If you could give your younger self one piece of advice or insight that your present self now has. What would it be and why?

Let it go and keep forgetting bad things, keep living.

@HeatherfeatherC

Never make life choices based on the percieved expectation of others.

@HeatherfeatherC

Don't think too much of people.

For goodness sake, seek help.

@HeatherfeatherC you are too young to be boring, go out and do stuff. DO ALL THE STUFF

Having a mental illness isn't a competition. You don't have to be crazier than your family members to seek help. Something like that.

Don't doubt yourself, you're perfect no matter what.

Just shut up, you worthless idiot. All you ever do is make things worse.

Stay away from those boys, they aren't who you think they are and they WILL hurt and traumatize you in ways you can't imagine and it will be a shadow cast over the rest of your life. You don't want that. Protect yourself.

Don't listen to the bullies, you're a beautiful little lady, you're smart, kind, & funny. Their anger is their problem not yours. Speak up about what you're feeling, don't hide or back down, stand up for yourself. You're a fighter, a warrior! Keep doing what makes u happy and don't let what other people say affect how you feel about yourself. You are worthy, wanted, and loved. You are just as you were meant to be. Don't EVER forget or doubt that!
