Dear Teen MeDear Teen Me,The next few years of your life won't be easy. You're in a new place. You're alone, scared, and about to embark on a whole new stage of life. I know this all sounds horrible, but bear with me! I have some advice that you need to know.First, nothing is scarier than making new friends, but the reward is totally worth the effort.Getting braces sucks. There's no way around the fact, so deal with it.Sometimes it's better to be the weird one than to be one of the herd.It's okay to be the "innocent one" in your group of friends. You'll understand all of the sex jokes eventually.Never avoid your problems. They will eventually
