What I Wish I Knew At Age 13

Hey 13 year old, If you self harm and you think your alone, you never are alone. Always feel free to reach out to someone. And if you relapse, whether its once or 100 times, people will always be there to help you.

Hey 13 year old, Don't stress about working out who you are, who you love etc. Focus on being yourself, loving yourself and having fun

Hey 13 year old, High school is tough, if you don’t have any friends now don’t worry you will find them. Don’t stress and make sure you have some good books around

Hey 13 year old, Learn to study well. It’s much better to have the skills before you need them than to be scramblIng to figure it out on the fly.

Hey 13 year old, That moustache has to go. You need to make your mom aware of the impact it has on your social life and your confidence. It's just a first shave, you're not leaving the house just yet, but momma's boy is growing and she needs to understand that.

Hey 13 year old, please stop trying to get famous on straight tik Tok by pointing middle finger and bad words and also throwing it back it won't work and PLEASE Don't do drama fights

Hey 13 year old, Weird hobbies and interests aren’t something the be ashamed of, they make you a really cool adult

Hey 13 year old, make sure to not let anyone make you feel less than you really are okay :)

Hey 13 year old, If you get the chance to get a project car, do it as soon as possible, especially if its old and simple, it will teach you good life skills and how to pay car insurance.

Hey 13 year old, Trust me, popularity doesn't matter. Keep your close friends, and stay happy and don't try to compete with the no good popular people. (They usually end up having bad jobs, and less popular people usually end up with really good jobs btw)

Hey 13 year old, Know that people love you, dammit! 8th grade is one year, that's it! Things will get better. Don't be afraid to ask for help, and talk to people. You have wonderful people in your life who care for you, and never forget it!

Hey 13 year old, You will eventually find the right friend group. Just let the world run its course and everything happens for a reason

Hey 13 year old, Keep not caring what others think and just do what makes you happy

Hey 13 year old, Please, I know you saw his friend give him a shoutout on his story, and I know he had a cool hat and he looked like a nice person, but DO NOT add him:) its not worth it

Hey 13 year old, Once it is posted on the internet, you can't remove it. Think twice about what you're doing. You can delete it, but you can't be sure someone didn't copy or download it.

Hey 13 year old, Hi

Hey 13 year old, Don't worry about being the weird one, you just haven't found your tribe yet.

Hey 13 year old, it's okay to feel sad. Just because you're young doesn't mean you don't have a reason to have those feelings. P.S. look into your mental health, you may find that there is help for you!

Hey 13 year old, It’s okay to be lgbtq+

Hey 13 year old, Don't worry so much about what other think of you. Watch those shows that everyone else think's are cringey, keep making cringey fan-art, keep being you. Most people are too concerned with how other people think of them to be concerned with you.

Hey 13 year old, Don't fret. You still have the rest of your life to figure things out. You don't need to have everything figured out when you're that young. Not even when you're 18. Trust me, I'm 17 now, and I still don't entirely know what I'm doing.

Hey 13 year old, It's okay to talk to someone about how you're feeling and to get help. You don't have to feel like you have to fight on your own. Trust me, you're not as alone in your experience as you think.

Hey 13 year old, please be kind i used to be super popular as a child and i was a horrible person. i’m pretty sure the last word i told someone a few months before they sadly passed away was “ew move” please don’t be like me.

Hey 13 year old, do your work.

Hey 13 year old, if u gotta shit while ur at school just do it and if the whole bathroom stinks and people make fun of u they’re just jealous that their shit isnt that powerful.

Hey 13 year old, Don't do things that make you unhappy in an effort to fit in. Everyone feels the exact same way you do, and one of this will matter in 10 years. Do what makes you happy and hang out with people who appreciate you for you.

Hey 13 year old, Brush your teeth. Floss, too. Please learn from my mistakes.

Hey 13 year old, Cherish this time, it's the last step before you move on to highschool. I'm currently 18 writing this, and if there's anything I miss it's going out to recess with my elementary friends.

Hey 13 year old, If you’re struggling with sh. It’s ok to relapse. I did. A lot of people did. It’s ok
