It has been said before but: don't procrastinate XD
And also life is too short to worry about silly things, don't stress & positivity does make even the most difficult things seem lest daunting
Think before you do. Can't count how many times I've done something silly because I didn't think it through first. Also, don't feel like you have to have your life sorted out before you leave school. Plenty of adults don't know what they're going to do with their life yet and they've had more time to think than you. One day it'll all just fall into place.
To pursue your dreams. To ask for help when you break down after your mums death. To be happier with yourself and take care of your body and soul.
I wish I had my time over again. I would do it all so differently.
-It's better to have one true friend than 10 superficial ones. The weakest people, like animals, need a herd for safety and to know which way to walk. You don't, you just need one or two people who will become your family and let you walk where ever you want. Never worry about what the herd thinks of your family.
and
-Embrace being different and nerdy. The choices that will make you a loser at 15(saving money, reading over partying, spending time with family over friends, etc) are what will make you a successful and happy 30 year!
Do NOT try to shave your left eyebrow! Yes, it's somewhat longer than the right one, but you WILL regret trying to shave off that part! Actually not that much, but it's going to be annoying even years later. Trust me, from my point of view that was 2.5 years ago and the difference is still visible. At least it's re-growing.
Also, start watching Doctor Who earlier. It's awesome.
I was bullied really bad since I was in like year 1, Until year 8 when I decided to leave school and be home schooled. One thing I would definitely tell myself? Stop being so afraid and stick up for yourself
Tell my child-self that:
"It's OK to not be social... everyone has their own quirks. It's what makes people individuals and not carbon-copy constructs of each other." "Look for acceptance within yourself. In 40 years, other people's opinions of who you are won't matter. And the people that you thought of as mean will grow up, mature and if you let them; some will become your best friends..." -especially true of some classmates who I didn't particularly like when I was in school, but became friends with as an adult - and who helped me through my father's sudden passing in 2009.
The fact is that as I reach middle-age, I find that my classmates as well as myself have become parents of teens and we realize that we can pass our own insecurities off on our children. We resolve that much harder to not make the mistakes that our parents did, but we still make them anyways.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
I'd tell my teen self to get her head out of those fantasy books and stop waiting to be whisked away into an adventure, nothing happens without self-awareness and hard work.
Everyone's in the same boat, it's not you and them. It's okay to make friends, not everyone has an agenda.
Oh and don't listen to your mum, grammar school and politics are not only for stuck-up kids. Otherwise, she's right about everything else.
And stop using emojis and purposely spelling words wrong, 'how are chu ^u^? tehe' is not cute. Stop it. I have to cringe when I look back at these things, you know?
I guess to my child self...stop being so weird lol. You don't need to "make a bad habbit" (picking at my lips) to test out how they work. You don't need to practice holding your breathe just in case. (I can go 3.5 minutes now though, so). You don't need to practice your pick-pocketing skills, again, just in case. Just be a normal kid, you'll be ok. (I'm still mad at the lip-picking thing. Still have it. Can never wear lipstick.)
Do not put up with the bullying! You will never see those people again after graduation. But you will think about all the plum things they did to you almost on a daily basis. You will be doing laundry, driving down the road, or whatever and you will start thinking about it, and what you shouldve done. Dont be 30 years old and still being affected by those plum girls who u havent even seen in 12 yrs. Put your big girl panties on and do something about it!
Kids dont bully. Its not funny. The person you hurt will hurt for the rest of their lives. They will never get over it. I know because i am one. I am 30 yrs old and it still affects me every single day. Dont do this to someone. Especially for no good reason. Even more so if the person you bully doesn't know why.

Even though that's two things
