    Whether you are above 16, below, or at 16... What kind of advice would you give to yourself or if you could have gone back in time, what would you say?

    You're not just curious, you're gay. Come out now or you probably never will. Also, don't allow yourself to drift apart from your friends because it's almost impossible to make new ones after college.

    Okay hun, let me save you like ten years of wondering what's wrong with you. YOU'RE GAY. Oh and just forget about your mom, she's immature and narcissistic and she don't know shit. Your dad's got your back though.

    Tell your parents. Do it now. They won't disown you, so don't be​ so scared.

    I had no issues with anything LGBT related at 16. I was out and accepted at 14.

    My only advice would be to stay in high school....or else you'll probably regret it. My 16 year old self didn't.

    You're into chicks, you're agender (with an explanation). Study your butt off and if you go to uni choose a course you want to do.

    Bad things happen but they are not your fault so don't blame yourself. Go to the Drs and seek advice about depression.

    Be braver, try new things and don't start drinking. Write more. Learn to love yourself.

    Grow a spine and stop worrying what others think. Love yourself as you are instead of hating yourself as the person you pretend you are.
    (I am 16 and still working on taking my own advice.)

    Whatever you're doing, keep doing it, unless it's drugs. What are you doing? Whatever, just be the first child of your mother to NOT to drop out of high school

    Painkillers are not playthings are you're not Dr. House, Idiot. Oh and btw you're a transguy so go to therapy. And get a job and learn your financials! Fuck school.
