Write a letter to yourself.

[Susan Sarandon]

Write a letter to yourself three years ago from your current self.

Dear 16 year-old Meg,

Don't become a staff reviewer for Punknews. Everybody hates you and will make you feel bad about everything that you write. Also, don't drive to Long Island on a whim. Say no to the birth control patch.. you'll gain 10 pounds and become a cow. And don't gauge your ears. They'll end up looking like droopy pornstar anuses.

Love,
18 year-old Meg

Dear 17 year old Mark,

Enjoy this year. The school year will contain the most sex that you'll ever have. Summer will be non-stop partying before college starts. Everything will change after that.

Love 19 year old Mark

Hey Paul

Don't stress about high school. No one gives a shit that you got a C on your AP Chem test. Drama in high school is a joke; just wait until you get to college. Listen to some fucking better music.

Oh and invest in some MySpace stock.

[Pat Marquez]

Dear 16 yr old Pat,

Do good in school so your parents have one less exuse not to support the things you want to do (like sending you to college) .. Stop assuming that everyone is out to ruin your life. Don't automatically believe that someone is being dishonest with you. Keep your jobs for more then three months, and learn how to save money, because your parents won't give you any.. they think you only want hand outs. Read more. Be nicer. uhmmmmm don't get AIDS ( just kidding, you won't get AIDS)

Love,

The 19 yr old Pat.

2 or 3 years.. don't much matter.

[_illusive]

dear 17 year old me,
in the next coming year or so, you'll lose alot of people. but you'll gain just as many so dont stress. dont worry about guys, cuz you're going to find a great one. get birth control, or you'll have the biggest scare of your life. make sure you decide what you want to do for college. otherwise, you'll be stuck at this crummy job and you'll feel like your life is going nowhere. but dont worry. things will all fall into place.

Dear 18 year old Kara,

Be prepared for some of the best soccer seasons of your life, don't worry, you're not going to sit the bench. Also, get your heart ready to fall insanely in love with the last person you would ever expect. It's going to be a bumpy road, so you'll need to be strong. Be happy that you're going to find the one thing that you've always wanted in your life. Oh and if someone suggests playing for this soccer team called the Fort Wayne Fever, DON'T DO IT!

Love,
21 year old Kara

[Jra1]

dear 15yr old john.

rather than bunking school and making yourself into a twat around the teachers, work a bit and actually do well in school... and later on in college, it'll make things alot easier for me.

also, you'll soon meet a really amazing girl, avoid her like the plague... you'll thank me later

Aww, why do you care what the kids at pno think? Your reviews aren't bad (although I can't say I always agree with them) so who cares? Half the kids that bitch on the forums there have questionable taste/intelligences anyways.

[Vanity__Dearest]

dear 18 year old matt.

try to talk to more people about what you enjoy instead of flying off the handle. don't go to college for a year, and just make yourself happy. oh, and don't think that 3 year relationships will always work out perfectly.
tell people exactly how you feel, and hope at 20, that you moved down the path you did a little bit more to the right.

fuck off, matt

[pUnkKid174]

Dear 13-year-old sam

this year is going to suck for you, but at the same time change your entire life. i don't know if i should tell you to watch out for yourself and not join the cutter society like you will, since that could change the outcome that has come to be me now due to those bad experiences. this year your teachers are going to be killer and you'll have a great time, besides the depression. you'll get better as you start going out and doing things more often. i wish you could start playing guitar, so i'd be so much greater now, and that you won't stop skating. you should start listening to more ska, just to lighten up your spirits when you're fourteen and some months. but i don't exactly know what to tell you, since life right now is pretty sweet i guess....i wouldn't want to change anything.

Love,
15-year-old sam

p.s. - by the end of the school year, you will be on a behaviour contract. just a heads up.

Dear 15 year old Brian,


So things didn't work out with Tanza, but don't worry, a more spectacular girl will come your way. You're going to grow up a lot. Take everything at face value. Get out there, believe in yourself. In three years you still won't have very much armpit hair, but more than you've got now. The Starting Line isn't THAT good. And for god's sake, tune your fucking guitar. Listening to these recordings of you playing is painful to the ear.

Love, 18.75 year old Brian

[theESCO]

I'm going back even further.

