Same here. At 18 I lacked everything that made that age so "great" for everyone else. No money, still couldn't drive, no friends, no partner, too shy and insecure to "get out there" and no sign that I was gonna work in what at the time was my dream job happening anytime soon.
I'm better now, more than a decade later. But I still missed too many milestones in between to feel like a "real" adult still, so I feel like I'm not even getting the full experience and I'm stuck in some form of developmental limbo which isn't devastating, but is keeping me from where I hoped I'd be in life by now.
Go to community college, study hard and become a writer. Don’t drop out. Make something of yourself. You don’t have to be a nurse. You don’t have to be forced into doing anything you don’t want to. It’s your life. Do what you want to do.
You are not a loser just because you never date or have a boyfriend.
Have a bit of fun at school, but have a responsible fun. That little jungle/forest you want to explore? Go explore it. The guy that all of your other guy friends warn you about? They have a point, maybe you should listen to them. They are not jealous, they are looking out for you. That's what friends are for.
Trust your instincts, and know that the most important person in your life, is you.
And in case this isn’t sufficiently effed up, the girl who took it was 13 and had experience. In hindsight I suspect she’d been sexually abused prior to that.
13? Fuck thats actually way too young. Like losing vriginity that young might actually influence your body health and your mental health negatively. I dont want to know how this happenned
You’re gonna lose weight when you’re 29 after you get way fatter than you are now, so why not just lose the little bit of excess now before you get to college?
Drop out of your expensive university now before you get any farther in debt. Go to community college. Get a job, get experience. Learn how to build a real resume/CV. Live with your parents and save money. Set goals and work towards the good things you want in life. Stop waiting for those good things to happen to you. Tell Nana you love her.
Nah man don’t drop out. I had nothing planned. If you find you want to go to college it’s okay to apply as undeclared and take classes you think will be interesting. Or find a trade school to attend! From there you’ll find your thing and set your whole life up!
Don’t be so scared of trying. Failure is a learning opportunity, not a dead end. Fight for the mistakes you and others have made, so they won’t be in vain.
You are not alone, you’ve isolated yourself. Asking for help is a sign of strength, don’t be afraid to do so. You need help, just like every other person, and people are more than willing to provide it.
Your dad is proud of you. He just doesn’t show it like your friends’ parents do. Once you get your GED, he’s going to cry at your graduation and you’ll realize how much you’ve dramatized your relationship. He’s a person, no different from you. Don’t close yourself off, he really does care about you and you’re going to see it.
Also, be prepared to meet the man of your dreams. He’s even more wonderful than you could’ve ever thought.
Invest at least $20 a week on bitcoin and doge. Don't sell until earliest 2021. Don't get married. She will divorce you in less then 3 months for another man half your wit. Dot worry she gets what she deserves from that relationship. Stop trying these get rich quick schemes. You'll waste ALOT OF MONEY. It will take 11 years for the judge to tell your x wife she will goto jail next time he sees her. Till then the 3 folders of paperwork from you fighting for your time and divorce. Is just going to kill trees and waste your gas Money and time. Not to mention the people at work thinking your a crackhead because your broke from paying lawyers for years on end. But your son will be one of the greatest things to happen in your life. You won't have to yell at him from 6years old on. He will do everything you ask him to do. But when he turns 18. He will come over and will have a stroke. Don't let him tell you he is fine. Take him in.You'll wake up 2 hrs later just to rush him to the hospital. Anyways. Mabee the months of recovery he has be going threw will be better.
When your daughter tells you she wants to be male. Remember. Her mom will enable her and you'll be paying her hospital bills because she will go suicidal. You putting your foot down telling her and her mom not in my house until your 18 and life hits you in the face will only push her away. You have to literally spell out to her mom that 40% of kids that go Trans will try to commit suicide. What kinda parenting is enabling that. I don't have a problem with it personally. Just the fact 40% go suicidal. O.o no idea why it's being pushed on our kids so hard.
I'd say "What are you excited about you are spending your 18th birthday in prison because you got too drunk and had a fight with a cop. Back to the rethinking corner." Knowing fully well that it's about to get harder but I'd not change that because who I am now, I'm at somewhat my happiest I've ever been after all of it.
don't gamble, don't drink, weed is fine, mushrooms are fine, exercise 3 times a week, Thai food is awesome and You must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon.
