Dear Remi (the teenager),

Don't tell Whitney she's "NEVER gonna be Brittney Spears"...you'll regret it for the rest of your life, although in a few years the statement will be more like a compliment and less like a dream-smasher.

You're parents are right. I know, it's annoying. Just deal.

Listen to dad when he tells you not to go to prom with the Bon Jovi look alike.

Burn the short shorts.

When Bishop Cuthbertson wants you to go on a blind date, stop being a brat and just go. It'll be worth it. And give him another chance after that date is over....so he wanted you to jam out with him in his car to a country song you didn't know!? Who cares???...give him another chance. you'll marry him, so just cut the hard-to-get game and kiss him already. You'll save both of you a lot of pain. And guess what? He's the hot guy you saw at your seminary graduation.....he's not married.

Stay awake in seminary. This stuff is actually really useful...unlike all the stuff you'll learn at school all day today.

Don't go to prom.

Don't switch high schools-high school is high school no matter where you are. Plus you should probably try to reconcile your differences with Whitney and hang out with her more often. Guess what? you'll be best friends one day.

Stop rolling your eyes at everyone. Its obnoxious.

Really? TJ? Rem, he's 5'2" and he sells drugs when you aren't looking. move on.

study for your ACT. Getting a score the same age as you are when you take it doesn't exactly make you look like a genius.

Yours,

Future Remi

Develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something. Learn to be content with what you are.
