Make your parents get that divorce before you get into high school. It just gets harder the longer you wait, and you'll feel better when they stop fighting for good. You and mom can manage just fine without him.

 Just let it go now. Once he leaves, he'll be done. 3,000 miles makes a lot more of a difference than you both think may think.

 The moment you stop looking and the second you stop trying to make everything fit together perfectly is when you meet the best guy and make the most beautiful masterpieces.

 If you're upset about something that can be changed, change it. If you're upset about something that can't be changed, learn to live with it. You won't be happy until you decide you want to be. Oh, and it does get better :)

 Your passion is dance, don't ever stop. The moment you stop taking classes because you "need a break" and "want a life" is the moment your heart breaks and your life is no longer moving forward.

 Do not be afraid of being alone. You should never feel so desperate for love that you'll close your eyes to obvious signs of psychotic-ness. He is a crazy sick individual do NOT get involved.

 You can come out. They won't hurt you. You're stronger than you think, and you're ready for this. Go for it.

 Don't let the fact that you never liked boys the way your parents wanted you to hold you back. You're beautiful, smart and talented. Don't scar your body because of something you will never be able to change. Embrace your lesbianism, and love the woman of your dreams.
