I roll over and hold on tightly, and whisper "If they want you, they're gonna have to fight me,"
dear 13 year old sammy, yes i know, i'm only fourteen year old you, but oi bitch. stop doing what you're doing. be niiiiiiice to people. and don't always be looking for someone to aspire to be. cos in a little under a year, you're gonna realise that being yourself is way more fun. and don't listen to what all the mean people say. cos you're just gonna keep cutting. and that is not cool. don't keep thinking about suicide either. cos trust me, although things seem hard, you are gonna be soooo glad you didn't do it! just try to accept yourself for who you are. cos you're not that bad. and in a few months, you're gonna realise that you are a silly little girl! love sammy. p.s. buy more hats.
Don't let them manipulate you into hating the people you should never even dream of hating. Don't let yourself be alone in his house. Don't think it's your fault. Tell all your secrets before they seem insignificant and untrue. Don't ever doubt your self conviction. You're stronger than you think. Enjoy being young and free. Stop being self indulgent. Let yourself trust. Let yourself go. Let yourself be emotionally vulnerable, it's how you learn. Do things which scare you. Don't break people's hearts, don't be afraid to let yours get broken. It's worth it. Look after yourself. Don't be afraid what other people might think. Don't worry about those who leave you behind. Don't let the bastards get you down.
Dear Kayleigh,
Your an idiot! dont hang out with those people in the future, they are twats they treat you like ****. your friends now are amazing dont leave them for a bunch of idiots!!
Dont get so hung up over guys, they are not worth it!!
Dont let your stupid mother get to you!! shes not worth it. she'll always be like this, nothing you can do can change her!
Your a strong person, and very clever!! dont give up and run away when things get too hard. you can do it!
Love Kayleigh at 20
Sick of Crying,
Tired of Trying
Yeah, im Smiling,
But inside im Dying
Somebody save me, i dont care how you do it, just save me
Please don't do that. Please. It's addictive and if you carry on you will end up with scarred, bloody arms like myself. It's not attractive.
Please get help with your issues with food. I know how scary that is, but when help is offered to you, grab it with both hands. Do this, and hopefully you will get through school is a much better state than me.
Please just carry on being happy,don't listen to them idiots,they just like hurting you. They're fxcking morons!
IGNORE THEM!
Please stop doing them silly things. Stop while you can because you've hardly got any marks,and trust me you don't want arms like me.
For your own sake.
Oh yeh and please just get on with you work you silly moo.
dear little hannah,
stop being so silly.
don't do anything stupid, you'll be in the psych ward for weeks and it won't be fun. it will be scary to see how terrified your family is. don't hurt them please.
don't worry about talking. you'll get better at it. people don't hate you as much as you think.
start listening to a bunch of bands so you can say "I KNEW THEM BEFORE THEY SOLD OUT" on the internet in five years.
don't stop reading.
don't stop writing.
you will make friends, it's okay.
don't be scared even when things are happening really quickly and you want to get the hell out.
seriously, you'll get smarter.
well, i have sown untidy furrows 'cross my soul,
but I am still a coward,
content to see my garden grow so sweet & full
of someone else's flowers.
Don't be so naive. Friendship groups of 3 never work.
Don't fall for the popular group's attractions.
You'll waste 3 years of your life trying and failing to fit in.
Being ignored and used from the people around you.
Don't be so timid.
Experiment, have fun.
Stay in touch with you're old friends, but stick up for yourself.
Show them you're not to be messed with.
Don't listen to the girls on that day after school.
Don't take those pills.
Don't. Please listen to me.
It starts a destructive cycle.
Don't waste you're time on that guy.
He turns out to be another user.
Don't worry about not kissing anyone.
It comes eventually. Though maybe not how you dreamed.
Just learn to love yourself.
Learn to have you're own style.
Be who you are.
Read, just because you love to.
Don't be embarrassed and try and wear their clothes and do what they do.
You don't need too.
Don't say those things about jenny and cheryl.
There nice people. They didn't deserve you're ****.
Don't try and make an effort with mum. It does get better.
You don't have a relationship. But you learn to put up with each other.
Trust you're instincts, you'll be right.
Be honest.
And please, when you need it. Learn to ask for help.
Then maybe when you turn 18 you wont need it
But if you do, you will be able to ask.
Love you & have faith in yourself
18 year old Jane
<3
"I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay"
18 year old me...
Spend that money on seeing him, dont make the same excuse about being skint.see him before his time is up.
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
Dear 13-year-old Alys,
stop the puking, cutting, crying, its ****ing worthless:) you're already ****ed up enough as it is. talk to your parents decently and DONT break up with him.
oh,and dont get back with that ****wit james
please
much love
alys
If only you'd ever speak to me
the way you once did
look at me the way you once did
pull to me the way you once did
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone
it's all gone
Trust no-one.
Do some work.
Lose some weight.
Eat properly.
Spend a whole day with grandad, he'll be gone soon.
Get a better hair-cut.
Don't worry your sense of humour will get better.
Don't throw yourself around to guys. It'll only make you look cheap. And You'll get that guilt thing.
Look foward to smoking in two years. Stock up, the age gets raised
Learn to roll a good joint.
Trust me, You'll spend a day with Nick. And it'll change you.
You'll get piercings soon. Clean them more!!!
Don't punish yourself for other peoples mistakes.
Try not to get paraletic too often.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Calm down. Let it out on something else.
Love 17 year old Danz.
