Everyone wants me to grow up too fast. I know everyone has to do it, but every night I cry because I miss being a little kid and I want to be 5 again. Any advice?

 

 Hey girly, of course there's no way to turn back the clock to be 5 again, but that doesn't mean you need to rush growing up either! Take your time and go at your own pace. I know it can be scary sometimes but try to think about all of the great things about growing up: boyfriends, getting your drivers license, high school, prom, college, and all the fun time with friends and family in between. I hope that helps. xoxo

Hey girl,

If you think you might be depressed, it's super important that you speak with a trusted adult like a parent/guardian, teacher, doctor or guidance counselor asap! Depression is treatable, but it's really important that you talk through your feelings with someone and sort everything out. Check out these posts to learn more about some signs of depression and please please please talk to a trusted adult! You are beautiful and are always enough! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/05/01/how-to-deal-depression.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/08/03/news-battling-depression.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/02/08/teens-depression.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/tag/depression.aspx
