- Don't struggle so hard on Biology or Geography. It really doesn't matter if you are not good at it. Don't sweat on the drawings- ICSE board will not make your draw diagrams or maps- they only make you label them. You have all the time to learn biology yet be clueless about the most basic stuff and bodily functions! You will realize in due course of time that your geographical knowledge is better than many people out there.
- Studying MSc Maths will not make you an Engineer.
-You will realize that you really don't want to be an engineer after all.
-You needn't worry whether you would be able to cook and run a house in future- you will.
-You cannot measure your worth in terms of the number of friends you have or whether you have a best friend. It is alright or rather the best to have many good friends with whom you can pick up from where you left anyday anytime many years into the future. And you will realize that these friends will not be current set of friends with whom you love to spend all your free time but you will find them towards the end of your teen years and into your twenties. More importantly you will have a group of like-minded friends bucking you up, cheering you and knocking sense in your head as you reach my age.
-Just because you don't top your class, doesn't mean you will not do well in your career. So stop feeling that you are unworthy and stop comparing yourself with the toppers (we hate them).
-Sometimes, just sometimes, stand up for yourself. Assert yourself. It is not necessary to please everybody
-Don't think you are fat now. There is much more to come. So cut that fatty snacks out of your life right now.
-Join a music class. You will forever regret not doing it.
-And you are definitely missing out a lot of fun not reading M&B's.
-So you judge people who have

Nice specially the part on Bio/Geo and the M&B's. in my tenth std study holidays, I ditched Bio/Geo and read M&B's like there was no tomorrow.
Hmm so hubby's b'day is just a day after yours?
that was an interesting read...lol.
& wow, u & your hubby are really a few hours apart. So, a joint pary planned?
no no- we keep our parties separate! individual attention u see!
Having a huge bunch of friends really mattered then! And I made close friends right until three years back and they are perhaps the best ones. it's great to have friends but when you are young nothing else seems to matter as much! This is one advise I would give to my teen self too...
i so agree about the fat/ weight bit- if only . . .
You perfectly echoed all my thoughts when I read your title. Your blog is one of the first ones I visit every morning and you welcome me with your lovely posts everyday.

IHM- i guess as we mature our choice of friends also become well thought out and one can judge better whether they can really be friends or not
