Travel back in time - Give your 5 year old self - One piece of advice?

[Jinx.]

I'd give futuristic things, so I would be the most futuristic guy ever

[Alex Wesker]

"Okay, listen up pal. I know you're only five and life's only just begun but soon something terrible is going to happen and you're not gonna meet Mommy for a long time. You may be scared, yes, I know you will, but you have to brave. Trust me, please hang in there because you WILL make it and in a few years your life will be so much better. Chin up, okay? Fear is good, but you've got to remember that the current situation you're in now won't last forever and things will get better. Remember these words, ok?"

[D- Ice]

No matter how unpleasant, life experiences shape you as a person, just as much as genetic make-up (and random events on the quantum scale). Changing these would therefore result in a different person, who just happens to share your genetic make-up.

I can probably go back to my five year-old self and create a happier person, or even one who is more useful to humanity in a utilitarian sense. However, I just cannot accept replacing myself (in the present) with someone else.

"Don't join GTAForums."

You were 5 years old when you joined the forums? Damn bruh...

[Crazyeighties]

I would warn my self about the hell I would go through with health problems.

[make total destroy]

kill john lennon

[The Harwood Bitcher]

kill john lennon

How old are you?

 

Anyway, i will say to myself "don't jump of that ladder, your front teeth will thank you that" ?stop touching yourself in the broom locker in the school, YOU WILL REGRET THAT and don't worry, you gonna become awesome when you grow up.

[GunWrath]

Give my 5yr old self advice? Still a young age but perhaps 'Don't eat that booger'.

[Special Members]

Don't worry. Middle school may seem like a living hell when you get there, but high school redeems it all.

[Eutyphro]

I'd give him a list of atrocities to predict before they happen to help prevent them and help maintain world peace, but his stupid five year old ass would not be up to that task I guess. Maybe if he were ten that would work.. I also might give him personal advice about things I learned about myself over time, but that might jinx everything. The atrocity thing might also jinx world peace. It's hard to think about something coherent to tell him that would definitely improve things.

Don't let people get to you so easily.

Just give him a copy of The Catcher In The Rye and it will have the same effect

[Xavierr]

Tell your Dad you don't like playing (American ) Football and would rather play Soccer (football).

 

And to think I could've been in 19u Seattle sounders or something like that right now.

 

And don't even get me started in the girls back at my old highschool I never met until I started playing soccer.

[EphemeralStar]

I'd tell myself to not visit sex.com, it was not worth the infinite pop-ups and computer virus.

[BrownBear]

To be honest, kid, you may as well just kill yourself now.

[Aby]

Take better care of your Resident Evil 4 Collector's Edition when you buy it, douchebag.

[ROCKSTAR MANIC]

I don't know, alot if advice actually. I don't know if my 5 year old self would listen or give a f*ck since I was an asshole when I was 5, lol.

[Graven]

I'd get a stroke if I traveled back to 70s.

And I can't find my hippie jeans anywhere.

Candy was so cheap 1979.

[ChrilLe]

"Hey kiddo, I know you hate talking to strangers like me, but please tell your stupid father to keep himself fit, so he won't be a muscleless skeleton as he turn fiddy. K? And tell your brother not to buy that stupid motorcycle, it will change his life forever.

 

Oh, and don't try to make that New World Order of Nudity campaign! You gotta regret later in life."

[MIGta]

I don't think I would want to say anything. I like my life and would be scared I would change it somehow and lose something I don't want to. I have a few regrets in life but generally they have ended up turning out for the best.

If anything I would rather go back in time either a day or a week or something and tell myself to bet big on a sporting outcome to become rich.

"Hey, little guy! Listen, if you ever see a naked lady on the computer, don't go near it! Close your eyes, and walk away. Don't think about what you saw either. Just be a good little fella and obey God. Trust me, you'll thank me later.."

[Davo the Assassin]

Don't get fat.

[kipakolonyasi]

pick a sport and start it as soon as you can.

[Is this The Guy?]

When you turn 12 and the oppurtunity presents itself just walk away, she might be related.

[Der Süden]

Don't ever go to the railroad station to continue drinking after disco closed. Go home.

[KarimNTerr]

I would tell to my 5 year old self something like this:
