Imagine being able to go back in time and have a little chat with the 17-year-oldyou. We asked two 30-somethingswhat advice they would give their younger selves.

Martha Lee The problem with most 17-year-oldsis not that they are wild or rebellious but that they’re just so sensitive, and so self-obsessedthat even an innocent comment might cause them much emotional pain. So, what I’d tell my younger self is to live a little, relax, and take no notice of what anyone else says. At parties, when I was 17, I’d sit in the corner trying to look grown up and sophisticated instead of enjoying myself. I’d soon put a stop to that if I could go back in time. I’d drag the silly girl up and show her just how much fun dancing in an embarrassing way can be! Mind you, I might have a word with her about how a little lipstick is more appealing than layers and layers, and why that lovely flowery dress didn’t suit those awful high-heeledwhite sandals. When I was 17, I was constantly worrying about boys.
