Don't go to University, I don't care how passionate you are about English - it will be useless. Get a business degree at the local Community College, and realize that you are so much smarter for doing so.

 Cutting yourself doesn't help, and every time you wear shorts people stare. People DO love you, never be afraid to be you.

 Don't think about the past too much. It's all too confusing and will bring many tears. Just be happy where you are even if it feels worse than Hell.

 Don't leave him for the other guy. You'll regret it for the rest of your life.

 Enjoy the simple while you still can...growing up makes things more difficult..

 The one who will show you that they aren't all the same will be your male best friend, not your loser boyfriend

 Listen to what your father says. He is only trying to give you the best future you could possibly have.

 Remember how you didn't want anything to do with her then, and you dont want anything to do with her now. She broke you.
