LikeDislike15 Minutes. I would break it down into 3 important issues, dedicate 3 minutes for each and save time at the end for Q&A.
I would tell myself:
1) Go to college, and STAY in college. College will help with the things I want to succeed at and if I still don’t succeed at that goal, it will prove invaluable as a “back up.” Think long term and be career oriented, not just worried about the here and now.
2) It may not look like it now but women will come. Don’t you worry. Focus on making yourself a better man and you’ll feel better as a person.
3) Calm down and don’t be so impulsive about some decisions. It may seem like the right thing to do or the decision that will make you most happy but consider all angles, pros and cons, and then proceed. Don’t be afraid to slow down a little and take your time. Life is fast enough on its own.
Then I would take questions.

LikeDislikeHey girl! How U doin’?
I just want you to know that you are beautiful with your dark skin and full round face. Your grandfather was just expesssing his oppression from when he was growing up.
Stop looking out of the window waiting on your father to show up. He has another family and would rather work and be in the street than play house.
Don’t be afraid of drunk people … they are not all that bad.
Your sister is jealous of you … 25 years later … she will still be jealous of you. That’s what older sisters do.
Your mother had wonderful help raising you. You are the best young woman you are because of her sisters and mother.
I love you so you love you.

LikeDislikeRecognize and ignore the haters! Let YOUR brain guide you and be confident in who and whose you are. It will be hard but it will be worth it. You are smart and brave, act like it all the time. Keep reading all those books girl, it will be pay off. Smart women will always be in style:)

LikeDislikeHey, Mike. It’s you from 15 years in the future. I know you won’t freak out because you’ve been a geek for 15 years, and you’ll only become more so in the future.
I’ve only got 15 minutes, so let me talk, then you can ask questions with the time left. I won’t answer anything that will alter your future – time paradoxes and such.
Don’t worry about what people think of you. Pure and simple, you have the potential and promise to go far, and what those kids around you think won’t matter much in the long run. In fact, those same people will become worthwhile friends in the future.
You will find love, I promise you. I won’t tell you who it ends up being with, mostly because you need to experience life for yourself. She’ll be the best thing that ever happened to you, and it will hit you when you least expect it.
Keep up with the writing and creativity. It truly is your strongest attribute, and will bring joy and happiness to many people as you get better at the craft.
Stay true to yourself, Mike, and don’t compromise. Above all, stay geeky.

LikeDislikeYo remember when Moms told you that if you start smoking weed, that it would lead to other things? She was right. Save yourself a lot of time and energy and put that stuff down.

LikeDislikeHi, I only have 15 minutes but what I’m about to say will positively affect your life long after I hang up. Your mom will tell you to be afraid of leaving home for college – ignore her. You will be pressured for sex – ignore all advances and learn how to masturbate. Keep your virginity until you’ve graduated from Graduate school. Why? Because overactive hormones are destracting to no end and you could possibly become pregnant! When you enter high school, apply for internships and start working at 16. Save your money, use credit wisely, find and keep a church home, value your family, treat people right, don’t settle for less and don’t beat yourself up because you failed at something: try again or accept that it wasn’t meant for you in the first place. My time is up but remember to always love yourself first and enjoy life!
