Yes, 17 to write the wrongs if all the mistakes I made.

Like others have said, only if I could take with me the life experience that I now have.

Yes, in a heart beat! I often use the phrase. 'if I knew then what I know now'. But I wouldn't want to be a teenager now with all the pressure of social media etc.

I was a couple of years older GSM (19) when I got with the man who I thought I was soooooo lucky to have found ummmm let’s say no more

Oh if only…. I wouldn’t be the shy little thing who thought I was ugly (looking at photos now I really wasn’t) my whole life would be different if I d have had some confidence and self belief when I was 17 🙄

If time travel became possible😊 would any of you choose your teen years to re visit? If not then,which age would you choose?

Only if I could take my life experience with me. It would be lovely to have all that knowledge and apply it to my life as a 17 year old.

I could have written your post LinAnn. The age at which I became to a man who turned out to be an abusive husband.

14 I think before I started making all the mistakes. i.e. BOYS!!!

I would like to go back to the age of 17, and deal with situations with the wisdom and confidence I have now.
