1. Hurt is inevitable. Your best friend will hurt you. Your parents will hurt you. Your siblings will hurt you.
2. You think you will never be okay again, and every time you are. Pray about it God cares.
3. It's okay if you haven't had a boyfriend or a first kiss.
4. School is important, but so is your mental health. Take days to just sleep.
5. Sometimes you have to care about yourself more than others. And no, that's not selfish it's healthy. Put yourself first, no one else will
6. Life is hard, people will talk badly about you (even those that say they don't) it's okay it doesn't mean they don't love you
7. Forgive but don't forget.
8. It's healthy to spend time by yourself. Go to the movies by yourself. Go to lunch by yourself. Surrounding yourself with the presence of others can sometimes be suffocating allow for yourself to breathe.
9. If you are tired, sleep. Napping is the easiest way to escape the world (even if it's just for an hour)
10. Don't let a boy know you stayed up until 4 in the morning crying over the fact he rejected you. Act like it doesn't matter. Being hurt sucks but knowing you hurt someone is a regret you will never get over. Don't get even, move on.
11. Your mom has been through heartbreak too, she knows what it's like to be lied to, used, and misplaced. She wants to be there for you. It's okay to cry to her about how badly your heart hurts.
12. Sometimes you'll be sad to the point where there is a physical pain in your chest, that's normal. It means you're human. Learn from it and remember that that pain means you have a purpose
13. Be nice to people. You never know what is going on deep inside.
14. Boys are mean. But so are girls. It's okay to ignore people it's okay to walk out of someone's life if you don't feel wanted. It's okay to say no. It's okay to cry when you tell someone you don't want to be friends with them. But DONT go back. That relationship/friendship was unhealthy for you then it'll be unhealthy for you now
15. If a boy made you cry once he'll make you cry again and if he doesn't notice he hurt you he isn't worth it.
16. You are not a number. Whether that be the number on the scale, your GPA, or anything in between. You are more than that. You are a human being with a beating heart and a ferocious ability to love use it and love yourself. No one knows you better than you know yourself and no one can love you the way you can love yourself
17. The world might feel like it is crashing down around you. But you are young you have your whole life ahead of you. He's not gonna matter in two years. You won't see her again in a years time. The college you so desperately wanted to get into but didn't was for your benefit. This is the end of one stage of your life and the beginning of another take advantage of it.
