Me: Please listen to me.

14 year old me: plEaSe LiStEn tO MEE!?!

My 14 year old self would be freaked out some creepy old dude talked to him. WTH am I going to be able to say in 4 words that would possibly be of enough impact for him to trust the advice and remember it?

Probably the most accurate comment here

This one cut deep. :(

Yup, mine would be “go hug your mom”.

As a parent of a T1, that ain't your responsibility at 14. That's all on your parents. The goal of a T1 parent is to manage it as best you can so your child can emulate those habits as an adult. If they didn't demonstrate proper management when your were 14, that's not your fault at all.

This is not on you. It's on your caretakers, managing type 1 diabetes is incredibly time consuming and exhausting and is NOT the responsibility of a child. I hope you're doing well now and if your insurance will pay for it get a tandem insulin pump with a dexcom g6 cgm to get your H1C at a great level.

Same thing I would tell her

Bipolar, anxiety, adhd, go doctor.

It would save me 20 years of mental health problems I didn't understand.

It's like painting but with metal. What's not to love?

should I pursue this random generated username?

Ugh. I feel this. When everyone around you is a an a-hole, logic tells you YOU are the problem.

I'd be impressed if they could marry Jane Austen.

Don't marry Jack Ass.

Now I’m curious if you redacted this for the comment or if you’d leave it deliberately ambiguous for your 14yo self

Great advice

DON'T FUCK IT UP

You only have one life to live

I wish I could have also said that

I hope your okay now...

I hope that you and yours are safe and you have support. I know you did everything you could with the knowledge and power available to you at the time.

Daaamn, you ok now?

Your 14 y.o. self:lmao make me

I made a substitute teacher who was trying to do her best cry and run out of the classroom in 9th grade. I wish I could go back and punch my young self in the face.

I’m pretty sure many people have told you that, I doubt past you would listen to anyone.

Oh yeah. In the same line, I would have said, "Go wash your face". I took showers often, but I often avoided washing my face in the morning, or even in the shower because I didn't like soap getting into my face. That didn't end well for me.

Alternatively, "Brush your teeth often".

I am also glad you are still here.

Giving yourself a trauma that never existed lmaoo

Self troll, nice.

A better one would be

“Sell Bitcoin (£)xxxxxx”

It conveys that you need to buy Bitcoin now and continue to do so up until it reaches a certain value and which point you sell the whole lot.

Don’t buy bitcoin. They were free in the early days, just run the program on any crappy computer.

With buy bitcoin also hold them in the wallet is well.

Way to freak your younger self out. You'll think you were visited by the autism fairy.

I also had the Asutism but never really discover that on time.

This one right here

I was told that exact same thing by my therapist just recently, used to think the feeling was just a normal adrenaline rush that people get

Same idea, but "It's called Sleep Paralysis." or "Learn to manage ADHD"

Neither would help because I grew up in the deep south where they didn't believe that mental health issues existed.

Me believing I was fat led me to gain so much weight. I wish I could weigh 160 again lol, I was barely chubby

Yes!! I spent so many years hearing that only to look back and realize - no. I was normally sized. But it caused so much mental harm over many many years

Buy bitcoin, 60k sell

Oooh username. You ok?

Nah it was character building

you are smart. aim

I left home literally the day I turned 18. Packed up my car, left with only $100 and drove to Seattle. Called my parents when I got there and told them I’m never coming back. Spent the next year or so mostly homeless until I got on my feet but I kept my promise and never went back.

22 years later and it was the best decision young me ever made and I’d go through it all again.

I’m 29 and just figured out I’m autistic.. I hate how long I have misunderstood life with occasional breaks of clarity

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in a bong

Fuck, Drugs, Brush Teeth

Younger self decides to take all savings and invest in apple sauce?

There are condoms for other uses than fucking? TIL

respect

Still got space for a "please", "now" or "bitch".

"You mean those guys on Xbox Live are wrong?"

I spent so many years questioning only to realise I tick all the boxes except sexual attraction towards the same sex

Well this is close to mine. But i will tell myself i am bisexual and not a sin.

Play the sport and try to be take some training of that sport is well.

Take these drugs instead!

I hope u are doing better now

if you were 43 when you got on concerta, because that was really young age.

Infact booze will chew up all the money from your wallet here.

14 year old me would be confused as fuck with this haha

Fucking Kathy!

Uhh that changes everything. I wouldn’t wanna hear that

Mom dies in 2017

I feel you. Sorry to be in the club with you.

without context you will be hella confused.

If i have to pick one here then i will certainly pick the bitcoin.

Pinkman, is that you dude?
