Dear Grade Nine Me,
I want to say that never take the time you have with anyone for granted. You'll have times where you will not want to spend time with anyone, but go out and have fun with the friends you have, but balance out the time by yourself and time with others. Never stress yourself out over a relationship, it's not worth it. You'll find someone special someday and if it's not in high school it's okay.. their kinda immature anyways. If you do find that special someone in high school, never let that person go. you may regret it, but most importantly know when it's time to let go and never stay around if it's just games. Friendships are the most important things in high school, try to find a good support group and ones who will always be beside you no matter what happens. Always know that people come in and out of your life and no matter how you feel, know you're amazing. broken hearts suck, but you'll grow up and notice that the times you had in high school are only the start of the good ones, yes it will be difficult, but you'll notice that they were just stepping stones to becoming adults. The one thing I want to say.. never leave projects until the last minute, it may not seem like not a bad idea, but believe me it is. Also just know when a guy asks you to go to the river it's not to see the swans.
