At 24, those experiences still affect my mental health.
I have so much respect for teenagers.
More often than not, being a teenager is difficult. It takes a strong person to keep moving forward.

Whether joining a new club at school or introducing yourself to a new person in math class, don’t be afraid to try new things.
