I pretended to be someone else. I pretended to be my own friend and got caught. Now I have nobody.

Oh dude, I know so many kids who did this during school. They're all fine now. They've all moved on. Noone still talks about it except for the complete saddos who haven't really progressed past school years.

High school, for many, will be the worst years of their life.

While free of responsibility, you have the burden of finding your way, and your self, in this crazy world, alongside a group of hormonal teenagers all doing the same thing, and with limited emotional intelligence or experience. Add to this the pressures of the digital world and it's just mad amounts for most people to deal with!

Own your experience. You're a kid too. It's okay to fuck up. You're learning. You'll have wins. You'll have regrets. This won't be the first or last.

You may have to start fresh and that's okay too, even if it feels crappy now. Just keep swimming!
