I. If a boy teases you, he is a **** Stand up for yourself. II. It is entirely acceptable to wear brown with black and silver with gold. III. If it is three a.m. and you still don't understand the quadratic formula, go to bed. IV. When you get your heart broken (and you definitely will), ask yourself if they are worth crying over. V. By all means, whenever there is rain, go outside. VI. You are not a girl, you are a person. Behave as such. VII. Dress however you want. Dye your hair unnatural colors. Wear men's clothing. VIII. Have seconds. Eat dessert. Eat second dessert. IX. Love until it hurts, and then ask yourself if it is still worth it. X. Always be truthful, gentle, and fearless.
