sorry I haven’t posted in a while I have been extremely busy with school!
DISCLAIMER: I am not trying to brag in any shape or form.
So before I start my main written thing I wanted to tell you guys that I got my exam results- I got: English- A,Maths-A,Biology-A,Business Management-A,History-A and Physics-B. Just thought you guys might be interested, if you are interested in my point of view of school and things like that just comment below.
So today I thought I might talk about insecurities.
I have personally experienced my own insecurities a lot of the whole way through my childhood. I have dealt with it in a few different ways. I’m not going to list the things that I don’t like about myself, first of all I don’t want you guys to think I’m looking for complements and I don’t want to point the exact things out.
One that I have already on my blog is that I look half my age. I am 15, but you don’t know how many times I have been mistaken for a 9 or 10 year old- it’s not fun.
(I know this isn’t the best photo of me but I thought I owed it to you that I didn’t post an edited photo of me in which I thought I looked reasonable enough to post on a social networking site.)
I have always looked young. When you are a teenager like me you normally go through a lot of changes in your body which a lot of the time I haven’t experienced, for example I am really small and the spots that I get don’t break through the surface of my skin, this means I have really smooth looking skin- that of a childs or pre-teen. Anyway I have dealt with this in a few ways. many of you may know that your parents just say “ignore it, you look fine” or something very similar. This may work for some of you I’m not sure but it certainly didn’t work for me- you look in the mirror every morning and you see yourself- a constant reminder of your insecurities. I honestly don’t think there is one specific way for someone to deal with these thoughts- for me I still haven’t thought of something that works- one warning: crying doesn’t help! For me i just think there isn’t much you can do to change it so you may as well live with it.
If you are like me and are someone who constantly think about what others think of you all I can say is try and please yourself before others- chances are nobody will care if you don’t put on the latest ‘trendy’ shoes.If you are scared people will point out your securities then try to blank that and if someone does do that they obviously aren’t a good friend (unless they are doing it unintentionally).
I promise to those of you who have an insecurity (which has to be all of you, nobody is perfect) that there is nothing wrong with you.
I know that this has been quite a dreary blog post about a dreary subject that probably none of you talk about but I thought I owed it to you guys to try and help some of you guys and if you have an insecurity.
I love you all!
Lots of love
