If you could have a conversation with your teenage self...

[Kid Dynamite]

I'd say be very careful who you trust.

 

[rugal]

i would say start meditate to control you anger and read more history books

 

[DragonMals]

don't focus on making friends, expand your interests in not just gaming, and don't ever touch any other social media except for Discord. Don't let gaming be a distraction from earning those High School grades, either. Quit Scratch when you're comfortable, and don't get into any communities that contain any one of the "friends" you made on there.

oh and while you're at it, instead of wishing for more friends, be more attentive to those you speak to, cause at any moment you develop a relationship with them minor or major, there's likely a chance that something bad might happen to you.

oh and most importantly, ALWAYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ON WHAT YOUR SISTER SAYS TO YOU, NO MATTER WHAT.

 

[Antilocal123]

Tell him to off himself. /j

 

[Rusk]

Care less.
And talk to that boy, he really is your type 6 years from now haha.

 

[AkiraSO4]

Unless it's for a game fix, stay out of Steam forums.

 

[Kamako]

"Yo it's really me. [provide proof]
Get everyone exercising NOW
Delete Facebook NOW
Stop smoking fags NOW
Start getting hench NOW
Never mix drugs.
Never buy a PS5.
Failure to act on these things will result in the following peakitude: [elaborate]
Lottery numbers on this date are: xxxxxx
Live in ignorance as much as possible.
MGS still hasn't been topped RIFP.
Safe. Inabit"

I'd also probably ask my younger self general questions to hear myself give authentically happier answers.

 

[MegaHiro91]

I already made post, but here is one more: Never create a social media account, and stay far away from this thing called YouTube. Both are endless rabbitholes and giant wastes of time that you COULD spend catching up on movies, anime, manga, writing or your (later in life) ginormous backlog of videogames.

Everyone on YouTube are just attention hungry nerds anyway begging for subscribers and likes because they THINK it is their fulltime job, when in reality your time on this green rock is way too short and precious to waste on then.

 

[Yousef]

I’d tell her unmodded Pokémon is the true definition of hell.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

This hell you are in the middle of? It'll make for great stories later.

 

[Mr. Daddy]

I don't think I'd try to have a conversation with my teenage self, not because I'm worried about future repercussions or anything like that, but more because I used to be so much more angry and stubborn that I just don't think it'd accomplish anything.​

I can identify with this. Teenage me wasn't the nicest person, and would probably think I was just another adult lecturing them and get angry or aggressive if I tried to talk to them.

How powerful are you rn compared to teenage self? Could you no-diff him?

Yes, easily, not even joking. Teenage me was loud and angry, but still an amateur at martial arts compared to me now. Sometimes I look back and think that punk could've used a whoopin', to be honest.

Completely normal to cringe at our former selves..

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

I guess tell him to tone down his violence tendencies...I been always been an hyper-kinetic kid, but during those years, that excess of energy was frequently used in fights and acts physical bulling.
Try to boost his self confidence part of that circle of violence was instigated by some inferiority complex... I'm thankful to my master and my Martial arts group, they helped quite a bit rerouting that excess energy into something "productive".

 

[IrkenElite]

Embrace your nerdiness. It all works out.

 

[Ruky Ruky]

I would tell her to please don't do the drugs to fit in or be cool. Don't date men who are narcissistic and not to doubt herself!

 

[Hourai]

I'd tell them that they're right, and they shouldn't doubt themself. They are what they think they are, and what they think is happening to them is actually what is happening. Also, they're disabled and shouldn't go to the school they think they want to.

But yeah I'd also tell them to get bitcoin. I remember thinking about how it would be neat to get a little, all the way back in 2012. I did not.

 

[YoshifreakZX]

Don't let certain people or things influence you to become more of a toxic person, both irl and online.

 

[99nereids]

i would tell her to go outside. also BLOCK HIM

 

[Lokgamer]

I would tell him to do and avoid so many things, than this text box wouldn't be enough.

 

[Antilocal123]

I would tell him to do weed way more early and shoplifting as-well, gotta speedrun that shit! /j

 

[kingofdragons]

don't worry, its gets worse.

 

[Leon]

Stop eating so much sugar and buy google and nvidia stock when they go live.
