What would you say to your 12 yr old self?

Avoid IT courses
Stop be such a shy **** and enjoy your teens
Violence IS sometimes the answer

Oh and most of all don't discover MMOs a few months before your gcses :rolleyes::p
 
1) Don't touch cigarettes or drugs.
2) Don't spend the majority of your free time on a computer. Definitely not gaming.
3) Learn guitar.
4) Learn a practical martial art.
5) If you meet the girl of your dreams, go for it and don't hesitate.
6) Do a business and management degree. In Switzerland.
7) Never let fear of anything control you.

That would be my recipe for a successful life for my 12-year old self. Sigh.
 
1) when you're 16 you'll get very pally with one girl, when she stands infront of you when you're up against a wall, don't get nervous just kiss the damn woman!
2) Don't drink becks from a bottle
3) Don't start smoking
4) on your 17th birthday take a condom with you to that party, trust me!
5) Play counterstrike in 2005+2006, but after that just stop, don't go back!!!!
6) Don't buy that flat in 2007.
7) Start learning the guitar, you'll regret not having done so later in life!
8) Don't spend 3 months chatting to that pretty girl from Luxembourg, she's a ****
9) Focus in college, don't drift off with the noisy bunch that spend their time playing worms.

10 - now ignore everything i've just said, because now that i've said it you're expecting it, i've already changed the course of the future, the butterfly effect began the moment I appeared, the only thing that isn't likely to change are last weeks lottery numbers so here you go....

1) MTFU, dont let people walk over you at school.
2) talk to her, you know who i mean, she feels the same way but when you finally do briefly hook up itll be too late and wont make it out of an awkward friend thing.
3) when your first true love goes off with a "mate" dont spend a year wallowing in self pitty. and if you do still do that then dont turn down the advances of her mate who had a reputation for being filth.
4) dont hook back up with the mental you dated at school, yes she could suck start a leaf blower but its really not worth the bunny boiler stuff.
5) dont get a mortgate 3 months before sleeping with your GF best mate. im not saying dont sleep with her though (fantastic fake boobs, youll REALLY enjoy that night).
6) dont get in to so much debt.
 
Sorry to be a hippy, but I wouldnt say anything - the dumb things (there have been plenty) I've done made me who I am and if these things were to have changed, my daughter would not have been born.
 
Dont get kicked out of school and college at 14. Mind you, im doing better than most of them what stayed on :p

But seriously, i wish i got some qualifications and gone to uni.
 
Obvious boring answers:

- Buy shares in Apple in ~1996
- Invent Facebook as soon as you learn how to program
- Use X numbers for Euromillions on Y date

More personal:

- Do Computer Science at Uni, not Software Engineering
- Fast cars are cool, but house prices are gonna go up mentally fast while you're enjoying them. Buy a house when you leave Uni instead.
- Don't be such an arrogant d*** at college, treat that redhead you end up sleeping with who idolised you much better (still feel bad about this one today)

edit: Fixed future tense

I would say:
  • Work harder and don’t be lazy at school.
  • Don’t try that architecture degree, you wont like it
  • Keep on with football. You can be average and earn loads of cash (in the 80s it wasn’t the same massive pay as now)
  • Buy shares in Apple and Google!
  • Don’t start smoking ciggies. You will struggle to stop!
  • Manchester United will get better (even great), but you will get called a Glory Hunter
  • Don’t let your M&D swap your bmx for a racing bike. They aren’t any fun!
  • Maybe don’t lose the whole 90s being off your face all the time. Kirsty would have kept with you if you weren’t off it all the time.
  • Don’t compare your manhood to those massive ones in porn films! Most men’s meat isn’t 14”! ;)
  • Don’t dump Jenny because she was a bit annoying. She was the fittest bird you will ever go out with (and dirtiest). Also, all women are a bit annoying, so stick with the beautiful annoying ones!
  • Buy as many houses as possible before the housing boom after Y2k
  • Make the most of your dad before he gets too ill
  • You are better looking than you think you are!
  • Make sure you aren’t in when the old bill came knocking that time
And the most important!!!!
  • Don’t sell all your Star Wars for £10 to that kid over the road (actually its probably the one above ;))
