BE PATIENT. - if someone else is struggling with the addiction, do the challenge with them so you feel more motivated - for every week you smoke or do drugs LESS frequently than you usually do, even if this is by the smallest amount, reward yourself by getting icecream or a sweet treat, or tell me in the comments! - hang out with people who do it less, this is so much more motivating For relationships - remember, your no1's therapist - don't feel like your struggling to save a relationship, your better than this - DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOUR SECOND BEST, you should feel like a priority and not like an option - only confess when your ready, you can wait and value your friendship with sum1 if your younger, and wait to date them when your older - i suggest only getting into them during highschool, anytime earlier may have an impact on your mental health and is going to feel like a regret later on - remember, 50 percent of students by the very end of their twelfth year never had a relationship, so don't feel pressured - feel selfish and focus on yourself. if you can't do that, then your not truly ready. be patient and when your ready than get into one. you don't want the other person to feel drained and you don't want yourself to feel drained - be BOLD when you actually are ready, who cares in the end?? if they say no, that experience will be something you laugh at later on in life :) For people who are genuinely hurting other people - distance yourself and let them and yourself grow, it's one of the best things I ever did For EVERYONE - remember, there are so many people going through the same things as you, and if you feel like you never see any people like you, just go on anonymous platforms like this and communicate through comments and let your thoughts roam free - i myself have felt worthless and felt anxious many times but know that if I ever let those thoughts get the best of me, I would never get the experience of high school i wanted. - :) smile rite now!! yes I'm looking at you
