That guy you are like, so in love with and have the hugest crush on but he never gives you the time of day because he's a football player? When you see him in 10 years he'll have a sunroof and a Homer Simpson gut. It's not worth your time crushing on him and being upset when he ignores you or is rude.

The basketball player who gave you a D+ on his "Hottest Girls of NHS List" that you found and cried over in 10th grade? He's eventually going to be a former HS basketball star turned felon. So don't worry about it. and really, who cares if Mr. Future Felon didn't think you were hot?

The girl who makes fun of you for being short/skinny/built like a 12 year old? When you see her in 10 years, she'll be a size Precious. So get over it. When you're almost 30, you'll be glad to be built "like a 12 year old."

Don't be embarrassed over being smart or try to downplay it (smart was not cool in my school, it was cooler to have average grades and play sports.) The popular cheer/dance girls who brag about getting Cs and Ds in Basic English 10 and make fun of people in AP/Honors will all be working the reception desk at your hair salon in 10 years.

Didn't make Senior Class officer (like, I cried over losing President to another girl?) Within 5 minutes of graduation, no one is going to give a crap. So get over it.

Stop being a Promzilla (I was a certified Promzilla complete with a 2 hour drive to a store that carried the exact dress I wanted, followed by a meltdown in a shoe store because they didn't have the ones I wanted in my size.) After you graduate, that dress will hang in mom's basement for eternity. That, and you'll eventually look at it like "WTF was I wearing?" (I was sequinned to high heaven and could probably be seen from Saturn.)

Being well-liked isn't everything. You're an introvert and that's ok. Stop trying to be an extrovert just because that's what everyone else is.
