As I look in the mirror I see my 17 year old self
I think of all the things I've done and left undone
Looking back I wish I could let my 14 year old self know some things
Like there will be hard times,and to love for ever
To not let other alter your selfestem
And always stick up for what you belive
With that thought I smile knowing that there still would be ups and downs
Like having my mom tell me on she's getting married
Or my one true love tell me over the phone that he wasn't coming back for awhile
Finding out my best friend was hurting herself in the worst way
Or hearing your friends say that you should just move on
Lossing friends and making new ones
Oh to let my younger self know thoses miles stones
It would have made things easier but that's not life
The true question is
Would we really want to know whats in store for us?

Excellent... I loved it and it made me think, I'm going through issues with my bf, and stop cutting, and such... and I'm 17 as well... Great job...

I enjoyed this. The question you pose at the end is wonderful and something I am sure many would ask themselves. For me, there are actually some things I would want to know. I equate that to the fact that I still have some inner child kicking around in my spirit though.
There are several minor typos in this piece and yes, I am a stickler when it comes to that. Still, really enjoyed your journey. Thank you for entering and best of luck to you.
