like and subscribe right now or else this will be in your bed tonight our /oscar edit by planet reddit if you could talk to your 15 year old self for one minute what would you say I don't want to talk to that guy he's insufferable I second this communicating with my 15 year old self and trying teach him a life lesson or something would prove to be impossibly frustrating and ineffective because that dumb little [ __ ] doesn't yet have the capacity to learn what I'm trying to tell him but I'd tell him that yes he really would get this fat then prove my identity by telling him something only he knows I'd likely be flustered but pay attention the rest would be easy starting at 15 I always carried around a small notebook pen $19.99 giver quest notes and plans I'd tell him to buy that $100 of Bitcoin when it was less than $1 per coin that his dad convinced him not to which would cover about 20 seconds the rest would be lottery numbers for a few of the bigger ones which I'd make him write down and a few long-term stocks to invest in I'd also tell him to fund plague prevention measures around the world especially a few key locations in 2019 at this point I'd have an old fixed up US surplus bunker with a few million USD of supplies and survival stuff I wouldn't have to tell him to do that I've wanted that sort of thing since I was eight this I like this have an upvote you beach invest in a company named Amazon I was 15 in 1988 imagine what I could do with Microsoft then Apple then Amazon and Google but you know my sisters and parents all are alive and well today and I have a niece and three nephews I change everyone's lives and certainly if nothing else my sisters would have conceived at a slightly different times or married someone else from the country club or whatever what if my dad drives a Ferrari off a cliff in 1999 and I have to live 21 years knowing that for sure my parents would have been grandparents it's alive and happy with money all the money be worth that time travel sucks just invest secretly and once everyone is born again give them all the money but what if you accidentally throw something off just slightly and one kid is just a little off of what you know could have been and you're stuck with almost Ricci hey give me your pocket money hey give me your hair line hey give me your waist line probably not something you want to say to a fifteen year old you are going to marry that hottie sitting next to you in geometry class make your past self so over confident that they are cup their future plot twist the icig married to that hot girl because he didn't have any confidence now he will bootstrap paradox intensifies that expensive college you're thinking about will relegate you to near poverty for decades you dumb little lark alternatively if you just stuck with your physical therapist track you would have had the world at your fingertips but now you are just a rally sharp rat have tell that to my wife who paid almost 180 thousand dollars for a PT degree that pays sixty thousand dollars a year cheap college plus profitable major anthill golden 9k a year tuition prob 20k all-in cost per year make 120 K per year just turned 20 for college absolutely worth it stop obsessing over that boy he doesn't matter and never will work her behind off in school don't be the person who depends on another person I find it really remarkable how so often in these kind of threads women will tell their younger selves a cough boys or a cough insert specific boy and guys will tell the opposite like treat her better or don't be scared to ask her out cause apps what redditors upvote nothing more not les Goodell confirmation bias while I'm 14 so I'd probably ask how high school is going while I'm 14 so I'd probably ask how high school lockdown is going I'm 15 so I guess I just talked to myself and man that would be horrible lol me too I would probably tell to keep his D at his parents are you a dad no buddies are walking as TD o H age fair enough Dead is going to die next year talk to him more about his family history I'm sorry for your loss thank you for the condolences it was a long time ago it will be the 40th anniversary of his death later this year died from stomach cancer within four months of finding out he had it if you smoked try your best to quit for the love of God realize how attractive you are it won't last forever as a 15 year old this makes me way too worried oh you misunderstood Opie was attractive back then yeah I understood what he meant but thanks for the clarification anyways I was just worried over the fact that this is it my body won't get better than it already is and the only change would be a decline in attractiveness I guess awful things to waste energy worrying about attractiveness shouldn't be it as I can not change it and can only change my attitude towards it still trying my best and staying hopeful though get out of your friendships those people are toxic and you don't know then anything talk about your traumas now demand you get help from your parents now not later and also I love you dude it's gonna work out nice buckle up baron clone did ship get real after 15 for you just got depressed for a little nothing too serious just thought telling that to my 15 year old self would be pretty funny I laughed when I read your OC it's completely okay but you are really gay it's going to suck really bad but you are bipolar ask your parents about going to therapy don't go to college your brother is worse off than you think and he's going to cause immense harm trust your instincts you're powerless and powerful and it will never make sense don't drink alcohol on these specific dates sorry to hear sounds like you had some rough times as a youngin I hope you are doing better now we except for the gay part and bipolars PTSD and BPD for me but everything else is the same thing I would say I'd say to me that girl over there it's sucking pretty enjoy all the kisses she will give you cause she'll break your heart sorry to hear that bro thanks bro you know that's life I have to listen to Sinatra now thanks I don't think there's anything I can say for only a minute to my 15 year old so that would change anything now I can imagine listen to any I am you from the future buy Bitcoin for the love of my Bitcoin as much as you can also don't try to woo Tatiana go for her friend she's more fun don't buy Bitcoin mine it for free on your mom's laptop or something the difficulty of mining bits going back then was so damn easy that a Core 2 Duo running while you're a school and moms at work could net dozens or maybe a hundred coins and that's just eight hours on almost no power repeat for a year and you'd be up at 25,000 coins which you could get approximately eighteen thousand five hundred dollars for if you adjust for volume congratulations you now have nearly five hundred million dollars have fun at tax time yep she would not have listened to me please don't go on that diet it will become an eating disorder that will destroy the next five years of your life I'm on the brink of an EP any advice please edit Thanks to everyone who answered three you guys are amazing oh man seek out a therapist or any online resources you can I'm 20 my IDI has only ended up ruining my metabolism and my fertility and bones my hair fell out for yours I've missed out on relationships and got abused by my parents over it and has inevitably made me a higher weight than if I never restricted at all oh and people died from their AIDS don't think it won't happen to you I would kill just to be able to eat normally it's not worth it I don't know how far in you are but talk to people about it get help I know it's cliche but just eat a needy will not make you happier and there are better ways to cope my IDI is the reason I still live at home have a few friends and no relationship and a healthy weight but still barely eat and have wasted so much money on the therapy I didn't get soon enough thanks for the advice don't worry I'm not far in but I constantly think about not eating for an entire day then binge at the end and feel miserable I'll seek help before it gets too bad the next 10 years are going to be the toughest of your life you're going to move overseas despite your pleas to your parents you are going to live in a small town until you

cigarettes and don't try LSD ever what happened asking as someone who also did LSD at 15 lol I actually didn't try it until my mid-twenties but due to an unhealthy oppressive Christian upbringing and
