I honestly doubt even my six years old self would be willing to follow the most important ones of these, but anyway:
1. People won't kill you if you talk to them. Additionally, it's very hard to find new friends if you don't talk to anyone.
2. Take a picture of that blue ladybug you'll see.
3. Don't try to befriend that Max you'll get to know in 7th or 8th grade; he's an asshole.
4. Start learning how to play an instrument, if only for the reason that everybody is doing so. You might not realize it now, but you'll feel pretty bad for never having done that in the future.
5. If you know something during school classes, then say it!
6. Don't try being even more invisible to other people than you already are. Seriously. It'll work, and you won't be happy about it.
That's all I'd have to say. If my old self would follow these, that would be pretty great, although I really doubt it, since I still have some of these problems right now, and I'm not doing anything about it.

I'm 13 so I'll say stuff to my 10-11 self:
01. Please stop being an idiot!!!11
02. You're not funny being an idiot.
03. Your mom said you might do piano lessons, do so you will be sorry to yourself if you want to do piano lessons 2 years later.
04. Don't live in your own world and stop playing games with your "friends", you will hate them 'cause they have stolen your time on school.
04. Please, for the sake of god, PLEASE stop being an idiot!!!!!!!!!!
05. Don't think your a smartass 'cause your definitely not.
06. People don't think your cool if you have your own clubs and school and doing like your a clown.
07. Focus on your work a lot more.
08. Get more into the coding (and eventually) hacking games.
09. You will compose music later, go to music class events and gain some experience.
10. Do some exercises in your free time instead of sitting on your butt and playing games while your thinking about your "clubs" you have on school.
I was an idiot on that age, just to clear it out.

Interesting thread, this. I've thought of this myself quite a number of times already.
Seventeen years old, so that goes for a seven-year old right here:
1. Your life is stable now, living in that nice house and environment in Breda, but it will quickly change in about two and a half years from now. Get used to moving from city to city every once in a while until you're fourteen. Do not get too used to your friends and the city you live in anymore, because it will all change quickly.
2. Keep playing soccer, you may not like it now but eventually you will embrace the game. Also, the moment you start supporting a Dutch soccer club, support NAC Breda right from the start. Your father may support PSV, but that should simply become your second club.
3. You're not going to be tall. Tough luck, kid!
4. Come out of your shell and toughen up. You may not have a large, intimidating posture (and why should you?), but at least people will often pay respect to you if you do so too.
5. Pay respect to other religions and don't do it off as "ignorant" - when you turn fourteen and move to a more religious area, Veenendaal (from whence you came originally), you'll see why. I completely advise you to not adjust your religion to the likings of others, however - if you're atheist, then you're free to show it.
6. Try not to trust people too easily. It is definitely possible to call you "naive", even at the point at which you have grown out of puberty. Overthink your decisions - you're quite prone to impulses and emotions!
7. Not now, but when you hit puberty, now and then you will be wondering about whether or not you should try to find a girlfriend. Sometimes, even, the question of homosexuality comes up. Whatever you do, don't try to make things hasty. If you go through like this, you'll eventually finish VWO education, run through your college study and, hopefully, get a good job. Things will roll out during that time or afterwards - there's no need to hurry.

Though I am seventeen, I feel that it would be more appropriate to discuss myself as I was five years ago.
I would tell myself three things:
1- Social health isn't important to you, and you can't hope to achieve it anyways. Your mother has withheld from you an invaluable piece of information about yourself and deserves to be given a swift kick to the crotch.
2- You should not trust others arbitrarily unless the person in question has a Ph.D. in a valid study. Social convention is to be disregarded in all circumstances.
3- God's not real. You've known this for quite some time.

Seriously? Grow up. Not only is that post useless and off topic, it is outright bigotry. Your posting habits are mediocre and immature, and for that I am going to award you with a nice 72 hour ban. I would highly recommend you grow up in those three days if you want to stick around.
And with that, lets get back to the original topic  !

I'm 21, so I suppose I'd say this to an 11-year-old me.
1) First and foremost: Stop being friends with "you know who". You'll thank me for sparing you five or six years of misery later.
2) People aren't scary, stop thinking they are.
3) Don't be such a prude. That doesn't mean you should be a slut, but be more open minded about sex, smoking, and other stuff.
4) However, DON'T give in to peer pressure. Keep some of the modesty you are known for.
5) Be open minded about religion and the government, or other related subjects. Blindly hating on Christianity and Republicans won't make you cool, trust me.
6) Stop teasing your brother. You will be good friends later, so you may as well start early.
7) Don't be afraid to have your love of video games be rejected by your peers. I still struggle with this today, so that would be a great help.
8) If you don't know what something means when your friends say it, don't comment on it. It's probably sexual and you'll look like an idiot. And please, for the love of God don't ask what a prostitute is in French class.
9) If you miss the bus stop, don't be afraid to use a store phone to call home "because you didn't want to bother anyone". Walking down a snowy road at night for hours and getting yelled at is not fun for anyone involved.
10) Brush up on your psychology early. Don't bother with criminal justice, geology, or any of that other stuff, because it's going to be a nightmare figuring out your college course schedule later.

I was totally friends with Voldemort back in the day. It didn't end well, and now Harry Potter hates me.

