30 Things: List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could

To continue with “30 Things my Kids Should Know About Me”, here are 10 things I would tell myself when I was 16, if I could. It was hard only listing 10!

1.         Your mom is not your enemy and will become one of your best friends when you are older.  And that mean step dad of yours, he loves you and one day you will see he only wants what’s best for you.

2.         Boyfriends will come and go but girlfriends will last a lifetime.  Focus more on your friendships then your boyfriends.

3.         Learn how to study properly; you are going to need it in college.

4.         You are going to love being a mother and it will be one of the proudest moments in your life.

5.         Don’t be so disrespectful to your parents; you will regret it when you get older.

6.         Start exercising.  Your metabolism will crash when you get to college and you will soon learn that you can’t eat and drink everything you want and still not gain weight.

7.         Stop tanning outside and in booths, the risk of getting cancer is NOT worth it.

8.         That boy you are dating, get rid of him FAST! Your relationship with him is not healthy and nothing but bad comes out of it, he doesn’t deserve you.

9.         Spend more time with your family, as you get older they become more important.

10.      You’re going to meet the love of your life in a couple years that will also be the father to your children, be nice to him!
