Advice you would give to your 15 year old self

[Hardy]

Don't believe the priests. Listen to your parents. They know more than you think.

[seafoid]

If they can't explain it to you , don't believe them

[leenie]

Don't be so obsessed with westlife..

One day one of them will be entering the Eurovision

I'd tell the 15 year old to leave a note for the 25 year old. He was the one that needed sorted out.

Be yourself and love yourself. Don't give a toss what anyone thinks of you but be nice to people all the same, if you want them to be nice to you.

Soon you'll start going to nightclubs. It's ok if you don't like them. They really are shite, you're not weird for hating them. You'll meet women in other places.

Take a couple of years off from education after you finish school. Do a bit of work and a bit of travelling and go to college when you know what you really want to do.

Getting pissed out of your head and acting like an ass isn't hilarious or "mad" or "cracked" or anything like it. It's a bit pathetic and we do it in Ireland because we're afraid to express ourselves sober. You can get as much of a buzz from exercise and sport as you can from drink, drugs and fags.

That its ok to not be in the 'cool gang'.  The nerds will end up being cool.

That is so true. Nobody paid attention to X when we were in school. She hung around with a nerdy crowd and the lads were all focused on other women.
We had a reunion just before Christmas and everyone was wondering who the very attractive and radiant woman in the corner was. It was X. Life is funny.

buy a house when you get done with university - you can afford the mortgage - trust me
dont let anyone get in the way of your dreams - especially yourself - will save time later
spend more time with your grandparents

I'd tell myself and all my friends the exact opposite. Get over this very Irish and British idea that you simply must own a house ASAP.

I was paying rent in my 20s when I could have paid a mortgage. I have friends who bought houses and rented them out and in 10 years some of them will own more than 10 houses each that were paid for by renters like me! I would rather have 10 houses to sell when I'm 50 or have the rental income than be sitting with one house to my name....

Took me until late twenties to realise that even ugly c***ts can get women and it was far too late! As the man said chance your arm and a few nice ones will go for it!!! Sure you're no worse off if they don't...

Well said very good advice. Spending more time with your parents,grandparents also good advice said on here.

[trileacman]

Thought about it long and hard. Couldn't think of any that would significantly change anything.

I'll settle for " Stop worrying, you're fcuked either way ".

They all have facebook whatsapp tinder etc nowadays. It was pure graft back in the day.

Amen, Asal!

Say what you really feel. Don't feel you have to justify yourself. You're yourself, fcuk everyone else.
Expand your mind. Read more. Travel more.
Take the time to really talk to your Da and ask lots of questions. He won't always be around.

I've noticed that myself. In my year at school a few of them had role reversals in the attractiveness stakes.

Learn a musical instrument. Keep a journal. Remember anyone who never makes a mistake has never tried anything