To my three year old self:
Don't give up after that third piano lesson! You have as much capability to become a prodigy as any other kid, if not more because of your long fingers. Oh yeah and God doesn't exist, so try to live the best life you can!

10 years ago.
1: It was 2002.
2: I was 8 years old.
3: Year 4 (British academic year group of 8 to 9, so long as you are 8 by September the 1st).
4: I used to get into fights (won most of them, I'll have you know. Except two particular fights with the much bigger boys).
5: I was a year into a relationship which went on for 4 more years. The sister of whom I am currently in a relationship with as of 2011 prior to this post (check my avatar).
6: I would have been already making plans for my birthday party, even though it's not until the 29th of May.
7: I'd be wondering around the streets with my friends from time to time, up to no good.
8: I'd enjoy using the computers, I started using Windows 95 on the one classroom computer before Windows 98 came into the new computer suites.
9: I would live at my house & where ever my other parent was staying from time to time because it was 2 years after the divorce.
10: I'd go to Clevedon from time to time & watch Jack Ass & South Park, with Daft Punk playing in the car on the way when driving through the forests.
It was a great time for music, games & TV. I miss those days.
I currently go to special club nights that play music from the late 90s early 00s era. I'd heard all about that music & really, really wanted to go to this club night that would play this stuff.
Although it took until 2012 (almost a decade after the time when that stuff was awesome died out) on my 18th birthday there happened to be a club night from the same group on the same day. They were playing tracks specifically from that time just like the late 90s & early 00s. It was the best way I could have imagined marking my 18th. Good times. :3

Eh, you kinda missed the point in this. The point isn't to tell everyone what you were like, and what you did ten years ago. Watching this video should clear some things up.

You may believe or not, but this made me stop playing that.
Anyway: (to my 8 year old)
1. Don't act as you are stupid.
2. Never jump over Year 2.
3. Never play Metin2.
4. Did I mention you shouldn't act as you are stupid?
5. Don't let yourself being bullied.
6. Learn to fly. Play that game "Learn to fly 2", it's better than Metin2 and doesn't cost anything.

Let's talk to my 13 year old self, shall we?
- Start nutting up and telling people off with cynicism and knowledge you have on them. They say something to you in an attempt to look good, you kindly remind them how worthless they are with a curb stomp to the nuts.
- In 9th grade, when you reach it, you're going to have the urge to stop making comics and drawings in general when people bully you about them. Do yourself, and me, a favor and keep making them no matter what happens. You'll eventually reach a time in 10th grade where you'll have original characters for once, and you'll wanna turn them into comics as well.
- In junior year, you're going to meet a shiny-foreheaded kid. I swear, his forehead is going to be so shiny, you could brush your teeth using it as a mirror. You'll save money on mirrors if you befriend him, but watch out. He's going to have a man crush on you the second you start hanging out with him. Do us both a favor, please, and avoid him at all costs come senior year. His man crush will become so creepy, he's going to waste an entire year of your life stalking you and telling you who to hang out with and what to do with him and your other friends. He's going to provide ultimatums and even sabotage your senior love interest. Trust me when I say, he's bad news after a couple of months.
- Don't hang out often with a kid named Shawn in 8th grade. He's going to have a Stockholm attachment to you and after high school lets out, he's going to try and take control of your life. Why? He's one of those types of people who cannot stand having his friends different from him. He's going to bug you to get haircuts like him, to dress like him, and at one point, try and use you as his personal piggy bank because he has "bills to pay." He will become bad news after a while, and his advice is going to sound as smart as Shin's from Shin-Chan AKA NOT SMART AT ALL. You're going to have to make your own decisions from her eon out, kid.
- For the love of god, DON'T BUY CRASH BANDICOOT THE WRATH OF CORTEX. It's a waste of money.
- Speaking of wastes of money, don't spend sixty of your dollars on a Star Ocean 4 you're never going to see again.
There'll be more...I think...

Okay, I'll just picture this is me talking to 6th grade me. That was about only 4 years ago, but by no stretch of the phrase am I the same man as 6th grade me.
1. Don't play Pokemon. You are going to waste so much time, and be dissapointed in your future.
2. A TV show will appear in the future. It will be abbreviated as MLP FiM. WATCH IT.
3. Dig out that old SNES, and ask for a power cord. Soon after, you wont regret it when you remember the old times you used to spend at your grandparents' house.
4. Ignore romance. It is an un-essential part of your life, and by high school, you'll realize you'd rather be alone, for the rest of your life.
5. Don't ignore the seemingly insane things that will show up in your future. They may seem unlikely, and boring predictions, but let them take hold of you. You WILL become a MUCH better person.
6. Ask your cousin to sleep in your brothers' room. Come high school, you will regret sharing a room.
7. EAT STEAK. EAT IT RARE.
8. Only spend half of that $200 in your wallet
9. Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.
10. On a date not far from now, your family will be late on a house payment, and you should have at least $80 left. Wait until she talks about cutting off the internet. It will not happen, but percisely TWO MONTHS after she first mentions it, give her the $80 and say it's for house payments. This should occur near the beginning of Summer Vacation. If you fail, you will go nearly two years without internet, living in a home about 1/2 the size with a smaller family budget. To add to this, you will meet somebody you nearly murder, but do not inflict any lasting harm, and your social life will partially collapse.
