What advice would you give to a girl turning 14 in 3 months? Basically things you wish you knew while you were 14.

Edit: I'm going into 11th or 12th grade by September. Due to my Country's education system. Any advice for that would be appreciated too. Thanks

Thank you all for the advice 😊

I would say this is not something you need to worry about. I would ignore this advice. It doesn't apply to the vast majority of people and is not something a 14 year old should worry about.

Yes. I was planning on looking into that advice when I'm older. Say early 20's.

Also, my advice would be to not take advice from people like this online. Find role models in real life who you admire and can look up to and ask them about this stuff. Adults don't have everything figured out as much as you think. The comment above is a perfect example, where an adult seems to be preoccupied with one specific issue that they possibly struggled with......and that likely doesn't apply to you at all.

Find people in your life who are good, who are doing good and who are being good. Talk to these people. Look for mentors in real life.

As a general rule: nothing you read online should be taken seriously. It is too difficult to filter what is important and true, from what is not.
