You know your high school rival? She gets knocked up and drops out of college. You end up with 2 degrees from 2 different universities in 6 years. Stop worrying about trying to beat her and everyone else for that matter. We're all right kid.

 Don't ignore the most obvious blunt warnings in life. Think your actions through before you do them. It could've been so right.

 You have more control over the situation than you think. Crying over it wont help, go out and enjoy life again, your only 17.

 Stop thinking you will never be good enough. Don't jump into bed with every man that gives you the time of day. When you are 23 a man will walk into your life who will make you feel like the most beautiful, sexy person alive. He will never ask you to change. This is the man you will marry.

 You are already beautiful, stop waiting and embrace it.

 Boys don't have cooties.

 You may think you love him, but "the one" is out there. and he wont make you cry. I promise.

 Don't tell him you love him like a brother. You'll regret it. You know it's more than that.
