What advice would you give to a girl turning 14 in 3 months? Basically things you wish you knew while you were 14.

Edit: I'm going into 11th or 12th grade by September. Due to my Country's education system. Any advice for that would be appreciated too. Thanks

Thank you all for the advice 😊

Start planning your path after school and what you need to do to get there. What you want to do for a living versus what can sustain you with a comfortable life, plenty of vacation, and good benefits can be very different. Yes, it more than likely won't be ideal, but it's a whole lot better than struggling to pay the bills.

A job is a job. The more it pays, the more you can do. It's as simple as that.
