- You look awesome! Stop being so hard on yourself!
- Stay in touch with your friends, there’s a few that will be there a LONG time.
- Saving money is important. Start now!
- Everyone is self-conscious about something.
- Keep exercising. It’ll save you stress later.

I couldn’t agree more! I worried so much about what other people thought of me when I was a teenager. Thankfully my mom was the perfect role model. She would do ridiculous things in public to prove that absolutely NO ONE cared! Her motto was “I’m never going to see these people again!” and I always remind myself of that whenever I feel awkward in public! Or I try to laugh it off.
