One message - 6 words max. - to your teenage self

[JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue]

What would you say to yourself, as a teenager, if the portal between that time and this would only allow a written message of six words maximum?

Mine would be "Go to university regardless. Forego crisps."

Get autism diagnosis. Study French

You are only responsible for you

Phone NSPCC. They will help.
Or;
One day you will feel loved.

Buy a flat with 100% mortgage.

Don't ever go on a diet

The first one, isn't the one

You are better than you think.

You don’t need to get pregnant

Do not have Catholic guilt

Start Saving For A Property NOW

Go out a bit more

Start learning piano, guitar, flute, sight-reading

Leave home now. Don't look back

Stay single. Make money. Be confident.

Can I have another shorter one?

DO NOT START SMOKING !!

Get away. Forgive yourself. Lift weights.

Stop drinking, forget Oxford, stay single

Don’t have kids with W

Choose a different degree, finish it!

Don't go out with Stephen.

Live life for you. Start pension

You can have fewer than six words if you like!

And to answer an earlier question, you'll know that the message is from your older self. Don't ask how, I haven't thought that bit through, just trust me on it.

Pensions are featuring quite highly 😅

You're as good as everyone else

It gets better

Choose a career, become proficient and THEN go to art college!
