Dear past me,
Oh to be 11 and naive again. How I envy you. Here's a nice look at how your future turns out:
Save yourself the disappointment and don't even organize birthday parties 12-18, no one will show up anyway.
Don't bother agreeing to outings with friends, they'll reschedule every last one without telling you.
Don't fool yourself into believing your parents care, in 3 years time you'll be told outright that you were a mistake and they've regretted every moment of your childhood.
Good luck with the broken bones, you'll be seeing a lot of them.
In short: Give up. It doesn't what you do, no one will care.
See you in 6 years,
Your misanthropic, cynical older self.

Haha don't worry about it. I'm (hopefully) off to University soon. That will either be a fresh start where this won't happen again or it'll just be another run through the old cycle. Either are distinct possibilities xDSwollen Goat said:
I would have a little fun. I'd probably write something like: "Don't trust the squirrels! They're planning to kill you! Love, Future Self."
Dear 5th grade me,
ok here we go you know how ashley is moving? yea you may thing that sucks but its GOOD you become best friends. but don't say anything about her 15 year old boy friend. she stops talking to you for 2 years.
ok then next year at hockey the new girl,bridget, LIKES YOU dont be a pussy ask her out because if you don't she will move on to matt,ryan,and even RUDY!
ok next up Meghan. in 7th grade you WILL LIKE HER but she is a lost cause, but dont I REPEAT DON'T lose her as a friend. you might think having Ashley call her will be funny but DONT!
Rudy is really gay. Caleigh and him will last all of 2 weeks. but keep hanging out with tem when they always hang out. THAT IS NOT A SLIP AND SLIDE IT JUST ISN'T. you'll know what im talking about and Rudy's parents will not find it funny. DO NOT SPIT OUT THE KERNELS RUDY'S DAD GETS PISSED! also don't buy the 10 dollars worth of monsters. they do nothing.
SAVE YOUR MONEY! DO NOT BUY A WII! DO NOT RUN BACKWARDS! XBOX 360! START LIFTING! DROP SOME POUNDS! DO THE DAMN ESSAYS! MRS.RAUSHI HATES YOU THERE WILL BE NO WAY AROUND IT! DO WAHT EVER YOU WANT SHE CANT DO MUCH BESIDES DETENTION!
When nick is doing jumping jacks DON'T KICK!
Ahh Anna, here is where it gets tricky. in 8th grade she'll be ehh about you whether you will stay friends. now this much i dont know past it but what i do know is make sure she asks out matt. if matt says no, it won't matter.she needs confidence. dont think that saying she looks pretty will make her think you like her. she needs more confidence.
ok now in 9th grade you will have to fight a bunch of kids,but they are all pussys. but try not to, because suspension is not fun.
Your future, tank shaped self,
Chris

This would probably be on my list, too.Duskwaith said:
I don't know..Um..I would probably tell myself to commi-..No..I have no idea.
Liam,
I was going to give you some good advice, but it's probably better you figure it out on your own. Lol @ some of the stupid things you will do.
I was going to give you some lotto numbers in compensation, but then you wouldn't have to use your brains.
I will just say this: Use your time wisely, there's not as much of it as you think!
Either that or some lotto numbers to yesterday me.

Dear past and almost as handsome self,
Your real dad's name is Mike Wall. He's an awesome guy and don't believe the lies mom says about him. Freak out your asshole, alcoholic, prescription drug abusing, lazy ass stepfather by constantly telling him he's going to die in a horrific car accident in his mid-forties. Then laugh. Because he will. The jackass.
Learn to play guitar. Chicks dig it.
Take care of your body. When you hit fourteen or fifteen years old, go to the doctor and get your guts and intenstines checked out, push them if they say nothing's wrong. Trust me on this one. If you don't, invest in toilet paper.
Don't slack off so much in grade 12. Just don't. Go to university.
Make sure to be on the look out for a girl named Stephanie. You'll meet her through a friend's boyfriend. Might want to wait until you're at least 22 years old though.
If you end up getting a decent job by the time you enter university, invest in Google, a web search company. They're going to be huge, trust me.
Keep drawing. Never doubt your talent.
Don't lose your copy of FFVII. It'll be worth something, not much, but something.
P.S: The cake is a lie. You'll know what it means.
-Your awesome future self.

Just like Captain Hero on Drawn Together...Scrythe said:
As for myself,
Dear Lisa,
Work harder at university or you'll cry on results day and don't sleep with him so early on, it'll all turn to shit. Don't believe a damn word he says initially, he's just trying to impress you, ask him for the truth.
Also, go out more and try and make more friends or you'll be miserable when the previous situation turns to shit!
EDIT: Oh, and when your film tutor says that this is the most shocking opening to a film you will ever see, BELIEVE HIM! DO NOT LET CURIOSITY GET THE BETTER OF YOU, IT WILL HAUNT YOU FOR YEARS! CLOSE YOUR EYES!

Oh yeah we Rock and you will be great at Programing ;D cheers mate! Oh Parkour and Skimming are your sports forget all others you will suck at them... just reminding bye \o
P.S. If you don't like how it turns out create an Account on "The Escapist" and write to your past self saying what you would like to change I AM COUNTING ON YOU! Oh yeah fire breathing Ants go down easily if you have a Fat Man and over 300 yards of distance. Oh and don't believe the cake... it's a bug and a Lie....

Dear Me,
Don't choose French. Don't get a job at McDonalds.
Also, grow your hair out now, it looks better when it hits shoulder length.
From Me.
P.S. She's annoying, but she's your sister, the axe won't help that.

Dear me in the past.
Don't let your brother take the xbox it'll cost you money when he changes your live name repeatedly no seriously don't let him borrow it.
Love your future self.
P.S. since writing this may cause a paradox re-write this letter even if you do this so we can keep continuity. Damn your smart in the future to think of this.
No seriously do it
