Some things I've learned:
  1. relationships aren't everything
2. if someone doesn't want to be in your life,
let them go. chances are you're better off without them anyway.
3. unless it affects them, people generally don't care about
what you have to say.
4. big ego's are not attractive.
  5. welcome all kinds of people into your life,
you'd be surprised how many people lie about themselves just to fit in.
6. you're young, but there are things that will stick to you for life.
7. don't be afraid to speak your mind. 

 8. don't let the negative things bring you down.
9. don't do something just for the sake of doing it,
always have a reason behind your actions.
10. chances are, you're going to do things you'll regret,
but something good will eventually come out of it.
11. don't permenantly alter yourself until you are certain that is
what you want for yourself, not just now, but also in 10, 20, 30, etc. years from now.
12. live for the people who make you smile,
not the one's who put you down.
13. there is always a reason to live,
you might not know what that is yet, but when you figure it out,
you'll be glad to be a survivor.