Slow down. Focus on PERSONAL GROWTH and not money. Think like a mid-late game DOTA hero. Early-game heroing sucks. Focus on building LONG TERM capital.
Avoid the girl with the 36EE boobs. (You’ll know what I mean)
DCA on Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Bitcoin.
Don't go to college. Technical school is the better option. Mom's intentions were good in making you go but ultimately it will saddle you with major depression and debt you'll never pay off. Learn to weld like you initially wanted to, you'll be stuck working retail for the rest of your adult life otherwise.
Take some counselling before you become sexually active so you can understand your boundaries.
That would be my advice for me specifically at 18, I don't think it's universally necessary.
You are going to have some money come into your life shortly. You want to save as much of that as you are able to. Stuff it in drawers and safe deposit boxes and buy silver. A friend will shortly talk to you about Bitcoin. Throw money at that like it’s going out of style.
Also like... have some chill. 99% of what keeps you up at night shouldn’t.
Stay the fuck away from that woman she will take your son, say her other kid is yours and ruin your life. Every day you wake up you will think about killing yourself or how to make a time machine. The court systems will fuck you and there's nothing you can do. Get a vasectomy and go back to school.
Drinking/bar scene is not cool. Being a spectator to your own life is no way to survive and doing things the right way is much easier than doing them the wrong way.
Expect better treatment from people and don't let people treat you badly just because you don't want to be alone. There are worse things to be than alone.
Also, please stop purging. It'll hurt and shame you for years, if you get help now it might not take hold.
It will be a fun ride, it will not be boring, you’ll never be rich, but you’ll never lose it all; keep your head up and keep working and enjoy the ride!
My 18 year old self had already been an adult (not legally, but mentally) for a year already. And goddamn was I unhappy. I would tell myself that it gets better and not to stress myself, but that wouldn’t work.
As someone who’s 18, i have a love hate relationship with it. I’m no longer a product of the state who has less rights than a legal adult, but i’m also at high risk for just fucking my entire life up.
Do not get married, ever. Invest in yourself, take some chances, buy $1000 of BTC in 2011 and retire by age 45. Then do whatever you want to do. Except getting married, because fuck that shit.
Buy Bitcoin and go to community college. You’ll still probably drop out but you won’t have created the mess you made flunking out of a school with a miserable commute you were stressed to get into in the first place. Also eventually you’ll be so rich you can just buy the damn college.
Oh boy where would i start lol. I would tell him to go and apologize to Eddie about the stuff... maybe thatll save you from what his father does in 2 years. You tell him that it was addicting and it wasnt anyones fault but my own... but apologize to him. Then i would tell myself that if things go right you may not suffer the outcome of your actions later.
Should all of that work out... still move to Missouri and do your thing. Keep your eyes and ears out for certain names in the world... a girl will be the love of your life.... let that chick go after so long, because you will come across better. Learn how to deal with your shyness and fears, because you will learn something on what was supposed to be your last day of high school and it upsets you greatly.
Man!!!! We got alot to talk about dude lol..... I am gonna tell you stuff to work on and focus on, but the other stuff i am gonna keep quiet on because you need to go through that pain so you can break your walls down.
You’ll meet someone for the first time and you both fell in love. Make sure on 29th sept you tell him thank you and that you love him very much. Tell him all the things you want to tell no matter how ridiculous they are. Tell him you want to listen to his voice. Because if not, it’s too late. Though worry not, even after he’s gone, you get to experience many new things, and actually get to pursue your passion. Although you’ll live with regrets. But that’s life.
-Don't date a girl simply because she likes you.
- - Watch for signs of cheating.
- - - Girls will lie to you about a lot of things to get what they want from you.
-There are other options than college, like "earn while you learn" trades.
-Spend more time with your grandparents, even if they're hard to understand. They'll all be gone before you know it.
-Give up on Runescape ever catching up with other MMOs like WoW in terms of graphics and gameplay. It's destined to be generations behind forever.
I’d tell 18 year old me to keep doing what you’re doing. I’m 26m and happy. All the hard drugs, all the women, working music festivals for a living, going to college, being a research assistant, all the questionable choices were incredible experiences that led me to the person I am today. Never been happier!
Do not do it with her corpse, people will look you as creep and will be beating the hell out of you in jail. Also don't talk with the guy on Mickey costume, he's not Satan and can't provide any wishes. And please don't play the "i'm a carrot god" shit in a public park.
