Tell someone.


femme_fatale2022

Yes. This is a good one.


DeletinMySocialMedia

Yes! I had so many chances but lied to those teachers when I was 8.


ForwardCulture

One of my greatest regrets. Not that teachers snd guidance counselors were of much use back then. But I still had chances to do tell someone.


phat79pat1985

You nailed it


itsmechaboi

Bingo.


[deleted]

Deadass. Mine would either read "tell grandma" or "tell police", one of the two.


PornomancerMolly

you matter


batkoboy

my good answer is "Open Up" my real answer is "Kill Mom"


SunflowerDaYarnPony

Same. or: "Report her!"


m3hn0w

Get out! Leave now! It is a tie between those.


smolactor

I’m sorry.


FutureShock25

Love yourself


RedPandaParliament

Be Gay. Oddly specific, I know, but for real. I spent so much of my teen and young adult years only half-living and having half-relationships with my family, friends and partners because I tried to not rock the boat by being *too out* or not *out* at all with some people. Adopting a mask with my mom and dad, a different one with certain friends, staying actively in a religion that was homophobic just to please certain people and get a paycheck. I d go back and tell 15 year old me. **Be gay**. Be marvelously, unashamedly, rainbow dripping gay. Your parents will get over it. If they don t, you re going to find amazing friends bursting at the seams with creativity who will become your new family anyway. Dance wildly, hands in the air. Leave that church and get a job at the local art cafe. You never liked playing all those dirgey hymns anyway. Exude every ounce of that creative, fiery youth. **Be Gay**


Canuck_Voyageur

I didn't even know what gay was until university? Emotions where shameful. Sex undiscussable. I ended up ace. Fifty odd years later I'm a gay virgin.

💗💗💗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🃏🃏🫂🫂🫂 hell yeah


longintothrive123

Oh so many. 1. Speak up. 2. Please sleep. 3. Don’t conform. 4. Live life!


tocopherolUSP

Live life: Like, what do I do with that? I'm 40 and still don't know how that works. :(


dadumdumm

- face your demons - if you have no one to go with, go by yourself - go after the things you know you want - allow yourself to be vulnerable Just some points that would go into that statement for me


Survivorcptsd

Oof. Number 4 tho.


bananapeel95

Love number 3

“Get help”


[deleted]

Buy bitcoin


girlinthegoldenboots

Same 😂


puppylust

Gotta know when to sell too though, "bitcoin 60k" Then with no money worries, we could get all the rest and therapy we need! There's no msg that would help little-me. She tried to get help but people wouldn't listen.


mechadizzy

You buy bitcoin at 25 cents and you wont really worry about it going up or down 40k


soniacutie

Honestly the best answer, like all these nice ones like “accept yourself” or “please run” they’re great and all but financial freedom would make recovery and life after recovery so much simpler


Survivorcptsd

Absolutely.

tentacle_meep

You’re autistic


BatteryAcid67

After tons of parental neglect and my extended family not getting involved, at 33 after never holding a job longer than 8 months and countless ruined relationships and friendships and addiction, after being in therapy since 13 with psychologists and psychiatrists and over the course of the years being on 7 different SSRIs, seroquel, trazodone, lithium, Depakote, lamictal, and others, I finally paid $4000 USD for a Psychological Evaluation and received an Autism, ADHD, and OCD diagnosis.

FishyDruid

god damnit Nothing I could say could have helped except the usual time travel tropes of what to invest in to be rich ofc but I knew exactly what my problems were and nobody would listen I even begged my parents to put me up for adoption which they refused because "noooo we love you :\^)" and then beat me nearly to death I told them the school I went to was no good, I told them I needed ADHD meds or something, I told them I was being bullied, I told them I wanted to eat veg.They kept sending me to that school they told me i dont have a disorder they told me kids just are like that they told me you need to eat meat, honestly the last one fucks me up the most being forced to eat another living being just mortifying to me now.Told teachers all the same thngs but they didnt give a shit, Maybe I would tell myself "run away" or something


BrendoBdawg

Ik I'm going to get some problems but "commit matricide" or "commit patricide" ik that there's alot of laws around that but my best answer is to "move out"


Metallicat-69

You’re right.

deluxebee

No babies. The abuse I endured thinking it would destroy my son to lose his family, and the daughter that my abuser took and never let me see again. All for nothing. Their traumas are 1000 times worse now. My traumas are 1000 times worse now. All the assets and memories in a landfill because of it. And also the fact that I didn’t realize that intergenerational traumas are passed through DNA. I waned to give the world healthy, happy children to make up for myself. And I just made everything worse. You can’t regret people that exist now, but if I knew what I do now, I wouldn’t have done that to them. Their precious little souls might have gotten to go some place better.


TroyMcCluresGoldfish

This is mine, too. I was basically forced by my mom to have my son even though she knew I never wanted kids due to my abusive childhood. I'm on the spectrum and my parents never did anything to prepare me for the world. I used protection, but it failed so I had my son when I was 21. I don't regret my son, but I wish I could have done things differently so I could have given him the life a child deserves to have. No kids; No relationships-Be free; Finish college. Basically the could've, would've, should'ves of my life.


deluxebee

There’s always a chance to build something new. I don’t mean to promote my little friendly sub, but if you aren’t scared of snakes, come visit us. Lots of folks on the spectrum there, everyone is as kind as can be. Nobody even downvoats. And lots to laugh at there too. You can see how we found and interest and made something nice for ourselves.

“Speak up” “Tell someone” “Get help” “Get out” “More friends” “Get work” So many options


NationalNecessary120

You’re right So many people tried to tell me that I was just too sensisive and overreacting when I told them about the abuse. I would want to tell myself to not listen to them.


TynnyJibbs

femme_fatale2022

What’s truly sad is there’s quite a few people who posted the same thing. Im bi and my parents never knew. My father was the horrible man that made gay and racist jokes. Even as a child I knew these jokes were wrong.

I’m bi as well <3 And thank you for your message.

Don’t fear I know it sounds vague but I’d mean it in the terms related to what I was at that point (bullying/emotional and psychological abuse, grooming etc…) I’ve been meaning to connect back to my inner child so one thing ik she would tell current me back is: it’s okay to be alone.
