1. Be yourself, you're beautiful.
In a world like this, it's difficult for us to determine what the definition of "beautiful" really is. Let me clue you in; it's you. You're so incredibly beautiful. You have a heart of gold and only want the best for people. As great as this might be, not everyone is like you. You're going to come across people throughout your life who are wonderful, and some who might not appreciate you. But you know what? Forget about them. Keep being yourself and spread love wherever it is that you might go. Continue to treat people with the same amount of love and respect that you wish for them to treat you with. Don't let others get you down, because you're so much better than that.
2. Don't waste your tears on him.
Trust me; he did you a favor. That loser didn't deserve you anyways! One thing I can tell you is that it does get better as you get older, which should come as a relief to you. "Love" is such a strong word, and you'll grow with someone and be able to share a bond that's so special with them. Until that time comes, keep your head up. After all, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince, right?
3. Work hard in school.
It may not seem like a huge deal to you right now, but I promise it is! If you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help. The second you receive the good news about getting accepted to the high school and college of your dreams, you'll thank me.
4. You're going to drift apart from friends, and that's okay.
Perhaps one of the most difficult things to deal with growing up is losing someone you considered a friend. You'll go to bed wondering what it is that you did wrong for them to no longer want you in your life. You're going to cry - a lot. As difficult as it may be, it's time to understand that some friends are going to walk in and out of your life and that's something that you need to learn to accept. It's not fun or easy, no one ever said it would be. No matter what, your true friends will remain and you'll appreciate it in the long run.
5. Don't take people for granted.
Spend as much time with your family that you possibly can. When you get upset with people you love, don't stay mad. Even though you think you know everything right now, you'll soon realize that you don't, so stop being sassy and start understanding that people are just trying to help!
6. It's going to be okay. You have great things coming your way.
Whatever you're going through right now, it's going to get better. I know it's tough right now but your future is so bright and you can do anything that you set your mind to. Keep following your dreams and living life to the fullest. You may stumble at times, so when you do, just get back up and hold your head high. You got this.
