This is what I learnt as a teenager. Remember I am sharing my experiences and not forcing my opinions on you.


What I learnt as a teenager


1. Everyone is beautiful


Do you know why ? because everyone have their own preference and opinions. I used to believe I'm ugly as a child because my beauty didn't match with my opinions about beauty. I hated my messes up hair, big nose, ordinary eyes. This is what I believed. I wouldn't allow anyone to take up my photograph nor take one myself. I would avoid going out with friends and cry before class photographs. I tore away my class photographs.This way, not only I lost my self esteem but also the natural glow of skin and face which comes from a big heartful laugh and frequent smiles when you talk to people with happiness and confidence. Slowly, I realized I'm beautiful when I saw girls envy my appearance, guys falling for me, family and friends appreciating me. And with that I also came across people who think I don't look good, but it's okay, because everyone has their own preference. I realized society is too big and variant to set an ACTUAL definition or standard of beauty...

2. Someday, some will accept you & love you


What I learnt as a teenager


Yes, people are ruthless,selfish and don't love you despite all the attempts to show them you care. Morever, insult you in public,gossip and do what not. But,


a) Not everyone are same, many out there are just like you, maybe even suffering just like you.


b) They are jealous of you (and somewhere inside their hearts they admire you). Have lower self esteems than you, so yours frighten them.


c) Emotionally weak or mentally ill


d) Too straightforward


This all happens but only when you are around people who are not worth your time. Understand your personality, indulge with people of your type. And definitely, in this big & variant society, you will find people like you.


3. Importance of self esteem


What I learnt as a teenager


Nothing is beautiful and sexier than having a good, strong heart with high self esteem and a great beautiful smile that flashes you're not afraid whatever may come.


4. Heartbreaks and love


Love, if deep, can change you into a new person and can make you cry the whole night when he cheats but lessons are sure to come. Make sure to learn positive things and not negative ones. It has strength to shape a beautiful personality without you actually knowing. Also, learn your worth and compatibility. Understand what true love really is.

5. Standards


What I learnt as a teenager


Develop certain rules and standards for what kind of people will get a special relationship tag from you. Why should she be your best friend? Why should he be your lover or boyfriend? Yes you can love and sypathize with people but not so easily give them such importance when they are not worth it or compatible.


Again, why should you sympathize if he/she previously misbehaved many times? Even your sympathy is not just worth anyone. Consider carefully.


6. Dreams come true


What I learnt as a teenager


Because good things happen to those who think positive so never stop wanting to touch stars ;)


7. Not all guys are the same


What I learnt as a teenager


Lol, at tender age, these immature freaks hurt and we girls start to think all of them are the same but no, not really.


8. Break the pattern


What I learnt as a teenager


When same bad things happen and same bad people come to life, its like history repeating. There's a pattern. Break it immediately by recognizing how it starts and taking actions immediately. It requires experience though.So you need to learn from past.


9) Good things happen finally when you give up hope, sometimes.

10. Importance and defination of a lady


What I learnt as a teenager


Dress tight enough to show you're a woman but covered enough to show you're a lady. Wear revealing clothes not in slutty but feminine way. Don't go for too short or revealing ones.


Do you want to be respected or not ? Do you want to be taken seriously or not ?


11. Music is heaven


What I learnt as a teenager


Give in yourself to it when nothing feels right.


12. Be strong


What I learnt as a teenager


YOLO but reborn after every scar and crack on your heart :D


And at last


Life is beautiful :)
