We asked over on the FB fanpage what advice you'd have given to your teenage self... these are some of your replies!
Amanda says:
Buy shares in Apple. Everything else will feel a lot simpler after that!
Trish says:
Don't settle. You're worth more.
Lucy says:
Don’t believe that men can touch you with impunity. Call them out loudly every time because your body is YOURS and nobody else’s.
Cara says:
Stop comparing yourself to others and judging yourself so harshly... the world will be a lot kinder to you than you are to yourself, if only you give it a chance.
Nicky says:
Believe in yourself. You can do and be anything you want to be. Follow your dreams.
Vanessa says:
Trust your gut, you are good enough and don’t worry you will get to follow your dreams.
Kelly says:
Don't feel you have to agree with your friends on everything just to fit in. It's OK to be yourself, even if that sometimes means having a different opinion. Be brave. Speak your truth.
Sean says:
I think I would advise my self to read more. I only a few books as a child, Enders Game being my favourite. I've now started to read again about a year or so ago and I'm really enjoying it.
Jane says:
Take notice of your quiet moments. They speak volumes...
Jenna says:
Everything will be ok... and even the bits that aren't Ok aren't going to be as bad as you imagine. You're a whole lot stronger than you think, promise!
Krysten says:
Don't change who you are to fit in with a group. Find the group that appreciates who you are already!
Esther says:
Everything happens for a reason - have faith.
Sarah says:
Stop giving up so easily... listen to advice, not judgement.
Magi says:
Stay away from boys!!
Ruth says:
Write books about boy wizards!
Cathy says:
