1.Social media isn't the thing that is going to **** us emotionally. It isn't desensitizing us either, it is making us more aware. In reality, we are wayyy more aware of what is going on than any other generation. The negativity on the other hand, is our fault and we need to induce that change. Social media has helped give people a voice, mend the broken, and help find out who they are deep within themselves.

2.You are not alone. There is always someone who cares. If you can't find it, look a little harder, look around at who you hang out with. I don't mean those just friends at school or those people you hang out with to be cool. I mean the thick and thin friends. I mean the teachers who know you personally. I mean your family. Just look around for a minute. You will find there are SO many people that care about you.

3.Death isn't the answer. It is never the answer. For so many they want pain to end but find this is the answer. It isn't. Reach out. Find others like you or survivors like myself. This isn't an outsider telling you this but a fellow struggler. It hurts. I know. But find another way. You have so much you have to live for even if you can't see it now. It takes time,hope, and effort to fight this fight. I believe in you, I have faith you can do it.

4.Family isn't just blood. Family can be anyone you make it to be. It can be a group of your besties or your roommates. Family is who you care about deeply.

5.Talk to others face to face if you can. Texting all day just doesn't do the same thing ,you know right?

6.Don't be afraid to be who you are. You are so, so special. So do not be afraid to be yourself.

7.Live life to the fullest. You only got one shot. Don't turn down that shot.

8.Write everything down. In the future you will thank me.

9.I am not perfect and neither are you. You will make mistakes like the rest of us. The point of messing up is to learn and move forward.

10.It is ok to not be ok. Everyone goes through the motions. Don’t hide that. Embrace it.
