things that actually make you happy and are productive.
Pick up a guitar NOW, don't wait until you're 17. You'll be that much better. Keep teaching yourself because it's probably the best learning you can have for it.
Ask mom to teach you piano, because you'll start hearing music that you'll want to play, and you won't be able to because you screwed around with it in the wrong way, so stop teaching yourself and let her do it the right way.
Don't buy Deus Ex: The Invisible War.
Treat your mom better, god damn. Don't be such a selfish piece of garbage. At least mow the lawn and shovel the driveway.
Don't go to 4chan.
Don't go into CIT networking, stay in computer science, you'll probably enjoy it more.
Register for classes a long time beforehand. Get the books online, get the ISBN numbers a while before hand. It will save you money, time, and frustration.
Write your graduation cards on time. People give a shit about it. I know you don't, but some people do.
Act with a bit more confidence. You'll meet better people than the bastards that stole your UT2K4 disk for weed money.

Don't take things too seriously. Most of it doesn't matter. You'll understand how little it all means later. Don't hold grudges, it's not worth it."

That pretty much covers the things I'm thinking of right now.

I'd tell myself you MUST remember 'Inside the cube lies the crow, do not team' Just to completely confuse myself.

Either that or tell myself to stop getting haircuts i looked stupid with short hair. Now i look stupid with long hair but i dont spend as much money on haircuts. (although more on shampoo, i wonder what costs more in the long run).

I cant think of anything in my childhood that i did horribly wrong that didnt teach me alot. Learning from mistakes is kinda useful.

Although actually now that i think about it i'd tell myself to never EVER type :) or :p because i now spam them with every comment and really wish i didnt.

Amen to that. I wish just once there would be an honest commercial about drugs, alcohol or underage sex. None of this "IF YOU DO POT YOU WILL STEAL FROM YOUR FAMILY, FAIL SCHOOL, AND ABANDON ALL YOUR FRIENDS SO YOU CAN SMOKE MORE" bullshit.

I'd probably tell myself, avoid the goth stage, stop falling in love with everything of the opposite gender that smiled at you and shave that fucking bum fluff 'tash off it's disgusting!
