when you're fifteen..

...If you could go back to when you were fifteen and give yourself advice, what would you say?

Here are a few things I would tell fifteen year old maddy..

- you really shouldn't wear  so much powder, I know you think you have acne, but 5 zits doesn't even come close to being acne. Don't be so self conscious.

- don't skip out on your two lap warm up every day during track, you could be really good if you tried harder.

-I know its not fair that you can't have sleepovers, in a few years you won't mind.

-  all of your friends are older than you, when they graduate you will be left alone. go outside your comfort zone and make some friends your own age.

- you really shouldn't cheat your whole way through chemistry, it will come back to bite you in the butt when you get to college.

- learn good study habits now, you will be thankful later.

- Date lots of boys, don't get in serious relationships, you are so young.

- Enjoy high school, get involved in as many activities as you can.

- make boys chase you, you are a catch.

- friends come and go, but your family will always be there for you.

- Don't regret anything that makes you happy, there is a reason for everything you do.

- don't try to grow up so fast, you have the rest of your life to do that!

- One day your 12 o'clock curfew won't be that big of a deal, stop complaining.

- Listen to mom and stop being so stubborn, she is always right.

- Things are always changing and growing, you just have to adapt to it.

- don't take life too seriously, it's much more fun that way.

- I know you worry that you will never get married, I promise you that you will, and he will be the most amazing boy you've ever met, and he will make you happier then you can ever imagine.

- Pay attention in seminary, you could learn a lot. and be a little nicer to brother chatwin, he means well.

- Never forget all the memories you made at this age, even the bad ones, you can learn from them.
