Over the weekend, I read a blog post on Managing Mommyhood (http://www.managingmommyhood.com ) about Dove's new campaign to increase self esteem.
The campaign details can be found here: http://www.dovemovement.com/en-us/events/toolkit
Continuing with the question posed on Managing Mommyhood's post, I've been thinking about what I wish I had known at 13.
So, here goes:
* There are a billion levels of 'fine', some better than others, but all of them are acceptable as long as you are, in fact, fine.
* Having a sense of humor? Invaluable!
* If he's really interested in you? He'll make the effort.
* Being truly, genuinely nice will get you so much farther in life than being popular.
* You need the bad days to appreciate the good ones
* No one is perfect. So stop trying to be.
* Don't eat your emotions - feel them.
What do you wish you'd known at 13?

I wish I had realized that there's a whole big world out there, and that one day, I just wouldn't care about such silly stuff.
Also, I wish I had not permed my hair.
So true, Heather!
Ugh - I still have nightmares about some of the perms I inflicted on myself.
