Advice My 15 Year Old Self

Not too long ago, I was seeing "Letter to My ___ Year Old Self" all over the blogosphere.  There were varying ages.... I chose 15 year old self for mine, but I am doing  Advice to My 15-Year old Self  instead of a letter.  Things I wish I could have listened to and learned then.

1.  You really will need to know this stuff they're trying to teach          you.  Pay attention.  Learn it!

2.  Don't take the easy way out just for an A. Take the flute if you love it.

3.  Some mean girls will still be mean at 50.

3b.  And you just might find out they have lost their power.

4.   Be yourself, not what you think someone else likes.

5.  BFF's sometimes aren't forever, and that's ok.

6.  No one is worth your self worth.

7.  The careless hurts you cause now will still make  you cringe at 50.

8.  Prayers don't have to be with your eyes closed.

9.  Don't do/be it to be different, do/be it because you believe it.

10.  Don't be in such a hurry to grow up.
