Advice I gave to someone's post and I thought I wish someone would have shared this stuff with me from a young age! Figured I'd share with this community since I'm new.What do you think?

๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ’œ YOU CAN & WILL do it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘Œ

๐Ÿคœ We all experience rough situations in life. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿซจ๐Ÿ˜ถโ€๐ŸŒซ๏ธ How you react and deal with these situations is what matters. These though situations will create the person you will end up being down the road.

Questioning our own selves during these very important, personality building, years of High School is normal. ๐Ÿฆง๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ’ญ You're trying to find yourself amoung not-so-nice, ego driven, (๐Ÿ˜’) young adults also going through the same personality issues and you never even know what they could have going on at home. At the same time, you're trying to figure out your future while under tons of pressure from your family, teachers, and most likely YOURSELF. Not to mention PERPRESSURE! DON'T FALL INTO IT! These people aren't important in your life and most likely you'll never see them again outside of High School in the future. Surrounding yourself with positive, goal driven individuals, with similar hobbies/interests is so critical! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป This not only applies to your school years, but also applies to your entire life. [I need to take my own advice because the consequences of not doing this become grand and negatively end up influencing YOU. Even possibly changing your personality into a sad, negative self talking, self hating, individual with poor self care.] You become who you hang around! Just like, "You are what you eat!" ๐Ÿค›

I went through multiple unfortunate experiences during my four years of High School, dealing with mental health. [Way too much to share on here.]

โœจ๏ธ Advice; I wish I'd have gotten as a teen:

Just be yourself, put your stress into positive activities, find and figure out healthy coping skills that work for you, and don't be afraid to ask for help or to speak to a counselors (be careful with what and how much you share though)!

Become involved in community volunteer work where you'll meet positive people with the same interest(s).

Listen to the elderly, they usually know what they're talking about when it comes to life advice! Help others struggling!

Educate yourself and keep an open mind! "Knowledge is power!"

Be kind and never judge another! At the same time, don't be a doormat and let people take advantage of you!

Have personal boundaries in all parts of your life, especially YOURSELF!

TELL YOURSELF DAILY, WHILE LOOKING IN THE ๐Ÿชž, POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ™: "I AM BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! I AM SMART! I AM STRONG! I AM LOVED! I CAN BE WHATEVER I PUT MY MIND TO!" "NOTHING [and no one] CAN STOP ME, I'm all the way up!" ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ˜œ

Live a healthy lifestyle and remember, "Health is wealth!"

Eat clean, healthy, unprocessed food and stay active daily! Incorporate the ๐ŸŒˆ when you eat fruit and veggies! Educate yourself on health and nutrition! Do sports with positive friends/peers so it's fun ๐Ÿ˜!

Check your bloodwork routinely! Always go for the HOLISTIC and NATURAL option first IN HEALTHCARE!!! Stay away from medications unless all other means have failed!

Brush and floss your teeth daily! Opt for holistic Dentistry and try to avoid root canals or removing your teeth if unnecessary!

Learn about finance and ๐Ÿ’ฐ before graduation!

Learn everything having to do with going to college the second you get into hogh school or even before because EVERYTHING FROM FRESHMAN YEAR, DAY 1, COUNTS TOWARDS YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION!

Vision Boards work!

Have a creative outlet and dabble in THE ARTS ๐ŸŽจ โœจ๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜€!

Get outside in nature without technology and connect with the ๐ŸŒŽ; grounding!

Practice mindfulness!!

Send time with your family (blood or NOT) while you still have them, if they're healthy part to your life! Socialization! Human interaction.

Wait until marriage! Wish is obviously not easy in thus society but so worth it especially if you're a women!

Find faith, a Higher Power!

Find a mentor!

Create a daily routine and structure.

๐Ÿซถโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Hope this helps someone out there. Kind of a mess and I can keep going, but we'll end here.
