I'd warn myself about certain people. Oh, and I'd tell myself not to switch schools when mom gets a new job in a new school and stay in the one I'd always been in. It would make my life a lot simpler.

Violet Lace 01-17-2008 03:16 PM

I'd tell myself to actually do my homework for once.

I think I'd rather to talk to my 7th grade self though. I'd tell myself to actually stand up for myself, and I'd tell myself that there are worse things in the world than people thinking that you're stubborn and misguided. For example, people thinking you believe something you don't.

And I'd tell myself to brush my teeth, because getting cavities filled isn't fun.

s w e e t 01-17-2008 03:24 PM

er..i have a lot to say...but the most that i would wanna say would be..
- stop eating too much...
- listen to your mum, wear shoesssss D< ( because my feet ish big D; )
- dont tap your fingers, u'll regret it.. ( my fingers are big in the middle D; )

If I could go back in time I'd tell myself to stay active and get healthy as fast as possible. I'd tell myself to ignore all the mean things anyone will ever say to me and think of it as dirt.

Krystyne 01-17-2008 04:24 PM

I wouldn't tell my third-grade self anything; she was FAR more interested in writing Mario stories than planning for the future. XD

I guess, though, if I could get her to listen, I'd tell her to work on her math more...

♥Quixotic♥Melody♥ 01-17-2008 04:26 PM

I'd go back and tell myself "Go for it. You'll regret it if you don't later."
That applies to several relationship matters that I could've used that advice for though...
Either that or I'd go into the future first if I could somehow...and see if it really was for the better in the long run.

Sagitar 01-17-2008 05:09 PM

uhh.. nothing comes to my mind. there isn't any big mistake in my mind that I would like to erase. not yet atleast.

Irised 01-17-2008 09:32 PM

I'd tell myself to keep working hard, because it's all worth it in the end, and it really does reap benefits. I'd also tell myself to stop eating so much, and to get lots of exercise. Not to give up karate (even though I'm currently taking Kung Fu), and to practice my piano and to stop losing faith in myself so easily. I'd tell myself that it all works out in the end.

Because it does.

Reiui 01-17-2008 11:29 PM

I would tell myself, "I'm from the future! Do go to that school! Yea! Not the one you're in now! :D"....

Yeah 01-18-2008 12:00 AM

I would tell myself to stay in school and go to college, then I would tell myself not to marry Paul.

Karine 01-18-2008 12:06 AM

i would punch a 'friend' of mine that is being a jerk to me now. xD

Oh, and actually learn my timetables, since i took the easy way out. xD;;;

Mynx 01-18-2008 12:24 AM

I'd probably tell myself...
hmm...
hard one!. I'd tell myself to not do things that have damaged my body so far, or will damage it in the future.
Though, I'm only 15, almost 16 so I'm sure everything will heal.
no, i know what you're thinking, i don't cut D: i'm faaaar from emo.
Things like... running into walls, tripping on things, getting scraped, eating oh so delicious things that are horribly bad for you.
I want to live as long as I can :D

logic 01-18-2008 02:06 AM

id tell myself to be more gutsy, i missed out on a lot because i was too comfortable in what i was given

silent.assassin 01-18-2008 04:28 AM

hehe, I think I would've slapped myself. And my third grade self would probably stare at my eight-grade self in disbelief. And then...I suppose my third-grade self would cry. I was a crybaby back then, kinda hopeless...

I think I would most likely tell my younger self to: "GET A LIFE". Yep, telling myself to get a life helps. A lot. Doesn't everybody? :P

Ling 01-18-2008 01:35 PM

If I could go back to a third grade me I'd tell myself not to worry about high school, its only as bad as you make it.

However, if I were to choose a period to go back to I'd go back to when I was about 12 or 13 and tell myself to take risks and not obey everything my parents told me, especially in relation to dating.

[L]ove[H]ate 01-18-2008 03:17 PM

I would tell myself guys aren't everything in life and I need to move on from my first love. =[

Lady Monoki 01-18-2008 04:24 PM

It would be a tough decision weather to tell myself anything. I like the person I am now and if I changed anything I might not meet the people I love today. The hard times have molded me into who I am today and the good times kept my hope alive. I guess if I told myself anything it would have to be several things not only to improve myself but my family around me.