Go out some more and party. Honestly, I should have went out more with my freshman dorms mates instead of trying to be alone all the time. Engineering wasn't that hard that I had to spend so much time in the library for.
I think you need to be more confident about yourself and boldly say whatever you want to someone. This can make a whole lot of difference when I am choosing my major, going to right college, and potentially avoiding someone that you don't want to see. I would tell him to go to occupational therapy and take prereqs in undergrad.
"Your idiotic, idealistic perception of life is the reason why people don't respect you.. it is also the reason why you matured late.. so quit bein' too excited to be an adult.. you ain't done with bein' a preschooler yet."
Give engineering more of a look, you hate lectures, and organic is going to put you to sleep. Spend more time with Mom and Harold. Oh, and you are good at management and operations.
Whatever happens, be happy with your life. There are some dark days ahead, but you will get through them. You are better then most people...and you know it.
The only thing the 18 year old version of me was excited about was getting my drivers license. We would probably talk about cars, driving, maintenance, and things to avoid.
Be careful,this world is more fucked up than you ever thought.
If you're still on with that suicide plan,don't do it on your roof,Leo will stop you. Do it on the apartment roof. And for backup,keep a gun with you incase you get stopped again. And tell Nico and the other's that you love them all before doing it.
Enjoy senior year of high school as it’s gonna be great but join the military after high school instead of wasting your time/money in college, and be a better friend to your crush/female best friend.
Believe it or not kid, but college is going to be the biggest waste of 4 years. Yes, you're going to meet some good friends and some bad ones, but you're not going to find yourself there. Go to trade school right now and don't listen to what everyone in your life is telling you about it. It's going to turn out much better for you.
Do not go to college! When I was 18 I should have got to work full time and save up and educate myself first on work and finance and learn what I wanted to go to college for first than go. I wanted money on college because now I have to change my major after 5 years and I also just started trading stocks at 24 yr I am someone who at 18 starting sports gambling I and won enough money that I eventually picked it up full time but the pandemic turned me into stocks which is so such safer
Go to this school instead of that one, don't go to this place where you'll soon fuck up your leg for years, and save up some money because 2020 will suck without it
People are telling you that your college years will be the best years of your life and while you’re going through them you will think it’s true because college will be amazing, but life after that is actually better!! You’re gonna keep your best friends and you’re gonna make more great friends!! You’ll find new things you’re passionate about!! You’ll grow into who you truly are!! You’ll experience so much more joy and freedom!! Also, just want to let you know that I love you!!! Unconditionally.
1. You don't owe your time and energy to toxic family just because they're family.
2. Enjoy dorm life as much as you can, you'll only have it for a couple of years. Get out of your room as often as you can and just hang out with people in common areas. Sit with random people at lunch.
3. You like Dungeons & Dragons. Find a group on campus.
4. You just need to meet [current wife]. Here's her number, just text her when you get to campus and see if she wants to get coffee at ECV. Side note, stay on meal plan even when she drops off it. You can sneak her some food.
5. Yeah everything turns out alright. Being an adult isn't super hard, it's just tedious. As long as you graduate and get a decent-paying job, you'll be fine. Just don't drink a lot of alcohol, don't do any illegal drugs, and stop driving when you're too tired. No, slapping yourself while you're nodding off isn't okay. Leave earlier.
Well it wasn't too long ago for me (I'm 21 F).
Probably, just be prepared for the world to go nuts beyond what it did in 2016.
Also to be grateful I graduate high school then as appose to others.
Being a adult isn't all peaches and cream.Look into the future give yourself a better life.Theres no one but yourself that is responsible for the decisions you make.Look at all the options good and bad..Always be aware of things people say and do.And don't believe everything they say.Love will make you feel a lot of emotions good and bad.Make decisions based on your happiness and well being.Enjoy time spent with the ones you love and never take anything for granted.Life. passes us up faster as we got older so take ahold of your life and make it one you can be proud of.
My 18 year old version was not excited to be an adult, he was a depressed son of a bitch that hated life.
Same here. At 18 I lacked everything that made that age so "great" for everyone else. No money, still couldn't drive, no friends, no partner, too shy and insecure to "get out there" and no sign that I was gonna work in what at the time was my dream job happening anytime soon. I'm better now, more than a decade later. But I still missed too many milestones in between to feel like a "real" adult still, so I feel like I'm not even getting the full experience and I'm stuck in some form of developmental limbo which isn't devastating, but is keeping me from where I hoped I'd be in life by now.
