Stop being afraid! Take risks! Run track, keep swimming, kiss the damn boy, get your nose out of that book, recognize that you are one HOT babe, let yourself be. As in be your wonderful self.

 Everyone fucks up at some point. I bet you $20 you will too. Learn to forgive and don't be bitter for too long, or you'll end up still bitter and alone.

 Stop worrying about what everybody else thinks of you.

 Why do you love him? He's thirty. You're sixteen. The fact that he's even interested is creepy. He hits you. He raped you. Just leave. Please. And break that nose he's so proud of on your way out.

 Take it seriously. Don't get lost in your own little problems. She needs help. Reach out to her. Stop her

 Wear a condom. I know they suck, just trust me on this one... oh and mullets and cut off jean shorts are not cool..

 She is lying to you... about everything.

 Hug your dad and spend as much time as you can with him. You never know when a divorce will rip him away.
