WARNING: Contains Sentimental Rubbish
I feel this is an aptly named post because it will literally be me randomly talking about stuff a 15 year old has to deal with. Ok, so 'deal with' is the wrong phrase. When you're 15 you hardly have to 'deal with' anything to be honest. The hardest thing I have to cope with is trying to do all my homework for GCSEs, so I don't get murdered by my teacher. Let me just say, I am now speaking directly to all people my age: as a 15 year old, life isn't hard. Girls - your hair straightners breaking isn't the end of the world, and boys - every argument does not require you to punch the opposing party.
You are probably thinking "That's it Maia's finally lost it", in fact if you nodded your head at the first instant then you will definately think that when I say: My mother speaks sense. She once told me recently that the most important thing is to have friends around you, and that if you get marked quite low for a piece of GCSE controlled assessment (coursework) then take heed of that fact and think about how you can improve. I being the teenager I am deftly replied "Well it's not going to count towards my GCSE though is it?!". She was right. Friends and positivity is what it comes down to. If you have friends around you, to support you and help you, you will do better. I am sorry this was full of sentimental rubbish - but I did warn you. Just one piece of advice, if you are a 15 year old, listen to your mother - she speaks sense.
Just the other day I was watching the X-Factor and they don't often speak sense or give life advice worth taking heed of, but one thing Kelly Rowland said really struck a chord with me:
"Don't give up. When something bad happens, don't let it knock you down, use it to build yourself back up again".
