Just be honest and be yourself, you will find “your people” with time. Trying to be someone you’re not 24/7 is more trouble than it’s worth. It will cost you friends, joy, and a sense of identity.
My 10 year old self was magnificent. I would rather speak with my 17 year old self to impart some advice as she was old enough to hear some cold hard facts
Those bullys are going thru their own shit and taking it out on you. Show them you don’t care what they think (even tho you do) and watch them fade away…
Your body isn’t wrong and doesn’t need to be changed. Don’t listen to anyone telling you that being as thin as possible is the ideal. You’re beautiful the way you are, and you always will be.
Your parents suck and the next 8 years are gonna be the hardest years of your life, but once you hit 20 everything’s gonna change for the better so hang in there ❤️
Your family will resent you either way, so don’t let your abuser force you into recanting. It will eat you alive and permanently impact your reputation & self image.
Being who you are as person is going to be rough as a kid. But you are going to ACE being an adult. Don’t let the fear that who you are is the problem and make yourself small or seek validation from people that think you would just be better “if.” Invest in your friends, invest in your interests, learn more about finances than your parents have the capacity to teach you, and worry first about making yourself proud.

Invest in gold
Do not date him. He is grooming and taking advantage of you
Be more cautious with people – they don’t always have the best intentions
Stay away from guys when you’re 15-22 they’re only using you.
It’s not you, there’s nothing wrong with you. Your parents are emotionally unhealed and have made you the punching bag.

It gets so much better
Hang in there. You won’t always be stuck in a situation you can’t control and one day you’ll get out. And when you do, get a therapist.
Don’t listen to the mean things your mom says, she is going thru stuff herself and doesn’t know how to properly express herself
Lean into your artistic side.. request drawing classes, piano lessons, dance, and a sport. Let the world unfold from there.
Love yourself more than anyone else.
Hug your dad so tight, he won’t be here forever.

Don’t trust those whom are supposed to be most trusted. One day, you’ll be free of them, and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with 😊
Do it, it doesn’t get better… sorry
You’re pretty great. Spend more time alone and try to enjoy it. Find out what you like doing and who you like being around.

Stay away from cousin Kenneth.
Quit being a cry baby. It’s annoying to everyone even you.

Tell someone who would believe me the truth, specifically a mandated reporter that didn’t know my family.
Tell an adult.

Hang in there because one day you’ll get to watch Twilight whenever you damn well please
What you are going through is normal. Ignore those fools.
Try to do everything well and be confident!

Don’t develope an E D cuz you’ll be disabled from it in the future
Unfortunately and Sadly you will not end up being like Paula Abdul
Stop worrying so much about what others think. Just be yourself. It gets easier.
That I wrote a book and I’m trying to get it published. Our life’s dream is that much closer 🥹
Make as much of the time with Grandma as you have. She is your true north.
Be careful what you wish for
Tell someone

You have adhd. Dont go on hormonal birth control.

It’s OCD. The scary thoughts that you worry about aren’t your truth.
Being who you are as person is going to be rough as a kid. But you are going to ACE being an adult. Don’t let the fear that who you are is the problem and make yourself small or seek validation from people that think you would just be better “if.” Invest in your friends, invest in your interests, learn more about finances than your parents have the capacity to teach you, and worry first about making yourself proud.
Leave that blade please, go outside, play like a kid and stop being your parent’s therapist.