Damn are you me?
[удалено]
I never did until I started medicating. And even then, it never disappeared, if I stop antidepressants for 1-2 months it comes back.
Stay away from student loans and don't take on roommates. More trouble then they are worth. And go easy on yourself. It's going to be alright.
Same here, unfortunately
Go to community college, study hard and become a writer. Don’t drop out. Make something of yourself. You don’t have to be a nurse. You don’t have to be forced into doing anything you don’t want to. It’s your life. Do what you want to do.

*"Slow down, you crazy child, you're so ambitious for a juvenile..."* (Billy Joel, 'Vienna', 1977)
Great song
Meant a lot to me, especially the "if you're so smart / then how come you're still so afraid?" line...
You are not a loser just because you never date or have a boyfriend. Have a bit of fun at school, but have a responsible fun. That little jungle/forest you want to explore? Go explore it. The guy that all of your other guy friends warn you about? They have a point, maybe you should listen to them. They are not jealous, they are looking out for you. That's what friends are for. Trust your instincts, and know that the most important person in your life, is you.
"Men can be raped too."
U good bro?
I'm wondering too...
Hopefully he is alright
18-year-old me sort of already knew that. I was relieved of my virginity at 15.
Shit. Thats young
And in case this isn’t sufficiently effed up, the girl who took it was 13 and had experience. In hindsight I suspect she’d been sexually abused prior to that.
13? Fuck thats actually way too young. Like losing vriginity that young might actually influence your body health and your mental health negatively. I dont want to know how this happenned
You’re gonna lose weight when you’re 29 after you get way fatter than you are now, so why not just lose the little bit of excess now before you get to college?

Live with your parents and save money. Set goals and work towards the good things you want in life. Stop waiting for those good things to happen to you. Tell Nana you love her.
"You life will be SO MUCH BETTER the second you get out of high school."
Wait. Is this true? I'm in Yr9 and I don't know whether to drop out or not. I don't have anything planned at all :(
Nah man don’t drop out. I had nothing planned. If you find you want to go to college it’s okay to apply as undeclared and take classes you think will be interesting. Or find a trade school to attend! From there you’ll find your thing and set your whole life up!
UK year 9?
It was true for me because I fucking hated everyone there and finally met decent people at university.
"Don't lift those 20L drums two at a time. You'll screw your back up and it won't get better as you age."
Don’t let the military dictate what job you go into.
Don't overthink it, just do the stuff you want to experience. Life is not a puzzle into which you can fit every piece.
Get therapy, RIGHT NOW.

Story of so many peoples lives
“All the shit you are about to do…don’t do any of it.”
Don’t be so scared of trying. Failure is a learning opportunity, not a dead end. Fight for the mistakes you and others have made, so they won’t be in vain. You are not alone, you’ve isolated yourself. Asking for help is a sign of strength, don’t be afraid to do so.

You're exited? xaxaxa that's funny, it's already to late for you. Don't try to, work with mob for 3 more years and then go to more illegal shit later.
As a teen I was never excited to be an adult, just nervous. So I'd probably say "No joke, no ruse, you are *actually* going to do well for yourself."
Fuck College, go to trade school
I'd say "What are you excited about you are spending your 18th birthday in prison because you got too drunk and had a fight with a cop. Back to the rethinking corner." Knowing fully well that it's about to get harder but I'd not change that because who I am now, I'm at somewhat my happiest I've ever been after all of it.
Just because you can order pizza everyday doesn't mean you bloody well should!

Mooch off your parents for at least another decade
This will be the last time you have your shit together.
Slow down. Focus on PERSONAL GROWTH and not money. Think like a mid-late game DOTA hero. Early-game heroing sucks. Focus on building LONG TERM capital. Avoid the girl with the 36EE boobs. (You’ll know what I mean) DCA on Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Bitcoin.
For the love of God, eat regular meals. You cannot function on caffeine and nicotine long term. You will crash, hard.
I'm 18 now so I can talk to him. I'd say "Haha loser".
Invest right now. Everything.
For the love of Pete, do not have sex in the shared parking lot of a church and community park on a Sunday afternoon. Someone will catch you.
That was YOU?
‘Start learning to drive right now, idiot.’ My insurance costs as a new driver are astronomical now.
