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."

It'll work out in the end!

Don't get married until you are at least 26

People like you as you are

Believe in yourself, you are amazing!

I tell dd this all the time!

You'll never feel love so strong.

Pay a little bit more attention

No drugs and no tattoos please!

You are good enough, be you

Ditto

To stay away from older men

Get autism diagnosis.

Sorry @LauderSyme I didn't mean to upset anyone. I was just a typical teen, didn't bother saying goodbye, and I didn't realise it would be the last time I saw him.

Don't work with the public, ever.

Go to uni, don’t use sunbeds

Aww 😔

Don't take drugs. Buy property early

Forgive. Don't do medicine. Exercise now.

Never trust boys.

Take more risks. Don’t fear love.

You were groomed, tell the police

Yes, this. Life's not perfect but it IS OK and its way better than I could have imagined it being when I was 16.

I felt a bit blah earlier today but this has cheered me right up!

Just shag him - he’s really great!

You could have beaten the hyperemesis ( termination that I regret terribly)

Don't marry the first to ask.

You get exactly what you want 😊
