How would you react to your self as a teenager? I would try not to be rude or mean and try to be understanding. I was a real brat back then. I have to work on my behavior but I have come a long way. I think it would be interesting to see what others think about meeting their teenage self.
I dont think ive changed much. Sure i was more emotional, would burst out of anger or excitement. Maybe less polote as id be more honest about what i thought. But realistically i still have the same beliefs, i might just be less obvious about it. Overall i love teenagers, they love and hate things and theyre passionate about both.
I Would Just Shake My Head In Disbelief And Say......He's Young...Dumb...And Full Of Cum..... Cheers Glen.
I'd give myself the bestest advice I'd have ever heard. I'd grab my teenage self by the shoulders and say "Irm, you stay true to yourself, don't you ever change! Don't let them change you!" and then we'd have beers.
I'd try to give myself some useful advice. A lot of parents don't seem to remember what it was like to be a teenager, and have little sympathy for them and the unique struggles and concerns they have. Sure, they can be assholes too, but I think a lot of that is in reaction to being frustrated and not getting the advice and empathy they need. I wouldn't beat m y younger self over the head with an onslaught of advice, but rather try to be friendly and let the info get out there to be used or not according to my younger self's best judgment. I know a lot of teens and they're generally very nice people in very tricky situations. I'd want to be understanding and helpful if I could.
To see myself, I don't know what I'd do. I was on drugs. I guess nowadays I typically steer clear. I would decidedly provide a wide berth...
I'd give myself supremely awesome advice & then feel sad that my younger self almost certainly wouldn't take said advice onboard!
I feel like basically the same person, just with more responsibilities. I don't think i've changed all that much. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing I think its more interesting to think about what teenage me would think about grown up me. Did i turn out the way teenage me had hoped?
i thought you said "i would try to beat my teenage self off" and couldn't figure out why anyone would want to do that. then i thought about the people who make one post here and disappear, and that would probably be how most of them would answer.
Avoidance. I was pretty messed up and depressed during those years. In desperate need of a real friend. But it all turned out to be the biggest blessing in disguise thus far.
I'd tell myself to stay on course. And now for a gratuitous public service announcement regarding teen pregnancy
