Dear 13-year old Allison,
Youâre probably confused as to why youâre getting this letter from someone also named Allison. Thatâs okay, itâs a confusing time for us all. Youâll be in high school soon, and thatâs why Iâm here, to help you through it.
First of all, youâre going to meet some new people, both good and bad. Thereâs no way to distinguish which they will be at first, but just know that you donât have to like every new person you meet. In fact, knowing you (and being able to look back on it now), youâre going to hate about 90% of them. And thatâs okay, just suck it up and be civil, because the drama isnât worth it, and when youâre out of school you can stop talking to all of them (which worked out pretty well, if weâre being honest).Â
