What’s something you wish you knew 10 years ago?
Superb Opinion
Not 10 years ago, but when I was 12. I wished I had known about school shootings and school violence before telling my mom that I was going to bring a knife to school to kill my bullies. I didn't bring it because I had actually thought about it and reconsidered. That fucked up my entire middle school and high school years. I never experienced being a 8th and 9th grader in a regular school, nor had I gotten the high school experience. I was allowed to go to prom and graduate with the other seniors, though. It wasn't my fault that I gotten my whole middle school and high school years taken from me, it was my mother's. She should have checked to make sure that there wasn't a knife in my bag.
Something else that I wished I knew about in my 6th grade year, was studying. I always left my bookbag in my locker because it was broken and my mom couldn't afford another one, so carrying that heavy bookbag tired me out. The bus didn't drop me off in front of my home, so it was a walk. Maybe if I had studied, I probably would have some knowledge of what I had learned in school.

Oh damn it! I just wanted to say lottery numbers...
Uhm there are a few things I wish I could tell my 10 year younger self to be more cautious with some decisions that she is about to make (one in particular!) but like even tho I wished some things didn't happen, if I change that, I would change the future/now and I wouldn't be where I am today...
The older you get the muddier the dating pool gets for men.
Allow me to elaborate…
Long story short you meet a woman in you’re 30s because you’ve just come out of a lifetime relationship that just didn’t work out.
She’s can’t count the amount of men she’s had sexual interconnection with on not just one but both her hands.
This simply won’t do for a territorial traditional male like myself and let’s be honest men none of us real blokes want a car that’s had to many previous owners.
Don’t fuck around and invest all you’re time to you’re mates and festivals or over sea’s adventures in you’re 20s. Find that perfect untouched girl and settle down.

That I never even needed to attend post secondary and just start working after highschool. I'm a minimalist introverted kind of guy, so I don't need nor want to engage in lifestyles that'd cost a fortune anyways. University was a huge waste of time since most of those experiences I could've gained elsewhere and/or avoided entirely. College is much better but in this economy it doesn't even matter when there's still a labour shortage (yeah I know, it's mostly superficial cause of HR Karens). Earning minimum wage might be a death sentence for many, but it wouldn't for me since I'd also am not interested in having kids nor getting married.

Mine was more like 20 years ago and it was “don’t meet J”. He was a boy who convinced me that he liked me (not hard to do when I was 23 and dumb) took my virginity and left the next day. I wanted to stay a virgin until marriage and he convinced me that we would get married. I believed him. My count is still low and only requires one hand, but now I have to answer to guys CONSTANTLY as to why I’m still single and not very experienced at my age AND why I slept with that guy but won’t sleep with anyone else (because once a girl makes one mistake she’s required to sleep with any guy who wants to hook up with her).

I’m glad that I didn’t know about GaG ten years ago, as ten years on here would be far too long.

I cannot please everyone and that's okay. Everyone has their own view, but my view of how I want to live is the most important. More important what my family thinks.
And don't listen to the doctors all the time, don't take pills if it says it can give you HORRIBLE stomachaches. A big... big... BIG painful storm is coming

Islam is ideal.
Plants also have feelings and emotions. They’re sentient. To stop their violence, eat fruits, which they dropped to us to eat.
Urine ain’t that bad. It’s healthier than purified water.

Honestly, that regardless what elected officials claim, the nation really is not their priority. Their pocketbooks generally are. However, it has been that way for too long.
That and uniting the nation in one purpose of betterment for all, not just the chosen is something that is not only possible, but can happen. - 806 opinions shared on Other topic.
Here's what current me would say to me from ten years ago: Sneak behind the parent's backs. Not in a bad way, but just don't do whatever they demand, or at least hide it (if it's good for you) because if you listen to them, and fear stepping out of line even an inch, most of it will put you in a bad place years down the line.
