You are Beautiful and Unique in your Own Way

This is a small public service announcement to teens all over the world:  

I feel like I need to address this problem. Girls are comparing themselves to others and it hurts me. You are all so beautiful in so many different ways. Please don’t think you need to look a certain way to be “enough”, to fit in social media’s idea of “perfect.” I am telling you from the bottom of my heart, that you are enough. 

You are More Than

I’m more than
I’m more than
I’m more than

Body
You can’t see my body
I have more to offer than what’s under my clothes
Trust you?
Why should I trust you?
You don’t even listen when I say
NO

I’m not a dime a dozen
Oh my skin is golden
But you can’t show the whole damn world
I’m one in a billion
The only thing I’m missing
Is my worth, I hope you’re proud

Bodies
We’re more than our bodies
If you can’t accept that
Then please just go

This is a poem/ song I found. Sadly, I don’t know who wrote it but I will not take any credit for it. 

This post goes out to teen girls. Teen girls get taken advantage of too much. We girls don’t know how to act around boys. Girls get stressed, worried, and anxious when we are around someone who we think is attractive. Girls think we’re going to do whatever it takes to have that boy in our lives and some will go above and beyond to get what they want. But when going “above and beyond,” some don’t notice that they’re being taken advantage of in ways they never should be. 

We girls should be proud of what we have, we should show these young men in the world that we are more than what’s on the outside. It’s all about personality and who we are on the inside, and some boys cannot accept that reality. 

We girls are one in a million. Every single girl is different, every single girl has her own life, her own personality, style, way of living. Anyone would be the luckiest person in the world to have YOU.

GIRLS: be who you are and don’t let people take advantage of you. Make sure you’re comfortable with what you do and how you do it because in the end if you do something that you will regret it’s going to hurt like hell and you’ll never get it back. Stand your ground and tell and show the world what you want and act on it. Give the boys something to run to; show them that you are that one in a million that you truly are, both inside and out. 

Living Life as of Now

Life itself is a privilege. But to live life to the fullest- well, that is a choice. This blog goes out to all the teens that struggle having fun or not knowing what to do or where to take their next step. First thing to do in life is to take a step. Take a step to where you think you want to go. These days there is excessively much stress on teen’s, adults, and every person on this earth. People overthink, people have panic attacks, people stress, people, fail. No girl nor boy is perfect. And that’s our world we live in. But if you keep holding yourself back from what you want to do then the only one hurting yourself is you. Get up and live your life. In this past quarantine I’ve realized that I am myself stress too much and worry too much. I have people in my life telling me what to do but I’ve realized that I’m not going to be pushed around anymore I’m going to tell myself what to do and I’m going to take a step forward into the future that I want to live and I’m not going to let anyone take that away from me. Go on adventures, see the world, make experiences of a lifetime, take risks. Teens, we don’t have a lot of time to be teens so be who you want to be, do what you want to do, live how you want to live, and don’t let anyone get in the way of you living the life you want to live. 

That's a Wrap

Currently it’s just another day, another day of school, or should I say online school. This is the last week of sophomore year and if someone were to ask me how I feel about it I wouldn’t be able to answer them. Out of all my years being in private and public schools sophomore year has been the most stressful, dramatic, hurtful, and worst year of my life. I have learned so much this past year yet been through so much this past year. I went from a low GPA to almost a 4.2 GPA in just a year. I lost friends and gained friends. I got in fights and I cried. That is what made sophomore year sophomore year. I have to say I’ve never experienced this many friend problems in my life. I never went from one group, to another, to another. I never lost as many friends or gained as many friends as I did this year. In part of my mind I say it’s a good thing but on the other end there were bad things. Once again as I keep telling myself it’s weird to think that next time I step on my school campus will be when I’m in 11th grader. It’s crazy to see how much time has passed. It feels just like yesterday I was stepping onto the bright yellow school bus with my new black converse, my mom in her court outfit taking a picture of me standing on the first step of the bus on my first day of sixth grade. Now my Converse are ripped in half, my skirt is too short on me, I am not riding the bus anymore due to me getting my license, my friend problems are all over the place, and I’m trapped in my room. But I do have to say I should be giving myself props for getting through three years of middle school and two years of high school but now I get another two years of high school and I’m just wishing those will be flipped around from what I experienced this past year. That's a wrap of 10th grade. 

Pushing Negative Thinking Out of the Way

I am the CEO of not making it onto the cheer team two years in a row and only making it onto the team in eighth grade because the cheerleader coach felt bad for me. I am CEO of not making student council president my sophomore year. I am the CEO of not making commissioner sophomore year. I am the CEO of not making a leadership club incoming junior year. I am the CEO of filling out an application and getting denied by every single leader ship club possible or athletic team. The only thing left I have is my student council application which I filled out almost 2 weeks ago and I’m still waiting for an answer. If I don’t get on student council junior year my life is practically over and colleges will think I’m the most boring-ist person ever. So give me an application and I’ll fill it out and I guarantee I will not get onto whatever it is. 

My question is why do these negative thoughts run through my mind? Why do I say them out loud to myself ? Why do I feel like I’m a failure? 

I know all I have to do is keep trying and I will succeed one day. And that’s the same to you if you struggle with something in life keep trying and keep pushing and one day you’ll achieve the thing you’ve been needing or wanting. Just know “don’t wait until you’ve reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching your goals.”

Thoreau Walden

This blog goes goes out my 10th grade English teacher from my high school and all teenagers around the world. I’m currently working on an essay for English class right now and my essay topic is "things that are needed for young people to overcome obstacles." You’re supposed to use articles and parts of books to create evidence for your topic. Along time ago in the beginning of the semester my English teacher made us read a chapter of a story from the author of Thoreau Walden. At first I read it, annotated it, and I had so much trouble understanding the deep meaning of the book. All my friends tried to explain it to me but I still could not understand it. Until my English teacher helped me understand it and a light-bulb went off in my head. The chapter of the story was telling how people in life should create a sense of structure for themselves to be able to achieve their goals in life like building a foundation for themselves. When I realized what this meant it stuck out to me so much because my blog relates to the main topic of the book. I decided to use the Walden essay as evidence for my English class research paper. Sadly, when I talk to my teacher she told me that Walden wasn’t necessarily what I was looking for in my essay and that I might have to cut it out from my essay. But she told me I don’t need to cut out Walden all the way because I could use it for my blog. And that’s exactly what I’m doing right now. Just because I cut out Walden from my essay in English class doesn’t mean I have to cut it out all the way. This particular essay really stood out to me and i want to thank my English teacher for showing me the correct path to take with this essay and showing me that it doesn’t resolve all around one chapter of a book or an essay and that there are so many resources in this world. Walden's says that building a foundation for yourself is something very important you need to learn in life which i 100% agree with. So if you’re struggling in life build a sense of structure for yourselves, go over, under, left, and  right to be able to solve your problems or to be able to achieve your goals. Do you have the dedication and determination to want to succeed in life? That is a question only you can answer. But if you do I promise you you will most certainly be able to get to the finish line.
