Your hair doesn't matter. Cut it off. Dye it a hideous color. No one who loves you will care. 2. Don't trust the boy who tells you he loves you until you're sure that he does. 3. Take your friends advice when they tell you to be positive. Don't tell yourself that there's nothing to be positive about. There always is. 4. Notice more. Notice the boy who sits alone at lunch. Ask him how his day was. 5. Stop blaming yourself. 5. Care. Care about the little things that no one notices. 6. Don't keep the poison in your life. If it keeps coming back, keep pushing it out. 7. Try. Don't do anything half-assed. Do it like you're doing it for all your dead ancestors. Do your best on everything.
