What would you say to your 15 year old self?

[CatherineHMumsnet]

Mumsnet's 15th birthday is fast approaching (what'll we WEAR?). And that put those of us at MNHQ to thinking - if, by the magic of some time travelling device, we could speak to our 15-year-old selves - what words of wisdom would we impart?

This thread is a year old. Although I do get that the subject matter is timeless.

You can't solve your parents' problems. There is nothing you can do to stop your mother from being an alcoholic.

Enjoy your own life. Really go for what you want. Don't worry about whether you are good enough. You will be good enough if you work hard and think positively.

Ignore your parents, go out less, work harder & go to university. Don't assume that just because no women in your family work you won't work when you have children and will only be working as a stop gap until you marry. Mainly ignore your parents & listen to the teachers at school.

Id say don't marry the first boy who shows an interest in you! See the world , have fun and worry about boys later
