How: do I find out who I am?

Well first of all, if you can’t answer this question about yourself - chances are, no one else can. I can relate to you baby doll.. I’m 17 years old and I still don’t know what direction I’m going to turn to outside my high school walls. Its not easy mama, college can be costly but that is where 50% of all students find themselves. Its not like all teens know what they want to be right away - You’re not alone. Just because your 15 doesn’t mean you have to rush - If you believe in yourself & try your hardest, than that’s all that matters. Okay, so you have problems with keeping friends because you like to lie a lot & keep secrets? I can’t argue with that. That is a mental issue that only you can fix. Why lie to your friends? In the end you’re only hurting yourself. Out of approximately 7 billion people in the world, 40% of that number have the same issues that you are struggling with now. Again I repeat, you’re not alone. Find strength in yourself, in your heart & let it be your guide. Keeping secrets is fine. Every girl is entitled to keep as many secrets as they please, but bottling up dark secrets or harsh feelings - not okay sweetie pie. You should find someone that will change you for the better - & will make you instead of break you. Friends come and go, so you need to love yourself before you can start loving others. Making friends is easy. Staying true to yourself - that’s a different story.

You have a lot of work to do, but I think you are off to a good start.

Sincerely yours,

Yoshi
