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 😊

Prioritize having experiences over having possessions. I spent all my money as a teen going to concerts and music festivals and have zero regrets.

Treat your friends well. A decade from now, it'll be a lot harder to make new ones, especially if you haven't maintained the friendships you had when you were younger. At the same time, friendships don't always last forever, and people change; don't keep pouring energy into someone who's pulling away.
