Victoria Duncan

A: Always consider others emotions

B: Beware of who you place your trust in. The people around you hold a major impact on your life and decisions.

C: Create a good routine for yourself that fits your life. School can be extremely stressful and having a good routine is key to help calm you down and maintain stress levels.

D: Drama. Drama is going to happen and while it’s normal it’s not fun. No one enjoys drama so avoid being a part of drama or starting any when possible.

E: Easy comes at a price. You may want things to be easy now but if you’re not living up to your full potential you’ll regret it later. Strive to do and be better than you were yesterday every single day. You’ll never know how truly capable you are if you want everything to be easy and never try.

F: Fear is an okay thing to feel. This time in your life is very hard and scary. So it’s okay to not have it all together yet. Being scared of things such as growing up, social interactions, what others may think of you, and even just day-to-day life is perfectly okay.

G: Get good grades. I know that right now the majority of people don’t care about their grades but your grades in high school are really so important for your future. They can save you a lot of money and get into some really good colleges. Even if you don’t plan on going to college paying attention in class and getting good is still very beneficial to you.

H: Have a positive attitude. If you wake up every morning and tell yourself that you’re going to have a horrible day then you will. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t you are correct.

I: It’s okay to not be okay. Inside today’s society, mental health issues plague children and so many kids are struggling to simply make it to school. You don’t have to have everything figured out yet and it’s okay to not even know what you’re feeling or why.

J: Judging others is not okay. It doesn’t make you cool it just makes you a jerk. Your words, especially at this age, have so much more impact than you realize. So be considerate of others’ situations and lives.

K: Karma is real. While you may be awful to people today and get no consequences today I promise you that karma is coming for you. So just be nice to people and treat others the way you want to be treated.

L: Love is temporary. I know that you want to get married to your boyfriend or girlfriend but chances are you won’t be. While I know it’s a hard pill to swallow it’s the truth. So instead of trying to fight it or hating your ex learn to breakup calmly and respectfully. Sometimes people simply grow apart and that’s okay! especially at an age like this where everyone is growing every day.

M: Mondays. Mondays are the worst and I know that it’s very difficult but try to have a good attitude on Monday. The attitude you have on Monday actually holds a great impact on your attitude for the rest of the week.

N: Never try addictive substances. I know this is something you’ve probably heard all of your life but peer pressure is killer and it’s important to remember. While it may seem fun at the moment or you may think it’s ‘just the one time’ the majority of the time it’s not just once. There’s no need to make a usually permanent decision this time in your life as your brain hasn’t even finished developing.

O: Outside time is very good for you even if you’re not doing anything physical. Simply sitting outside can be very beneficial for your mental and physical wellbeing.

P: Phones are not everything. Take time away from your phone and all forms of social media every day. Social media can be extremely suffocating and horrible for your mental health.

Q: Questioning your sexuality or gender identity is perfectly normal and okay. I’m not going to lie to you, some people are not going to accept you. But that’s okay as the only thing that matters is that you accept yourself.

R: Rationality. Rational thinking and acting rationally is extremely important for avoiding drama as well as maturing. So try to act and think rationally because at your age it’s very easy not to. Consider your options instead of making rash decisions.

S: SLEEP! Sleep is so important and so many kids don’t sleep at the night for a variety of reasons. But whatever the reason may be for you staying up; don’t do it. It’s not worth it and your body will thank you later.

T: Time management is an extremely important skill to have. Possessing good time management skills is key to keeping good mental health. It is also key for keeping a good school-life balance.

U: Understand that people may not like you but that’s okay because all that matters is that you like yourself.

V: Versatility; if you’re going to ever learn a new skill in life the majority of the time it’s going to be now. So try new skill sets, join a club or sports team, and apply yourself. Instead of settling for simply doing the same things you’ve been doing since middle school.

W: Weird is okay! Be a weirdo, be crazy, and just be yourself instead of worrying about what others think of you. Chances are once you’re older you’ll never even see the majority of these people again. Or if you do see them you both will be completely different people than when you were kids.

X: XOXO; Understand that some people may be uncomfortable with you kissing and hugging your significant other all the time. I understand that you love them and want to hug and kiss which is fine. However, making out in the hallways or doing it in a manner that’s inappropriate is not okay.

Y: Yawning in classes is normal and perfectly okay! However, please cover your mouth when you do so as it’s respectful to do for those around you.

Z: Zoom classes are still classes. Just because a class is online does not mean that you should completely slack off and not pay attention. If you want to be in your pajamas or eat something that’s fine as long as you’re not being a distraction to yourself or others. But still, take the time to learn in your online other wise you’ll be wasting your own time.
