She's a 13-year-old girl with thick-rimmed glasses, high socks, and--I'm assuming--what the animated world would consider Converse sneakers. She has crushes on boys. She fails math tests. For a budding young woman, Tina Belcher is basically one of the best role models any girl could have.
1. She's confident
With a simple hair flip, Tina is ready to take on the world. Whether she is pining for Jimmy Jr.'s heart or auditioning for the Wagstaff School News, she has spunk. She knows it. She shows it.
Women are encouraged to be modest and
2. She has priorities
...and she's not afraid to tell you about them. Look at the game show host's face. Does he look excited? No.
But she is. That's all that matters.
If someone asks you what you love, don't tailor it to their expectations. Tailor it to your passions and who you are, even if it is horses, music, and boys.
3. She's dedicated
Most 13-year-olds are dedicated to texting or Twitter. Tina spends hours writing. She even wakes up early to get a jump start on her erotic fan fiction.
What do you love? It doesn't matter. Just be dedicated to it.

For being 13, Tina has a lot of great advice. It's usually common sense, but people need to be
6. She won't take your sass... because she has plenty of her own
Bullies like Tammy are no match for Tina. She'll give you the benefit of the doubt the first few times, but after a certain point, she'll let you know what's up. There is nothing wrong with demanding a level of respect.
7. She's comfortable with her sexuality
Who says you can't be comfortable with your sexual preferences? If guys can talk about it, so can you!
8. She doesn't need someone else to complete her
She loves Jimmy Jr. She loves herself even more, though. At the end of the day, you do you,
9. She's intelligent
Tina's mind is always active, which is probably why she's so intelligent. Even if your specialty isn't in the realm of vibrators in boxes, don't be afraid to be intelligent.
10. She is unapologetically herself
Tina is great because no matter the situation, she stays true to her morals and herself. In a world that is constantly telling women what to do and how to behave, don't be Tina. Be yourself.
