Dropping out of school is a bad idea. Yes the bills are hard to pay but your support system will be there for you. Swallow your pride and ask for help. You'll be able to return the favor soon enough.

 Save as much money as you can NOW! The rent for this apartment sucks.

 Don't leave just because of the drugs. You will regret it. He is the best thing to happen to you, even if it gets hard for a while.

 It's okay if you don't get everything you want.

 Follow your passion and go to art school. No matter how 'impractical' your dad says it is. Oh, and don't wait 6 years to ditch the lying boyfriend, your life will flourish without him.

 Don't let your fear of rejection stop you from coming out. It so much easier and brighter and happier when you say it.

 Don't cheat on him with someone who doesn't even care about you. He will give you an infection and leave your ass. The boy you're with loves you more than life itself and he would literally die for you. You're so stupid for throwing that all away.. He never deserved you in the first place.

  You Deserve The Stars Above; Know Your Worth.
