I don't really know where to put this, but I found it quite uplifting writing it, and it might be relevant to someone else :)

1. It’s not worth it, don’t hurt yourself.

2. You don’t deserve to die, nobody does.

3. Being a bitch to get in with the “cool kids” doesn’t get you anywhere, or stop them picking on you.

4. They’ll get bored eventually because they’ll grow up, and if they don’t - the jokes on them.

5. You’re always stronger than you think you are, even when you think you’re at rock bottom.

6. Therapy isn’t going to bite your head off, it’s not all that bad.

7. You should get help sooner.

8. Don’t take people or situations at face value all the time - sometimes that shit bites back.

9. You’re going to make mistakes, and that’s okay.

10. You are not your failures, mistakes, or bad decisions, you define yourself.

11. A blade, alcohol, or that cigarette are not going to make everything disappear.

12. You’re young, and don’t be afraid to act like it.

13. You don’t have to justify every move you make.

14. Broken hearts can heal.

15. You’re not fat.

16. Don’t let anything knock your confidence.

17. People are always going to judge you, but that’s not your problem.

18. Be brave, and stand up for what you believe in.

19. Hold your head up, because you never know - today might be the best day yet.

20. Recovery is possible.

Like everyone else said, this is great. I wish someone could have given me this advice when I was younger.
