The Past

[ellen_16]

If you saw yourself at the age of 17, what would you tell you that you didn't know now?

[porfavour]

It wouldn't matter what advice I or anyone else gave me at 17, I thought I knew it all so wouldnt have taken any notice. I'm 45 now and still dont take advice, unless I've paid for it.

[porfavour]

Bit flippant, sorry.
Wish I'd thought about www.
Registered 21st century Fox
Stayed on at school, which would have saved years of night-school.
Kept all my old toys, which are now valuable, because morons like me have made them rare.
Infact, wish I'd kept a diary, it would be lovely to read it now, oh to be 17 again!

[naz_nomad]

[-Zorro-]

I would have told myself not to bother studying all them years

[cliffsweb]

to hold on to good friends and not lose contact with them,
to get qualifications and get a proper career early on, and to marry my first true love.

Sew those wild oats boy!

[oopsydoopsy]

never trust anyone.

[steviep165]

bizarre coincidence, i have a foto of me when i was 17 on my msn.
and i'd tell him not to grow his hair long again, keep it short boy!

[spurslady]

That the contraception I was using wasn't going to work properly and I would have 3 kids by the time I was 25.

[unruliejulie]

Too much for me to mention on here, but we know it all at 17 anyway dont we?, so no doubt i wouldnt have listened to myself anyway! ;-)

Don't get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!x

[angel-cake]

You may not think you're attractive, but all those men actually think you are!!

[Pootle]

Don't go to university and spend the next eight years paying off thousands of pounds of stupid debts; it won't get you anyf urther. Do a two year course in business management, learn a language and that should be enough to get you started. Then move to Europe and have a lot of fun!

[Pippa68]

Emigrate at the earliest opportunity.

[soozmac]

stop eating sweets! and don't talk to that Austrian guy you'll meet in the Misson in Edinburgh, no matter how cute he is - it'll only end in tears. Yours, mainly.
