To my 14 year old self:
You are not as smart as you think you are
You can't give up when things don't go your way
Don't fight so much with your brother
He's not going to be here one day
Never give in to your friends
they depend on you to do what's right
take your sister with you sometimes
You are her guiding light
Things will get harder
that's life, you need to get use to it
when you think it's time
to stand up to mom and dad, don't do it
Last but not least,
to give you more days where your eyes stay dry
Don't let him leave, no matter what,
without telling him goodbye

Awww, how very touching. Some wonderful wisdom to share. Especially when it comes to your family. We tend to take them for granted all too often and that saddens me. We only get one and should cherish them while they are here. A few minor typos and punctuation issues but, all in all, a wonderful entry. Thank you for entering and best of luck to you.

These are all things I wish I knew when I was 14!