And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky.
stop trying to escape yourself. you'll always be stuck in the same place however much you don't want to be. you cannot escape yourself through pain/pills/wine.
Tell Claire what an amazing person she is.. hug her, say good bye. tell her how much she means. how much you think about her every day. - she'll be dead in two years and you'll regret it forever.
Stop messing with your diabetes, you're ruining your kidneys and your eyes.
And.. stop being so tragic, live with feeling rubbish - you're not going to feel better any time soon. and remember love is never worth the pain.
strange thoughts come into your head and you better think them.
You're young. Don't worry about not knowing your style. Continue exactly as you are, and don't stress about conforming; part of your identity is your style, don't try to make your style match your identity.
It's okay to be confused, and it's okay to have issues. Talk them through, don't bottle them up. Try to communicate as much as you can, while you've got friends around you who'll listen. You have no idea how much you'll appreciate that.
For the most part, don't change who you are - but learn to respect yourself.
Accept help on offer, maybe not now, but in the future. Don't hide or shy away from it; it'll be far, far more productive if you take it.
Work your arse off, and do better A-levels. You're capable of them; don't settle for half-hearted subjects.
Don't push your parents, especially your Dad, away. You'll feel bad about it later. And although he wasn't particularly helpful, neither did he deserve some of the things you said.
What's going to happen is going to be scary, but try not to be phased; things will work out in the end.
Finally, don't be an idiot, don't break up with T. He's a fantastic guy, and you'll spend years regretting it.
dear 13 year old ashleigh,
stop thinking about cutting before its too late. you are good enough, and dont let others make you think any different. dont hurt yourself, it will just make life f***in harder later.
please dont start.
you are not a burden to others, they are there to listen.
love yourself.
you are amazing.
Leave out all the Rest:
[Dreamer&Believer and netsirkylime are my bubbly amigos]
[shakespeare's strumpet is my big sis]
<3[absi is my girlfriend]<3
Fi.
I'm here to offer some advice.
The friends you're about to meet will be some of the best you could ever ask for. And you know what I did? I f-cked it up. Don't shut them out, you've been hurt a lot and you'll be hurt more, that's life. Just please, don't shut them out, you don't realise how much they will love you.
Don't go to that party and if you do, don't get too drunk, if you do the results are not pretty. Work harder at school, mainly 5th year, Your whole high school experience is going to suck if you f-ck things up with your new friends, if you don't then only half of it will suck.
Be nicer to your mum. Yeah she's a hypocritical cow who takes out **** on you lot for no reason, but she's stressed. She's struggling, a lot. Don't add to it.
I'm not going to tell you to not hurt yourself. You haven't done it yet but you're so depressed and have been for a while, I know. Just be careful. You'll end up quite liking what you do.
Let the bullies at school treat you like sh-t, you'll be stronger for it.
Don't let the bully at home treat you like sh-t. He's done some awful things to you and your family, stand up to him more. Yes he is scary but you'll be so proud of yourself later. What's the worst he can do? Hit you? That's nothing. Stand up to him and be strong. He has no right to treat you like that.
Yes, you cause their break up, it still makes me happy.
Oh, your first boyfriend is pretty nice, but it turns out he was only with you because he thought you were gullible enojugh to fall for the 'I love you, let's take things furhter!' line. You're not :)
People will taunt you about being gay, but you're not, you're bi. And you have a good time discovering that!
Start playing piano!
Kiss him. Don't tease him. You will want to and you should. I regret not doing it so much. So kiss him.
Treat her better. Don't just abandon her.
Tell him you like him. Don't get in that taxi, stay with him, I've always wondered what would have happened if I'd just stayed.
Finally. Don't fake orgasms, and smoke more weed.
Fi.
Oh! and also, when you're picking your standard grade subjects, ditch physics and pick art instead.
That was longer than I thought it'd be :/

Dear 13 year old me,
Don't be mean to your sisters, they both get put in mental hospitals and it makes you feel guilty!
Don't be mean to your mum because she's the loveliest person in the world!
Don't be mean to your dad because...you'll need him to pay your rent when you go to uni.
Oh and sort your eyebrows out and straighten your hair. You look ridiculous.
hmm what can I say. your future can go two ways. going off the rails can seem fun at the time but believe me, in the long run its not. its lonley, its ruins your life, messes up everyone who knows you an you end up in a mental hospital.
so don't take that route. right now, you are havin the best time of your life. cherish it, thin will go downhill.
lose the impulses. odin at that age isn't cool an double what you take if you want it to work.
learn to put the effort into things for yourself. you will one day realise that doin it for mum will never work as nothinis ever good enough. this fact will follow you through life, get used to it, it will be less painful in the end.
when face with the descsion, don't go near older lads. trust me it will wreck your lfe completley. you can't even egin to imagine how much so. but trust me that its enough that you will still be dealing wth it when yoour 21.
yur grades are good. kep them that way.
stay out of hospital an wait for relationships with ppl your own age. its better than getting older an not having any relationships.
learn to love an to talk, learn to have fun.
I would love to say it all turns o well in the end, but who knows. oh an stay well away from maried men.
firstly stop eating put down the crisps and walk away
secondly sarah will die at 15 prepare yourself
thirdly when your 15 and get detention don't take the shortcut walk the long way
DON'T even think about hurting yourself
WORK at school get good grades and go to sixth form and uni like normal people
DON'T move out untill your ready you will regret it trust me
