What would you tell your 15-year old self?

So I was reading Savage Love this week (and I warn you, if you're overly sensitive to profanity or talk about premarital sex, dont' click the link), and it's all things that women wish they knew when they were 15. Along the same lines, if you could go back, Marty McFly style, and tell yourself a few quick tidbits about love and sex, what would you say?

My conversation with myself would include the following:
1. Yes, go with your gut and pass on the first girl that offered. It'll help you land the second one...and she's way better anyway.
2. Women are insane. In their twenties, they'll be able to hide it for a few months, but as teenagers they haven't developed this skill, and their insanity will break through within the first few weeks.
3. Just because a girl wants to have sex with you, she's not a slut.
4. If you're ever offered casual sex with a friend, consider this: Yes, it may make for an awkward friendship, but after a few years, you'll realize that you're not friends with her anymore AND you didn't have sex with her. That's gonna suck.
5. When your friend dates a woman that is absolutely terrible for him, and she's wrecking his life, it's your duty to openly hate her, and point out how evil she is.
6. If she mentions how badly she wants a purse that costs more than $40, just move on.

Don't get into a habit of buying stuff, figure out a way to mitigate it in the future.

Don't be so shy in asking girls out...because that'll carry on for the next 10 years

Try out for sports (football). Yeah, you might not know a thing about playing, but high school football lets everyone play. Don't be shy!

College will work out

work harder in school - that guy you end up living with? Make him pay for everything - don't waste your money - invest your money in CD's then buy a property - wait a few years and go hunt down a guy name mcs328 on G|A - he would like you more when you are rich, and educated, knock him out and fly to vegas - get married earlier - otherwise you'd be too old. oh yeah and don't eat so much - you'll get fat.

I actually used to daydream about this. There was so much I would have warned myself about. Now that I'm pushing 40, I realize that everything that has happened in my life, for better or worse, has brought me to the place I am right now.

Honestly, if I could go back in time right now and see my 15 year old self, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd say "Hey bud, everything's going to turn out alright."

When you graduate and join the Army, keep in touch with your boyfriend. He's gonna be hot and rich and famous.

He'll no longer be just your boyfriend, he'l be THE Lincoln Kennedy.

*le sigh*

But more than that, don't marry that guy you meet on your first day in Germany. Just f*** him 'cause he's got a hot body and let him leave for state side without you. He's a loser.

Oh yeah, invest in Microsoft.

Beat the **** out of that f***er. Don't take that ****.

Quit playing computer games and get a job and buy a car and get out of the house. Spend some of that game time learning more real computer stuff. Success won't come so easy later.

Study your chess openings, and work on your pool game. There's money to be made on the streets and in the frat bars of the city you're about to go to school at.

While I can understand how some of the advice you're giving yourself would inadvertently affect your love/sex life (invest in Microsoft, study, stand up for yourself), I was wondering what you guys would say to yourself just on those topics.

Oh... actually one thing though... you see that cute girl who is always with that other guy... he's her brother not her bf. She is single. Go hit on her.

1. you are way to young to be having sex. period.
2. I know there isn't anything you can do about it now except keep your legs crossed.
3. NONE of the boys/men in this town are worth sleeping with.
4. If you don't listen to me now, in 3 years your dream will never come true.
5. When you meet the guy who loves the dragon necklace you are wearing, hold on to him and don't listen to the jealous boy you have had a crush on (who has the same name as him) since 7th grade.

Nice one airen.

Honestly I would tell myself to stop being so damn angry all the time. Actually do the damn homework assignments and maybe even study, then I'll actually do something with my life. If that fell into play, I think I actually might be doing something with my life right now, other than sleeping and eating.
