1. Cherish your parents, dont ever disrespect them, you will miss them dearly when they are gone.
2. Just because my friends had a nicer house and lived in a better neighborhood, did not mean they were better off.
3.My mom wanted the best for me, even when we didn't get along, had fights, and I felt she didn't understand.
4. You look good girl!!!!! I wish I knew what would happen to my body after college, marriage, and a baby.
5. Don't believe those teenage boys!
6. Take your time!!! Take that extra year in college, there is no rush!
7. Say I love you to your family every time you see them. You never know when it's your last time seeing someone.
I will stop now:) Love all your too!

Mistakes only make you stronger... such wise words. I'd tell my 16 year old self that, contrary to popular belief, I don't know everything and there is always more to learn.
And by "popular belief," I mean "my belief," which was/is quite popular to me. LOL. Cheers!
