Dear teenager,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start I\u2019d like to make an acquaintance, my name is Stargazer. I\u2019m just a normal 15-year-old; believe me, I\u2019m a real person just like you. But there\u2019s something more to me, which makes me proud of myself\u2026let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make yourself comfortable, get a snack, settle in, because I\u2019m about to tell you the story of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We go through all sorts of stuff in middle school and high school. I\u2019ve been through those dark days too. I can assure you. The only difference is that I can be your future; and that we\u2019ve shared the same past (FYI: Nothing is made up, it\u2019s the truth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The middle school nightmare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Middle school was made a nightmare for me. It all started then. I have grey hair and I was mocked by nearly every single kid in school. Even my juniors made fun of me, if that helps. What made matters worse was the hyperactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t shared this with anyone, so here\u2019s our first secret; now you can trust me. I\u2019d get these chilling intuitions out of nowhere. I would start jumping, laughing, shrieking and what not. I was mocked again. The sick jerks at my school would spread rumours that I am gay! Although I\u2019m not; and have nothing against LGBTQ people; on the contrary I support them. The sad reality is that these jerks become constant catalysts to making matters worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I love laughing at these people. Even though the cycle of mocking never ends, I got accustomed to it. It doesn\u2019t bother me anymore. I don\u2019t feel left out anymore because I have become one with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be the nice person<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a choice to become like these people and make fun of others or be nice. I chose to be nice. Being nice takes courage and is a test of your will power. It shows that even after being made the object of their jokes, you\u2019re not affected. Appreciate being nice. Love yourself for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that the world doesn\u2019t see the good in you, buckle up, because someone does. You\u2019re brave and smart and headstrong to not have this \u2018school-shit\u2019 ruin you. I know it\u2019s difficult to let go of what middle school brings to you, but at what cost? You cannot let this affect you. Have faith in your goodness, believe me, it works like anything. And as a consequence, even though I\u2019m still mocked, some people in my school love and respect me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time changes, scenarios change. Life takes new turns. Because surprise! You\u2019re in high school now. Alert: danger awaits. But move ahead, don\u2019t quit, things get beautiful. Trust me and close your eyes and move ahead, now. Learn to let go of the past, it doesn\u2019t bring anything, but regret. Whoever you were in those years, don\u2019t let it ruin your today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re a new person. A star in the galaxy. And I\u2019m seeing you shine bright. Love yourself. You\u2019ll love it<\/p>\n”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
