But Hilda isn't that part of the very nature of the beast?

I think my advice would be ....not to be in such a rush...to slow down and take my time before making all those decisions. Its not that I regret them...that would be pointless, its just that I did not allow myself to see all the options.

Then perhaps Nellie your advice to your teenage self could be something like: "Don't worry, this too will pass" or "It all works out in the end"

I didn't like my teenage self much at all. I think I would rather not remember that pert of my life. I am very much more self confident now I am older.

Do you want your advice & portrait to be immortalized forever as part of a new nationwide photo project for Gransnet?

Based on an earlier thread on this topic, we had some wonderful answers and then, when Galen suggested a Gransnet Calendar we wondered whether actually we could combine the two ideas (with Galen’s blessing of course). We're grateful to Venture Photography for partnering with us on this project, since logistically it would have proved impossible to do without them.

So the hunt is on – we’re looking for gransnetters who have a great piece of advice for their teenage self, and a good photo of themselves at that age!

If chosen to take part you will be invited for a professional portrait session at your nearest Venture Studios (check map of where here www.venturephotography.com/studios/ ). And then you, your advice and photo of your younger self would all be captured forever in a unique new portrait that you can keep.

We do appreciate that it won't be convenient for everyone, but Venture have very kindly helped us to set this up - and it is the best way to enable the greatest number of gransnetters to participate.

So, tell us what advice you would give your teenage self.