Dear 14 year old Josh,

Please god don't go to that party at the Armory, it will ruin your life. Is ecstasy really that cool anyway? In two years, your gonna be a dust head and be blowing a ton of coke, just so ya know. You might want to think twice about that too. And in a year when you meet that girl from Maine, yea, you probably shouldn't run off with her either. Your girlfriend loves you and your gonna be kicking yourself in the face for leaving her.

Don' be an idiot,
20 year old Josh


p.s. - you look fucking stupid in those UFO pants..so stop wearing them. Ravers are silly.



(actually, on second though, i don't regret the whole drug/rave thing...a lot of good memories.)

Dear 18 year old Rick,

dear 16 year old kyle,

don't date a pop star unless you want to get kicked out of her band and don't ever fucking leave her for anyone, because you're an idiot, and you'll be confused for a long fucking time.

ps. kick greg in the nuts now, hes not your friend, and he'll stab you in the back the first chance he gets.

dear 16-year-old riley,

keep working hard in school...it will pay off. when it comes time to look at colleges, don't go to depauw. no matter how nice it may look, it won't look so pretty once you get there. apply to ball state. i know you'll be nervous about that because everyone thinks you'll be going there for the wrong reasons, but you'll save yourself a lot of stress in the end. an amazing guy is going to come along pretty soon and, no matter what you think at first, you are going to fall in love with him. it's not going to be easy, and his family is going to put some stress on you, but it will be worth it (and no matter how stressed they make you, you'll still love them like a second family). don't stress over the minnesota thing, because it's not going to happen. do stress over the texas thing, because it's going to happen. don't work at camp lakeview after senior year...it will kill some of your love for it. eat healthy and work out...it works quite well.

love, 19-yr-old riley

[ajackwithoneeye]

I'm also going back further.

Dear 13 Year Old Greg,

Give up on that girl, she's married now. Don't o.d. Talk to more random people. Don't go to see X-Men 2 with everyone cause you'll get in a fight and break your arm. Stop talking to Tom and Matt, they're the biggest losers you'll ever know. Don't drink a whole bottle of cough syrup and a whole bottle of wiskey at the same time. Get a job as soon as possible and save all the money so you'll actually be able to afford a car.

- Greg

[Shoes]

Dear 13 year old Aimee

Stop smoking and quit quiting skating and stick at it cause in 2 years you're gonna have to start it all again you useless stoner. Chris is a tool so stop hanging around with him. You're not a gangsta, you don't live in the ghetto, selling weed doesn't make you badass and stop listening to Nirvana.
When you're 15 don't hit on your friend in Newquay and when your best mate gets pregnant going round her house and shouting won't make it better, it'll ruin your friendship you over zealous fool.
Also when you're 16 don't think taking large amounts of drugs will make you feel any better, it'll just screw up your eyes and your head.
But carry on writing in your journal because in 4 years it'll be so funny to read.

Love 17 year old Aimee


infact no being a wannabe gangsta is great, keep doing it

[allelish]

Dear 14 year old Francis,

You are just a slightly chubbier version of yourself in 3 years time. Next year, don't grow your hair, you'll look like a tosser. Also, stop wearing glasses, they don't make you look good. Start actually trying in school and stop editing your negative school reports on your friends computer. In three years time, you still won't have pubes.

All the best, Love 17 year old Francis

[Andy]

Dear Andy

Don't you go changing.

You have absolutely no outlook on life, and this will be the year that you start to get to the depressed Sam that is now, and will begin to see that you will get almost no pussy in middle school and will fuck up lots of relationships. And you know that kid Johnny, Steve, and them...you wont be friends with them anymore.

dear 16-year-old Whitney,

fuck highschool. you will end up not talking to those bitches after graduation until over a year later. and then you'll end up sitting at a "party" listening to shitty stories about everything that went on while you weren't home. dump that asshole you're with and start going out with that other kid. he's way better for you anyway. quit your job, find a new one. college actually IS better then highschool, don't drive in January snowstorms ('tis dangerous...), and give up on ever trying to rekindle old friendships. it won't work.

oh, and give up on your dad. he will always be an asshole. he'll end up leaving your house anyway, not coming back for days, having an affair, and deciding your boyfriend is now your legal guardian. so just to warn you, you might as well stop caring now.

LOVE,
Whitney.

wow. that actually felt pretty good to write.