First of, always trust your gut and if it’s talking to you, listen and listen closely it’s always right and will help get us out of more trouble then you could ever imagine. Start listening especially closely in 4th grade and avoid that stupid dog. It bites and it bites hard. I would also tell myself to enjoy child hood but that doesn’t mean stop caring about grades, mom was right they make a difference for the future.

For mom’s sake, please don’t so hard on everyone mom brings home. She loves us and always will and no man will ever take her away from us tormenting them until they run away crying isn’t the way. Give them a chance and trust your gut and if it still screams he must die put glue on their steering wheel in their car. It’s rather amusing to watch them beat their heads because they are stuck. I see her now by herself and feel so sad knowing everyone she brought home left because of me.

As for our brother, don’t be so hard on him. I know its fun to pick on him and torture him because your bigger and there is nothing he can do about it but don’t. Trust me when he gets older he gets much bigger and way stronger. You will find out he is be your best friend of all and you can trust him to be there for you no matter what. Oh and tell him the water IS deep so don’t jump in if he can’t swim. Neither can you so make sure he doesn’t jump in, it isn’t fun putting him on your shoulders so he can breath while you hold your breath.

The most important advice I would give myself is never give up on life. Yes it will be hard watching you’re so called friends forgetting and leaving you behind because they have more opportunities, but keep your chin up and don’t give in. When your chance to show everyone what we can do comes do not forget those you love and cherish those who stuck by your side. They where there for the worst times they will be there for you if you ever fall again, reaching out there hand to help you up.

I'd tell myself to stop wasting time and do something productive... not that I'd listen to myself, I don't think. o.o

r to the core 01-18-2008 07:16 PM


I would tell myself that hard days come ahead, but don't give up. And I would tell myself to hold onto my friends because we'll slowly start to drift apart.

orlybirdy 01-18-2008 07:29 PM

I could spout something about how telling myself anything might keep me from getting to where I am now--which is true and valid--but there are definitely a few things I'd go for. Beware, these are depressing. I made them smaller because of that.

1. Tell the police about E. Lying to protect him doesn't help, it just makes things worse and everyone ends up horribly unhappy with the situation.

2. Stay away from J. He will attempt to rape you and partially succeed.

3. Warn Simon--he is going to develop Leukemia by his 19th birthday. If they catch it too late to successfully treat him, he will kill himself.

4. Stay away from alcohol. You will become addicted. You eventually go on the wagon, but the years of your life while drinking are some of the worst of your life.


I don't really wish I were anywhere else in my life right now, as I'm happily engaged and moving into my own place next month, but these four things combined to make my life a living hell for a long time, and if they could be avoided, by all means they should be. Little did my third grade self know...

M i n u x e 01-18-2008 08:31 PM

Luckily my life hasn't been filled with problems so far. I have only had a few bad experiences with friends. If I did tell my grade 3 self something it would be that I would be moving to a new house and school next year. Once I am at the new school I shouldn't befriend the two girls that I did because all they will do is take advantage of me. I will also warn my grade 3 self that people in that new school are very different from the people in the school I was at. Plus, I would tell myself to cherish my current friends.
Also... I will tell my grade 3 self that I will grow taller later on because as a child I was always sad that I was so short.

mystic kiwi 01-19-2008 01:52 AM

I wouldn’t tell myself anything. I don’t want to change anything about my life because I believe that everything happens for a reason. I’m pretty happy with the person I am today and I would never want to change that.

Runoc Xiuhcoatl 01-19-2008 01:53 AM

Oh, I'd tell myself to not go out with that bastard that broke my heart over a million times. I'd tell myself to be happier and not judge others in the future. Boy, that'd be great! :D

Rainiy 01-19-2008 01:57 AM

In the third grade? xD I'd tell myself... To loosen up, enjoy life -- take advantage of every moment... Date more, always strive for the betterment of self~ :3

And when you run across a chick named _____ in Washington, just say no. It will be more drama and pain and heartbreak than it's worth xD;

tehrin 01-19-2008 06:02 AM

I'd tell myself to concentrate on my art, and nothing but that. And to not ever lose sight or interest in my goal of being an animator. I did for a long time, and there was a long period where I didn't draw... so my development just came to a halt when I was in high school.

I'd also tell myself to not spend so much energy being concerned with boys, and that being in a relationship does not make someone a worthy human being.

I'd also tell myself to take the ACT/SAT and go SCAD or some animation school out in California. Otherwise, you'll be slaving away at Sears trying to pressure people into getting into debt by applying for credit cards. x_o
