What words of advice would you give teenagers with low self-esteem?

What the hell are you feeling right now…?

Insecure and awkward?

ALL of you are feeling insecure and awkward. You think you’re the only one? You’re not. Whatever you feel around your friends, the shit that goes through your head, the feelings you feel and all the anxiety, all your friends feel it too.

Studying getting you down?

It’s just studying. Hit the books and just study. Get help or tuition if you need. School is just a phase and pretty soon it will be over.

Are you bullied?

It’s get better. I know that when you’re young, things seem like they’ll last forever, but they don’t. It will get better in the future, near-future even.

Also, get help. People do want to help. So speak out.

And stand up for yourself. Bullies are insecure people who are suffering deep down at home. You’ll be surprised at how scared they would be if you actually talk back.

No boyfriend/girlfriend while all your friends have one?

So fucking what? It’s not the end of the world. Not really sure what to say here since you won’t listen to us ‘old’ folks anyway.

If you want a relationship or if you like somebody, then go talk to them. It’s all up to you.

Apart from that, you’re really young now. You’re going to meet a ton of people as you grow up and you’ll be thankful for being single and free to go out with anybody you want.

Your family is screwed up?

To be perfectly blunt, some people are not capable of love, even if you guys are related by blood.

Get help. Or try to hold out. As said, things won’t last forever.

Ultimately, you’ll be growing up. Sooner or later, you’ll hit a point where you will branch out of life on your own. You’re going to have to realize that your life is your responsibility and eventually, you can’t blame your parents.

Your friends are assholes?

Dump them. Life is too short to be surrounded by toxic people.

Depressed?

If you really, really think that you’re depressed, then go seek professional help, or at the very least talk to someone. There’s no shame in seeking help.

If not, please be honest with yourself. Are you really depressed or do you just keep reading up on what depression means.

Bottom line:

Go out, take action, and do something already.

Reading up shit on the internet can only help you so much.
