Part 2: Advice For High school kids

In my previous post Part 1: My High School Experience I wrote about my experience in high school and I decided to make a part two. This post is really just about my advice for kids entering high school or already in. I know everyone will have different experiences, but I feel like maybe this will help someone.

* Friends are not everything, if they're not your true friends.

You want friends that are honest and trustworthy.
You do not need a lot of friends.
Not everyone is your real friend.
Remember it's better to have a few friends you can trust, rather than having a lot of friends and not being able to trust them.

*Peer pressure is toxic.

If they are not your real friends, they will not force you to do something you don't want to do.
Do not fall under peer pressure, just to fit in.
People are testing you when you're being pressured, remember that. If you say no to something you passed the test for yourself.

*Be yourself.

You do not have to pretend to be someone else just to fit in.
If people can't accept you for who you are, then at least you're being true to yourself.
Being yourself makes you unique and special.

Hope this helped!

Helpful Posts/Sites For Bloggers

Being a blogger is not easy at all, whether it's a hobby or a job. Every blogger works so hard to put out quality work. But sometimes it can be a struggle. While in a blogging rut I came across a lot of posts that have helped me gain confidence. These posts also helped me realize my creativity; all I needed to do was use my noggin! But before you click on the links below, I'm going to explain what these links mean to me. I don't want to bore you but I'm hoping these will help you too. Everytime I get into a blogging rut I always look at my blog design. Thinking that the design I have is always the problem, I go and I spend money to change it. In reality the major problem was myself. Now don't get me wrong, designs I've had were beautiful it just wasn't for me. During my long "break" or breakdown I did a lot of searching. I'm pretty sure you all heard of Etsy, am I right? This is where I found two shops that have helped me tremendous...

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means. During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...
