Some of these are things that apply to me today and others go back several years. I'm 31 BTW, if it matters....

Stop being so uptight.

Respect yourself and don't try to change those who don't respect you. Just walk away and don't get tangled up in their mess.

Love yourself.

You don't have to isolate yourself and be fearful of trusting others.

Tell someone. Keeping it inside will just hurt you more.

Trust your own judgement. Indecision is just stagnation.

You don't have to go to college immediately after high school. You can go backpacking across europe. You'll regret not doing it later.

Pick one major and stick with it. You can always change your mind after you have the degree. Don't rule out community college.

Keep in touch with those you love and who love you.

It's okay to ask for help. You don't have to go it alone or try to be so strong.

Stop being so self conscious. Lots of people are worried about their image too.

You can't force someone to do the right thing.

For God's sake, quit hanging on to that junky ass car just because you like the way it rides! It'll put you several thousand dollars in debt and will take you years to pay off. Not to mention missing work because of it's craptacular unreliability.

Just remembered a very good one.

If it's too hard, it's probably not meant to be.
