    Well I only have 20 or so years to go on. But I would start from the beginning. Why would you want to miss one moment of your life? You would want live it all, All the up all the downs, all the sense of awe you got as you learned new things as you discovered. I would not want to miss that, not one moment.

    I would go back to 11 to tell my mom that the middle school she thinks is good for me was a horrible mistake.

    I would go back to when I was 10 and just pull myself out of the pit of fear and come out, as looking back I know none of my family would have had any problem with it.

    I would also change certain events when I was 11 that would stop me getting abused and subsequently hiding so far in the closet I forgot there was even a door.

    Nope

    However, I imagine I would accept that magical offer when I am very old. My first project would be to find ways around human memory limits. I would return to age 17. My personality was pretty much set at that stage

    13-14. I would have avoided certain people and I would have been more honest with my psychologist.

    I picked 15-16. With the exception of a couple friends, I've known most of them since then. On top of that, I met the friends i've had since then through existing friends.

    Why? I still have yet to get my drivers license, I didn't do anything besides computer and never hung out with anyone since then, should've taken more college classes in high school, and honestly could've prevented my self-diagnosed depression.

    I just finished school and going to a university, for me this means that I am actually starting a new life. So later on maybe I will want to return to the next few years.

    I wouldn't want to go back, my life is quite fucking cool now.

    But if I had to... I'd go back to 19-20. No way I'm going back to high school, going to university was a lot more fun. Only thing I would change is that I would have come out earlier, besides that I'd do it all again.

    This is a really interesting question. I chose 11-12 because I'd like to get a do-over on my teenage years. Yes, being a teenager is horrible - but that's mainly because they get a bad rap. I think that teenagers are way smarter than people give them credit for. I knew what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be as a teenager but repressed everything about my personality in order to please people. No way would I do that again. I'd go out and have some fun for once.

    I chose 5-6 years old because I would yell at my mom for cheating on my dad. Then again my dad also cheated on my mom. Ugh

    Maybe I could have died at birth. Maybe I could have called CPS and been emancipated from my parents. Maybe I could have gotten a job at 15 have moved out by now. Maybe I could've been out in school. Maybe I could have gotten better grades in school.

    There's so many things I could have done differently, but now I think it's too late.
