Advice to 14 year old girls.

1.) Your Mama is always right.  She really does know everything, and the sooner you learn that the better.  Just talk to her she's a lot smarter than you think.

2.) True friends don't pressure you.  Even at age 21 I find it hard to find people who like you for the way you are. Don't worry or give up, there are a few good ones out there.

3.) Look for a positive role model, not just a pretty face.  Lots of girls idolize the pretty celebrities but pretty doesn't get you an A on your term papers.  Find a hero who has a positive life story and is inspirational. 

4.) Boys are nothing but trouble.  Daddy is always right too.  Boys stink and are complete idiots and you know whats worse, they never grow up. 

5.) Spend time alone.  Alone in your room is where you will probably figure out the most important thing in your life, yourself!

6.) Keep all your old diaries.  One day you will look back and laugh!

7.) Love how you look.  You might have frizzy hair and buck teeth now, but trust me honey you will grow into your looks.  Plus all those photos in magazines are airbrushed anyway.

8.) Don't start wearing makeup OR shaving your legs.  From the moment you start, its a daily battle.  Just hold out as long as you can!

9.) Be kind to everyone. Yes, I said everyone.  Being a genuine sweet person will take you places. 

10.) Spend time with your family.  These are the people who will always love you.  Never take for granted the time you have to spend with them.

11.) Take advice.  Even if it is from your crazy grandma, the point of this is she will enjoy that you are listening.  Sometimes other people have just the solution you need. 

12.) Respect yourself.  This can be directed to any aspect of your life.

13.) Read your Bible.  From now until forever, all the solutions to your problems can be solved will the help of a little prayer and the Bible. 

14.) And last but not least, don't try to grow up too fast.  I know you think being older is really cool, but it just means more responsibility.  Time flies by so fast and pretty soon you will be 21 and going to your friends weddings, or hosting baby showers, but not now.  Enjoy sleeping late and eating whatever you want, and sleepovers, and being young.  Because the most carefree times make the best memories.
