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."

This.

Don’t have kids. Have dogs instead.

Please just love yourself

Believe the good stuff and thrive.

Buy bitcoin in 2010, sell 2023

Wait for a better man

Boys not needed, know your worth

You look amazing, even your legs

Don't wear your gran's watch out.

Get a good haircut.

No, no I was upset for you not me. I am sorry for your loss, however long ago. Bless you and thank you 💫

Exercise, less kids, kiss them all

Don't procrastinate.

Fall in love slowly and carefully.

I am so sorry it has been so gruelling and awful for you. Wishing you peace and joy.

Say yes to the lovely cameraman.

Do Medicine at uni.

Don't go out on Charlotte's birthday.

Don't be lazy, shy or fat.

Work harder. Choose subjects you like.

Actually it just gets worse.

Do not start smoking. You're amazing.

Not everyone has to like you.

Don’t be sucked in and get out while you can.
