If I were a young woman now...

Unfortunately the link doesn't work - think the original poster on Facebook must have taken it down. Shame, it was quite thought provoking!

Another one here who wouldn't have got married so young (21) and would have stood up to my mother. She influenced me so much, but perhaps I am one of those who always has to blame someone else instead of being responsible for my own mistakes. I would have chosen my friends better if that were possible.

I'd challenge - well, everything. I'd know that 'good enough' is good enough and take some pressure off me and those I love.

I would probably not go into nursing. The training now is all academic and university courses, ending with a degree. I don't think I would enjoy that as much as ward based learning. Love, compassion and caring cannot be taught in a classroom, and it seems to me that this is what is lacking in today's hospitals. I would also have had my children earlier. I love being a Granny and wish I was a little younger and fitter!

I wouldn't have got married so young (well, I was not as young as some), would have carried on with my education and travelled more when I was still young and fit.

Probably I would battle on with A levels and go to university instead of leaving after a term, followed by several false starts work wise. Also I would have been better at keeping in touch with friends.
