Take better care of my teeth , never even think about engineering or technology and instead pick up dentistry defy my middle eastern parents and actually not eat after I take my thyroid meds , and actually start taking it from a young age realize that my parents don't care that much about me and get over it try to warn them about the 2011 Civil war and tell them not to put every thing they make in a house that is going to be obliterated in the war and actually try to persuade my Dad who is a top linguistic scientist to take the offers he received from Europe and migrate there before the war starts instead of dying in this shit hole of a society ! , for a guy that was the top linguistic scientist of his country and has a phd my dad was dumb in his decisions especially the ones regarding his family
not overly cook my brain by masturbating too much actually eat more learn machining from a young age as a hoppy , make my own firearm for self defence encrypt my diaries from a young age and not let my dad read them , even tho he managed to unencrypt them later and realized his son is just an uninteresting looser tell my both of my parents to take better care of my elder sister so she doesn't end up a stupid whore

Take better care of my teeth

Oh god yeah. In my second chance, I'd completely avoid years of Dr Pepper addiction like I did first time around.

Was drinking 4L a day, for months, and didn't realise I had a problem until the day I drank 9L.

realize that my parents don’t care that much about me and get over it

That too.

learn machining from a young age

And that. Woodwork, metalurgy, masonry, etc too. And plumbing and electrics. All the real practical skills.
