CONGRATS! You can go back in time!

Hey - you can go back in time to meet your 15 y.o. self!
What advices would you give yourself? What would you do different, more, less and so on?

More things then I care to list, but mainly, financial stuff, and to take better care of myself, both with not over doing it with weights when I wasn't ready, and watch what I eat, and what time of day I eat it.

You're basically asking me what to do in the early 1980s. Since my life has basically worked out, I'd try to leave things alone except for the financial side. Buy lots of stock in IBM and a little company called Apple and a few others and put it in a trust until 1994 with a warning about selling before the dot.com bubble burst in 1995. After that, I'd let things play out other than a whisper about a company called Google. Too much knowledge of the future is a bad thing.

Stay away from porn Ok, I would have to force him to do that, but seriously, if I tell him "why", he will understand...

After giving him the "Grays Sport Almanac" (Edition 2021), so that he only has to bet on the winner , I would advise him to lose weight and do more sports, cause I was pretty chubby at the time... I had also massive problems with school bullies back then and I could not defend myself properly. I didn't (literally) fight back. So I would advise him to take advantage of his fists at the next insult, simply to draw a line...

Further on I would advise him not to pursue an academic career. In my case, it was a waste of time...

As for love life: I would advise him not to get involved with the neighbor's daughter (also known as "the slut", 'cause she fucked virtually everyone in the neighborhood) two years later... Oh, and I really would insist that he talk to a very specific girl at school - I didn't find out until years later that this absolute adorable girl was secretly in love with me. But by then it was already too late...
