Mess up my clothes and make my self really dirty. Then come back screaming "YOU'VE GOT TO FUCKING STOP THEM THEY KILL EVERYONE" Then return. Wonder how much that would fuck me up.
I'd tell him to take that acceptance letter from Yale and run with it. There's plenty financial aid to be had and worse things can happen to you than a little culture shock and a good bit of distance from home. Also, keep your back straight when dead lifting and/or drive blocking(the two ways I broke my back)
Well, I AM a teenager so I'll go back and tell my pre-teen self...
"Don't give up playing the guitar"...
...I'm sure theres lots of different things I could say that would save me some trouble,some heartache, and all that, but really there is nothing that I regret more then giving up playing guitar after so little effort 6 years ago... I love music and by now I bet I could be pretty damn decent at it!

I'm trying to get into Med School partly for that reason, and I need really good grades for Med School, so I need to get off my ass and study more often.cswurt said:
I hateeee studying.
Stop with Antichrist Superstar. He isn't going to get any better after that.
Yeah, Smooth move telling your friends that you like Bubblegum Pop. They'll still you are a sellout 15 years later.
Don't tell that childhood friend that you are not into metal. Especially don't tell them Countdown to Extinction is worse than Cryptic Writings. Those bones will never mend properly.
Never date anyone named ___________. You'll thank me later.
Remember Oxycontin is 100 pure synthetic heroin. It will sell for about 65 dollars a pill in 2004.

Start eating better and stick to it! I managed to drop a dress size or two but put it all back on when I moved :/
Stop letting people, especially men, walk all over you. When you fall in love, you'll let them get away with anything.

Get Adderall.
Quit being lazy and get a hair cut.
Save yourself a ton of trouble and DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Don't get caught up in WHAT to do/say/write and just do SOMETHING (in schoolwork and elsewhere).
Don't stop taking ninjutsu.
Yes, I know you're a ninja, but quit being so gorram invisible. You're a gorram titan amongst men in both ability and stature. Stand up straight, be confident in the fact that you're exactly as badass as you think you are and that people will recognize that, but be humble about it.
These girls will pretty much be the most important people in the world to you. Don't let any of them friendzone you.
*You're wrong, B. doesn't have a date to prom. I know you're in love with C, and and have no urge to go unless it's with her, but ask B out. If you don't, you'll hate yourself for not doing this for her. Keep track of her and always try to be there for her - she needs a friend and guidance or else the world will try and destroy her. She's one of your best friends, she's the girl you liked before you liked girls, and in a few years she'll be the hottest woman you've ever met. She doesn't have a date because people think she's out of their league. She's not out of yours. Trust me.
*C is the strongest person you know. Your equal. Never underestimate the shit she's been through. Be confident and direct with her. Be the best, nobleist, most honorable, caring, heroic person you can be. It's the only way you'll actually be worthy of her. DO NOT GET FRIENDZONED. DO NOT WAIT. If you don't love this girl, you're an idiot. Give her space unless you want her to clam up and lock you out. I've almost known her for a decade. Totally worth every drop of time you can spare.
*R is just like you. Nearly your equal. If you and C aren't dating for some reason, ask her out and just be completely confident that you two have basically everything in common even though you don't know her right now. If you don't date her, warn her away from Alex and warn her about Stephen. If she does "date" Stephen, straight up and with great gravitas tell him to quit being a dick, treat the woman right, quit stringing her along and actually really date her.
Be her friend, not his.
*Don't speed, it costs you money. Seriously.
This is just on the short list of things I'd tell my teenage self.
Or, those are the things I'd tell myself if I was going to tell myself anything.

Start listening to Deftones and Biffy Clyro more.
Get more involved in parties and getting drunk; it's very fucking fun.
Learn the guitar sooner.
And when you start doing stuff with her, don't be a pussy. You aren't coming across as too rapey, and funnily enough, since she's making out with you, she doesn't find you totally unattractive, so be adventurous.
Oh, and revise more. Dumbass.

For me:
1. All that stuff you think is bullshit, actually is. Stop worrying about it and just ignore it.
2. Don't eat carbs. You'll spend the next 20 years sick as a dog if you do, thinking it's all your fault that you're fat and depressed and too tired to do anything.
3. Novel, artwork, and computer programming, in that order, are DEFINITELY more important than homework.
3a. Take easy classes (except for art/CS) and do JUST enough of the pointless busywork to keep the parents off your back.
3b. Do everything you can to graduate as early as humanly possible. Pester people incessantly until they let you skip several years.
3c. Stay after school frequently to use the school computers and equipment and stuff. It's free. It won't be in a few years.
4. Don't let ANYBODY talk you into trying to go to college. It's worthless to you and you don't have the temperament for it.
5. Get a job as soon as you're old enough and save up every penny you can so that you can move out the minute you turn 18.
6. Computer with expensive software and art supplies are a better investment than a car. Find an apartment within walking/biking distance of work. This will be a lot easier if you followed #2 religiously.
7. Weight training is important. "Cardio" is for chumps.
8. You love to dance. Take some classes already.
9. Wear sunscreen.