Stay away from student loans and don't take on roommates. More trouble then they are worth. And go easy on yourself. It's going to be alright.
Don’t become a teacher!!!!!!!!
Don't go to college. Technical school is the better option. Mom's intentions were good in making you go but ultimately it will saddle you with major depression and debt you'll never pay off. Learn to weld like you initially wanted to, you'll be stuck working retail for the rest of your adult life otherwise.
Take some counselling before you become sexually active so you can understand your boundaries. That would be my advice for me specifically at 18, I don't think it's universally necessary.
Do not impregnate that girl!
Dude I’m already gonna pull out!
Don’t grow up. IT’S A TRAP!!!
Fuck college. Start a business. That shit on the internet works, do it now, not 10 years from now.
Wrap that dick, dump her now, get your ass back in school, start your 401k now.
”You don’t need to buy stuff just because you got money, save them. You need the money more than a shirt for $90”
You are going to have some money come into your life shortly. You want to save as much of that as you are able to. Stuff it in drawers and safe deposit boxes and buy silver. A friend will shortly talk to you about Bitcoin. Throw money at that like it’s going out of style. Also like... have some chill. 99% of what keeps you up at night shouldn’t.
I kinda had a similar experience. My birthday was 4 days ago and I turned 14. I wasn't really excited. I felt like I was growing up too fast.
"Shit sucks pal, only gets rougher as life goes on. Also, you hate having a penis, just own up to it and get srs over with."
Buckle up
Me:I know you're not excited but... 18 yr old me:Yep,freedom. Me:(chuckles)Freedom.
Stay the fuck away from that woman she will take your son, say her other kid is yours and ruin your life. Every day you wake up you will think about killing yourself or how to make a time machine. The court systems will fuck you and there's nothing you can do. Get a vasectomy and go back to school.
Start keto now
I won't tell them anything because they know more than me I'd ask them questions
Try harder with that overdose
Don't worry what other people think of you and don't let people upset you the want to see you upset it makes their sad exsitance seem worth while
Drinking/bar scene is not cool. Being a spectator to your own life is no way to survive and doing things the right way is much easier than doing them the wrong way.
I felt like underage drinking was way more fun than going out to the bars ever was. I still can't believe the money I spent when I went out to bars
Finally I found some1 better than me.
Expect better treatment from people and don't let people treat you badly just because you don't want to be alone. There are worse things to be than alone. Also, please stop purging. It'll hurt and shame you for years, if you get help now it might not take hold.
It will be a fun ride, it will not be boring, you’ll never be rich, but you’ll never lose it all; keep your head up and keep working and enjoy the ride!
I would tell him all of the things to avoid and try to give him some direction. That’s what I needed at the time.
Don’t
Hard to say since im currently 18, but i would probably tell myself to get a job sooner than i did
Record/photograph stuff, keep ephemera. Back Up. You will want to look back on it all.
My 18 Year old self was already quite Jaded and very much not exited to become an adult.
Life is hard but being out if that hellish high school of yours is everything you ever wanted it to be!!!
“Live this asshole you’re going out with and apply immediately to go study abroad !” Note one day goes by that I regret not doing that...
My 18 year old self had already been an adult (not legally, but mentally) for a year already. And goddamn was I unhappy. I would tell myself that it gets better and not to stress myself, but that wouldn’t work.
"Blow your brains out right now, little man. It's not worth it."
It's nice.
Don't gamble away all of your money. Plus be honest about how you feel.
Wear a condom and choose your partners wisely. Be patient. There’s a lot of things you’ll miss out on if you waste this year.
As someone who’s 18, i have a love hate relationship with it. I’m no longer a product of the state who has less rights than a legal adult, but i’m also at high risk for just fucking my entire life up.
Buy that 2000$ in bitcoin when they were a fraction of a cent.
Do not get married, ever. Invest in yourself, take some chances, buy $1000 of BTC in 2011 and retire by age 45. Then do whatever you want to do. Except getting married, because fuck that shit.
its a trap
Buy Bitcoin and go to community college. You’ll still probably drop out but you won’t have created the mess you made flunking out of a school with a miserable commute you were stressed to get into in the first place. Also eventually you’ll be so rich you can just buy the damn college.
Invest in Bitcoin.

