1. You are never alone. I actually learned this in my health class my junior year. We did this activity where we wrote down on a piece of paper our problems or anything that was going on in our life or how we were feeling or something like that and we crumbled up that piece of paper and threw it around the room, then everyone picked up one, and we read them aloud. And after each one we’d raise our hands if we had ever felt that way. Some of them were like “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t fit in” or “I’m struggling with this or that” and afterward when everyone raised their hands, it opened our eyes to realize that everyone else had at some point felt the same way. We’re all in this journey together folks, remember?
2. True friends will be there for you no matter what. I know this seems cliché, but in high school, you really find out who your true friends are. True friends put up with your weirdness and they stand by you and they lift you up and make you laugh and you can trust them, and if they don’t do these things, then they aren’t a real friend.
3. Don’t stress about the little things. I was a big stresser in high school, and I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time stressing about things that didn’t really matter. Life is to be enjoyed.
4. Do your best. Again, this is kinda cheesy, but really, if you try your best, you will be happy with the outcome.
5. Be yourself. Honestly, there is no one else you should be, than yourself. I struggled with who that person was, but after many experiences, I think I finally found out. Don’t take till your senior year like me to really discover yourself. And then once you know you are, don’t change who you are, because you’re awesome.
Those are just five things I learned, and I could go on, but that’s the advice I will give for now.
