Dear Teens and Younger Folks,
- Never, ever start cutting yourself, or self harming in any way. Never.
- Sometimes people just don't like you; It doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong.
- You're not the only one who's anxious/nervous. You're not alone.
- A lot of embarrassing things that no one will remember are gonna happen. Like, that speech last week you messed up? Dude, seriously, you're the only one who remembers. The rest of your class is busy talking about raiding Area 51.
- Speaking of raiding Area 51, don't. Seriously, don't go.
- Yes, the school system is indeed #$%!ed up. Take every chance you get to share your thoughts on it. You are the ones who will make a difference.
- It's true: You really will miss these days. So make the most of them. The most precious thing on this Earth is time. Use yours well. Stay up late. Go to parties. Heck, attend a protest or two.
- FRICKING WEAR THE SHORT SKIRT. WEAR THE CROP TOP. WEAR THE BIKINI. YOU LOOK GREAT. YOU'RE NOT FAT. AND ANYBODY WHO SAYS YOU ARE IS JUST JEALOUS. IF YOU NEED A BODY POSITIVITY MODEL, LOOK AT WINNIE THE POOH. HE'S NOT EXACTLY TINY AND HE ROCKS THE CROP TOP ALL YEAR ROUND
- There is an online Suicide Hotline Chat that you can text through your laptop/phone/other device instead of calling. Here's the link https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat/
And the phone line number is 1-800-273-8255.
Write it down. Keep it with you.
