That “It’s Not Worth It”

Daily writing prompt
What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Doing things to yourself to deal with the stress of bullies is not worth it. You stress-eat and cut your eyebrows off and cry online, but you never tell your grandparents.

You chew on you knuckles and ‘check out’ in class or skip classes altogether, which doesn’t help you.

Please, focus on your self, your health and really make plans for the future. The doctor’s prediction of cirrhosis will likely not happen at all, and if you care for you… You won’t make the same mistakes that I have.

Your life won’t end at 30, and even if it does, make it a life you can be happy living.

~J. Lyst

And please, for the love of us all, don’t share private things with people you’re not related to.
