so i know im going to get a lot of hate from this but im just going to come out and say it.. im 13. i dont see why thats a huge issue. im also in love. yes i said it. IN LOVE. and i know you think, "13 year olds cannot be in love." but you know what we are just like you but worst. my bestfriend used to cut and was abused as a kid. if it wasnt for me, her other best friend, and this other girl, she would not be in therapy to this day. these are the years when some girls get their periods and some get braces and some havent even gotten their growth spurt yet. but no. i cant have insecurities because im twelve and should have a jump rope and chalk. and boy do i wish it were that simple. im actually very insecure about my hight and my hair and now i seem just to start crying in the middle of class for no reason at all. but i have an older sister whos about 16. she sets a huge example for me. thats why i follow in her footsteps. i can see what she is wearing and doing on her phone and stuff like that so i do it, too! so just stop the hate on me, and on 12 year olds, too. theyre also just trying to figure things out.