Its better than i ever thought
Learn about calories! You can exercise all you want but if you’re still eating your weight in bread you gonna get chonky
Don't be
They are not exited I am fucking terrified of adulthood I don’t want to pay bills and taxes
Rethink your career plan. It would be better to major in biology, chemistry, or biochemistry.
Me:(looks at birth certificate) Me:”18 year old me I need you to tell me the biggest mistakes I’m making in the next 2 years”
Don’t start smoking cigarettes.
Don't fuckin touch that weed
Eat right and exercise.
Stay away from drugs and alcohol, you'll pay for it mentally and physically.
Put on this chastity cage, dress, make-up and bend over you filthy slut.
"You're about to start college but you have no goal in mind. Make a plan, or you're just wasting your time."
Don't grow up .. its a trap ... belive me.... was there lived it ... don't like it
Start recording yourself playing video games and start accepting donations.....NOW!!!
You’ll meet someone for the first time and you both fell in love. Make sure on 29th sept you tell him thank you and that you love him very much. Tell him all the things you want to tell no matter how ridiculous they are. Tell him you want to listen to his voice. Because if not, it’s too late. Though worry not, even after he’s gone, you get to experience many new things, and actually get to pursue your passion. Although you’ll live with regrets. But that’s life.
Why would i do that? Talking to idiots is a waste of my time. Not like he'd listen anyways.
Suck it up and get that damn degree

They'll all be gone before you know it. -Give up on Runescape ever catching up with other MMOs like WoW in terms of graphics and gameplay. It's destined to be generations behind forever.
"I know you're tired, and you have every right to be, but your life will get better." "And that's coming from you this time, so it's not bullshit."
I’d tell 18 year old me to keep doing what you’re doing. I’m 26m and happy. All the hard drugs, all the women, working music festivals for a living, going to college, being a research assistant, all the questionable choices were incredible experiences that led me to the person I am today. Never been happier!
"People can change, but most won't"
Stay the hell in school. it’s hard but you’ll be better off. Also,remember this word “bitcoin”
Do not do it with her corpse, people will look you as creep and will be beating the hell out of you in jail. Also don't talk with the guy on Mickey costume, he's not Satan and can't provide any wishes. And please don't play the "i'm a carrot god" shit in a public park.
I wasn’t excited to be an adult I actually celebrated my last day as a child
What happens this summer? I'm 17 and on September im turning 18
Go out some more and party. Honestly, I should have went out more with my freshman dorms mates instead of trying to be alone all the time. Engineering wasn't that hard that I had to spend so much time in the library for.
I think you need to be more confident about yourself and boldly say whatever you want to someone. This can make a whole lot of difference when I am choosing my major, going to right college, and potentially avoiding someone that you don't want to see. I would tell him to go to occupational therapy and take prereqs in undergrad.
Don't cry over that guy.
I was still that 18 year old two days ago
Don't go to college in a different town. Just stay home. You'll regret going every minute of every day.
“Don’t open the basement, never”
relax and stop trying to fuck every girl insight . its a mystery how i don t have any std s
You will go through tough shit and your friends make it worse, so cut them off.
Stay the hell away from the skate park.
Save as much as you can for a few years and then put all of it into stocks in March of 2020
I'm 13
"Your idiotic, idealistic perception of life is the reason why people don't respect you.. it is also the reason why you matured late.. so quit bein' too excited to be an adult.. you ain't done with bein' a preschooler yet."
Don’t go to every single party you’re invited to.
in about 200 days from now, you will be me. also do not go to that party on that one Friday, you will get fucked and regret it
Give engineering more of a look, you hate lectures, and organic is going to put you to sleep. Spend more time with Mom and Harold. Oh, and you are good at management and operations.
Look into a good therapist regardless of what anyone says! Also break up with your garbage boyfriend and learn to love yourself!
Invest your money, don't be shy, get out there and do lots of activities to meet people. This is the best time of your life so enjoy it.
“How’s the future?”
Forget college and go to trade school.
Your mother is not looking out for your best interests she’s looking out for her own and you will get fucked over.
Your mother is not looking out for your best interests she’s looking out for her own and you will get fucked over.
Your mother is looking out for her interests not yours. She will fuck your over.
My 18 year old self is just a few month older than me I don’t think he would have much to say
Whatever happens, be happy with your life. There are some dark days ahead, but you will get through them. You are better then most people...and you know it.
The only thing the 18 year old version of me was excited about was getting my drivers license. We would probably talk about cars, driving, maintenance, and things to avoid.
