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 😊

Explore hobbies and activities. Consistency is the key to getting really good at something, so try things out to discover what you like and working on that regularly, even if it’s a little bit at a time. It will be helpful to have a foundation by the time you’re an adult and will have less free time. Cooking is a useful skill to learn.

Be mindful of what you post and share online and how it can affect you in the future.

Practice saving money and spending responsibly.

Don’t allow anyone to pressure you into things you aren’t comfortable with, especially to try to get them to like you.
