Back in time

If I could go back in time
I'd change things
Make them better
Control the rebellious thoughts
Tame my teenage hormones
Prevent my heartaches
Earn respect not a reputation
Give high fives, not open thighs
Smile more and accept what is, and not what is to be expected
I would believe that all my dreams are real and not just a possibility
I would become highly dependent on myself versus influenced by my peers
I would rely on my gut and not let my emotions get in the way of reality
I would learn to be more careful with my decisions and act more responsibly
I would be upfront with my parents and avoid hiding meaningless things
I would take their advice more seriously
I would be more appreciative of everything they have done for me
I want to look back on my past and smile
