To be unafraid. Don't be afraid of going out of your comfort zone...to travel, to try new things. My mother was over-protective and afraid of everything. Don't go here because it's not safe. Don't do that because you'll fail. I wish they had pushed me to be braver.

Ambition and drive. I wish my parents had pushed me harder and made me strive and plan ahead. I don't blame them for anything but I wish my dad especially had been more involved and I wish mum had pushed back when I didn't try hard enough.

I wish they'd taught me how to keep a secret or be discreet.... I was a bit always like that anyway, even before i became an intel analyist.... but it does still piss me off a bit that both my mum and dad thrive off gossip and neither can keep anything to them f****n' selves for longer than it takes to dial their mates and gossip.

How to prepare for college and get into an actual career. None of my parents went to college. I don't even know where to start on how to pay for tuition, or where to go to get some sort of experience.

Clean your teeth!
I was never taught how important oral hygiene was.
I did with my own kids telling them if they neglected their chompers, they would end up with the tombstones I have.

Studying. I was basically labelled as 'gifted' and cruised through primary skill. I am now stuck in an extension program in high school with little study skill and zero motivation. Thanks mum.
