Dear 13 year olds: it’s the beginning of your teenage years. Don’t stress, you’ll make it out alive. There’s a lot changing about you, embrace that change and don’t make decisions too quickly. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 14 year olds: You’ve just started high school. You’re stressed that people are gonna hate you and that everyone is gonna judge you. Don’t sweat it. Most people feel like that. Click with the people you can and take it from me, get to know your teachers. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 15 year olds: people are starting to tell you to keep an eye out for job openings, telling you to save up to get you license when you turn 16. Suddenly everyone wants you to grow up quicker than before. Don’t push yourself too hard. Embrace your life right now. Life is moving at the same pace all the time, so should you. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 16 year olds: life is getting really scary right now. Everyone around you seems to have a job and have their license and you don’t have one and/or the other yet. Your parents are always so mad about it and claim they just want the best for you, but only you really know. Listen to what your mind is telling you. Take life at your own pace. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 17 year olds: you (may) have a job now and it’s really stressful. Balancing school and work isn’t easy at all. Don’t stress too much. Push yourself as much as you can but never any further than that. Too much stress makes no progress. Now it’s time to think about your future too. Or so they say. You don’t need to listen to them. Your perfect school and career are waiting for you but you don’t need to jump in right away. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 18 year olds: you’ve just graduated high school and now you’re a legal adult and things are different. Very very different. Take the changes as they come, as well as you can and at your own pace. Going to university/college? No one cares what you look like, no one cares about how much you’re eating. They’re too focused on themselves to judge you. So do what’s best for you, when you can. You’re doing just fine.
Dear 19 year olds: in some places, now it’s legal for you to drink. It’s possibly your first or second year of college/university, don’t drink too much please. The alcohol will not help and forgetting everything for a few hours isn’t worth how you’ll feel the next few days. Please take care of yourselves. University is a new experience, you’re finally free and alone, embrace it but don’t take it for granted. You come first. Love yourself. You’re doing just fine.
Dear all teenagers who may be struggling and terrified of their future: everything comes in time. Don’t fear it. Embrace it. You are loved beyond compare. You’re doing just fine. I promise.
As someone who is getting ready to exit teenage years, I wanted to make something for the teenagers of this generation. Because it’s scary, and only hearing bullshit from adults all day is exhausting.
Adults yes you can reblog this and I encourage you to. Please show love to teenagers. They need it as much as anyone else if not more.
