16 Simple but Sweet Lessons on Life

Article Updated on January 1, 2020.

Turning sixteen is a major milestone, but try not to sweat the fact that you are one year older – there is still a plethora of life to live and learn.

Here are sixteen simple but sweet lessons on life that I’ve learned throughout my sixteen years.

Everything will be OK

• It may not be apparent at this moment, but there is a bright light at the end of every tunnel.

Suicide is NOT a Solution

• Suicide is never the answer. Regardless of how it feels, there are people on this earth who care.

Protect your Vessel

• Make peace with your mind and body. Appreciate being unique – don’t destroy your health to look like someone else.

Stay Active

• Physical activity is the ultimate key to a healthy mind, body,  and soul.

Eat Cake

• That’s all. You know you deserve it!

Be Social Media Smart

• Social media is not 100% transparent. Not every follower has good intentions. If you are feeling pressured or bullied by someone online, report them or tell someone. It is always a good idea to unfollow or block any profile that doesn’t leave you feeling positive.

Study

• Grades don’t determine who you are, but they are important in moving from point A to point B.

Be Good to Your Brain

• Always put your mental health first. If your brain doesn’t receive enough TLC, your body won’t be happy.

Speak Up

• Everyone encounters stress, and everyone has different ways of dealing with things. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help – you will thank yourself in the long run.

Tune it Out

• Music can always brighten a moods.

Girls Rule

• Many boys are not taught to respect girls as much as they should.

Together We Are Stronger

• Maintain the friends who will stand by and support you when things get tough.

Be Passionate

• For example, discover a band that you love and don’t be afraid to obsess over them.

Know Your Worth

• Don’t base your self worth off what others say. Remember that we are all simply reflections of one another.

Enjoy Life

• Go to concerts, have a dance party, laugh till you cry – whatever it is that make you happy, do it!

DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE YOURSELF

• When all else fails, be yourself.
