I think most of us are familiar with the concept of "What I would tell my younger self."
Well, for me, that's so many things I can't keep track.
So, any time you think of something you wish you'd known as a young person, or something you wish you could go back and tell yourself, post it here!

I'll start...
Hey younger self, don't worry about feeling like a weirdo. Everyone your age feels like a weirdo. Literally. Everyone.

Mine would be " Be proud of yourself and what you can become. Don't let others put you down, it is their problem if they don't 'get' you."

...follow your dreams, don't let others discourage you. Remain strong and convicted to achieve what you want.

I love it @Beingme2017
Can you imagine how different adolescence would be if you knew who you were and what you needed and were completely ok with that?

I love this idea @Ngaio-RO. I'd have a lot of things to say too
One of mine would be "the whole world is not against you. there will be key people who come across your path who believe in you - you've got to take the risk and believe the things the say about you, even if you don't see it in yourself. they will be pivotal moments"
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
