What advice would you give to your younger self? Why would you give yourself this advice?

The advice I would give to my younger self is to be strong. For most of my childhood, I could vividly remember going to school fearful that I was gonna run into the same bully everyday. And all I would do is stand there and take his comments. It's like someone was stabbing me constantly but I wouldn't react. The person I've become is someone that I know would have never stood for anything negative said towards me. I was such a coward but it wasn't until freshmen year that I realized confidence is one of the strongest characteristics a person could have. It gives you the power to do things even outside of your comfort zone. This is something I would tell my younger self and I know he would listen because I'm the person I wanted to grow up to be.

  1. "The advice I would give to my younger self is to be strong." That line struck me hard and I can relate. It surprised me because I'd say the same thing besides telling myself to do my homework. It's awesome to see how much you've grown as an individual.

  2. I think that this post sends a strong message to lots of people. It can be very inspiring and and help others feel the confidence to speak about their past bullies. This post also helps give them the opportunity to have a voice and help prevent bullies elsewhere.
