Thought it might be interesting to put this up, as there's lots of fabulous young females navigating the murky waters we all once have on this app.

Answer

Save. Save. Save. I look back at how much money I wasted and think about how I could have a nice downpayment for a house right now. Even if it's just a little at a time, save something!

Answer

You're worth so much more than what you're willing to put up with. Value yourself and don't accept anything less than what your worth

Answer

Wait to get a credit card 😓

Answer

I would say to value and respect myself more . And I am important and worthy of being loved , and I don't need to go out of my way to make men love me by doing not so respectable things . I would say to stay strong and focus on school and building a good life for myself instead of focusing so much on getting attention from boys . I would tell myself that it will be okay and it wasnt my fault when I was raped the multiple times it happened . I would tell myself to get help right away instead of bottling it up inside for years and allowing it to completely demolish my self love and worth. I would tell myself to stand my ground in everything. Life is too short to give in to something that doesn't bring you happiness .

Answer

Eat! Love yourself! This is a moment in a lifetime! I almost died because of complications in my body from anorexia. I think at most I want to go back and hug myself and tell her that she may not be loved now but one day she will have so many people that love and adore her!

Answer

Follow with your initial instinct for college. I should of stuck with my planned major smfh. I switched majors and went back to the original so I have 70 useless units now. Gotta start all over again sigh.

Answer

Don't get lazy and play video game, all the weight i worked hard to lose would just fall back on. Don't be in a hurry to have kid's; go back to college get your nursing degree, have a nice home and then have kid's. I had my first when I was 22 he was an oops but we weren't being careful, had my second at 25 we wanted anotber so my son had a sibling. I have a good job working for my city but I want a better one; I want my kids to be well off not just ok.

Answer

If I could go back, id tell myself to slow down. It's okay to not have everyone like you, take time to evaluate why their approval meant anything to me at all. Spend more time listening to my great grandma, and learning from her. Don't give my mom and dad such a hard time, they love and support you more than anyone in the world. Find time to be alone, and figure yourself out. Don't take that highschool boyfriend who's in a band, too seriously, one day that won't be cool anymore.
