What advice you would give to your 18-year-old self?

Girl, you have time. Don't get married at 18. Especially to a bad guy like him

Step away from the drugs and alcohol.
refuse that prom date, wear a bra when going on a rollercoaster, pee on a jellyfish sting not on a jelly stain (apologies to the waitress at Waffle House)
Sorry.

I'd tell myself to

• get better interacting w/ppl ASAP
• do summer internships at JPL & the Lincoln Labs
• start saving
• push for a PhD right away
Enjoy every moment with your mom
Dont go to that party.

Don't get so emotional about life. Instead, consider what it takes to get what you want.

Same as you. Except replace the word bad with nit wit
@Lilymoon we probably would think we didn't know what the heck we were talking about. We were young and thought what we thought

Let them walk you home. You’re not safe by yourself
Hang in there, Bexsy. My kid FINALLY called me when she was 21 and moaned, “oh, Mom! I’m you now!”

She went on to explain a 14 yr old came to school dressed scantily and provocative. “Mom!” She wailed. “I told her the outfit was INAPPROPRIATE. I swore I’d never NEVER use that phrase.”

Poor kid was broken.

Don't get married at 18 to that young lady, (not the word I want to use,) she'll just hurt you and leave you. And she did...she also left my 3 month old son with me.
IM5688 · 70-79, M
@Bexsy Yes, he did eventually realize that, but the years of damage it caused him couldn't be undone. He died in 2005 at age 30.
@IM5688 I'm REALLY sorry to hear that; I can't imagine the pain of losing a child at whatever age.
IM5688 · 70-79, M
@ElwoodBluesThanks. It's very tough to lose a child. I think we all think that the parents will go first, but not in my case. I lost my son in 2005 and my daughter in 2019. My ex-wife is still a basket case over our daughter.

Lose the sense of belonging. It'll only cause you problems.
@Sapio we all want to belong I think though. I do anyway.
Sapio · 51-55, M
@Bexsy true but when you make the choice to belong to the wrong crowd, the consequences can be harsh.
@Sapio that's very true

Easy on the nose candy you might be on this planet awhile.

It is possible for some women to actually like me. Be bold, but be cautious.

Don't waste time working for other people - start your own business now rather than later.

Give her freedom. Trust her to love you. Never let her doubt your love for her.
None, wouldn't have listened anyways and wouldn't be who I am today.
Same advice my mom gave to me when I was 18 and I didn't listen.

Look beyond the lies
Don’t be afraid to try. Have confidence in yourself. Most of what you’re worried about will turn out fine.

Just do it. It's not gonna get any better from now on. Best do it now before you're an uncle.
Take more chances while you're young.

Where were you 5 years ago when I met my lying, cheating ex-fiancee? I could've done quite well with that advice back then lol. :P

Do it afraid
But I thought you liked Bad Boys
Zonuss · 46-50, M
Be consistent. Take every opportunity that comes to you. And enjoy the ride. ☺️
