What would you tell your 12-year-old self if you could?

<ul>
<li>There’s a big world outside of getting good grades</li>
<li>People different from you are still human. They’re also very interesting and you should talk to them.</li>
<li>You should go vegetarian now. Why wait until you’re older?</li>
</ul>

<p>What would you say?</p>

<p>I would tell myself to practice SAT from 12-year old age so I can get ready as soon as possible unlike right now…</p>

<p>“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”</p>

<p>“Take everything with a grain of salt.”</p>

<p>That should get rid of my anxiety and the naivety I had until a year or so ago.</p>

<p>To get over puberty.</p>

<p>Learn about things that are fun and interest you because it will remind you how much more fun college is than this stupid junior high/high school your suffering through now. I’m sure many people will beg to differ with me but it’s reminded me to quit complaining about how much high school sucks.</p>

<p>Five years ago? To try to go see this guy named Elliott Smith in concert. Henry Fonda Theatre. 1/31/03.</p>

<p>Take more interest in school at a younger age. Should’ve done it earlier. And to not have ‘drama’ with friends, it just makes you look like a dumb fool.</p>

<p>dont worry. it gets better. </p>

<p>also, id tell myself to learn how to study/develop a good work ethic…i still dont really have one :/</p>

<p>+see elliot smith :)</p>

<p>uh. 2 years ago.
“ask that girl out. now.”
“join all more prestigious programs.”
“practice sats”
“finish the easy APs, and ap bio/ap physics b/stats/chem”
“Accelerate math.”
“stop slacking off”</p>

<p>yepyep.</p>

<p>Oh yeah and to really work hard in Algebra 1. Because that began a slippery slope to now.</p>

<p>do work</p>

<p>and maybe</p>

<p>don’t fail</p>

<p>“The other students” won’t matter a few years from now. They really don’t. I know you’ve been told that a lot, but it’s not just talk - it’s true. </p>

<p>You won’t be that timid and shy for a long time. You’ll be known for your sarcasm and your cockiness, and in fact, one sarcastic comment will change your life and gain you a mentor and friend.
You’ll get into that damn college, and yes, you’ll get straight A’s in high school.</p>

<p>Girls are not icky. Girls are giggly and annoying, I agree with that. But one day you’ll learn to love women. Trust me on this- they are scary as hell, confusing, unpredictable -and amazing.</p>

<p>buy google stock</p>

<p>^lol…</p>

<p>I’d tell my self to stop being such an idiot and that everything’s gonna work out somehow in the end.</p>

<p>-get more girls

  • stop procrastinating, playing video games
  • study and plan for college
    – pwn nubs</p>

<p>not to spend anytime on trivial things in school, just barely pass and engage in more self study</p>

<p>I would tell myself to appreciate the moments as they happened & to have fun because it all goes by way too fast.</p>

<p>I’d tell myself to learn how to study so I wouldn’t be struggling now.</p>

<p>I’d tell myself to go ahead and be a little hell-raiser up until I enter high school.</p>

<p>assuming im using a time-turner to accomplish this, I would ask my old self to not shoot me when he sees me, so that the old me doesn’t die, warping time. As dumbledore told us in harry potter, this can have untold consequences. lol</p>
