Two years was a really long time to love someone. You can still love him, but realize that he was never the one. But trust me, there is a boy your waiting for you that will love you forever.

 Ignore the guy who hugs you outside of the booth freshman year. He hurts you. And you never date him anyway.

 You ARE pretty. You are not just average. Oh, and stop being afraid of what people think. They tend to like you better when you don't care and are free.

 Don't listen to them. They don't understand that the most important form of education happens outside the classroom. Only you understand how badly you need to follow your dreams - how badly you need to get out there. You won't regret it, just don't stop until you're ready.

 Do not try it. Lie if you have to, but do not, under any circumstances, try it. It doesn't matter what they think of you. It will consume your life for so many years to come& will be the difference between success, and struggling just to get by & single with two children and a brand new baby.

 Never try heroin.

 Don't lie to your loved ones to gain attention. Those people will never pay attention to you again because of your mistakes, so no matter how hard it is to own up to something, you have to.

 Learn to love you for you. Learn to love your plain brown hair, crooked smile, and thoughtful eyes. Because guess what...he loves all those things and would hate to pass you by because you changed who you were meant to be.
