5 things to write on your mirror, right now

 

Check these out, too...

  • We wanna know...your most embarrassing school moment
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • Get your draw on with the prettiest coloring book of the season
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • Get those bullies out of your head: Tune out the torturers
Those days when you just feel down are no match for you anymore, chica.  We’ve come up with the perfect sayings to get you cheered up and ready to take on anything. Watch out, Valentine’s Day!


The only opinion that matters is your own.

Nobody should have the power to negatively affect how you think of yourself.  Once you know that you’re beautiful and know just how fantastically worthy of all that you want you are, everything becomes available. Who cares what that jealous girl thinks when you’ve got your own back?

Fake it ‘til ya make it.
Your confidence doesn’t come from your physical appearance of validation of those features. It may seem like it when you see pretty girls who just stand out as being sure of themselves. But, it isn’t based off of them being “pretty.”  Oddly enough, it radiates from within.  As soon as you’ve got it set in your head that you’re gonna’ go out and rock it, you’ll get that fantastic aura.  Next thing you know, you’ll be that oh-so confident girl that everyone else admires.

Try and succeed or try and fail. Either way, you win.

If things don’t go your way, then you leave with a life lesson.  Sometimes not getting what you want leaves you better off in the end, and the feeling of never knowing what could have happened can sting you more than avoiding the 5-percent chance of it all ending poorly.

Anything is possible
Often it becomes too easy to take yourself out of the game when you’re worried about how it may end up.  You can be so close to getting what you want and then poof! You get a mixed signal from a boy you like or a predicted storm on a day of your best friend’s birthday party.  Wait it out, things work out right when given time.
 
To do: Be happy!

It’s easy to get caught up in specifics.  Specifics can fall in and out of place too easily.  Make your goal to be happy. When your goal is simple, and all you want is to be happy, it’s more difficult to let little things get you down.

I am not a nice person. I have mood swings that change almost every 3 seconds. I have a BF and a BFF named Maria. I am SOOO nasty to them! Yesterday my BF texted me and I didn't reply because I wanted to punch him in the face. The text wasn't even that bad! It was something like "Good night imy" or something like that. I just remember it making me so angry that I wanted to punch the wall and throw things around. Maria idk HOW she still wants to be my friend. Anything she says that doesn't agree with me (and thats a lot) and I tell her to go away and stop talking to me. And then again with the wanting to punch the wall and stuff. Why am I doing this? I'm worried if I hurt them I'll get in trouble or regret it. HELP?! Thanks.

Hey Kalavera,

First off, try not to question why your BF and bestie are sticking around. They're there with you even through the mood swings, which means they really care about you because they think you're a good person no matter what! Smile But you gotta get to the bottom of WHY you're feeling this way. Is there anything that brings on these mood swings? Try keeping a journal so you can record how you're feeling each time it happens. It's also unhealthy to keep all those feelings inside (but duh, you don't wanna unleash them on your loved ones), so writing them down is a GREAT way to vent. If you're still feeling super angry and confused why it's happening, try talking to your doctor about it. It could just be normal hormone changes, but don't be silent about it - this is totally common and a doctor can help you talk it through, figure out what's going on, and help you balance things out Smile

Mod!
I really need help. In the past, I've had issues with self harm and suicidal thoughts. I want to tell my friend, just because we tell each other everything. But, I don't know how to tell her, or even if I should, because she thinks people who self harm are weak and I'm afraid she'll stop talking to me if I tell her. I don't want to ruin our relationship. How do I tell her, if I even should?

How young is too young to get a facebook? I really think its basically the same as GL without the articles if you set your privacy settings and are super careful, right?
Thanx

My personal opinion is that you really don't need a facebook until high school, maybe eighth grade.  That is, after all, when I first set up mine.  You can't really use it to it's fullest until then.

But, if you don't have a cell phone, it can be difficult to communicate with friends and in that case I think having a facebook in its' place is perfectly okay.

In the end, it's really up to your parents!

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
