Dear 12 Year Old Me...
Congratulations! You've officially made it into the totes awk stage in life. While you've had to overcome some obstacles to get here, it is finally time for a fresh new start as you enter middle school. Now that I'm a disney and half generation older, I want to give you some advice to make life easier. (If I had only known then what I know now.)
Although this is an awkward stage in life, enjoy being young.
You're not missing out on family fun after you've gone to bed.
Whatever you do, don't coordinate your braces color for the holidays because, it will look ridiculous after the occasion.
Never choose the boy over a girlfriend. Let me guarantee the boy will be off your radar in no time.
As much as you may hate listening to old family stories, soak them in. One day, those stories are all you'll have.
As much as you loved those "foo foo" drinks from Starbucks, they're not worth the money, or constantly hearing, "coffee stunts your growth."
Stop rolling your eyes and listen to your mother; your sister can be your best friend.
If you're fortunate enough to get a marionette puppet of Justin Timberlake, take really good care of the box and puppet; you'd be surprised how valuable it might be one day.
If someone tells you that you look ridiculous in your Charlie's Angel boots, Britney Spears bat-winged shirt and/or crimped hair listen to them; they might just be right.
Listen to your parents. They know what's best for you.
Try to avoid making monumental, embarrassing, dorky, decisions, but as Ferris Bueller said: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
