What is being a teen? What did/does it mean to you?
Before you know it you will be taking senior pictures and taking cap and gown measurements. What shoes Lacy wore to the ninth grade snow coming or who she dated will no longer matter to you. The clique that betrayed your loyalty are now intimidating the next freshmen. The seniors you used to look up to have now graduated and they no longer matter. How boring you dressed freshman year? yeah no one cares because they are looking for your next move. Back when everyone laughed because you walked to school and now you're driving, yeah that's Seventeen. Not having a prom date because every guy is either a jerk or taken, YEAP, This is seventeen..Your high school crush is probably graduated and off to college or married by now *Rolls Eyes*. They say Ladies mature twice as fast as guys so maybe that's why I can't see myself dating anyone in school, but I matured twice as fast as those Ladies meaning that I am FOUR years ahead of the average high school guy. So basically I would be better off in college right now and trust me if I could leave today, I would! Unfortunately,I go to one of the top schools so they don't let you graduate early unless you're Einstein and I'm d*mn sure not. I like to think of high school as a pre-chapter for me. It's the prime years for many but wasn't much for me. I didn't do great, I didn't get a foreign whip, I didn't have a high school sweet heart,I'm not a stoner/alcoholic or anything spectacular.Nothing major happened especially not with my body because I've been developed since the sixth grade. My love for hair extensions did grow, my hair grew, my attitude got better, my talents developed, and my thoughts became a bit wiser. I now love make up and Fashion; These are my passion. I think in High school I found the person that is going to prepare me for the person I am meant to be.
What advice would you give to a pre-teen scared of becoming a teen?
Stay focused and have less fun. I didn't party as much as average but It was enough for me.I didn't want to go to every party every weekend and be that girl. Please do no be that girl! As a senior the chances of people remembering that you stayed home are way less likely then the girl who was drunk at every party freshman year. There is nothing wrong with blending in the back as a underclassmen in High School. I remember my friend Shavonna, ( If you're reading this don't kill me lol ", didn't get dressed up at all when we were freshman. I used to want to walk past the senior boys and sit with them at lunch and my girl Shavonna just wanted to blend in with the wall. And when we were younger I used to think how lameeeee, until our report cards came out and my girl had a 4.0. I just use that example of why you should remain focused on the real goal- Graduating top of your class.Both of use are beautiful and on our ways to success but i'm the average student at my high school and the person who was focused will be top of your class. Your grades will show. Even if you cheat your whole way through high school, it will show in college. There is no easy way out of this, so I beg you, PLEASE, stay focused and stay away from boys because I hear the guys in college are ten times better. *Wink Wink*
