Your life is about to really suck for seven long years and there is nothing you can do to prepare for or stop it. Have fun.
Just seven?. I would say a lot more!.
Well I'm not even 18 yet so seven years is a long time for me lol
College/University >>>> High School. (if you're not from the states use the appropriate terms, hopefully you know what I mean.) if that's all any help!
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to college. My wildest dream is to go to an Ivy League school, but my parents didn't set a penny aside for me to go or even allow me to attend an actual school, so I'll probably wind up going to a community college or something, but that's okay with me. I just want to have the experience of college, even in some small form.

Use the community collage as a stepping stone to a 4 year
I'm only 14, so I would tell my younger self (when I just started high school): "Stop worrying about everything" (I still do that now...Any form of confrontation/test makes me nervous (even though I usually do well)).
@elliskane3 high school is difficult because everyone is worried about fitting in and doing well with grades, it's so important to moving on to college. I think you will be surprised later in life when you talk to others pretty much everyone felt just like you do today. Hang in there, life get so much better

Isn't this the truth! I was such an odd duck in high school (it didn't help my family relocated states between my 10th and 11th grade year, though the second high school I was to was much nicer than the first, and that my dad was also a teacher at the second high school). But college was great! Six other people from my high school went, one of which was one of my few friends from high school, though not a close friend, (the other four we both lost in the shuffle which was okay, wasn't that close to 'em) and aside from that everyone was new to me, and many to each other. Because of those similar circumstances I made more friends in my freshmen year than I had ever had in my life, and while they didn't all last through all of college quite a few did, and some I even am still pretty tight with 20 years later. College was the absolute best time for friendships in my life, hands down.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.
Education is so freaking important. Do not screw it up.
Ignore the bullies and the mean girls...10 years from now, they'll all still be living with their parents and be either fiends or knocked-up college drop-outs with hardly-there baby daddies. Their money and fancy mansions will do them more harm than good. And you'll be fully independent and doing more than they've ever done by the time you're 16.
Also, you're gonna get super sexy by like, 19 so stop falling in love with any boy who gives you attention. Get it together - they're not even that cute.
I know you feel like you're all alone, but you're so strong. You're a fighter. Don't ever give up.
Dawg I wish I had someone there to tell me this when I was 12. I was a really lonely kid. I was really desperate for someone to love me.
Don't start drinking. Don't ever quit the gym. Don't ever move to Bristol for six months, neither will work, nor will school turn out OK and you'll go back home poorer.

You could actually go ahead give your younger self some names on that one.
There's certainly two or three people I would tell my younger self to avoid....
tbh it'd probably be most people including half my family and 90% of my friends lol. I was surrounded by some toxic people growing up.
I was too young to be able to see it, though.

I really need to hear that when I was a teenager. I mean, REALLY.
Also, "You deserve better so don't settle." I need to hear that one when I was 20.
And, if the fates were really kind, "Avoid Route 202 on December 6, 1985 - especially in the morning."

But then I think, "No blind date, then I don't get to meet the most important person in my life, my son."
Yeah, got a loveless marriage but a beautiful child. Was it worth it? Most definitely.
> Follow your Dreams!
I would tell myself to run from my nightmares
