If you could write a letter to ten year old self

[neo]

What would you write? Heres mine:

Ok self! Its me, from the future! Don't fret, and don't tell the handicapped kid what gay really means! Also, ask out the red head girl. No apparent reason, just do it. Umm, don't touch that girls boobs in ninth grade, you'll get suspended. If you care. Also, don't go out on saturday to get high, cuz you'll get caught. By your mom. YES YOUR MOM. Yeah you say you won't smoke but thats just bs. Ummm, don't listen to your friend. She is worth it. Don't pass her up.

LOVE
YOU
FROM LATER ON IN LIFE

But if you altered the events which lead up to your writing of the letter, then...

[MrBadGuy]

Ah yes, Spiral has poked a serious hole in this game Neo

[Rsandee]

Hey, it's me, YOU!!
I made a complete list for all answers for tests on school, but my dog ate it so yeah....

BYE.

[Phoenixan]

...Your letter has split my sides, Neo.

To Self,
It's not your fault you spit when you talk. Don't fret about braces so much, because you're a shark, and you keep growing new teeth that interfere with that. Your kindergarten teacher will die of a stroke at 92, so feel free to laugh about her stupidity and abuse to other students, and vocalize it sooner than age 14-15. Dallas will turn out to be gay, so all the gay jokes he will make are quite ironic, so feel free to laugh about that too. And don't let others seemingly exceeding you at math get you down, because you'll get back at them later in High School.

Also, write more notes to break out of being so shy sooner than High School. It'll improve your writing and speaking skills.

~ Cheers.

Assuming that there was a way to avoid producing temporal paradoxes, I would ask my ten-year-old self to reconsider his choice of subjects, as he is not yet aware of just how bad he is at physics and chemistry.

[Rsandee]

I wasn't creative at my letter, but wth?
Holes in games are annoying btw.

Hello 10yo self, I am from the future.

I understand that right now you're obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog [you'll obsess over much better things in future, trust me] but also struggling like hell to make some good friends. Also did you ever wonder why you almost always wanted to run around alone? You probably don't know it yet, but you have this thing called Asperger's, or it could be some other mild autism, we're not sure. Either way, it's nothing to worry about, it's just that most things in life will come a bit later than your fellows. Good things come to those who wait after all.

Of course, for every good thing there is in life, there's bound to be a lot of bad things, especially when you go to secondary school. Some people there are complete assholes, but whatever you do, don't ever think about killing yourself, no matter how low things go. That's not cool, in fact, do you realise that this will not only hurt your family, but also the good people that'll enter your life later on. It might help if you don't disclose your interests, both present and future, to any of your schoolmates, because they will indeed take the mick out of you just for that.

Now for a major warning. One day, you'll be in science class and you'll have the microscopes out to look at stuff under it. Don't don't don't don't DON'T pick a strand of your hair out. You're stressed with school life as it is, and if you do, your hair will be ruined, and barely anything can be done to make it look nice again. It's like smoking [something you won't ever do, in fact you'll hate it], once you start, it's extremely difficult to stop.

OK, now that we have that settled, let's give you some pep talk. Earlier I saw that you're trying to have a best friend. Well, to be honest, she didn't really like you that much, though you get a little closer in secondary school because by then you'd have become more sensible. You'll make much better friends in the future, who appreciate you for who you really are.

OK I'm afraid I have to give you another warning. Sometime soon, you'll be getting something called "the internet". It's a good tool really - you'll find loads of cool stuff about the things you like, and if you're lucky, you'll make even more friends. However that comes with a price - there's a few people on there that are just out there to give you a really hard time. They might seem friendly, but after a while they will rip you to shreds. If anyone on the net is about to do that, stay the absolute hell away from them, but don't give up hope. There's a certain person on the net I'd like to introduce you to, because you'll be falling in love with him...

Take care of yourself now.
Present self.

wow that was really tl;dr

[Rsandee]

You probably don't know it yet, but you have this thing called Asperger's, or it could be some other mild autism, we're not sure.

I have this, but i have a very mild version of it, and i have alot of friends.

[Puruun]

Hi younger me!

Just a small note to you, don't ever join the Rayman Pirate Community. Seriously. It will get you into trouble.

Byee!

You probably don't know it yet, but you have this thing called Asperger's, or it could be some other mild autism, we're not sure.

I have this, but i have a very mild version of it, since i have alot of friends.

You too? I might have it, but I'm not sure. (If it is, it must be a mild version as well.) I'm going to be tested in May.

[Phoenixan]

I think this is what Stacey talked about with online tests.

This all reminds me...

My cousins made a video to show to ourselves 10 years from then, and I watched videos of myself when I was younger, and in this "I wanna be a cowboy!" sort of stage, so I actually told myself to never wear a cowboy hat again.

I know what you mean by plucking your hair out though, Stace. I had a phase where I couldn't stop chewing my pencils... Though nothing bad really came out of it, I guess, because I had the recycled wood ones all the time (because my parents actually figured out what I was doing).

I chew pencils too periodically but trich is something else. Dunno if anyone outside the UK can see this but here's what I mean.

I'm in the US and I can see the video... Interesting.

[Matyuv]

One of the most memorable mistakes I've made in my life was dropping music school due to being a lazy idiot, so yeah I'd tell myself not to do it.

[MLII]

Hi Domi!!!

Yeah okay, ya dun like being called Domi. Trust me, you'll love it when you get to be 12. :p

So, lessons for later life.

First off, DUMP WILLIAM K/WIRAMU-KUN. He is a total JACKASS who'll end up hurting you. D:

Second, this Christmas, you'll get a computer game called Rayman Raving Rabbids. Don't try to turn it into a book cus you'll fail.

Third, shortly after getting so said game, you'll join two forums called RaymanZone and Rayman Pirate Community. Don't post. At all. Or everyone will hate you. :[

Also never give out your age on a site called DeviantART cus then you'll get banned.

And make sure you finish Who I Am, Never Just Me, Roller Rescue: What Happened Next, and that OC filled Time Warp Trio fanfic without a title cus the CBBC message boards will go down teh drains real soon.

You'll also end up loving a cartoon called Invader Zim. You've heard the title before, yeah, but trust me you'll love the real thing.

Also Amy macDonald will release a new album in 2010 which you'll love, and your 12th birthday will be the best ever. :3

[Matyuv]

The temptation to reply to this with a single boonsmiley is almost unbearable.

Hahaha... There are many things I sometimes want changed because I was a lazy idiot, but on the other hand, if I wasn't a lazy idiot, I wouldn't learn to stop being a lazy idiot.
