Don't be so defensive and judgemental all the time.

Don't worry so much, nothing will come of it.

This is the storm you must weather.
This is what will make you stronger.
This is what will teach you that it's also okay to be vulnerable.
This is the when that will be wisdom later.
This is desperation.
This is your lesson on forgiveness.
This is when you learn your true definition.
This is how you will be empathetic & able to help others in the future.
This will happen again in a different way to an older you, but you will have this to take with you & continue to grow.
This is when you discover you are an animal, like any in the kingdom.
This won't kill you.
This serves no purpose at all.
This you won't get away with.
You won't kill you.
Take another breath…
Take another breath.

This one's more of a warning: A kid's going to cut you in first grade for literally no reason and will not get in trouble in the slightest.

I'd also probably advise myself to learn some subjects at a younger age.