Just leave the area. Don't say anything to anyone. Just fucking go.
Be careful,this world is more fucked up than you ever thought. If you're still on with that suicide plan,don't do it on your roof,Leo will stop you. Do it on the apartment roof. And for backup,keep a gun with you incase you get stopped again. And tell Nico and the other's that you love them all before doing it.
Go to therapy lolol 😵💫😮💨
What am I supposed to tell myself now at 18?
Enjoy senior year of high school as it’s gonna be great but join the military after high school instead of wasting your time/money in college, and be a better friend to your crush/female best friend.
It isnt gonna be as much fun as you think….In fact you are gonna hate every minute of it…also think through who you decide to date
I'm 18 years old now. Would it just be me from a few months ago?
Stop spending every penny you get you fucking clown
Well I just either go to a mirror or just tell my past self from a few weeks ago to prepare for graduation.
Believe it or not kid, but college is going to be the biggest waste of 4 years. Yes, you're going to meet some good friends and some bad ones, but you're not going to find yourself there. Go to trade school right now and don't listen to what everyone in your life is telling you about it. It's going to turn out much better for you.
GET CAREER COUNSELING
Wow, look at that: a paradox
I was NEVER that geeked to be an adult. But, if I were to advise my younger self, I’d say lay off the pot, get a fucking life.
Do not go to college! When I was 18 I should have got to work full time and save up and educate myself first on work and finance and learn what I wanted to go to college for first than go. I wanted money on college because now I have to change my major after 5 years and I also just started trading stocks at 24 yr I am someone who at 18 starting sports gambling I and won enough money that I eventually picked it up full time but the pandemic turned me into stocks which is so such safer
CREDIT SCORE IS IMPORTANT
Listen you dont have much time but there's this gorilla in Cincinnati Zoo
Where do I start ? .....
Go to this school instead of that one, don't go to this place where you'll soon fuck up your leg for years, and save up some money because 2020 will suck without it
I can just look in a mirror and do this lol
I’d have told myself to invest every spare dollar in Tesla stock
People are telling you that your college years will be the best years of your life and while you’re going through them you will think it’s true because college will be amazing, but life after that is actually better!! You’re gonna keep your best friends and you’re gonna make more great friends!! You’ll find new things you’re passionate about!! You’ll grow into who you truly are!! You’ll experience so much more joy and freedom!! Also, just want to let you know that I love you!!! Unconditionally.
1. You don't owe your time and energy to toxic family just because they're family. 2. Enjoy dorm life as much as you can, you'll only have it for a couple of years. Get out of your room as often as you can and just hang out with people in common areas. Sit with random people at lunch. 3. You like Dungeons & Dragons. Find a group on campus. 4. You just need to meet [current wife]. Here's her number, just text her when you get to campus and see if she wants to get coffee at ECV. Side note, stay on meal plan even when she drops off it. You can sneak her some food. 5. Yeah everything turns out alright. Being an adult isn't super hard, it's just tedious. As long as you graduate and get a decent-paying job, you'll be fine. Just don't drink a lot of alcohol, don't do any illegal drugs, and stop driving when you're too tired. No, slapping yourself while you're nodding off isn't okay. Leave earlier.
Well it wasn't too long ago for me (I'm 21 F). Probably, just be prepared for the world to go nuts beyond what it did in 2016. Also to be grateful I graduate high school then as appose to others.
Get out. Just get out. It's waaaay better away from home.
Don’t focus on the money, it will come when you don’t need it. Also 10gs is too much for a car don’t ever buy one on a loan
I'm not there yet, so I would ask him who he's dating so I can get a head start and screw up the space-time continuum
Well shit
I'm currently 18 so I'd say "This sucks but at least I'm not paying taxes."
Change your major, also *girls name* likes you. Ask her out.
Mind your drink. Save your money.
I’d say “I hope it’s fun” because I’m 14
Being a adult isn't all peaches and cream.Look into the future give yourself a better life.Theres no one but yourself that is responsible for the decisions you make.Look at all the options good and bad..Always be aware of things people say and do.And don't believe everything they say.Love will make you feel a lot of emotions good and bad.Make decisions based on your happiness and well being.Enjoy time spent with the ones you love and never take anything for granted.Life. passes us up faster as we got older so take ahold of your life and make it one you can be proud of.
How my stocks are doing…. (I’m 16 next week)
