Keep writing. Every day. And do other creative stuff too, like dance and painting. You keep feeling like you're bad at it, but that's only because you don't practice. So stop being an idiot or you'll be miserable and uncreative for the rest of your life.

Well, It'd probably look something this:
"Hello!"
Since I am my teenage self.

There's always more girls out there. Just...good luck finding ones that like games and comedy as much as you do.

Dude, she totally wants you. Now go over there and get to BANGING! And don't pay attention when she starts screaming "No!" Everything will work out fine. Trust me.

I'm assuming that this action would create a parallel universe and that it would have no effect on my life at all. Yes, I'm such an asshole that I would ruin my own life. Because that asshole deserves it.

Let me age another ten or twenty years and I'll get back to you on that.

For the love of all that is holy, calm the fuck down you hyper active ******. You can have fun and still be calm. Plus, getting angry and trying to be aggressive does not work. It makes you look stupid. Listen to dad and start working out with him. I'm currently in decent condition but if you get to work a now, maybe every few days and begin to build a pattern, you won't need to try intimidation tactics, if it ever comes to it. Oh and you demand to get speech classes and your eyes checked. We need glasses and need to learn how to pronounce our -er's.

I'm still trying to work out the whole name issue, so there's nothing you can do but roll with the punches for now. Speaking of punches, beat the shit out of Tameric or however that horsed-face ******'s name was spelled. Don't hesitate, just beat the living shit out of him. Get some teachers on your side, the bus driver of course, and then destroy him. After that, just ride the wave. Don't try to communicate with the bastards, it's not worth it. Stick to your group of friends and don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself.

Oh, and ignore the whole existential phase. It's not worth it. However, feel free to reflect on your choices and actions BEFORE you enact them. And as for the whole suicide thing...you're not gonna do it. You're never gonna do it. You might as well get over that hump now. Get more games for the PS2 and stop our brother from either selling them or throwing them into the words. Yes, throwing them into the woods, even Ratchet and Clank...stupid fucker.

Which reminds me, stay the fuck away from internet porn. It starts out with a few pictures of boobs but the next thing you know...just pace yourself, please. And don't download anything onto the computer, don't bother arguing on Youtube, don't try to seem intelligent on Youtbe, it's a lost cause. Oh and don't pick robotics for Sophomore year just because your "buddy" Jacob Wingo is taking it. If you've heeded my earlier warnings, you probably won't need to follow him so much. Besides, he ends up being home schooled.

Make sure you get the right gifted classes. Yes, you'll have to read over the Summer and do notes but you like reading and you'll be ready for AP classes. Don't take Graphics and Design,, and make sure you start learning German Freshman year. Oh and whatever you do, make sure you talk to Megan Harris at some point. If you've followed any of my earlier advice, you should be able to find some parallels and speak with her without sounding like a creep.

Also, you should study. Like a boss. Mrs.Blanketship gives great notes but they're useless unless you study them. Oh, AND STAY OFF THE INTERNET A BIT LESS! Seriously, it'll become a problem.

Looking back, I realized I made a lot of mistakes in life...maybe I should just go back and tell my younger self to kill himself, all things considered.

Edit: And I should probably try to watch a few more movies...and record every cartoon while you can, because they disappear man! Yes, the future is horrible.

And try to keep your creativity up! Life get's really boring without it...and manage your money better, or at least if you actually get the rare chance to hold money.

Be up front with your feelings in regards to the girl, she feels the same way...cheer the hell up, and for god sakes, don't ignore the advice of your elders.

One last thing; What ever you do, don't- *time portal evaporates* D:

"Seriously, man, you'll get addicted to lifting weights. Try asking the trainers to make you a program, that's what they're there for. It'll make your future self REEEEEALLY happy!"

You're smart, but if you don't study, you'll lose it. For the love of God, please keep studying. I know High School is really easy. College is a much different experience. It's way more competitive and you're sleeping and passing thing isn't possible here.

I would probably show up in New York during my senior trip and tell myself: "Don't try to act miserable. You don't miss her and you know you are only trying to. Besides She'll break up with you about a month after you graduate anyways. What I'm trying to say is you don't miss her, stop trying to, and enjoy yourself."

Or I'll show up before I totaled my car and say (well, I was 22... at the time, so it doesn't really count.): "You're going to be in a hurry, but black ice doesn't give a fuck. Drive slowly, your wallet, car, and family will thank you"

If I could go back to my 9/10 year old self I would probably say "Your dad being gay is still pretty taboo. You shouldn't announce it until your senior year in High School or so if that, when it's a much more common, and slightly more accepted thing.

I enjoy how everyone is wanting to go back and give themselves some optimistic advice. It amuses me that mine is seemingly the exact opposite: Seriously, this cynicism stuff is awesome. Just because people are older and in places of power over you, doesn't mean you can/should trust them. Most of the time it means the opposite. Learn that now, and you will be far better off in the long run.

Beyond that, I will just have to hope that bastard does it right the first time without losing too much.

I know it was a different time and probably caused a lot of anguish for your family, but that just sounds hilarious. That is probably just me being my callous jackass self though.

Well, I'm 19, so I don't have a huge leap, but if I could go back several years, I would tell myself to figure out what I want to do for a career. 19 and just now starting to figure out what I want to do. Missed out on a bunch of opportunities in school because I had no clue what I wanted to do.

"Dude, take your head out your ass for 30 seconds and start giving a fuck about your education by working your ass off in college and going to university. If you dont its gonna fuck up the rest of your life." P.S. Lay off the alcohol for a while.
