Dear Young Me: 7 Things Brokenhearted People Would Tell Their Younger Selves

If you could warn yourself about a doomed relationship before its demise, would you?

On the website DearYoungMe.com, the brokenhearted anonymously share what they would have told their younger selves about their failed relationships. For some, that means offering a warning about staying with a cheating spouse. Others caution against remaining in a loveless relationship.

The site doesn't exclusively feature break-up submissions -- readers can send in anything they'd want to share with their earlier, less-experienced selves -- but the breakup-themed letters are certainly some of the most touching.

Click through the slideshow for some of our favorites.

What would YOU tell your younger self?  It can be about anything, not just relationships.

That even though everyone on the planet wore their hair like that those big hair photos from the 80s are going to come back to haunt you. Put down the can of aqua net.....

Dear Younger Me,

Party even harder in college because the economy is going to tank and you won't use your degree. LOL

I have an awesome job not in my degree field.

Stay in school. Just because no one backs you, doesn't mean you should back yourself. Yourself is all you've got.

dear young me ,

when you are 22 you will fce the hardest thing ever. you will loose both of your parents. it will hit you hard but you well get through it. do not attempt to end your life , the shock and after math will tear down too many people you love. it will not get better right away and 15 mo tha later it will still hurt. and as for these inpatient psychiatric facilities , they will help , all 6 times. and this outpatient program : stick it out. your son will love you no matter what.

sincerely,
23 year old me
