10 Important Peaces Of Advice That Every Young Woman Should Read
We were gifted with this body that we have and we won't get any other. When you take care of it, your body will show gratitude. It doesn't matter what's your body type. Your skin, hair, and physical strength also play a huge role. Great hygiene and physical activities will help you honor your body and feel better in your own skin.
#2 Your beauty isn't based on any boy's opinion about you.
When you're a young female it's hard to reach today's beauty standards. One thing that you need to understand is that one type of perfect woman doesn't exist. Moreover, no woman or man is perfect. Young boys constantly feed themselves with those images that they see on Instagram or even on porn. They've never had any experience how a woman's body really looks like. That's why their expectations are sometimes unbelievably high.
It shouldn't be your problem anyway. Your value and beauty should come from within. When you reach this point, nobody will be able to take it away.
#3 Don't have sex just to keep a guy.
If he really liked you and respected you, your intimate time wouldn't be the only reason why he wants to be with you. There is one very important thing that we need to know about sex.
Women are emotional creatures and they create (even subconsciously) a bond while having sex. Unfortunately, men don't approach it the same way. For them it's just a physical need that they need to fulfill. That's why you'll never create a strong, healthy, and loving relationship that is based mainly on sex.
#4 It's more important to make people respect you than like you.
This one is crucial. Always remember to set your boundaries, limits, expectations, and standards clear. I promise you that there will be many people that they haven't been taught respecting others and they might not be willing to respect also you. It's not your problem because you are not a people pleaser and you won't entertain such individuals.
That's how you teach people how to respect and treat you. People who don't respect boundaries are toxic and not able to like others without using them and feeding mainly their needs.
#5 A healthy relationship is when you feel inner peace instead of an emotional rollercoaster.
I feel like a lot of people have a really unreal approach to how the relationship looks like. Unfortunately, it's not the way that movies and books represent it. You don't feel excited and butterflies 24/7.
If you are with the wrong person, you might feel a lot of emotions such as fear, excitement, sadness, or joy. One thing that may define a toxic relationship with one word is CHAOS.
When you're with the right one, you feel the peacefulness within your soul. With clothes or naked, with words or silent, with smiles or sadness, you feel the same beautiful feeling of being loved and not being judged.
#6 Being a bitch isn't the right way to make people respect you.
I know that when attending school we have contact with many different attitudes. One of the most popular is the belief that being mean to others will make them respect you. I'm here to tell you that it has nothing to do with respect. You can make others be afraid of you, but it doesn't mean that they admire you. They will avoid confrontations because in most cases it's not worth their energy.
If you want to be respected, start with self-love. Individuals who know their value don't need to put other people down to feel better about themselves. Be kind, respectful, and know your boundaries. These are the main things you need.
#7 Be kind. You never know what somebody is coming through.
I think that sometimes it's a really underrated thing in today's society. In my opinion, there's nothing more feminine and elegant than being kind. Just imagine that when you go out of your house every day, you pass so many people. All of them have hidden problems, insecurities, and weak moments. Just because we don't scream about it doesn't mean that nothing bad is happening.
Next time when somebody behaves differently, don't be offensive immediately. Maybe there's something inside them that doesn't allow them to sleep at night.
#8 If you don't tell anybody about your problems, nobody will be able to help you.
I know that sometimes it's hard to reveal our hurting memories or wounds, become vulnerable. Unfortunately, nobody can read your mind. Sometimes we tend to forget that parents or friends are the same humans as we are and they struggle with many different difficulties. They maybe notice after some time that something's wrong with you, but you have to tell them what is it. If you don't know what's happening with you, just ask them to go to a psychologist or therapist. Looking for help is the first step to achieve freedom.
Don't give me wrong. I think that having goals and ambitions is absolutely amazing and we should see the purpose in life, but don't take the joy of being a child away too soon. Except for all of these things that seem fun like dating, having your own apartment, parties, and not relying on parents, there's also the other side. As an adult, you are RESPONSIBLE for yourself. You need to provide yourself money, food, mental and physical health. That's why you should enjoy these years that you don't have to be that responsible.
#9 Don't rush to do things that adults do.
The truth is that you have a lot of time to become an adult. It may seem so great to be grown up but think about it. Your teenage years are only a short period of time in your entire life. You're gonna be an adult for the rest of your life.Don't give me wrong.

You need to provide yourself money, food, mental and physical health. That's why you should enjoy these years that you don't have to be that responsible.
#10 You are enough with all your imperfections.
I know that is so hard to love yourself in today's world. We are bombed with images of "perfect" people, but we need to understand that it's not the reality. The reality is that we have imperfections and we shouldn't be ashamed of them. Of course, easier said than done, but nobody said that it's gonna be a quick and easy process. I just wanted to tell you that you are enough and you are beautiful.
