So next week I'm 16. That's crazy, as I feel like it was just yesterday that I was turning 15. I did a post like this last year, so I wanted to do another one, because I've learnt a lot over this past year.

To be honest I still can't quite believe I'm going to be 16 soon.
1. Never write e-mails whilst you're still angry. Go outside and breath. Then come back, make yourself a cup of tea, and write the e-mail slowly and carefully. Take care of what you say, you may regret it later on.

2.  It's totally fine to not be interested in sex. You don't have to have sex or sexual activity with anyone if you don't want to. That doesn't make you weird, or wrongly wired. You can love someone without wanting sex with them; that doesn't mean you love or care about them any less.

3. Bright candy pink lipsticks never have and never will be flattering on anyone ever.

4. Never judge someone based on how they dress/look, they may just be the nicest person you'll ever meet.

5. Hangovers are a very painful experience. The best way to treat them is McDonald's - just sayin'.

6. When you leave high school, you're not going to remain in contact with everyone, let alone remain friends.

7. Listen to your elders, they see and understand more than they let on.

8. You're not aloud to dress well until you're at least 13, before then it's right of passage to dress like crap and play on gamesforgirls.com - we've all gone through it.

9. Nothing is permanent

10. People change. You can't stop that. People who really love you will embrace that no matter what.

11. You can dress and act however you like.

12. You won't always necessarily discover that a relationship is unhealthy right away. Sometimes it takes someone to call them out for you to notice it.

13. You're not always going to have the same views as your parents.

14. It's cool to be different.

15. Things get a lot better after high school.

16. Every move you make and every word you speak should be calculated and thought through. Use you words carefully.

What have you learnt during your years of living? Let me know in the comments.
