Everything is changing at a rapid pace.

You must always remember that you are uniquely beautiful.
Never compare yourself to others, to the way they look, dress, or their financial status.
You are not like them.
You have your own qualities and beauty and theres no one else like you.
Dont let anyone bring you down.
These people only want to make you feel as unhappy and miserable as they are.
Dont allow others to make you feel less.
The sad truth about life is that bullying and judgments dont ever end.
What you will experience in school is simply just the beginning.
You will always encounter critics along your journey through life.
Stay away from people who criticize you and take a stab at tear you down.
Express how you feel.
By doing this I only made myself hurt even more by bottling everything in.
Whenever you feel sad, unhappy, or depressed kindly dont let silence eat you alive.
Talk to me, talk to a friend, or talk to anyone you trust.
Expressing your emotions will lift some of the heavy weight that you carry.
Not everyone is your friend.
Those that say they wish you the best, but secretly hope you fail.
Even the friends you consider closer than others can end up surprising you when they reveal their true colors.
I hope you realize that not everyone wants the best for you.
The smaller your circle of friends is, the better because its likely those are yourtruefriends.
Be more than your looks.
You are a pretty girl but I want you to know that looks are not everything.
Being pretty might attract boys and get you more friends.
But if your personality and character suck, being pretty doesnt matter because everyone would stay away from you.
Be more than just a pretty face.
Dont strive for having the perfect looks, instead focus on becoming a woman of substance.
Your looks should only be the icing on the cake.
Stand up for yourself.
Remember that bullies prey on those they can get away with bullying.
People will take a stab at push you around at school, at work, and throughout your life.
Stand up for yourself.
Dont be the person that everyone walks all over.
Use your inner-strength to defend yourself and take control of an unfair situation when it arises.
Standing up for yourself means you are fighting for something you think you deserve.
Standing up for yourself will help you take charge of your life and believe in your own power.
You will be faced with situations in which you have to say no.
You must learn how to say no to people and situations.
Whenever someone tries to influence you into doing something that goes against your core values say NO.
Say no to gossip.
Say no to bad influences.
Say no when something doesnt feel right.
Set up your boundaries.
The best way to earn respect from anyone is to respect yourself first.
Hold yourself and your life in high regard to demonstrate respect for yourself.
Do not make choices that are disrespectful to the life you want and who you want to be.
Respect is earned through your behavior.
We teach people how to treat us.
When you are acting out of respect for yourself and others, respect will be given to you.
You will only be a teenager once in your life.
Enjoy this time to learn and discover things about yourself.
Theres timing for everything.
Dont rush to do things just because other kids are doing them.
Just because they have boyfriends, it doesnt mean you have to have one.
Youll get there someday, and theres no reason to rush.
Not many good things come from rushing.
Trust me, I know.
Be aware of men.
You are becoming a woman, your breasts are getting larger and your hips are getting wider.
You are becoming more attractive and you will have a lot of male attention.
Boys will take a stab at sweet talk you just so they can get one thing.
Dont ever let boys use you.
Dont fall for this trap.
We lived in sick fucked up world and there are a lot of sick bastards out there.
Young girls and women are being assaulted, touched inappropriately, and raped.
Dont ever let anyone touch you in the wrong way.
Dont ever let anyone force you to do things you dont want to do.
This is your body.
Dont ever let anyone disrespect it, mistreat it or abuse it.
I am not saying all boys are bad.
I just want you to be aware of those that only want to use you and hurt you.
You were made to chase your dreams and not made to chase after boys.
Dont ever let a boy be the center of your universe.
Focus on your education and pursuing your passions.
You dont need a boyfriend to make your life great.
Guard your heart and dont freely give it away to any boy that comes along.
God will confirm of that.
Hard times make you stronger.
When life gives you hard times, you will experience an array of negative emotions.
You will fail, you will fall, and you wont always win.
That is part of life.
But thats how you learn.
I will always be your number one supporter.
I will always be there to celebrate your triumphs and accomplishments with you.
I will always be there to cheer you on as you tackle life challenges.
I will always be there at your highs and lows.
I will have tissues in hand to wipe your tears.
I will have bandages ready to take care of your wounds.
I will always have the right words to say to heal your soul.
I will always be there comfort you.
I hope you take to heart all the life lessons that I will be teaching you throughout these years.
